I was so encouraged by something an NCCer emailed me yesterday because it resonated with my spirit. "It seems that God is stirring NCC corporately to think big to get us ready to play a role in what He wants to do in this city as a whole." I believe that.

We had a great men's prayer time this morning and I felt like the Lord gave me a Scripture promise. The promise is Matthew 25:24. I felt like the Lord said we would "harvest where we have not sown and gather where we have not planted." I also felt like the Lord promised John 4:38: "I sent you to reap what you have not worked for." I sense in my spirit that we're on the verge of harvest. And we're going to harvest what others have prayed for and worked for before we even came to this city! That doesn't mean that it's going to be "easy." Harvesting is hard work. But I just sense that what we harvest is going to be what others have planted.

After the Lord put these things on my heart, one of the guys shared Amos 9:13. I love that passage. "The days are coming when the reaper will be overtaken by the one who plows and the planter by the one treading grapes."

God, bring it to pass we pray!
