A great harvest is preceded by a great tearing and pummeling of the ground until it is smooth, soft and ready for planting.  For a great harvest in your life, the soil of your heart must be thoroughly plowed until soft and pliable so that the word of God can be planted and bring forth fruit.  

Prov 20:4  A sluggard does not plow in season; so at harvest time he looks but finds nothing.

Jeremiah 4:3-43 This is what the LORD says to the people of Judah and Jerusalem: “Plow up the hard ground of your hearts! Do not waste your good seed among thorns. 4  O people of Judah and Jerusalem, surrender your pride and power. Change your hearts before the LORD, or my anger will burn like an unquenchable fire because of all your sins.

The only way to have a harvest is to prepare for that harvest by plowing and sowing seed. Are you plowing?… It is interesting that the plowing our hearts is not God’s job, rather hours. Only you can choose to change your mind. Only you can decide to set your thoughts on things above. 

Col 3:1-2 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things

Phil 4:8  8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Purposing to set your mind on our God of underserved favor, kindness and empowerment is one of the greatest ways to get the hard clumps of fear, pride, greed, idolatry and all negativity out of the soil of your heart! 

Rom 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Your thought life will determine your future harvest! In the name of Jesus, I declare over your life, a great time of harvest is coming for you! Your season is coming and it is time to plow!!! May you, in faith, humbly go through the process of your heart being made right before God so that God’s amazing plan can be realized in you and through you! Will you choose to let God's loving thoughts rule your mind today? This is the preparation necessary for your great harvest and it is called...
