Hello, thank you so much for joining me today for Give Him 15.

The title of our post today is,

Harvest in the Middle East.

I am quite certain that God is intent on reaping a great spiritual harvest

in many nations over the next few years.

This has already begun, but will increase exponentially.

I'm also quite certain that Satan is determined to stop this harvest,

in part through ungodly governments.

Leaders in China, Russia, South Korea, Iran, and other nations throughout the earth

are influenced by principalities and powers. As well as wanting to stop the coming harvest,

Satan's kingdom has profound hatred for Israel and America.

This hatred is likely because these two nations have played such significant roles in redeeming the world from Satan's control.

Israel gave the world Yeshua, the Savior, and America was raised up to preach the good news of Christ's salvation and kingdom.

In an attempt to oppose God's great outpouring and harvest, Satan is, among other things, attempting to do the following.

Number one, distract the church from seeing and working toward this harvest season.

And two, create such chaos on earth that it becomes difficult to reach people and nations with the gospel.

We, the church, must make certain that we do not fall prey to the distraction.

If we stay focused, God will deal with number two, making sure the chaos is unsuccessful.

And three, the third goal of the enemy, and one which often goes

undetected, is to foster hatred and animosity between nationalities or people groups,

including in the hearts of Christians.

This too is designed to fight the great end-gathering of souls.
