Free Admission Live Webcast ***How to Reap cont.************** How to Reap Your Harvest I once heard about a preacher who was struggling financially. Physically, he was well and strong. He experienced powerful demonstrations of the spirit in his meetings, and his ministry was growing rapidly. The only area of trouble was in the financial realm. Even though he was a tither and a sower, he was not seeing the financial results he desired and needed. He decided to fast and pray. He sought the Lord to find out why he was having such financial difficulty. As a result of his time of separation, the Lord told him he had to receive his finances the same way he received his healing—by faith. In other words, He told him to “call in the harvest.” How do we do that? We call in the harvest with our words of faith. Isaiah 41:15 says, “I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth.” The word teeth in the Hebrew is the word mouths. Our mouths are designed by God to be mighty combines—huge threshing machines that go into the field and bring in the harvest. Gloria said something else during the broadcast concerning the difference between a natural harvest and a spiritual harvest. She said that a natural harvest is seasonal. It all depends on the weather cycle. A spiritual harvest, on the other hand, is continual. A spiritual harvest does not depend on the weather or the economy. It’s year-round! The kingdom of God is always on the increase in spite of contrary conditions. Read Jeremiah 17:7-8. “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” We can actually come to a place in our lives where we are reaping all the time. “‘The time will come,’ says the Lord, ‘when the grain and grapes will grow faster than they can be harvested’” (Amos 9:13, "New Living Translation"). Think Harvest! Consider what Brother Copeland said several years ago in an article he wrote, titled “Get Your Mind on the Harvest.” He said, “If you haven’t thought of yourself as a harvester before now, start thinking of yourself that way. Renew your mind to the truth of God’s WORD. Dare to believe The LORD of the Harvest is calling you—yes, you—to help Him bring in His end time crops. He’s speaking to you and saying, ‘Until now, you’ve known Me as The LORD over your seed. You’ve known Me as your bread provider. But, I want you to know Me now as LORD and Minister of the Harvest.’” Harvester, don’t wait one more minute. Open your mouth—your spiritual combine—and call in your harvest. As Joel 3:13 says, “Swing the sickle—the harvest is ready” ("The Message"). "Father, I commit to be a good sower and a good reaper. I see in Your Word that harvesting is my responsibility. By my words of faith, I will reap my full harvest from the seed I have sown. Harvest, I command you to come to me. I refuse to back off and get discouraged. I will stay strong in faith. I take my hundredfold return harvest. Satan, take your hands off my harvest. Angels, go get it and bring it to me in Jesus’ Name!" Praise God! We are not just good givers. We are good reapers. And, together, we are getting real good at reaping! V About: George Pearsons is senior pastor of Eagle Mountain International Church, located on the grounds of Kenneth Copeland Ministries.
