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

Study and Reflection

1. Reflect on these scriptures: Hag. 2:1-5; Isa. 43:18-19 and

Matt. 9:17. When God promises something, we must not

look back to define what He will do, but instead look forward

to new ways that He will work. Principles are the same —

but not application.

2. The Jewish remnant could not go forward because they

could not see how to replicate the past glories of Solomon’s

temple. So it is with many believers today. The present

working of the church may seem too small or insignificant in

comparison with past moves of God. But scripture is clear

that God is at work and is planning to do far greater things

than we have ever seen (John 14:12). He is preparing a vast

harvest that will stretch and challenge the church in ways

never experienced. Is the church of the past the vehicle God

wants to use to complete the Great Commission?

3. Try to journal where you are right now in your thinking and

practices of doing church. Are you looking back to find your

future? Are you being stretched to go forward into new and

unknown territories? Ask God to help you see His promise

for your future. Are you willing to step out, trusting the Holy

Spirit to guide you to God’s promise?
