Our Royal Destiny

The Overcomers Are Coming
“Many are called, but few are chosen.” What distinguishes the elect from Christians who never mature? They will have overcome all things and added to their faith the divine attributes spoken of by the apostle. Thousands will break through the suffocating conventions of churchianity, armed with the knowledge of their destiny. They will purify themselves with the cleansing power of the Spirit.

These overcomers have a stupendous destiny. Forged in the fires of Yahweh’s creative energy, they become vessels worthy to contain the fruit of God’s ultimate vintage—His Spirit. And they will walk humbly with their God and with mortal men, for humility is the requirement of those who “go on to perfection.”

These are the elect of God—His princes and future monarchs. To them God will delegate authority during His thousand‑year reign of peace, for they will have proven themselves worthy of this glory and honor. Truly, they have been crowned “with glory and honor,” for “they were redeemed from among men.”

The Plot of a Fantasy Novel

The plan of God reads like the plot of a thousand‑page fantasy novel. Picture it: The Supreme Being, an Invisible Spirit/Force of Love, desires to reproduce Himself. Yet being invisible and immortal, He cannot demonstrate the greatest love—laying down His life for another.

So He creates a prototype vessel of Spirit, then forms Adam from the dust of the earth. Mortal men fall into bondage to an evil adversary until their Creator incarnates Himself in a son of Adam who can die. He suffers death for their ransom, rises again, and delivers them from despair.

He cleans them, trains them, and sets them on the ancient path preserved by prophets and apostles. As they grow, old desires melt away like dirty snowbanks in the afternoon sun. Light begins to shine through them. And one day they hear a knock. They open the door, and their Master comes in and breaks bread with them, granting them His approval and the promise that they will sit with Him on His throne.
That is the destiny of the overcomers. That is The Destiny of the Chosen Ones, the elect.

The Scapegoat Symbol—The Laying on of Hands

Believers “shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover,” said Christ.

In the Aaronic priesthood, the priests laid hands on the head of the goat. This symbolized the transferring of the sins of the people onto the sacrificial goat. One goat was sent out into a forgotten wilderness where God would no longer remember their sins. The other was sacrificed and placed on the altar to be burned as a sacrifice to Yahweh.

That passage is found in Leviticus 16:7–10, 22. It describes the Day of Atonement ritual where two goats were chosen: one sacrificed to the Lord, and the other (the “scapegoat”) symbolically carried the sins of the people into the wilderness. That was under the Old covenant.

Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection bring us the New Covenant where our sins have been forgiven. By believing in His Sacrifice for us, our sins are completely forgotten, removed far away, as though they had never happened. He has transmitted our old sinful self unto Christ by the laying on of hands of the pastor, His death symbolized when we are baptized. Christ is our scapegoat, and with his shed blood, our sins are departed. They are sent far away, never to return. This is the forgiveness that God has given us.

“For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with,[a] that we should no longer be slaves to sin—because anyone who has died has been set free from sin” (Romans 6:6-7).

The Parallel Between Sins Departing and Healing

There is a meaningful correlation between the Old Testament ritual of Aaron laying hands on the scapegoat and the Christian practice of laying hands on the sick. In both instances, the act of laying on of hands represents the departure or removal of something harmful—sins in the case of the scapegoat, and sickness in the case of healing. This parallel invites reflection on Christ’s words: “Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are departed, sent away from you,’ or ‘Your disease is departed, sent away from you’?” Both declarations emphasize the power of faith and the transformative act of laying on of hands, symbolizing the removal of burdens, whether spiritual or physical.  kwh

Asking God in a Proper Manner Brings Power

You may think you’re asking God in prayer simply because you use the word “ask.” I used to believe the same—until I realized I wasn’t truly asking. I was announcing. Saying, “God, I am asking You to heal William,” is a statement, not a question. There’s no humility in a declaration. It’s a proclamation of what I want, not a request for what He wills.

Instead, I should have prayed, “God, would you please heal William? Would you touch him and comfort him? Would you make him whole?” These are questions—humble, heartfelt, and open to God’s response. As I wrote them, I felt my heart soften. Asking invites intimacy. It acknowledges God’s sovereignty and our dependence.

God already knows our needs. He doesn’t require updates or explanations. What He desires is humility—a posture of the heart that seeks Him sincerely. “He is near to the humble,” Scripture reminds us. Asking cultivates that humility. It aligns our hearts with His, drawing us into deeper communion.

Moreover, God delights in being asked. He welcomes the boldness of faith-filled questions. He relishes opportunities to show His love and power. Asking demonstrates trust—it reflects the same faith that flows from His own heart. He tests and proves us, not to shame us, but to transform us. He invites us to challenge Him with His own promises: “Prove me now herewith… if I will not open you the windows of heaven…” (Mal. 3:10). He rises to the occasion, not for our glory, but for the sake of His name.

Asking God questions—when done with reverence—places the outcome in His hands. It’s not manipulation; it’s surrender. He has bound Himself to His word: “Ask, and it shall be given.” “Pray for the sick, and they shall recover.” These are not empty phrases. They are divine assurances. But they begin with a humble spirit that dares to ask: “Father, would you please heal him?”

This kind of prayer doesn’t just seek results—it seeks relationship. It tunes our hearts to His rhythm. It opens us to His will, His timing, and His grace. And it builds faith. As Mark 11:24 declares, “Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”

Faith is the key. Not faith in our words, but faith in His goodness. So let us move from announcements to true asking. Let our prayers be shaped by humility, softened by surrender, and strengthened by faith. God is listening—not to our demands, but to our hearts. And when we ask truly, He answers.     Wayne Hancock

Loving Your Wife Like Christ Loves Us (Conversations with the Seer)

(Formerly in Israel, if a man went to inquire of God, he would say, “Come, let us go to the Seer,” because the prophet of today used to be called a Seer. I Samuel 9:9)

My wife Linda and I were twenty-six. Two years prior, we had sold all that we had and had donated it to a little ministry in the piney woods of East Texas. We now were in northern Mexico being visited by the Seer, the one that sent us here.

My wife and I were having problems I was learning that we men do not naturally have it in us to love our wives properly. We are to love them the same way that Christ loves us, His church. But it takes a supernatural, spiritual connection to Christ, that will enable us to love our wives like that. “Without Him we can do nothing.”

This was the theme of a conversation I had with the Seer. His wisdom and knowledge really helped me. It hurt at first, but joy came with the morning light:

“I get this feeling that she just really doesn’t love me,” I said, head hanging down slightly.

“What makes you say that?” the Seer asked, looking right through me.

“She is like a bobcat, beautiful at first glance but then, when things don’t go her way, she erupts.”

“Is she faithful to you?” the Seer asked.

“Yes.”

“Does she do things for you like clean the house, take care of the children, wash your clothes?”

“Yes, she does, but I am not sure that she is doing it for me.”

“Have you considered that she is doing all those chores without modern appliances? And she keeps house despite the dust and dirt of our current missionary efforts here in the Sierra Madre mountains?”    

“She does all that. She’s very industrious. She is working all the time” I said. Wait a minute. I was building a pretty good case for her through this line of questioning.

The Seer said, “You should be grateful. Many men have lazy wives and would love to have a wife like that. The opposite is true: Many women have lazy husbands and would love to have a husband that works hard. What do you expect from her?”

“As busy as she is, I still feel like I’m #5 on her list.”

“And you want to be number one?

“I want her to look up to me and respect me, especially now that I’ve found the truth and am endeavoring to walk in it.”

“So, she does not sit at your feet gazing longingly into your eyes?”

His tone was not sarcastic; it was piercing. “I am not exactly expecting that. But she is so independent. She doesn’t seek my advice or counsel. She has her own agenda and platform of action,” I said.

The Seer looked at me and smiled. “Don’t you see that she is a direct reflection of how you have been toward Christ? She is inadvertently doing to you the same thing that you are doing toward God.”

“I don’t get it.”

“Listen. You have acted independently, doing things with no regard as to what God’s thoughts would be concerning a matter. Even in your first endeavors to serve God, you strike out on what you think would please Him, but you speak and do whatever pops into your mind.”

“I know. But I’m trying,” I said.

“Did you ever think that your wife just may be trying, too? In her own way. Maybe doing the household chores is the only way she knows how to show her love. Let me ask you a question. How has God treated you lately even though you have not been dependent upon his true direction for your life?

The cold heat of pride began to exude through every pore of my torso. I know my face was red, and my cheeks were beginning to twitch in the steam. “Well, He has been patient with me.” The temperature began to lower a bit.

“Yes, patience is part of His divine nature. And we are to add patience to our faith. Patience is endurance. When we endure the spiritual growing pains in each other, then His Spirit is manifesting Himself in us. Now you are to add patience, and God is using her to show you that you need to add it. For with great mercy and patience he has loved, and, yes, endured your meanderings.  And now He is requiring you to show forth the same degree of patience with her as He has had with you. ”

“That is great, but I can’t do it. I have tried.”

“Of course, you can’t do it. That is the whole point. It will have to be “Christ in you” doing it. That is the great lesson that wives teach husbands, and very few husbands are spiritually attuned to be able to receive it. Husbands get frustrated and throw up their hands, and say, I just can’t live with this woman.”

“I have felt that way, I have to confess,” I said smiling.

The Seer paused. “The revelation is this: you don’t have it in your old nature to love her as you should. It is only the Spirit of God in you that will bring forth the patience and the love to really meet her need. For a wife’s heart is crying out to be loved the way Christ loved all of us. They can tell. That is true love, the melting kind of love that softens the heart.”

“She would love to hear this.”

“She would rather hear your words, born of patience and mercy. And it will come to pass. But it won’t be overnight. Not until “Christ be formed in you.” Not till your thoughts to God and to her are pure. When she feels the purity of your intent, then she will look inside her own heart and see a bit of the vacuum created by not trusting you now in your regenerated state. She will then come to you and long to be close to you, and she will realize that you are her life. All those other things that she had put before you–they will fall away in importance and will be seen a bit trivial when compared to the great love you share.”

Another seeker came to ask questions of the Seer. So, I got up and thanked him and left, thanking God for a revelation that would not really come for another twenty years.   Kenneth Wayne Hancock

The Spiritual Life Cycle

It is all about God’s Law of Harvest and us His Manifested Sons.

To grasp God’s purpose of “bringing many sons unto glory,” we need to understand the spiritual life cycle. Christ compared spiritual growth to a seed: it must die and lose its original form, then absorb water (symbolizing the word), before new life emerges and grows toward the light (Matt. 13:18-30)

This process starts with babes in Christ, to little children in him who do not mature. They do not grow up into him. Or he does not grow up in them. These spiritual children are like natural children–mostly alive to see what they can get from their father. These babes in Christ never grow out of asking God for things for themselves. They rarely glimpse the full vision of what their Father has in mind, not only for them, but also for those who mature and finally produce  100-fold fruitbearing.

For there is a responsibility that we all bear. First, “God has commanded all men everywhere to repent” of their evil ways. Those that do, then, are expected to “study to show [themselves] approved unto God,” servants unto the king who can divide the word of God correctly.

Then prayer enters the growth process. True prayer and study of his word is the watering of the little blade of grass. For the little spiritual child of God cannot grow unless it be watered. But, we have that responsibility!

And this is where the problem lies for most professing Christians. Most are not taught the vision of God reproducing himself from the “seed, the word of God.” they are not given the pure water, the pure teachings, the pure spiritual nutrients that promote growth into a manifested son or daughter of God.

The Same Old Food for His Lambs and Sheep

Most Christians dwell in a dry land, trying to feed their souls on the same spiritual food that was fed to the flock hundreds of years ago. And how can we tell if we are in that situation? “When the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13). If you are not being led into more truth in your Christian walk, then you are not being led by the Spirit of truth. Christ’s words are sharp, cutting right to the heart of the matter.

While in Hawaii, visiting my daughters, I visited a Baptist church on a Sunday morning. It was the same denomination I went to as a child in Texas. The message and the Invitational song were identical to what I experienced as a child–right down to those old solemn lyrics sung at the end, “Just as I am without one plea.” It was sad to me. I so wanted to share with them the new spiritual light that Yah was giving to me. But the pastor took no testimonies from his flock. The pastor prevented the Sower from sowing the Seed, the word of God. The Sower is the Spirit of Christ in us.

And so it goes…. The ancient Hebrew prophets faced the same dilemma. They cried, “Woe unto you shepherds who feed the flock of God with lies…” (Ezk. 34:2). This is why true spiritual growth is slow in the body of Christ.

Many will be content to stay a babe in Christ, but others will break out-of-the-box.

Some will feel a higher calling, one that pulls them upward, one that plants a yearning in their hearts to know the truth. These little children of God will be drawn by the Father, nourished by His teachers and prophets, those who will help them leave the old way station for the next stage of growth.

They will begin a deeper walk and thereby become spiritual young men and women of God. No longer “tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine,” they will have “overcome the wicked one” with all Satan’s deceptions and temptations.

They will mature into spiritual adults, capable of guiding others with his spirit.  Like Paul said to Timothy, “I have fathered you in the gospel.”

Understanding the spiritual life cycle is essential for grasping God’s purpose in revealing His sons and daughters during these latter days. This manifestation brings glory to God through His Spirit working within them. Seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness ensures that we are cared for by Him, resulting in joy, peace, and security.      Kenneth Wayne Hancock {Hey, my brothers and sisters.

Beware of the Prosperity Doctrine

The prosperity doctrine is everywhere. It’s like a spiritual virus floating in the ether. That means that all of us should watch out that we are not infected by this insidious doctrine. Some will say, “Well, I don’t follow those TV evangelists who promote the prosperity doctrine.” That’s a good start. But just examine your prayers. See if they are petitions for material things instead of spiritual things.

God spoke about this false doctrine through the prophets of old. He allowed false teachers to bring in terrible heresies. And one of them is “supposing that gain is godliness,” or the prosperity doctrine.

A good example is found in John 6:26, where Christ tells the people that they are only seeking Him to get material things, things like the earthly bread He provided for them. They did not seek Him because of the spiritual miracles that He had performed. They wanted earthly bread, things for their own earthly life, not spiritual things.

Nothing Has Changed

And so it goes today. The masses have been lured into the prosperity doctrine. This doctrine teaches them to “Get all you can get from God.” Get more money, houses, cars, phones. Get anything in this 3-D material world.

“God wants you to prosper!” the preacher will tell them. All you must do is give to this ministry, and God will pour out a blessing to you one hundredfold! More money than you know what to do with!” This is a perversion of the spiritual law of harvest. The 100-fold that Christ promises in the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13 is spiritual increase, not the earthly increase of things in the third dimension.

These purveyors of material prosperity promote God as a genie, who is there to meet all their wants and needs. They do not exalt God who has a plan for those who trust Him.

They will quote III John 2: “I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health…” The false teachers usually stop there and don’t quote the rest of the passage: “… even as your soul prospers.” The apostle John makes it clear in all his writings that it is the spiritual things and not the material things that we should seek. “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these other things [earthly things] shall be added unto you,” Christ said.

These false shepherds promise prosperity and charitable blessings to the flock yet leave them trapped in their sin. While portraying themselves as benefactors, they funnel millions into their own ministries. They preach abundance but fail to lead the sheep to the cross—where true transformation begins, and the old sinful nature is surrendered in exchange for a life led by the Spirit.

Instead of guiding the flock toward God’s eternal purpose, these shepherds appeal to the carnal instincts like self-gratification and material desire. They encourage the sheep to chase worldly gain, rather than walk the narrow path of truth and glory that leads to redemption.

This teaching reflects what Scripture warns against—“perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, who suppose that gain is godliness” (1 Timothy 6:5-6). It promotes the idea that material wealth is evidence of divine favor, suggesting that if you’re prosperous as a Christian, it’s proof that God is actively blessing your life. Furthermore, it claims that by supporting or participating in their ministry, you too will become wealthy because you’re advancing God’s work. Such a doctrine is deeply misleading and spiritually dangerous. We are clearly instructed to turn away from those who preach it. It is not of God—it is a deception born of darkness.

The prosperity doctrine is insidious and evil, for it seems so right, and yet, it ultimately leads to destruction. “There is a way that seems right unto man, but the end thereof is the way of death.”

The followers of Christ need to take heed because “many have been slain by her.”

What are  your beliefs concerning these sheep in wolves clothing and how they operate in the 21st century? Leave a comment.

[And please forgive me for being “out of touch” lately. I have been dealing with roadblocks in the material world, like building and moving to a new retirement home. No stairs to climb but having trouble finding anything. Hitting a bit of writer’s block for the first time in 28 years. I asked our Savior the other day, “What do you want me to do? Immediately, as fast as a ray of light, this thought crystalized and came back saying, “Tell them who I AM.” I will endeavor to do that.] kwh

Seek First the Kingdom of the Spirit

Chapter 7 of My New Book: The Abiding

Christ urged us to “seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness,” establishing a foundational precept for spiritual maturity and abiding. But what is this Kingdom? And where do we find it?

Scripture reveals that God is Spirit (John 4:24), and so His Kingdom must be spiritual as well—an invisible dimension not of this world, whose god is presently Satan. Thus, the Kingdom of God is not material, nor constrained by our five senses. It is a realm that “cometh not with observation” (Luke 17:20) but is “within you,” dwelling in the sanctum of the heart.

The phrase “Kingdom of God” has been diluted through overuse and denominational variation. While traditionally understood as “God’s Kingdom”—a realm belonging to Him—it can also be understood, linguistically and scripturally, as a kingdom comprised of Spirit. Just as “a wall of stone” describes a wall made of stone, “Kingdom of God” declares a government made of Spirit, led by a sovereign Spirit Being.

We are commanded to seek this unseen kingdom—the invisible government of God. It is not confined to temples or earthly forms of worship. True worship is not performed with buildings, rituals, or material offerings. It is an intimate, unseeable communion between our spirit and the Eternal Creator. “The flesh profits nothing; it is the spirit that gives life” (John 6:63). The essence of abiding lies in this deep spiritual connection.

Only those born from above—born of the Spirit—can perceive and enter this dimension (John 3:3-6). The narrow gate through which we enter is Christ Himself: “I am the door of the sheep… whoever enters through Me shall be saved” (John 10:7-9). This entry point begins the process of purification—where old concepts of God are stripped away, and faith becomes sight in the Spirit.

Prayer becomes our vessel into this kingdom. It reaches beyond the veil, into the heavenly dimension where miracles and spiritual battles unfold. Belief is the transport. We are not guided by sight, but by faith—believing before seeing.

The Kingdom of God is the Kingdom of the Spirit: invisible, yet near; eternal, yet now. The Holy Spirit is the breath of this heavenly domain, and those who seek Yahweh “while He may be found” will discover the gate, the truth, and the life.

Even now, His followers are being tested. “Fiery trials” refine faith, preparing us for entry into the realm that awaits beyond the narrow gate. As the apostle declared: “That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us” (Acts 17:27).

Here is The Abiding’s central message: the transformative power of abiding in Christ as the pathway to spiritual maturity, union, and divine oneness.

Abiding Begins with Seeking

The abiding life begins with an awakened hunger—to seek first the Kingdom not built by hands but drawn from Spirit. Christ’s invitation to abide is not passive—it is a call to pursue, with intensity, the invisible realm where divine communion unfolds. The Kingdom of the Spirit is not a reward for earthly effort, but the spiritual birthplace of all abiding.

The Gate to Oneness

To abide is to pass through Christ—the narrow gate—and dwell in the unseen realm. It is here, in the Kingdom made of Spirit, that the Son draws us into the Father’s presence. We are not spectators in this Kingdom; we are transformed participants, being shaped in the oneness of Yahweh and Christ. The Spirit is both door and dimension.

The Spirit Over Flesh

Abiding requires departure from the visible and tangible. The flesh profits nothing. Material religion cannot usher us in. True abiding is spiritual worship—truthful, unseen, relational. It is the invisible rhythm of connection, where abiding becomes encounter. This Kingdom is not distant—it is within. It is the heart awakened by the Spirit.

Purification in Union

Faith is the chisel that removes false constructs. Belief in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ initiates the inward resurrection—where abiding is made possible by purification. As old leaven is cast out, abiding becomes an active dwelling in the Spirit’s government. Our trials refine us not merely for entrance—but for union.

Finding Him Where He Is

To abide is to seek Yahweh where He may be found—in His own dimension, invisible yet near. Just as John touched, saw, and heard the Word made flesh, we too will know Him. For abiding leads to intimacy. The Son abides in the Father, and those who walk through the gate will abide also. This Kingdom is not merely theological—it is our promised home.

The Longing That Leads to Love—and the King Who Calls

Humanity’s endless quest for love is no accident. Beneath every poem, song, and search for human connection lies a deeper yearning—for God Himself. For “God is love” (I John 4:16). We seek echoes of Him in others, because we were made in His image, wired to respond to His divine presence. The search ends when He is found.

The Hebrew prophets and apostles testified of this love. The Son of God didn’t merely speak of it—He lived it out. By laying down His life for His friends, He offered the greatest love known to mankind (John 15:13). But the Cross was not the end. It was the invitation. For those who believe, Christ calls us to present our lives as living sacrifices (Romans 12:1)—not as martyrs for heaven’s reward, but as vessels of love to a love-starved world.

Dying to Self, Rising in Love

To walk as He walked begins at Calvary. Spiritually joining Him on the cross means our old nature dies with Him: “He that is dead is freed from sin” (Romans 6:7). This rebirth isn’t mere symbolism. It’s a transformation—freedom from the selfish life, entering into resurrection power fueled by agape love. Believing we are buried and raised with Him enables us to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4–5).

Yet many falter. Not because His power is lacking, but because corrupted doctrines and traditions stunt growth. Like children fed on spiritual junk food, many resist the sincere truth of the Word. They cling to old wine, declaring it better—unwilling to taste the new, pure doctrine (Luke 5:39).

The Overcomers…and the Tragedy of the Refusers

Thankfully, some will awaken. God has called a remnant, foreknown and chosen to be conformed to the image of His Son (Romans 8:29). They’ll answer the high calling, decreasing so Christ can increase within them, becoming the vessels through which divine love touches all people.

But not everyone will respond. Scripture warns of those who recoil from the truth, buried in comfort, traditions, or fear. Consider the five foolish virgins—shut out from the wedding feast, unprepared for the Bridegroom (Matthew 25:1–13). Or the servant who hid his talent in the ground, scolded as “slothful and unprofitable” by the returning Master (Matthew 25:26). These are not mere metaphors; they are solemn realities.

Those who reject the call to spiritual growth will not mature into love. They will not reign. They will remain infants—content, perhaps, but barren of the fruit that restores righteousness to a broken world. What Christ seeks is a people who will reflect Him fully, expressing divine love that heals, redeems, and incarnates God once again on earth.

Answering the Highest Call

We are living in the days of the latter rain—His Spirit is being poured out. Will we remain near the nursery, or rise to sit with Him on His throne? (Revelation 3:21). Agape love is the bond of perfectness, the final attribute that completes us in Christ. Those who cultivate it will reign. Those who resist it, according to scripture, will be left behind—not out of spite, but because they rejected the very path that leads to transformation.

I believe that we will grow to be His sons and daughters, His lights shining into the deepest, darkest dungeons of the earth: To “bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound” [Think spiritually. Isaiah 61:1].

Eyes on the Harvest

  1. The Sower’s Longing

God’s eyes are ever on His harvest. This is not simply a season—it is His will unfolding across time. He sows with the end in mind: a mature people, ready to be gathered. Are our eyes aligned with His?

Just as the farmer treasures the yield of his field, God watches with divine patience for the maturity of His Word within hearts. The Bible is a record of this great sowing—the planting of promises, prophecies, and purpose.

Be patient… until it receives the early and latter rain (James 5:7).

2. Maturity Marks the Time

The harvest is not about numbers—it’s about readiness. Maturity. Fruit that bears the nature of the Seed. In this “time of the end,” we are witnessing the crop coming to full ripeness.

The harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels (Matthew 13:39).

These aren’t ominous words. They’re hopeful. They point to transformation—souls shaped in the image of Christ.

3. The First Fruits Rise

Like ears of corn ripening early, some sons and daughters awaken to maturity ahead of the field. These are the first fruits—the ones formed not just to arrive but to labor. To reap.

From the prophets of old to the hundredfold elect of today, these forerunners bear the burden and the glory of calling others in.

They without us should not be made perfect (Hebrews 11:40).

4. The Call to Labor

Christ’s command echoes now more than ever:

Pray ye therefore the Lord… that He would send forth laborers into His harvest (Luke 10:2).

The time of the latter rain is not only about power—it is about purpose. God is activating His mature ones to gather the rest. Millions will come. And the world, weary as it is, will see the glory of ripened faith.

God’s Will Is His Harvest: The Call of the Reapers

Introduction: Aligning with the Father’s Desire
Christ’s spiritual sustenance—His source of strength—is found in doing the will of the Father (John 4:34). This divine will, His ultimate desire, is centered on one crucial purpose: the harvest of souls. He calls us to partake in this sacred labor, drawing from the spiritual seeds sown throughout history.

We, His chosen laborers, are not the first to work the fields—we stand upon the work of the patriarchs, prophets, and apostles. They faithfully scattered Yahweh’s seed, looking toward a promise they would not live to see fulfilled. Now, at the time of the harvest, Christ sends reapers to complete the task. What does it mean to answer that call?

The Father’s Desire: The Time of the Harvest

Christ unveils the essence of the Father’s will—to ensure the final harvest takes place. “Open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest” (John 4:35). The process of sowing and reaping, spoken of throughout scripture, reveals a spiritual truth: each generation lays the foundation for the next.

  • The patriarchs and prophets sowed truth, awaiting the promised redemption.
  • The apostles laid the groundwork, ushering in the New Covenant.

  We stand today as reapers, called to gather the final harvest of souls.

Christ clarifies that reaping is not separate from sowing, but rather a continuation of divine labor. “One sows and another reaps” (John 4:37). Each era has its appointed role. The saints of old, though faithful, did not see the full fruit of their labor. They await a final group—God’s elect, chosen to bring in the harvest of the last days.

End-Time Reapers: A Special Calling

A remarkable aspect of Christ’s teaching is that the Father has already chosen His reapers—those He will guide, protect, and empower. “And this is the will of Him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those He has given me, but raise them up at the last day” (John 6:39-40).

This calling is not random nor based on personal merit—it is an appointment of divine purpose.

  • Reapers are sent by Christ Himself (“I sent you to reap what you have not worked for” – John 4:38).
  • They labor in a darkened world, shining forth as sons and daughters of God.
  • They walk under divine protection, just as the faithful before them were spared from destruction.

Recognizing this calling brings clarity to our prayers. Many ask, What is God’s will for my life?—yet Christ has already answered: Pray that the Lord of the harvest will send more laborers into the fields (Matthew 9:38). This is the heartbeat of Christ’s mission—the urgency behind His ministry.

Answering the Call: The Responsibility of the Chosen

If God has chosen us, then our duty is clear. He has equipped His reapers to walk alongside Him, sharing in His compassionate mission to bring souls into His Kingdom. This is not merely knowledge—it is action.

  • Are we willing to step into the labor set before us?
  • Will we align our prayers with Christ’s own request—that more workers be raised up?
  • Will we allow God to shape us into faithful reapers, prepared for the final harvest?

We now understand His will. The question remains—how will we respond?

Conclusion: A Prayer for Laborers
Now that we know exactly what His will is, we can confidently communicate with Him about His harvest. If we desire answered prayers, we must align with His purpose.

“If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” (1 John 5:14) Lord, raise up Your laborers. Let none be lost. Strengthen the reapers for the fields ahead. May we walk in Your desire, fulfilling Your work, as faithful servants in the greatest harvest of all time.
