The late prophet Bob Jones prophesied in 1975 about a coming one-billion soul harvest. He said there would be an abiding glory that would come to the church and never leave—a kind of glory that would bring masses together to worship Jesus. Jones said that stadiums and buildings wouldn’t be big enough to hold the massive amounts of people who will be coming together to see the glory of God. One-billion souls will be saved, youth will pour onto fields, and many will enter into eternal life with the Lord. My friends, God has been raising people up with a fire and burning passion to see the lost come to salvation. Matthew 28:18-20 says: “Then Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’ Amen.”
Are you sold-out for Jesus? We are living in a window of history like no other. Now is the time to lay down those things in your life which have been taking up too much of your time and instead press into Jesus. The Word says that inside of you is a treasure chest filled with hope. Take your eyes off the news, your Facebook feed, what your friends are saying, and feast on the Word of God. What He did for you on the cross is more than enough to be joyful about, and it is more than enough to place your hope. While reading this, if you feel a pull from the Holy Spirit calling you to be one of these people to usher in the billion-soul harvest, then don’t wait another day. This is His harvest; He will guide you and equip you, and all you have to do is press into Him.
When I was 14 years old, I was in prayer when the Lord spoke to me about the billion-soul harvest. At the time the Lord spoke to me about this, I had never heard the prophetic word from Jones. Years went by, and I was working as Daniel Kolenda’s assistant at Christ for all Nations. Lou Engle was preaching at an event when he brought up the prophecy and said some in this room are called to be a part of it. I went up to Engle after he was finished preaching, and I told him what the Lord had spoken to me years earlier. Not long after the event, Kingdom Encounters International was birthed.
At the time I am writing this, we have seen over two hundred and fifty thousand people give their lives to Jesus. The Lord spoke to me and said this year, 2021, we will see one million people enter the kingdom of God through the ministry’s crusades. John 4:37 says, “For in this is the saying true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.'” Some of you are called to go, to go out into the nations willing to lay it all down for the sake of the gospel. Some of you are called to sow; your reward will be just the same. Both are important. Ask the Lord which of these you are called to today. Let us not wait another day because there is a lost and dying world out there that is longing for the good news of Jesus. He was tortured and flogged. His beard was ripped out, and His blood was shed for all. Don’t sit back and wait for others to arise, listen to this episode of Awaken the Wonder on the Charisma Podcast Network to find out how you can reach people wherever you are. {eoa}
