Lord of the harvest

Matthew 9:37-38
37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. 38 Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

Jesus told His disciples (and us) to pray -- not for the harvest -- but for the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into the harvest, which is abundant!

Praying that God would send His workers to the harvest.

Truths:
1) The harvest is abundant.
2) The workers are few.
3) We are to pray for God to send workers.

If Jesus tells us to ask God to send workers, then God must be ready to answer that prayer. Let's spend more time on our knees asking God to send workers and let's never forget the words of Isaiah 6:8
8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: Who should I send? Who will go for Us? I said: Here I am. Send me.

God Changing your Mind

I have recently had to admit that God may be changing my mind about a particular idea. Now, this is not a theological concept - I have not been believeing heresy. It is not about a sin issue although God deals with me about those on a regular basis.
This was just a way of doing ministry. I had one idea of what was the best and God has been gently nudging me to another way of doing it.
I guess one of the reasons it is hard is the whole pride issue. I love to be right about things. It is hard for me to admit that I might be wrong. I have even voiced my opinion to others, so I will have to admit that I was wrong as I follow God's direction. But ultimately it will be worth it.
The other part of the process is trying to be 100 % sure. Is it really God? How can I know? The same old questions. The questions send me to my knees and to the Word. God won't violate His Word and He will talk to His children. "My sheep hear my voice."

Ephesians 3:20-21

20 Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think—according to the power that works in you— 21 to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. • Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21

Above and beyond what we ask or think! Wow.
I can ask and think a lot!
When I contemplate this I realize that this is not just about amount or size of crowd or things like that. Beyond what we imagine will be Kingdom things. God's Kingdom will advance in ways we have not even thought to ask about.

I look forward to seeing that happen!
