Harvest Anointing: Something Incredible is About to Happen
Many blessings to you today in His powerful and awesome name!
If you ever doubt if God and the Word of His power is sufficient to enable you to walk victoriously in this life – if you ever doubt if He'll come through for you with your finances, or in your healing, heartbreak, struggle, challenge, or loss, even for revival, or the manifestation of your vision – consider the following verse:
He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God's] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty Word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high. Hebrews 1:3 AMP
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 NKJV
The Son, Jesus Christ, the Word Made Flesh, who is the radiance and sole expression of the glory of God, has all power, and His power was always manifested by His Word. Whether it was to speak light into the world, hang the stars in the sky, or to calm the winds or raise the dead.
Jesus holds everything together, visible and invisible, by the Word of His power, which would mean that He is not only the Beginning and the End, but He is also the middle! If His mighty Word of power does that for the universe, holding it together, how much more for your life will He uphold, maintain, sustain, guide, and propel your family, your destiny?
Moreover, Peter reveals in 2 Peter 1:3, that His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.
Grace and Favor!
Consider this, He knows you by name; you have grace and favor in His sight! He has fashioned your days, He has purposed for you to be alive and anointed for such a time as this.
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. Isaiah 61:1-3 NKJV
As you read this, we proclaim the favor of the Lord upon you, around you, and always before you! Yes, Lord!
We are living in incredible times, and are seeing the unfolding and manifestation of many prophecies, dreams, and visions, that He may be glorified. As we prepare to start our first healing school this coming weekend, I have been reflecting upon several key words that the Lord has spoken over this ministry, and my wife Janet and me. I clearly recall a vision the Lord gave me in 1989, where I saw massive breakouts of healings that, in turn, caused a mighty breakout of salvations!
In those days, I did not fully understand what I saw, because the anointing, divine healing, even receiving a vision – these things were new to me. However, over the next five years the Holy Spirit further etched and expounded on what I saw, and the more I understood, the more my resolve grew to see all that I had seen manifest for His glory.
We began to see the beginning of that vision break out in 1994 with incredible healings in our meetings, miracles, signs, and wonders ever increasing in greater and greater measure. We are so grateful for what He has done, for the ones He healed. I'll never forget watching the legs of a baby straighten right before my eyes! Or how I watched in awe as the Lord completely restored a man's face. Such miracles! I would return to my hotel room weeping both in gratitude for the miracles, and in yearning and intercession to see those still sick healed.
Harvest Anointing
Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. I must work the works of Him who sent me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world." When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. And He said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing. John 9:1-7 NKJV
Now I want you to read the full context of this passage of Scripture, because it's illustrative in the context of understanding the miracle, creative power of God in Christ's workings for pointing the lost to Christ for a great harvest!
I AM
We see in this miracle account that Jesus made clay by mixing His saliva with the dirt on the ground. Then He anointed the blind man's eyes with this poultice of sorts, before instructing the man to go and wash it off at the pool of Siloam (translated, "Sent"). First, the clay is noteworthy because just as Jesus formed the clay from the ground to apply to the man's eyes to create new ones that would see, God through Jesus formed us from the dust of the earth as well. In effect, Jesus was saying by this act, "Listen, I am the Creator of the Universe. I made your eyes in the first place, and because I am Creator, I can fix those eyes!" Then we see Jesus send the man to the pool of Siloam, which is illustrative of salvation! The man went and washed at the pool, was healed, and later we see him fairly teaching the Pharisees about Jesus (to their utmost dismay), as He shares his testimony over and over in answer to their questions.
So what's so significant about this pool that Jesus would send the blind man into it? It became a pool in the first place because hundreds of years before, King Hezekiah wanted it dug within the walls of Jerusalem because of an impending attack. He wanted to ensure that he and his people had enough provision of water, which would be vital for their survival (see 2 Kings 20:20) – it would also deprive the enemy of it. So its intent in the beginning was to quench the thirst of the people should their supply be cut off. He dug a pool and then stopped up the water in the Upper Gihon and diverted it via an underground conduit or tunnel into the city. These flowing waters ran quietly and unseen.
It was also from Siloam that water was brought in a golden vessel to the Temple in a Water Pouring Ceremony during the Feast of Tabernacles (the harvest festival). The water commemorated the water smitten from the rock by Moses at Sinai (see Exodus 17:1-7) for the thirsty Israelites. Jesus probably pointed to the pool when He stood in the Temple on that last day of the Feast while He cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water" (John 7:37-38 NKJV).
Jesus sent the blind man to that very same pool to wash. Are you getting the picture here? After he washed, the blind man saw! It wasn't so much that he could see in the natural as he could see deity, God the Creator. What happened in this harvest? The veil fell from his heart and he instantly stood in bold defense of the One who had healed him.
This quiet-flowing, endless stream of water is not unlike the ceaseless oil that flows from the two olive trees' branches into the lampstands (see Zechariah 4). Remember in the Temple near the pool of Siloam when Jesus said, "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water"? The living water is the Holy Spirit.
How would you like rivers, ceaseless rivers of living water flowing out of your heart? How would like the eyes of the blind to open, the ears of the deaf to be unstopped, the lame to leap like a deer, the tongue of the mute to sing? How would you like to see streams in the desert, waters burst forth in the wilderness, the parched ground become a pool and the thirsty land springs of water? (see Isaiah 35:5-7). How would you like to operate in that miracle harvest flow and say to that blind man yourself, "You're healed, go and wash now in that pool of salvation, in that pool of living water, that you too might know that endless flow of Living Water!"
This miracle harvest flow is for you, today. It's a highway that you have access to because of Jesus. It's raised ground and the way. The people walking in it will be righteous and it will be the way for the weak, the blind, the lame, and the lost as God leads and saves!
A highway shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, shall not go astray. No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it; it shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk there, and the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. Isaiah 35:8-10 NKJV
Purity releases unrestricted power for harvest. Pure rivers flow out of the Righteous Ones. The Blood of Christ purifies, washes, and cleanses you. The Blood is in that pool of Siloam – there was a fountain there...a fountain of His Blood that is the ransom of the Lord. By way of the highway of the harvest miracle flow, the way will be plain and straight, clear enough that no one can mistake it for anything other than it is: the way unto salvation. Jesus said that those who would receive the disciples would receive Him.
Paul said, "For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the Word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the Word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe" (1 Thessalonians 2:13, NKJV).
Do you want to see revival and harvest? Why not in your city? Let the ransomed of the Lord come back to Zion! Signs, wonders, and miracles flowing from the Word will draw people to the highway. They can't miss it! Signs, wonders, and miracles will release the ransomed of the Lord. "Now these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power, and by Your strong hand" (Nehemiah 1:10, NKJV). The ransom comes about by miraculous liberation and it speaks of God's desire to set people free. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed. No more sighing! Victory!
Christ's workings in and through us becomes more real than our circumstances. Christ's workings are for the Body of Christ! God wants to bear witness, to attest who Jesus is with signs, wonders, miracles, and grace gifts "according to His will" (see Hebrews 2:4). God wills all of that! Not in Word only, but in demonstration (see 1 Corinthians 2:4)!
That highway is accessible to us to demonstrate the Gospel of power. He's turning up the current of His power so that there will be no darkness in you, so that His oil will make your face glisten (see Psalm 104:15), so that people won't miss that highway! Pray for a mantle that will absorb the works and expressions of Christ in you so that people will be compelled to ask, "Where did you get those things and this wisdom that these mighty works are done?" (see Mark 6:2).
Your life can be a display of the mighty works of God, a display of rivers of revelation, wisdom, and healing for harvest. God wants you to go after the anointing of His power, not only for healings, but for signs and wonders too! The release of Christ's workings empowers you for harvest. Call for the lightnings of God when you pray and see satan fall like lightning as God dethrones principalities.
Something Incredible is About to Happen...
All this I share with you today because I feel strongly in my spirit that we are in a breakthrough moment in which we will all see a greater release and activation of the giftings of the precious Holy Spirit in the areas of healing and deliverance. Which will mean, according to the vision, a tremendous breakout of salvations!
Let's go after the anointing of His power, of Christ, the sustaining force of the cosmos Himself, for healings, signs, and wonders, for a release and activation of the Word's power to empower us for harvest!
