"Lord of the Harvest"

In 1982 the Imperials came out with a song called "Lord of the harvest" it was never a popular song but every time it was on the radio my mom would always ask me this one question "Do you know what your name means?" Before the song came out, I can remember she started telling me what my name meant since I was 4. She would always make sure I knew what my name meant "reaper of the harvest" from her baby book. Now every time I hear this song, I think of my name.
   The song states that we bring them home. Yes in a way we do help Abba but He is the one that stirs their hearts. We can't save anyone. It is by the power of the Holy Spirit that convict their hearts, not us! We need to do what the Holy Spirit directs us to do because only He knows what's in their hearts(nefesh). Remember we are the taxi cabs, Abba is the driver. Some people get upset when a spouse, family member, or friend rejects Yeshua. There is no way we can force their nefesh to think otherwise. Something is blocking them from trusting in Abba. Only Abba knows what that is and how to fix it. Sometimes, the only way for them to get to the truth, is for only Yeshua to ask them that question. The best thing we can do is pray for them and listen to what the Holy Spirit wants us to do. We also need to BELIEVE that Abba is in control and that He will take care of them. When we go out and witness to people, we need to listen to the Holy Spirit because He needs to direct us. I don't worry anymore if I did a good job or not, because it is the Holy Spirits job, not mine. On my first time witnessing in downtown Albany, I was giving these special 1,000,000 dollar tracts out. I got them from the way of the master store. The group split up some on one side of the street and some on the other going down Central ave. We had stopped in front of the beauty shop and they went in. I stayed out and gave some to kids outside. Then another kid started coming towards me and reach out his hand, right then the lady behind me asked for one. I knew I had only one left. The kid asked for it first but I knew in my spirit the lady should have had it. I was torn. Kids in poor areas have trust issues. I reached and started to hand the tract to the kid and a gust of wind blew the tract out of my hand and split in two. I was in awe, I knew I only had one left. I picked up the two tracts and handed one to each.
If we give a opportunity for the Holy Spirit to move, He will. It is when we put Abba in a box and only think what He does is only in a box, our faith will suffer. Our faith is the actions of our beliefs. What we believe determines how much faith we will have. We need to listen and trust that Abba will always be in control.

Lord of the Harvest

See the fields, ripe and white as snow
Up from the seeds of faith we planted long ago
So many the hearts in season
With every prayer they've grown
He has made them ready
But we must bring them home

Lord of the harvest place your fire in me
Servant you need now, servant I will be
Give me the eyes of your spirit,
Your heart of compassion to know
Lord of the harvest, show me where to go

Time like a free wind, so quickly slips away
Too soon today's tomorrow, too soon yesterday
So little time for the reaping and the laborers are few
Lift your head to the fields of white
The work that we must do

Lord of the harvest place your fire in me
Servant you need now, servant I will be
Give me the eyes of your spirit,
Your heart of compassion to know
Wherever you may lead me
Lord of the Harvest, Lord of the Harvest I'll Go

Lord of the harvest place your fire in me
Servant you need now, servant I will be
Give me the eyes of your spirit,
Your heart of compassion to know
Wherever you may lead me
Lord of the Harvest, Lord of the Harvest I'll Go
Lord of the Harvest I'll Go
See the fields
