John 4:35 Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then the harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.
Mathew 9:37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.
Mathew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
God has been doing a great deal these days. In the spirit…there is a lot going on! If you could see in the spirit world… there’s a lot the enemy is doing and there is a lot going on in the natural… we can see some of that by watching the news. But the Lord has His army of angels and workers out there too! Many things are being orchestrated and the Lord says that many people are waiting for us to hold up the light so they can see their way into the kingdom. They WILL follow the light. We need to shine brightly for Jesus right now.
I go out every day with my flashlight into the darkness. Even in my house I’m shining my light to anyone who enters and also on my phone and the internet and on my knees in prayer for people to get saved.
I mean business right now for the Lord and have stepped up my game. Ask my husband…all I do is think about and pray about… how I can get people to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. I have my own tracts of my own testimonies. I find it easier to share what I’ve been through and what God has done in my life. I also have my own personalized tracts with scriptures and info about salvation. I had them printed up and when I go out… I hand them to strangers as the Holy Spirit leads me to. I’m….you know what I’m going to say here…..59 years old and I don’t know how long I have left but I tell you….I’m not going to waste one precious minute of my life not doing all I can to share the “good news” of Jesus Christ. I raised my kids and can spend even more time to the cause of Jesus Christ.
I feel very strongly to say this to everyone….the harvest is ready….please dust off your testimony and get equipped and trained in presenting the gospel to others. Let your everyday life so scream the name of Jesus in how you are living… that others will want what you have. That they will see Jesus in your life. People’s eternal lives are depending on you. Don’t leave this up to the missionaries or your pastor or church…we are in fact…”the church of Jesus Christ”….we all are workers in God’s kingdom…we are all a part of the vine. We all have gifts and talents to share. We all can flow in the anointing of the Lord. We are the Church! Onward Christian soldiers. Let’s carry that bloodstained banner so all can see and hear about the good news. Pray for boldness and wisdom. On we go…. forward march!!

Great post Tanya,
It is wonderful to know that Jesus Christ, left us the great commission, however it is sad, that some in the body of Christ, have to be continually pumped up to follow His command.
“Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature”. What is there not to understand about that. The ‘world’ is where you work, or your home or your neigbourhood, in fact everywhere you go!
The enemy’s duty is to stop the Word of God spreading, and I am sure he is happy, when we miss blatant opportunities to spread the Word.
May the Lord revie the hearts of luke warm christians to be more passionate about spreading the Word.
The Lord has been speaking to me about this very subject, and I am delighted that He is continually raising this subject with me in various ways.
Blessings to you and your household, Tanya.

Thank you for this Timely Word. I’ve been sensing the same thing in my spirit. The funny thing is is that I wrote something today that was also inspired by the Holy Spirit Entitled “I will be your God and You will be my People”.

I feel that God is definitely up to something Great, we just have to prepare ourselves for it as you have pointed out here.
Thank you Tanya for this encouraging word. May God continue to reveal more of Himself to you. Stay blessed sister. 😀
