Encounter Night
Pastor Joseph Purcell
God is going to pour out a harvest in your life that you never seen before.
He has a harvest of abundance for us in this year. It does not matter how the start of 2019 might look like. We will look back and rejoice of His goodness in our lives.
Joel 2:23-24
Be glad then, you children of Zion,
And rejoice in the Lord your God;
For He has given you the former rain faithfully,
And He will cause the rain to come down for you—
The former rain,
And the latter rain in the first month.
The threshing floors shall be full of wheat,
And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.
Be bold to ask God. He is the Source of your abundance.
God loves it when we ask Him for things. He loves it when we come to Him and ask Him. Ask Him for restoration in marriage, financial, career. Ask! God loves to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think!
What are you asking for?
We have a God who is a big God. Nothing is impossible for Him.
Sometimes we go through season in our lives. We look around and we see lack, needs, dryness.
If you are going through the season, do not despair. Your breakthrough is coming❗️
It is not because of anything you have done. Look to the Lord and put our faith in the Lord.
Before there is harvest, there must be first a seed. A seed has to be planted.
When you plant a seed, it cannot help but break forth a harvest
A seed looks like nothing, but this seed is powerful. In this seed, there is power!
When a farmer plant a seed, it may appear like nothing is happening. Under the soil the root is growing.
When you plant the seed it may seems like no harvest. The roots are going down to the heart.
A harvest will come forth!
Psalms 1:1-3
Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
Whatever you put on your hands to, you shall prosper!
You will bring forth fruits!
Began to meditate on it.
He who takes delight!
The more u meditate, the more ur spirit begins to delight
If you know how to worry, u know how to meditate.
When you meditate on the word of God, you take a seeming insignificant promise of God. You begin to meditate about it.
If God before me, who can be against me?
If God before you, who can be against you?
You start to plant His Word in your heart.
Genesis 26:1
Isaac and Abimelech
There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, in Gerar.
Genesis 26:6
So Isaac dwelt in Gerar. (Meditation)
If you are in famine, the best thing you can do is to make your habitation a place of meditation
The seed of His truth into our lives. Sow seeds in the area.
Take the truth of the word of God. Plant those seeds in your heart. Everyday. Everyday. Every morning and every night.
Everyday planting the seeds.
His mother planted the seeds of God. The healing scriptures. She did it everyday. She was healed of asthma!
Genesis 26:12-14
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous; for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him.
Issac sowed in the land of famine. He reaped in the same year a hundredfold! It was the year of famine. How much more this year?
The year of latter rain! The blessings come from above. It is not by what u can do and what is done.
The man began to prosper
And became more prosperous
And continue prospering!
We are going to be so blessed that the people of the world are provoked to jealousy!
It is not luck. It is Jesus!
Don’t give up hope. Even it seems to be lack around us. Your breakthrough is coming. Your victory is been paid for!
For the abundance to be unleashed in your life, don’t give up hope!
There are strongholds you see in your life. This year they will come down!
God spoke to them to match around Jericho 6 times and on 7th day it came down. The ram’s horn is the picture of Jesus’ finished work in our lives!
As they were marching, the priests will blow the ram’s horn everyday. Be reminded of Jesus finished work and victory is done!
As you hear the Word, your miracle will come!
As they were marching, they did not stop on the first day. They marched 1st day, 2nd day, 3rd day…there was no breakthroughs. They continued marching 4th day, 5th day, 6th day…
What if they given up on the 6th day?
On the 7th day the wall came down.
Whatever you are facing today, don’t lose hope! Don’t give up!
All things are possible!
Your breakthrough is coming!
Your victory is coming!
In this year you shall walk in and receive the word of harvest.
Every wall must be down!
Your victory is coming!
You have a God who is victorious! A God who died for you!
