There are times when I just feel overwhelmed! Economic issues, relationship issues, ministry issues, and just things of everyday life! As these things began to press in on me, God reminds me in prayer that He will go before me and conquer and “drive out those nations before me little by little; I will be unable to destroy them all at once, lest the beast of the field become too numerous for me. God told this very thing to the children of Israel concerning the new land He would conquer for them. See Deuteronomy 7:22. The point is that we want to conquer all of the issues of our lives all at one time! To wait on the Lord and be patient while He is working things out behind the scenes to move us into the promised land we are believing Him for can be very difficult at times! But take heart! Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6. The longer I live, the more I realize that all of our responsibilities, all that God has called us to do, are beyond our own human ability. That is why it is so important to pray, wait, seek, knock, and trust. The Lord promises to bring deliverance to His people.
BECAUSE OUR UNDERSTANDING IS EARTHBOUND….HUMAN TO THE CORE….LIMITED….FINITE….WE OPERATE IN A DIMENTION TOTALLY UNLIKE OUR LORD….WHO KNOWS NO SUCH LIMITATIONS. WE SEE NOW. HE SEES FOREVER.

The Mission for Prayer For The Harvest Ministries is to encourage and assist the body of Christ corporately and in their personal lives to come back to our first love, Jesus Christ, through the teaching of God’s Word and the literal doing of crying out to God in prayer. Psalm 127:1 "Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain."
