Lord of the Harvest

Lord of the Harvest by: Ken Malone

The least prayed and most neglected prayer is the one in Matthew 9:37-38.  The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few; Pray ye the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers in His harvest.

Many of the other prayers are prayed.  Matthew 6:9-13 is probably the most prayed prayer of the bible.  We refer to it as the “Lord’s Pray.” We pray to Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Nissi and many of the names of the Lord.  But for the most part we have never prayed to: The Lord of Harvest.  No wonder revival, awakening and the salvation of souls is at a snail’s pace.  We have not been a good steward of the prayer in Matthew 9:38.  I am repenting of this neglect and implementing it as a large part of my life.

Think about what would happen if we began to pray this prayer into our neighborhoods, towns, state and nation.  What would happen if we began to pray to the “Lord of the Harvest” to send laborers to our family members?  Dads, moms, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters and friends would see the Lord visit them.  That Holy Spirit’s visit would be from a laborer preaching the gospel of Christ’s kingdom.

The Prodigals Return

We are in the season of the prodigals returning to the Father’s House.  In 2018 Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “The prodigals are weeping, it’s the time of their return.”  As we pray to our “Lord of the Harvest,” ask Him to send laborers into the harvest field of the prodigals.

I strongly believe that the prodigals return, will be the first fruits of awakening.  They’re coming into Father’s House by the millions.

Don’t be as the elder brother, Luke 15:11-32, who despised the return of his wayward brother.  Once these prodigals return, they are no longer prodigals but found by the Lord of the Harvest.

In the mid 90’s, I spoke in a church in Winter Haven FL.  At the end of the service, I was praying for people and prayed for a young lady, in her late teens or early 20’s.  Upon praying for her she was slain in the Holy Spirit and began to break out in Holy laughter.  Holy Spirit worked on this gal for a good 30 minutes.  I went on and prayed for other people.

At the close of the service her mother came up to me and began rebuking me for what I did to her daughter.  She said, “You should not have done that to her.” My response was “I did nothing but pray for her, Holy Spirit did the work.”  She went on, “Well, that was not Holy Spirit that was the satan doing that. She needs to repent.  If you had known the sin she’s been in, you would not have prayed for her.  I said, she didn’t return to you but to our heavenly Father.

This mother was exactly like the elder brother.  The wayward sons and daughters are coming home our Father.  They don’t have to grovel before you to be a part of the restoration of our Lord. Let them in with joy.  Kill the fatted calf, put a ring on their finger and a rob on their back. Listen to the words of the father in Luke 15:24, For my beloved son was once dead, but now he’s alive! Once he was lost, but now he is found!’ And everyone celebrated with overflowing joy.

Dream—The Harvest                                                                                                                 Several years ago I had a dream, that I call “The Harvest,” that is really just beginning to impact my message and ministry.

In this dream I am standing in a two story barn organizing for the harvest.  Inside the barn there are implements for farming however there are only reaping implements.  There are literally thousands of reaping implements in this barn.   Plowing implements and sowing implements cannot be found.  I am working on the reaping implements and preparing them for those who will use them.  Behind the barn there are fields of harvest, as far as the eye can see.  Millions of acres of harvest fields can be seen and these fields are ripe for harvesting.  In the field there are only six laborers.  I thought in the dream, its true what Jesus said, the harvest fields are plenteous and they are ripe unto harvest but where are the workers?

The dream continues…                                                                                                                     As I stand there working on the reaping implements a suddenly takes place, a shift occurs.  A black limousine pulls up in a circular drive in front of the barn.  In the dream I think who is this? What’s going on?  A person gets out comes to me, greets me and gives me a hug as if they had always known me.  Instant connection!  Something in the spirit took place.  The Lord divinely connected me to the heart of this person.  Why was there such an instant connection with a person I had never met?  What’s the answer? “The Harvest.”  I then take this person inside the barn and give them a reaping implement that is fit just for them.  I instruct them on the use of the implement and then send them into the harvest field. 

This person gladly enters into the field they are called too.  They did not reject the reaping implement or their calling to the harvest field.  They entered into that field with passion to see the harvest reaped and brought into the kingdom of God.

This dream lasted most of the night and the scenario the same.  Another black limo pulls up this time a couple gets out, greets me as if we are best of friends, I give them a reaping implement and send them into the field of harvest.  Sometimes a couple, a single person, a family, male and female came into the barn.  People from every nation under the sun came into the barn.    Why were they there?  “The Harvest.”  Each person was entering into their ministry and the destiny the Lord has prepared for them from the dawn of history.  Each person was brought to the barn via a black limousine.  The Lord is saying I am sending the best into this third day harvest.

At the end of the dream I looked into the fields and they were full of laborers.  Thousands of laborers stood in the Lord’s fields of harvest—reaping where they had not sown.

Are you ready?                                                                                                                               It’s time to pray the least prayed prayer of the bible.  Pray to the Lord of the Harvest to send laborers into the harvest.  Results?  Billions will come to the Lord and awakening will be in its fullness.
