What Heaven Is Saying Today by Pastor James Durham

What Heaven is Saying Today

This morning as I was lifted up into the Lord’s presence, I saw angels carrying large empty wooden boxes (like those used to collect the harvest). Then I understood in my spirit that these were being taken back into storage because the harvest was in the storehouse. There was great joy in heaven because the harvest this year was bountiful. A double portion harvest had been brought into the storehouse. The Lord was pleased as He acknowledged this wonderful increase for the Kingdom of God. Then He announced that it was time to rest and celebrate the feast. I remember that Shabbat begins at sundown and it has already started in parts of the world. There was a big word of “Shabbat Shalom” from heaven spoken over the Lord’s people today.

 

The Lord gave a vision at this point. It was in black and white rather than in color. When I saw that, I knew that something was missing. I saw someone on a bicycle at a fruit and vegetable stand, but everything was gone. This person had a large basket attached to the front of the bicycle, but it was empty. He was looking helplessly at all the empty wooden crates. Here was someone who missed the harvest. He had been out enjoying himself and living at ease. He had not worked in the Lord’s fields and now it was too late to receive his reward. My heart went out to Him. Then I understood that those who received the double portion had more than enough and could share. In sharing, they could witness for the Lord and break the spirit of heaviness off of this person. This was ministry time, and the Lord’s faithful have much to do in this season.

 

Then I heard the Lord say, “Be careful! The plowmen are overtaking the reapers!” I was immediately given Amos 9:13-15, “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; The mountains shall drip with sweet wine, And all the hills shall flow with it. I will bring back the captives of My people Israel; They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them. I will plant them in their land, And no longer shall they be pulled up From the land I have given them,” Says the Lord your God.”

 

The harvest of the Lord is multidimensional. We are in the season when plowing, sowing, cultivating, and reaping are happening at the same time. We have moved into a season when the Harvest will come in to the storehouse every month. Like the trees of life in heaven which produce a new crop every month, that has been released to us as the flow of that same living water is moving into us, through us, and into the fields of the Lord. The harvest time is happening on all three levels (spirit, soul, and body) of the Lord’s people.

 

Then I saw the Lord’s people in the harvest fields on earth. Everything and everyone was working in perfect harmony as the Holy Spirit was leading. The plowmen were moving so smoothly between the sowers, the harvesters, the cultivators and the reapers. Everyone was moving in a newly released rhythm of the Spirit to work in cooperation and unity. This unity was opening another new season of harvest increase. I understood in my spirit that we have moved into another season of the hundred fold return. This is the season of Isaac who sowed in a season of famine. The outcome is recorded in Genesis 26:12-14, “Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous; for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him.”

 

In this season, the world will take note of the bountiful harvest coming to the Lord’s people. The unsaved will envy the works of the Lord who are prospering in the time of famine. They will be drawn to us and made ready to hear the Word of the Lord and thus the harvest will increase again. I understood this morning that we have entered the time of a hundred fold increase in souls coming into the kingdom of God. I am excited! I can envision the outcome and it is awesome! Thank you Lord for a powerful encouraging word. May we be ready and able to move quickly into this season and serve you for the great harvest! Amen and Amen!

 

Shabbat Shalom! Rest and get ready! The time for harvest is now! Amen?
