JEREMIAH 1:4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
6Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
You have the promises of the last days.
· Acts 2
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
·
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Harvest Community hasn’t risen to the place we are today by taking baby steps and listening to the negative, back-stabbing Pharisee’s.
If it were up to most that like to run their month in this community our church would have closed its doors years ago.
We want to do the IMPOSSIBLE!
There’s NO MOUNTAIN TO HIGH.
NO RIVER TO WIDE.
No Problem to big.
No Situation so corrupt.
No Valley to deep.
No road to winedy.
No Height to lofty.
No Sin to deep.
No water to wet.
No dessert to dry.
No French to fried.
Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
THIS IS MY BODY. I AM WHAT IT SAYS I AM. I HAVE WHAT IT SAID I HAVE. I CAN DO WHAT IT SAYD I CAN DO.
