SUPERNATURAL HARVEST TIME

Amos gives us unusual insight into the season of harvest we are now experiencing.  Amos 9:13
"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper...."  Normally there where four months between the final reaping of the harvest and the start of plowing the fields to plant new seed.  Jesus spoke of this season in John 4:34 "Say not there are four months then comes the harvest... look on the fields, they are already white unto harvest".

I am an old farm boy, raised on a ranch in Colorado.  I know how the seasons work.  First the plowing then the planting, then the harvest.  But both Jesus and Amos say there is coming a season on earth that these seasons are not natural.  There will be such an abundance of harvest and so much harvest to be taken that the reaper will still be in the field when  the plowman starts his new season.

We are now in that season.  We are now gleaning the corners of the fields.  The remote villages and places that still have not heard the gospel. The 2.3 billion people who have never been reached. Amos had just talked about the "Restoration of the tabernacle of David".... in the verses prior to the plowman.  David's tabernacle has now been restored and all the gentiles who are called by His name are gathering to it. Acts 15 talks about this event at the apostolic counsel at which  the apostle James is moderating.  Paul and Barnabus had just returned from their missionary journey along with Peter and his team.  They all said the same thing... the Spirit has fallen on the Gentiles.  The final gathering was now  taking place. 

We are now in the most incredible season of harvest the world has ever seen!  Jesus prayer has been answered when He said, "Pray ye the Lord of the harvest, to send forth laborers into the harvest".  We no longer need to pray for laborers.   We have thousands of National Indigenous teams waiting at the door of their church to go out to the unreached villages.  But they do not have the training and  the tools. We could, for example, immediately launch 5,000 teams in India alone from just one group of churches!  Another church  group of 555 churches have asked  me to launch a team in each of their churches.  If we had  the funds and resources, we could literally launch the 7,808 "MAT" teams needed to  finish  the harvest. 

Why have we entered into such a incredible season of harvest?  I believe it is because of several things: 
1, We have recently completed an almost 30 year concerted prayer season for the 10/40 window where most of the unreached people groups live.
2.We have entered into an age of global communications, especially through the internet.  You cannot go to the most remote places on earth without finding internet cafe's.  I get emails from remote jungle village people... it amazes me!  The world has truly become flat with this information age upon us.  Thus we have the fastest growing world wide evangelism association with Action Evangelism.  We come up #1 in Yahoo and Msn search engines!
3. We have media tools today that former evangelism teams never experienced.  Through our multi-media presentations in villages that do not even have electricity, we are seeing hundreds come to Christ nightly instead of using literature tools where only a few are saved.
4. Because of the seasons of God's prophetic timetable.  Jesus again said, "When this gospel of the kingdom is preached in all the world unto all nations (ethne, i.e. people groups), then shall the end come.  Jesus is not coming back until the entire world has heard the good news. 
I don't know about you, but I am excited, motivated, encouraged and committed to see the harvest come in.  I thank God we live in such a powerful time on earth as we now live in.  Don't be discouraged, downtrodden or  depressed!  God is going to provide a way where their seems to be no way.  He is faithful!
