May Watchword: "Harvest Angels are Bringing Reformation, New R&D"

5/6/2017

"The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels." —Matthew 13:39

There's a lot of harvester angels being released right now.  The atmosphere is changing and the shift is happening.

This is not a "daily" word—this is a watchword for the next several years. We are in a time of rapid change and acceleration as the angels of God and His holy people work in tandem to bring reformation. This is an exciting move of God, but it is not short-term and it will not be easy. Big changes will continue to happen over a long period of time because the Church will not be able to hold the coming harvest of souls in its present state.

The Father is preparing the Church to bring in a harvest so big that it will take two decades to bring in. This is why the preparation is so long and intense. God’s people are like an army that is being forced to re-train and re-equip for a new season and new terrain. The Lord is going to be giving many new tools and tactics that we will need for the next season, but some of these will take several several years in “research and development” (R&D). Just as the army’s R&D takes several years to develop new technologies for new battleground situations, the Lord has many reformers hidden away right now becuase they are still receiving bits and pieces of the powerful spiritual weapons we will need in the future. Some of them will not come into the light of day until 2020. These weapons will bring terror to the power of darkness. Some of these “powerful spiritual weapons” will be the people themselves as they abide in holiness and power. Others will be songs, or teachings, or spiritual gifts that go beyond what we’ve seen in the past. We will have no grid for some of what will be released and we’ll be forced to search the scriptures to understand it.

Reformation teams will work together in regions to prepare the Body for the coming harvest. This work of reformation will be to (1) create a resting place for His glory and (2) train and equip believers to maturity until each one could disciple a team and multiply the kingdom. Some teams will be completely devoted to building resting places for His glory. Other teams will be completely devoted to power evangelism and discipleship. If you lean one direction, you’ll need to see the value in the other. The Lord gave these two agendas to us when He gave us the two greatest commandments. Those who are called to build a resting place for His glory are assigned to the agenda of
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength” and those who are called to train and equip believers are assigned to the agenda of “You shall Love your neighbor as yourself” (see Matthew 22:36-40).

A new unity will rise as five-fold ministry leaders receive the same blueprints to restore the headship of Christ to the church and dethrone the spirit of man. This will not be easy for everybody. Some harvest nets will break and old wineskins will fracture. However, this is only to make way for new stronger nets and more flexible wineskins which the reformers will build. In some of the places where the worst fractures take place, the Lord will come and mend the nets and make them strong enough to bring in whales. These are the cities and regions that will have the “sign of Jonah” and move in resurrection power. They will lay hold of the
nuclear fusion power of Holy Spirit union (see John 17). The Lord showed me Atlanta, Georgia as the place where resurrection power was going to be released in a remarkable way because of the unity there.

A shaking is coming to the nation, but along with the shaking I saw a word written in massive letters: “TRUST.” We need the same kind of trust that an infant has. We need to put ourselves right in the Father’s arms and be at total rest, knowing He upholds us and protects us. Also trust that the Father is
“shaking everything that can be shaken” only to prepare the way for the “glory of the latter house” to be revealed (see Haggai 2). The only way to avoid growing weary or stressed with the pace of change will be to follow the cloud and quickly obey the Spirit’s direction. The best way to follow the cloud is to stay in the cloud all the time. Learn to abide in Him and you’ll always be in step and bear much fruit.

Here’s some simple ways to respond to this word:
  1. Which agenda is your primary ministry calling right now? Search your desires and find what the Father put in your heart.
  2. Repent if there’s anything you’re not trusting God on right now. Learn to trust Him so much that you can just rest in Him and not be phased by anything. 
  3. Who are the people (or the team) you’re called to connect to in this season? How can you pray for them and strengthen them?
  4. Set aside time for “R&D”--time to reconsecrate your life, invite His presence, and wait on Him for new wisdom and revelation.

This is verbatim what I've been saying and feeling in my spirit without having the exact lingo. But Ive only been really focused on our region and Morningstar, but this is supposed to happen everywhere. I am called to 1st commandment. I've been telling others the purpose of building the House of Prayer is to create a place for His glory to dwell. Haggai has been a staple lately. And I've been praying and seeking unity. Lately been told I'm a weapon and have as I've been fasting felt an increase in power on my words and when I touch people or move my hands. Trusting in the plan and leadership of the Lord has been huge. Me and my roommate have been praying that the old wineskins will be done away with. There is something physical that needs to be eliminated before the harvest will come in. It is a high place, an alter to the enemy, and a tribute to man's sin. When it comes down it will be a sign of great humility which will then be a prime place for Gods glory to return and dwell. Then that principality that has seated it self on top of that thing will be displaced and they glory of God can be restored and the harvest will begin streaming in because we will be ready with humility, love, and holiness to receive them. Thank you. Your word brings hope!

God's been saying this to me for 11 years. I'm so glad to see it put so strongly and succinctly by someone else. The only thing that's new to me is that the harvest will likely take 20 years. But it's not surprising. But so exciting to read that. I've seen the tidal wave building out at sea while the forerunners walk along the shore looking at the sea foam. I especially love the bit about the church not being ready. I've said all along that He won't bring the harvest in until the church is ready to handle it. Why would He bring the greatest harvest into an all but dead religious regime?! The key isn't knowing stuff - but loving Him. Only with His love (Commandment 1) can we love others effectively. Yes - I'm a Commandment 1 person - but I'm also bursting to see His people equipped and shine like Ambassadors to show His real face to the world. As for the nets - it's been said that the joints are the important bits. When fishermen fixed their nets they focused on the joints - the knots - to make them strong. We need our joints to be strong across churches - among the ecclesia - to be effective for the harvest. And when the church is ready for this - it won't look anything like it looks now. It'll be as different as night and day. The Bride He's building will be as passionate for Him as the current Laodicea is lukewarm. Then the harvest will come and great glory. Then the persecution will hit. Then the rapture will happen. Then great darkness will come. Then He'll return. Meanwhile - everything IS being shaken - so that only the unshakable remains. The only thing that's unshakable in our lives is Him. I love the shaking because I know it's getting rid of the dross and creating transfigured followers. At Last !!!!
