The Great Harvest 

HOW TO FOCUS ON THE HARVEST

Have a proper vision.
Matthew 9:36 – When He saw the crowds, He had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

  • Jesus had a vision for outsiders.

2 Peter 2:8 – For that just man (lot) living among them tortured his righteous soul every day with what he saw and heard of their unlawful and wicked deeds.

Acts 17:16 – While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols.

Have an understanding of the coming verdict.
Matthew 9:37 – The harvest is plentiful.

Joel 3:13 & 14 – Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe, multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision.

Matthew 13:30 – Let both grow together until the harvest.

2 Corinthians 5:11 – Since then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men.

We need a correct view of the workers.
Matthew 9:37 – The workers are few.

  • Few consecrated to the work.
  • Few that are faithful.

The great harvest requires prayer.
Matthew 9:28 – Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labors into His harvest.

James 2:14 – Faith without action is dead.
