Which comes first Revival or the Harvest?

By -
2020 Perfect Vision = 5780 Both the Roman calendar and the Hebraic calendar indicate we are moving into a new decade A new season. 50 years after the Jesus People Movement revival. 

Without revival, the church folk will not go out into the harvest. 

Without going out it is impossible to bring in a harvest. 

REVIVAL = When the church returns to their first love.
HARVEST = when a revived church becomes the 'second' son who goes out into the field to bring in the harvest.  

 What is your end game? 

 What are you laboring for?

  • A mansion in the sky?
  • A cloud?  
  • A golden harp
  • An eternal vacation?
It sounds a lot like self-indulgence to me. 

Consider this story.

7:00 am You are still eating breakfast when you hear someone knocking on your door. 
You open the door to see two Secret Service agents standing on the porch. 
A Black Limousine is waiting at the curb with the engine running. 
An American flag is posted at one corner of the bumper and the Seal of the POTUS flag is on the other corner. 
The agents quickly explain to you that you are now 'acting' President of the United States!
As you are driven to the airport and step onto Airforce One... 

What do you wish you had spent more time learning, training for, and experiencing to prepare you for this moment? 

 It is called discipleship, training for the reigning with the same character as Christ.
Many going to church services today are largely looking back in the rearview mirror at: 

 Their great hope is to fly away to their heavenly destination someday, they have no concept of discipleship, of training in preparation for their reigning/ruling over nations at the side of their bridegroom Jesus.

In contrast, the 'Tabernacles' church will begin to stand and take their place of influence on the earth as they awaken to see, It is high time to prepare the way of the Lord to come as KING of the whole earth.  

And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.  
The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.   Romans 13:11-13
Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? 1 Corinthians 6:2

Dear Designated Survivor, 

 What are you doing today to prepare yourself for your eternal reality? 
What are you doing in regard to discipleship? 
What are you doing to develop the character of 'Christ in you, the hope of Glory'?

  2, 22, 222, 2222 - Keys to the House of David This Facebook post from Johnny Enlow was sent to me by a friend two years ago and I ran across it again today.  So in good fun, I repost it here.  OK, so the 2's have it. So many of you have apparently been seeing a lot of 222 and 2222 as well and are wondering as to what the Lord might be saying there. Three scriptures that I get for this are: Eph. 2:22,  Rev. 22:2 and  Acts 2:22.  Eph. 2:22 is about us being built into a dwelling place for God.  Rev. 22:2 is about being trees of life that bring healing to the nations.  Acts 2:22 is about being a person of signs, wonders, and miracles.  All three go together and as you see the 222 you are being reminded that you are one that is to carry the power and presence of God everywhere you go.  Life of the supernatural is yours to step into as you host Him. Seeing 2222 at key times is about Isaiah. 22:22. This is the passage about ...

This post is about my reoccurring connection to the Minnesota Miracle and how God has kept the dream alive for a revival in Minnesota that He wants to bring to birth.  October 1971 - Minnesota Miracle Seventeen years old and on my way to a weekend retreat at Camp Courage. There I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on Friday night with many other young people. The rest of that weekend was supernatural, none of us (over 100 high school and college students) showed up at the dining hall to eat, many of us did not sleep, we sought the Lord continuously for three days from Friday evening until Sunday at Noon . God was present in a tangible way as the Spirit hovered over our camp. We all left there changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The speaker that weekend was Dick Eastman he went onto North Central Bible college in downtown Mpls. Monday to lead their morning chapel service, that chapel service lasted for three days! Monday 8 AM - Wednesday 7 PM. The Bible sc...

A WRINKLE IN TIME... another JESUS PEOPLE movement?

First the Natural...  The Jesus People Church in Minneapolis begun in 1972, came out of the REVIVAL meetings held 7 days a week for several weeks at Souls Harbor, Downtown Minneapolis in the fall of 1971.  Coincidentally, the congregation at the renewed Jesus People Church now in Rogers, MN set aside Friday, May 2, 2014, for a Jesus People Church Reunion.  They invited all those who were part of the Jesus People Church in Minneapolis during the 70s and 80s; as part of that congregation in the past, my wife and I received a personal invitation to attend. But we did not go the gala event at a ritzy hotel in Minneapolis. Then the Spiritual!  The same weekend, I also received a personal invitation for Saturday, 5/3/14 to hear Cindy Jacobs at the House Church at 2024 Rahn Road in Eagan, MN. She prophesied that night "another Jesus People Movement" to come. As I sat in that "physical place where I had been one of the Jesus People church elders 25 years earl...
