The Fields are white unto harvest
When we see everything around us shaking and the world in turmoil, it’s easy to wonder what is going on and as believers we begin to pray and ask the Lord, what He is doing amid the shaking. I just want to encourage you that God has not forgotten us and is still working out His purposes according to His will.
Recently, as I was praying, I was asking the Lord what is on His heart for our nation. I saw several pictures flash through my mind. Firstly, I saw Jesus as the Good Shepherd surveying His field, then a field full of ripened wheat, next, I saw the word “harvest” appear and then, finally, I saw leaves falling upon the land and I knew those leaves were for the healing of the nation. (Revelation 22:2)
Time for harvest
I particularly sensed this is the time of harvest of souls the Lord has promised, yet amid the shaking and the turmoil in our nation, it’s hard to see. Yet, I believe the Lord wants us to open our eyes afresh with a renewed faith. He wants to remind us that His word always accomplishes what He sends it forth to do and never returns empty. (Isaiah 55:11)
Then the Lord said:
“This is indeed the time of harvest and it’s time to prepare. The fields are white, and they are ripe. I have been in the shaking and the disturbances, because I am awakening my people to the lateness of the hour.
There will be a harvest, and many will come into the Kingdom, and many will be carrying such trauma and wounding and they will need my healing. I will pour out my oil over them and release My leaves for the healing of the nations.
I am raising you up my people to release that healing. There will be physical healing, but also so much more. There will be healing from deep trauma and wounds, there will be great deliverance.
Get ready, get prepared and begin to use your prayers and prophetic declarations as weapons to set the captives free. For this will be a healing revival.”
I sensed God has taught us and poured so much of His wisdom and understanding into us, along with His love and compassion so that we can bring the solutions of heaven down into the earth realm. It’s time to be brave and courageous and begin to allow all God has poured into us to be poured out to the hurting and the broken. Freely we have received, now freely give.
Jesus in the field
A few days later I was so encouraged when prophet Nate Johnston shared on Facebook a dream he had where he saw a man walking in a field, as the dream unfolded, he realised it was Jesus. Afterwards, someone else commented on his post saying, that we are entering the Hebraic month of Elul on 18th August, which comes from a word meaning “harvest”. Elul is also known as the month that the King is in the field! Wow this is just what Nate saw in His dream.
Jewish tradition tells us that during the time of Elul the King would leave the palace and make himself available and accessible to His subjects. During this time, we can “seek the Lord while He may be found and call on Him while He is near”, because He is approachable. (Isaiah 55:6-7)
It goes on: “Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to the Lord and He will have compassion on him, and to our God for He will abundantly pardon” .
Elul is a time to search our hearts and deal with any sin issues so we can prepare ourselves for the upcoming feast (Feast of Trumpets, Yom Kippur and Tabernacles) in the autumn.
I believe this is indeed the time when the “King is in the field” and King Jesus desires us to come close to Him and have fellowship with Him and to have intimacy with Him. Many of us have been carrying issues and even trauma around and these have been weighing us down, but the Lord wants to bring healing and restoration so that we can move on and become the harvesters in this harvest season.
I believe as we approach Him in faith, we are going to see some supernatural breakthroughs in areas we have been struggling for a long time. I am sensing such compassion from the Lord being released at this time to His people, especially those who have been struggling and going through difficult circumstances.
So let us open our eyes in faith for it is time to watch for the King, for this is the season He is near and the time we can easily approach Him!
