VISION...

Its been said that, "Satan laughs at our toiling, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray. "Why does Satan have such a great fear of prayer? The answer is "prayer" puts us in touch with the almighty God, the only one powerful enough to change the world! 

Psalms #66:7 "He who rules by his power for ever, his eyes behold the nations, let not the rebellious exalt themselves." 

Prayer is our first work in the harvest and the reason is not hard to find. It is this" The harvest has a lord! He oversees the harvest. Someone supplies the workers and someone controls the progress. That someone is God! Our first business is not to look at the size of the harvest. Our first business is to pray to our God! 

Matthew #9:37-38 "Then he said unto his disciples, the harvest is truly plenteous, but, the laboureers are few. Pray you therefore to the lord of the Harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest."

Praying to the Lord of Harvest implies that we trust him with the results of the harvest. It also implies that we believe our prayers make a difference. Prayer is a great challenge to all of us because it does not come naturally. It is a spiritual discipline or exercise that turns our attention toward God. Prayer is not measured by time, but by intensity. Let us think of prayer in terms of passion or fervency rather than in terms of time in!

James #5:16 "Confess your faults one to another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much."

We must pray in order to face the unfinished task of world evangelism. We must pray if we desire to build a personal world vision. The need, the opporunity, and the Lord drives us to our knees. A prayer that connects, a prayer that invades the impossible, a prayer that refuses to quit! As we align ourselves for this great harvest, let us rejoice in knowing that the Lord of the harvest is still in charge!
