John 4:34-35 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. 35 “Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!

 

He has called us to the ripened harvest.  Harvest Eyes is a focused training designed to “raise our vision” and “look closely” at the harvest around us.  The Scripture exhorts us to go into all the world and declare the good news of Jesus!  We are also instructed to steward our lives, as witnesses unto Him.  Many people sitting in our pews are simply waiting for something to ignite in their spirit, that will drive them to a new way of thinking…focusing on those who do not know Him.  “God is looking for people through whom He can do the impossible.  What a pity we plan to do only the things that we can do by ourselves.” (AW Tozer) A step of faith is the beginning of extraordinary adventures in His kingdom. 

 

Harvest Eyes can be an eight-week series or a weekend conference for a local church or district.  We will identify the mission, targets, methods, burden and how to pray for the harvest.   We will identify the strategies of both evangelism (the verbal communication of the Gospel) and being witnesses (Collectively and personally stewarding our lives as reflectors of who He is)

 

God give us great burden for lost people.  Consider these words…"Can you remember the last time you didn't go to bed because people were dying without Christ?"  (Leonard Ravenhill)

“You have one business on earth…to save souls” (John Wesley)

 

May we develop “Harvest Eyes!”  “I'm sick and tired of (only) reading about church history; let's make (some) by the grace of God!”  (Leonard Ravenhill) We still have time to reap His harvest!
