The Call To Harvest! (Continuing 2)

We can look at our history and proclaim that God is good and His mercy endures forever. He has delivered manifold blessings to us as individuals and as the Body of Christ. Just think of what God has done in your personal life. Reflect upon what He has done in the Church, locally and worldwide. God is still on the Throne and is still in charge of His plan. He has brought us such a long, long way.

But today is a new day. We must walk with God today in His revelation for today. His eternal plan does not change but our perspective and role may change as prophecy unfolds before us. God wants us to continue in His awesome presence and receive His guidance and inspiration daily. We must stay the course and push forward. The mission ahead will not be easy but we can do all things through Christ Jesus. I feel the Holy Spirit calling for a new spiritual offensive. The Body of Christ is being attacked as never before in our lifetime. It is time to take the fight to the enemy. Through the power, authority and anointing of the Holy Ghost, we can knock him back on his heels and overcome him. I have always heard “the best defense is a good offense.” Will we dare to enter the enemy's camp? Will we dare to take back what the enemy has stolen? We must feel compelled to do that very thing!

I am reminded frequently of what Satan has taken from us. He has come into our domain and taken away our precious treasures. He has stolen our lineage, our heritage, our future!

Psalm 127:3, “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. 4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.” David says that children are our heritage and a reward from God, given to us according to God's good pleasure. David is speaking specifically to the value of sons and their ability to defend the family. They will meet the enemy at the gate. They belong to God and to us. The enemy has no right to them. He has brazenly come into our house and stolen them! The very hand of God is against him.

As Spirit-filled believers, we stand in the power of God. Acts 1:8, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Jesus promised that power would accompany the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. But, just what kind of power was he talking about? The word “power” is translated from the Greek “dunamis” which means-strength, power, ability, inherent power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature. The power of Almighty God resides within the life of a believer by virtue of the nature of the Holy Spirit. Therefore the believer is empowered in the Holy Ghost to confront the enemy and deliver a resounding defeat. Satan is already defeated by the Power of God.
