Direction and guidance

Remember during our knee drill grad when I got up and gave the word about raising up a generation? Well, if you don't, during knee drill grad I got up and gave a word about raising a generation to win the world for Jesus.

The Lord is preparing workers for a great harvest. Just as a farmer has to plant and water and wait and harvest in the proper seasons, so must we be strategic in following the Lord's seasons. There is a great harvest coming. Indeed, the fields are white for the harvest, but the workers are few. So let us pray that the Lord of the harvest would raise up workers.

I do not believe we are in the season of harvest yet. The harvest hasn't been that great around here, despite our efforts. Where we will find the greatest reward in this season is raising up workers. Look around at what's going on in the Church. Young kids are getting passionate for the LORD. Older teens and young adults are going to discipleship schools and Bible colleges instead of secular universities. I am more and more convinced that now is the time to raise up a generation. Start with children. Start up Warrior Academies. Disciple children and pre-teens. Help out with Sunday School. GET INVOLVED WITH KIDS AND YOUNG PEOPLE. If we are faithful to the Lord's anointing in this time of preparation, when the harvest comes, the fruit with be enormous.

For those in Vancouver, there is a CD in the War Room called Xtreme Disciples. (if you're not in Vancouver, keep your eye open for it) Check out the track "There is still the youngest." Stacy Campbell gives a very relevant word. I also recommend "Eyes and Wings." Good stuff.

Still try and get people saved, but focus on raising up workers. That's our direction. Lets do it!
