Harvesting for Heaven

Matthew 9:35-38 35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

Matthew 10:32 “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny …. C. Love – Jesus is worth it Matthew 10 37 He who loves father or mother….son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his cross & follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

How does the Kingdom Expand? Inside Me – Quality of Christ-like life Romans 12:1-2 – A living sacrifice: BODY & SOUL Matthew 10 37 – A cross-carrying sacrifice (c/f Isaac) He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it. Inside Me – Quantity of Faithfulness (& fruit) Luke 16:10 - He that is faithful in that which is ... …least is faithful also in much: Gen 22:6 Abe laid the wood on his son – that is what God does. Blow them a kiss from me. Doctor in GZ was saved as continues to read the Bible & pray. Dr in Aus this week said… into palliative care… 5 days later ready to be discharged. God heals. Jimmy – the suffering is worth it. What’s your cross? WHAT’S MY PART IN 2017?

How does the Kingdom Expand? Inside the Church Quality (True discipleship = growing up) Quantity (Growth of the body) Through Preaching, teaching, healing, giving 1 John 2:15-17 (NKJV) 15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. … 17 …; but he who does the will of God abides forever. Don’t be lonely; Get involved! WHAT’S MY PART IN 2017?

How does the Kingdom Expand? All over the world Christians (me) in the world (faithful, diligent, trustworthy, etc) in 7 spheres of influence Christians (me) in leadership Leaders meeting Jesus (through me) WHAT’S MY PART IN 2017?

Luke 2 1 After these things the Lord appointed 70 others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go. 2 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. 3 Go your way; behold, I send you out … 17 Then the 70 returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” … 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”
