The Lord of the Harvest
Luke 10:1-2
“After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He [Yeshua] Himself was about to go.
Then He said to them, ‘The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.’”
Yeshua’s Prayer Burden
Here Yeshua shares with us a prayer burden that is at the center of His heart. Yeshua sees billions of souls in the valley of decision, deciding whether or not they will choose to spend their eternity in God’s Presence or separated from God.
These are souls who are created for Elohim, made in His image and exist because He desires a deep relationship with them.
Unknowingly, those in the valley of decision are weighing Heaven or hell. In this generation it is taboo to speak of Heaven and hell, but I assure you, the realities of Heaven and hell are ever before the Son of God’s eyes.
This awareness gives Him clarity of the stakes and, thus, He travails in intercession for the souls of man and for the disciples, “the laborers”, who our Father in Heaven will send.
Yeshua, our Great Intercessor Who never ceases to pray, invites His followers into an intimate friendship in the place of prayer, entrusting us with two of His burdens.
We join Him in praying for the “great harvest” of souls and for a revival to come to our Land that will turn hearts back to God.
By Yeshua’s side, on our knees, we also join Him in praying that the LORD of the Harvest will equip and send out anointed disciples who have passion to boldly share with others that there is healing and forgiveness of sins in Yeshua.
“How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?And how shall they preach unless they are sent?
As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!’” Romans 10:14-15
Prayer
LORD of the Harvest of souls, we pray for those like the prophet Isaiah, who say, “Here am I, Lord! Send me!” We pray for ones like Samuel who prophesy and not one word falls to the ground.
We pray for those like Ezekiel who are called to be watchmen for Israel and warn people of unrighteousness. We ask You to send out those like John the Baptist who turn hearts to You and prepare the way of the Lord.
Abba, we pray for dreams and heavenly visions to be given to those You will send. Wake up Your people, call them forth and send them out.
Send forth disciples with an anointing to preach Your words, heal the sick, prophesy and bring the Kingdom of God to the cities of the Earth.
Raise up Your disciples who are wholeheartedly consecrated unto You. Cause this generation to fall in love with You God. We pray for ones with burning hearts who desire to lay down their lives for You and follow the Lamb wherever He goes.
