I keep having this crazy dream. I really do not know what to make of it. Is it from God? Or is it just some crazy dream I keep having?
I live on the road that connects the three mortuaries to the main cemetery. Almost daily one or two funerals pass my gate. Weekends there are sometimes as many as ten or twelve funerals walking past my home (they do not drive here). It makes me think about death quite often.
This is a country that is very religious. Some people openly kill for their religions at times. But very few are living An Exchanged Life (Born Again, Spirit filled, Obeying the Scriptures). Really, where I live the harvest is truly plenteous, but the laborers are few.
Sadly, I have known at least three missionaries who came here poor and left as millionaires! This country does not need more rich missionaries, it need poor Filipinos to labor for God. Many missions boards pay huge amounts of money to have their books translated into "Filipino", which no one can read! Don't they know no one can read that? If they can read at all!
Thousands of people die everyday and are bound for hell... Where are the laborers? Stop sending money to the Philippines! Unless you know the person doing work in the Philippines, do not send him money! Give it to your poor neighbor where you live, spend it yourself to help the poor near you to know the Lord!
There are thousands of people dying daily without the Lord, souls lost for eternity. I asked God what I could do about this, and I'm starting to believe God's answered me in this dream.
The Nine38 Prayer!
It goes like this, get a prayer partner... then set your phone to alarm at either 9:38 am or 9:38 pm, or both! Then call your prayer partner and pray!
I have started encouraging people to pray Matthew 9:38. It is what the Messiah said we, disciples, should pray!
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Matthew 9:38 (Nine38)
See that "Ye", in Greek it is subjective (YOU are the subject!) and plural (It means that EVERYONE should pray this prayer). God is speaking directly to YOU in Matthew 9:38, you should be praying this prayer!
At 9:38 in the morning and at 9:38 in the evening, I ask people pray for 9 minutes and 38 seconds, less than 10 minutes - that God will add workers to his harvest fields, and reveal to them what they should do about this! Then continue praying for anything else for the 9:38! Our Nation (and I think the USA also) need more people praying. We need more workers too! Our nation needs prayer too!
The idea is just to get people started praying together, even for less than 10 minutes. Here is an example...
Lord God, the Lord of the harvest, I pray you will send laborers into your harvest of souls! I pray that you will guide and inspire the leaders of our nation to do and make godly choices. I pray for Bro. Lan Tait and his work in the Philippines, may you continue to multiply the work that he is doing worldwide. I pray for... keep praying for a full 9:38 or more!
Feel free to pray as long as you like!
So do you think this dream is from God or is it just a crazy dream?
