Wake up, oh children, and fight the good fight Darkness covers this world to bring on the night My church has been sleeping, their lamps have gone out Instead of faith, I see fear, worry and doubt The fields are white with harvest, whom shall I send? You are more than a servant I call you My friend Become yoked to Me and learn of My ways You’ll find rest for your souls for all of your days The harvest is ready but the workers are few Will you go with Me, can I count on you? Go forth with Me in love, and power will attend Those who were My enemies will become My friend Debbie Furey March 6, 2022 Matthew 11:28–30 – “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Luke 10:1-2 – “After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Luke 10:1–24 Matthew 5:43–48 Ephesians 5:8–21 In Matthew 25 in the parable of the 10 virgins, all of them were found to be sleeping, not just the foolish ones. The difference is, when the cry went out to proclaim that the bridegroom was coming, the wise virgins started to get ready. Obedience to the Lord is part of the difference in being wise or foolish. The other part involves seeking the fire of the Holy Spirit to guide our actions. Jesus told His disciples in Acts chapter 1, not to leave Jerusalem until they received the gift of the Holy Spirit. Only then were they able to move forth in power to bring in the harvest. Ask for the fire of the Holy Spirit to come into your heart to lead and guide you.
