THE PLOWMAN AND THE REAPER

[Moving into the Days of Acceleration]

EXPERIENCE: In February of 2004 the Lord upped His power in my life and moved me into a new place. This took place in my intimacy with Him, inner healing, in my relationships, gifts, ministry and prayer life. It was like He put me in warp drive. I felt the impact of His wind in my sails and a rocket thruster on my tail. This does not mean that the months that followed weren’t without conflict. On the contrary, they were filled with sudden upheaval, but at the same time the momentum to move me in and through it all climaxed into resolutions. After having suffered years and years and years of delay - and all the pain that it brings - it was quite startling to suddenly have delay broken and be moving again.

VISION 7/16/04: I saw this balcony with all these people peering down over the top.

[This was a balcony in heaven and the Cloud of witnesses looking down.]

HEARD: Any day. The plowman and the reaper.

Amos 9:11 NKJV

"On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, And rebuild it as in the days of old;

Amos 9:13 TLB

"The time will come when there will be such abundance of crops that the harvesttime will scarcely end before the farmer starts again to sow another crop, and the terraces of grapes upon the hills of Israel will drip sweet wine!

DAYS OF ACCELERATION

CONFIRMATION 7/17/04: January 28, 2004 the angel Gabriel in the Bible came to earth. Prior to this, Bobby Conner was told to prophesy that he was coming, so he prophesied this for months. When this was fulfilled, Gabriel came to an 11 year old boy and told the boy to give a message to Bobby. Gabriel lifted up his robe to reveal his feet to the boy and he said, "Tell Bobby I have my running shoes on."

When I heard Bobby testify of this, I received this as a confirmation to the huge boost I had received in February when the Lord put me in overdrive. I also realized this was connected to my vision the night before of seeing the cloud of witnesses peering down in anticipation of when the plowman shall overtake the reaper. I knew that God’s time table had moved forward.

BOBBY CONNER QUOTES 7/17/04 Albany, OR

"… Acceleration. It is a time to do what God has put in your hands to do. How are you supposed to do it? With all your might. No hesitation. It’s time to advance. I am releasing right now the spirit of an overcomer. The one that realizes there is a higher destiny than where they are living. They cannot and will not live a life of defeat. God is stirring champions right now. We will be known as the generation that overcomes, or we will be the generation that is overcome…"

EXPERIENCE 7/23/04: I had been earnestly praying over a lady who had been in years of captivity. Right after prayer, I heard the Lord speak to me.

HEARD: Road block. Ousted. Now is the time to get rid of them. In the interest of time, I want to help you. Answered prayer. It’s a go.

INTERP: We have been in a great long delay and the Lord is going to make up for lost time by accelerating everything towards rebuilding and repairing His fallen people, - His tabernacle. [Amos 9:11-15] One acceleration concerns the seeds of prayer being reaped. The seeds of prayer will harvested very quickly.

PARABLE CONFIRMATION 7/24/04: I was working on E2H and suddenly remembered I had forgotten to get meat out of the freezer for lunch. As I thought this, I was doing a search on the word prayer and came across the following 2 entries from 1/5/04!

QUICKENED SIGN: Rapid Delivery Service. Saves you money.

QUICKENED PRAYER: I said, "Lord help me to establish the habit of getting the meat out of the freezer at the same time I fix lunch. That way the next day we will have meat unthawed and ready to cook." This was also quickened to me for "cooking" Ears2Hear … knowing what comes next while I am working on the one prior to it. {end insert}

So the Lord had my attention, since I was just thinking about forgetting to take the meat out of the freezer. Then I realized I did have fresh meat from the store in the fridge, but had forgotten it was going to be a slow simmer kind of meal in the crock pot. Crockpots make any kind of meat tender. It was too late to start the crockpot meal, but I realized if I cooked most of the ingredients on the stove first, then placed it in the crockpot so that it could still simmer for tenderness and this would save some significant time. I realized once again that the Lord was saying to me that He is upping the heat, the power, the time, and putting everything on a faster pace towards accomplishing His goals for His kingdom at this hour.

GRANDMA ANNA SUDDENLY ALLEGORY: I was sitting on a hillside side facing East in northeast Phoenix, Arizona and suddenly the Fountain Hills fountain shot up behind another hill, hundreds of feet in the air. I opened the Word with anointed hands to Ezekiel 47:8 "These waters issue out toward the East country and go down into the desert and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither; for they shall be healed: and everything shall live wither the river cometh."

Then I opened again to Joel 3:18 "A fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord and shall water the valley of (thorns)."

WORD TO PONDER: THE PLOWMAN AND THE REAPER

These are the days of advancement. Within the throngs of delay, when time stood almost still - now there is much work to do to make up for lost time. I have moved forward and sped up events. This is like My train building up steam and building up power. I am building up time’s momentum and this shall bring the transition of change into swifter resolutions. Yes this will require your persistence and tenacity to hang on straight to breakthrough, but this also means that your breakthroughs are within reach if you do not give up and you are willing to press through to resolution.

These are the days of prayer. It is time to adjust your anticipation and your level of expectation. Hopelessness be gone! PRAY about all things. Take authority and use your keys. Yes, these are the days of sudden clashes as events quickly unfold. In these days of acceleration you shall receive sudden interventions and sudden changes.

I will continue to move the momentum of time forward until it reaches full speed. In that day the one who reaps a harvest shall draw near to the one who has just planted the seed. In that day, there will not only be an immediate harvest of answers to prayer, but your life shall be in a continual expectancy for Me to answer even before you call. Beloved, it is time to remove your old mind-sets of hopelessness, despair and passive what’s-the-use mentality. It is time to move you forward so you will learn to press through to resolution. Get your gears oiled, and lined up with My purposes to be ready for Me to move you into place.

Amos 9:11-15 YLT (Young’s Literal Translation)

In that day I raise the tabernacle of David, that is fallen, And I have repaired their breaches, And its ruins I do raise up, And I have built it up as in days of old. So that they possess the remnant of Edom, And all the nations on whom My name is called, An affirmation of Jehovah -- doer of this. Lo, days are coming -- an affirmation of Jehovah, And come nigh hath the ploughman to the reaper, And the treader of grapes to the scatterer of seed, And the mountains have dropped juice, And all the hills do melt.
