Encounter #15:
The Harvest Has Come
Read: Mark 4:26-29

The Kingdom of God is God's Kingdom on Earth. The seed is the Word of God which is scattered in the earth. The seed grows. All the research of science and philosophies cannot tell how the seed grows. Observation of one fact after another produces results, but the question is how does it happen? The same is with God's Kingdom. Unless you are born again (born from above) you cannot see nor enter into God's Kingdom (John 3:1-7). The seed of the Gospel is planted in hearts, and the Holy Spirit does His work. God's grace works in people's hearts. The seed produces grain by itself. It doesn't need our help, but God causes it to grow. The Gospel seed grows in our lives by God's assistance.

The seed produces a stalk, then an ear, then the full kernel, which is the ripe wheat. When the fruit is ripe it is then harvest time. When the Gospel seed is planted in souls there comes a time when it “ripens” and it is harvest time (John 4:35-38). When the “sickle” is ready to harvest the fruit it is decision time; reaping time; the end-time-harvest; the fruit is ripe for harvesting. It's time for souls to come to Jesus.

Jesus labored for our salvation. He laid the foundation by His death and resurrection. We enter in to receive our transformation. Jesus paid the price by His death (John 12:24). From Jesus' death we reap salvation, healing, deliverance, peace, heaven, hope, the Holy Spirit and eternal life. Harvest time is now. The harvest has come. Souls need salvation. They need Jesus. Plant the Gospel seed and expect and anticipate a harvest.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I have planted Your Word in the soul of (name someone) and I am believing that You will bring the increase. Help me and anoint me to be the witness You want me to be. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Application: Be led by the Holy Spirit to witness to someone and plant the seed of the Gospel in their heart. Pray and expect results.

Encounter Jesus: Jesus is Lord of the Harvest. As you hear and feel His heart you will see the need to be His witness. Receive His love for the lost.

 Awake or Woke? Gen. 2:18-25 Rom. 13:11-14 Rev. 19:5-10 1 Tim. 4:3 The Bible teaches that Homosexuality is sin. It is unnatural. Ungodly. An abomination to God. Marriage is between a biological male and a biological female only. Same-sex marriages are a sin. There are only 2 genders: Male and female. Abortion is murder. All lives matter to God. Awake to the Truth. Don't be a part of the Woke agenda. Jesus is the only way to heave, Heaven is real. Hell is hot. The Bible is God's only Word. Awake to God's Word. Don't be Woke.....

Good and Evil:  Gen. 2:8-17; 3:1-7,22-24. Adam was told not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. His wife, Eve and himself ate from it and knew what evil was and were removed from the Garden of Eden. Ever since then,  people are searching for  their "Paradise." They are looking for a "Utopia," a "Paradise,", a "Promised Land," a "Nirvana", without God. They have their own views, religions, and theories on God , sin, Satan, Jesus,  and self.... They delve into cults (Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, Christian Science, Scientology, Hinduism, Buddhism, Mindfulness, Yoga, Meditation, New Age, Occult, etc....). Whenever someone rejects, or is ignorant of the God of the Bible and His Son, Jesus the Messiah, they will try many "paths". But there aremany ways which seem right to people, but they are the ways of death (Pr. 14:12). There is only One Way to God and that is by His Son, Jesus (John 14:6; Acts 4:12).Becaus...

Encounter #12 : God's Family (the Church) Matters Read: Mark: 3:31-35 Jesus' mother and His brothers were outside the house asking to see Him. Jesus had half-brothers and sisters (see Matthew 13:55,56). They didn't believe that Jesus was Messiah and Savior until after His resurrection ( John 7:5). Then, on the Day of Pentecost they were in the Upper Room waiting for the Promise of the Father, the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4). Jesus asked the multitudes around Him if they knew who were His mother and brothers. He said those who do God's will are part of His family. Believers in Jesus do the will of God from their hearts (Eph. 6:6). Jesus was not disrespectful to His mother Mary, nor to His family. He knew His mother's care, love and devotion. Flesh and blood are important. But sometimes spiritual relationships are more closer. God loves family. The first family was Adam and Eve. Jesus was born into a family through a virgin called Mary. All who ar...
