The Shaking of Nations - A Harvest Tsunami Is On Its Way....

I exhorted them to understand the truth of the gospel. I felt

empowered, getting more energy as they grew silent and

listened intently. When I finished, the crowd seemed moved

and club members came over to pat me on the back. They

sensed that the message had made an impact. Some of the

crowd came forward to talk with us.

I was simply stunned. It was the first time I had ever spoken to

a large group of non-church listeners, and I was amazed at how

God had used me to touch an unbelieviing crowd. I have never

forgotten the experience, or how it affected me.

The second chapter of Acts records that on the day of

Pentecost, Peter experienced something similar, but with

immensely greater impact. God took a fearful and remorseful

man, who had denied Jesus at the Crucifixion, and transformed

him into a powerful messenger for the Kingdom. What made

the difference? The Pentecostal outpouring of the Holy Spirit

had taken the disciples from fear to boldness. A divine new

dynamic changed their preaching and their witness.

Let me lay out from scripture what I believe the church can

expect from God’s Spirit as we move into the coming harvest.
