It’s not a “harvest” problem, it’s a “worker” problem

When Jesus commissioned the 72 to go proclaim the Kingdom, he made an interesting observation. The harvest is huge. “It’s bigger than you can imagine.”

His command isn’t to go “find” harvest. It’s to pray for more workers.

This isn’t such a hard thing for believers in other countries to understand. In many countries where their faith puts a spotlight on them and targets them, they still live in the power of the Spirit and they keep seeing harvest.

In our nation, it’s a worker problem. It’s getting people who say they believe in the Kingdom to actually get engaged in Kingdom activity. We spend a lot of time and energy arguing about what that “Kingdom activity” is, but we spend far less energy on just acting on behalf of the Kingdom.

It’s not a harvest problem in America. It’s a worker problem.

We need not pray for more converts. We DO need to pray for more believers who will understand the work of the Kingdom.
