The harvest of souls weighs intensely in the heart of our Great King in this season! He desires to prepare His people for revival, which is already at our door even now. How will the Bride handle the massive number of souls that will want to know Jesus?
In my times with the Lord, I am finding that he is busy working to make adjustments to have people ready to do many things, but there are still 3 types of believers for the amazing season of harvest struggling for breakthrough. This is just one of the things he is moving on at this time. Will the Lord be able to count on you to be a fellow laborer in His harvest? Are you still struggling?
3 Types of Believers Experiencing Struggle for the Harvest
In this word, the Lord laid out 3 types of believers for the amazing season of harvest that he wanted to encourage and motivate. Some are finding it difficult to move among so many distractions, another is fighting giants in themselves, and yet another is doing very little at all. While the Lord is busy making preparations, the enemy is also working to delay, confuse, distract, wear out, and crush hopes.
On March 11, 2023, I had two panoramic visions. On March 30, 2023, I had another audible vision from the Lord. Here in this word, I list them in the order given to me. Come gather with me now and set your heart to listen and understand what the Lord has to say to all of us in preparation for his people experiencing breakthrough on the eve of the upcoming harvest.
The Vision of Straining The Excess
In the first vision, I saw a hand holding what looked like a metal kitchen strainer or colander. I watched as I observed that it dipped the metal strainer in a large boiling pot on the burner of a stove. As I continued watching, I saw that the metal colander had taken something from that boiling pot. It strained many things out of the boiling pot. (To filter it). End of vision.
The Vision of Wild Horses Brawling
A bit later, I needed to lie down, as I was still sleepy from being up late the night before. As I lay there, I went into yet another panoramic vision:
I saw a vision of two horses kicking each other in a wild horse brawl. One was black, shiny, much bigger, and taller than the shorter, brown counterpart. I was looking through a window, watching the whole scene play out.
As I looked out, I couldn’t tell if the horses were male or female, but they were fighting and kicking each other wildly. I saw them kicking each other into things and could hear crashes, loud noises, and thuds of what sounded like punches thrown against large bodies. They pushed, shoved, and smacked each other, shoving each other against various things.
I could hear the angst in the blows and powerful grunts as they took turns laying blow after crushing blow, one after the other. Dust stirred up, and the brown horse seemed to take a beating as the black one seemed to gain the upper hand through the whole scene. I felt sorry for the brown horse, seeing him get pummeled by the more robust black horse time and time again.
Then, all of the sudden, the brown horse kicked the black horse up against what looked like a water receptacle the size of a large van. The black horse seemed stunned and had difficulty returning for another kick as his fall also put him out of balance. The brown horse then reared back again and kicked the black horse over on his back, incapacitating him and quickly ending the fight—end of vision.
The Vision: An Audible Warning for the Body of Christ
Lastly, on March 30, 2023, as I was in the Lord’s Presence, he dropped yet another word into my spirit that seemed to relate to the 3 Types of Believers for The Amazing Season of Harvest:
“Subtlety has taken over my people in many areas. Boldness eludes them, and it doesn’t entice them. They opt to be a wallflower hoping they aren’t called up or called out. The truth of the matter is this: You will be. Prepare for it and be assured of it. You will be required to decide. Where are your true loyalties? From where do you acquire your standards of living? Do you look to the truth of My word and do them, or are you claiming them but not doing them, deceiving yourselves?” “Take inventory of yourselves. The time is coming when you will have to decide. There will be no more fence riding. This is a time of decision. Be sure you hold fast to whatever you decide.” End of communication.
Answers from The Vision Giver
A few days later, I received more information on the visions. Very quickly, as I entered the Lord’s Presence, His interpretation seemed to bubble up within me of the first vision in my spirit:
“I am straining out the distractions in lives right now that have been hindering progress in the Spirit and keeping those lives from burning wholeheartedly for Me. My plans and purposes are coming to the forefront at this time. I have use for my people. I need available, undistracted workers for the harvest. Some of the ‘distractions’ aren’t necessarily bad things, but good things meant for Kingdom glory and praise. Do not fear. Continue to trust what I am doing. I am seeking their good and the good of the harvest.”
Immediately, Matthew 9:35-37 AMP popped into my head:
“Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages [in Galilee], teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news (gospel) of the kingdom and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness [His words and His works reflecting His Messiahship]. When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion and pity for them, because they were dispirited and distressed, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is [indeed] plentiful, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”
Matthew 9:35-37 AMP
Keys to Overcoming Victory
Later, in this time, the Lord also elaborated on the horse vision. He seemed eager to relate his thoughts:
“I want my people to know they are defeating giants as they overcome their flesh. Some have lived in subjection to it all their lives. They are defeating strongholds in their minds and hearts. I want them to know they will have an overwhelming victory in this season. It is time for a turnaround season!”
“It doesn’t mean there won’t be a struggle, but choosing to let go of lies they have been captive to for years won’t be easy. Freedom will come through submission to me, and that will fill them with new power. The same power they need to defeat the sin and strongholds in their lives. These are my overcomers! They will overcome the enemy through my blood and the word of my testimony.”
“Ask them what is their testimony? Are they prophesying my word as their truth? My blood and their testimony of my truth—the promises—will cause them to overcome. What are they praying? I have sent out many pleas for my people to pray the promises of my Word. Now is the time! My warriors are watching and waiting to be put on assignment for these promises! They will assist you in overcoming. Use them!”
“For those that have been misjudged and misunderstood, marching to the beat of their own drums, put down and silenced, that is no more! I long to reward them, for they have proven conformity to Me.”
As I continued to take all the information down, I prepared to end my time with the Lord, and I heard:
“Your name, misread, misunderstood, for some time now. Stand up and receive the flowers. The flowers of victory from Me. Adonai’s company of friends.“
Putting The 3 Visions All Together:
The Laborers
After all these things, my mind swirled with all the information the Lord shared. 3 types of believers for the amazing season of the harvest, all in different situations, being prepared for what’s ahead.
The first group included those who are about the Lord’s work, deeply enmeshed in their tasks, and encountering countless distractions in doing the work. It had worn them out, keeping them from burning with the passion they had when they first began serving.
The Lord sees you, precious one. He is pleased with your work. He is removing the distractions, keeping you delayed, held up, and preoccupied, so you can run doing the work God has for you in the coming season. Let me soothe you with the salve of Galatians 6:9 AMP and Isaiah 40:31 AMP:
“Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in.”
Galatians 6:9 AMP
“But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired.”
Isaiah 40:31 AMP
For many, this is what they actually want to do and have a passion for doing, but because of the endless distractions couldn’t. The Lord is freeing you up to assist Him in this season. This season is a time that we all must pray for the Lord of the harvest to release his workers into the harvest!
The harvest will be so great, but the workers are few. I speak to every Christian reading these words: Pray for, and be ready yourself for, laboring in the harvest! Many will be needed to do this. If you don’t know how to lead someone to Christ, remind yourself in the word. Along with Matthew 9:35-37 AMP, check out 2 Timothy 2:15 TPT:
“Always be eager to present yourself before God as a perfect and mature minister, without shame, as one who correctly explains the Word of Truth.”
2 Timothy 2:15 TPT
As believers, this isn’t just one group of Christians, but rather, all Christians should prepare to present themselves to God as one approved to handle (explain or present) the truth rightly, which is the Word of God! From the looks of the world lately, revival is closer than ever—right upon us!
Stay alert and be prepared, saints, ready to give a timely word in due season to all looking for truth. Make no mistake; the time is coming when people will want to know the hope that you profess! (Proverbs 15:23) 1 Peter 3:15 says it well:
“But give reverent honor in your hearts to the Anointed One and treat him as the holy Master of your lives. And if anyone asks about the hope living within you, always be ready to explain your faith.”
1 Peter 3:15 TPT
The Overcomers
The second group of Christians is the overcomers. The Lord was obvious in breaking it down. If this describes you, how are you prophesying your truth? Are you using the promises from God’s word? If not, get the word of God out and begin praying those promises and prophesy your victory! If you need help knowing where to start, search it out online! We have so many more resources available to us now than ever before.
God loves to see underdogs (brown horses) win the fight of faith. (Over the enemies, the black horses) It takes more than courage and nerve to face the enemies we have as believers. It takes our bold faith in the testimony from the Word of God and the mighty blood of the Lamb!
The Lord says this is a season to overcome, and he has already prophesied part of your recognition for doing so. (Revelation 3:21) He’s already proud of you and rooting you on! See Revelation 12:11-12 TPT:
“For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who relentlessly accused them day and night before our God, has now been defeated—cast out once and for all! 11 They conquered him completely through the blood of the Lamb and the powerful word of his testimony. They triumphed because they did not love and cling to their own lives, even when faced with death.”
Revelation 12:11-12 TPT
The Fence Riders
The third group of Christians is those who hope to go to heaven and also hope not to be called out to prove they are Christians before they do. While the Lord didn’t mention lukewarm Christians, I believe this is still close to the intentions of His heart. These individuals have accepted Christ but have not established a firm foundation in God.
They ride the fence because they haven’t allowed the scriptures to change their lives fully. They have lived in the world and become comfortable in it. By outward indications, there is very little difference between them and the world.
In this word, the Lord gives them a stern yet merciful warning. They must now decide which side of the fence they will remain on. Yes, they may go to church and be a sincerely nice person, listening to the Word, but are they allowing the Word of God to change them? Are they doers of the Word?
The Bible tells us that ‘by their fruit, you shall know them.’ (Matthew 7:16). The Lord says that hiding and ‘fence riding’ is no longer a choice as it is decision time. To not decide is to decide because all will be required to do so. Take a look at 2 Corinthians 13:5 AMP:
“Test and evaluate yourselves to see whether you are in the faith and living your lives as [committed] believers. Examine yourselves [not me]! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves [by an ongoing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test and are rejected as counterfeit?”
2 Corinthians 13:5 AMP
Final Thoughts
It’s decision time, indeed, my friends. Be excited and expectant in the coming days. What a merciful God we serve to send out mercy, comfort, encouragement, and warning. The time is short for us all. If you find yourself burdened, be encouraged. His yoke is easy.
If you are battling yourself and your hang-ups, deliverance is upon you holding the victor’s flowers. Prepare yourself also, as the Lord said, for those that will want to know the Savior. Search the scriptures to be ready in any and every season to speak on the hope that you have in Jesus.
If you are one of the ones still deciding to side with Jesus or have yet to fully conform to the decision made years ago to invite Jesus into your heart, take heart. There is still time. Rededicating your life to Jesus is just one decision away.
Don’t forget the Lord’s stern warning: “Make sure you hold fast to whatever you decide.” That means feel very sure of the final decision you make. It will be one you keep through eternity. Joshua 24:15 says it right. Let this scripture be your guide as you look to the future yet to come.
“If it is unacceptable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15 AMP
