Quickend for Spiritual Labor
Alarmed by all that is seen and
heard, many stand in wonder.
As
clouds of darkness hover over the land,
wickedness reigns.
Shaking off
slumber that once gripped, many rise in
wonder.
Called by His Spirit to wipe
the slumber from their eyes, many
listen.
Reminded that the harvest is
ripe, they look to Him above to fill.
Quickened by His Spirit, they
present themselves as His laborers.
Desiring to be vessels unto honor, they
embrace His conviction.
As repentance
fills minds and hearts, they turn to Him
in humility.
With repentance, a
quickening comes to break up the fallow
ground.
The cross before them,
embraced fully, they lose themselves in
Him.
As growth materializes, a
strong sense of urgency stirs to action.
Losing themselves in Him, spiritual
fruit appears, drawing others.
Looking out over the harvest fields,
they discover places to sow.
With
hearts of faith and expectation, they
sow seeds everywhere.
Quickened by
His Spirit, no longer self-absorbed,
they sow diligently.
As the
Father seeks for those responding, He
finds and rewards.
Adding further
dimensions of grace, He equips for a
greater harvest.
As His righteousness
takes hold, He prepares His fields for
gleaning.
His vessels of honor,
quickened by His Spirit, He sends rain.
As His rain fills the land, His harvest
comes to full maturity in Him.
Fully immersed in His Spirit, His
laborers go forth mightily, reaping.
Quickened by His Spirit, His gifts in
full manifestation, they labor.
Rising in the full light of the gospel,
many are compelled to come in.
As
clouds of darkness dissipate, His Church
stands as a strong tower.
Will you be
one who responds by breaking up your
fallow ground?
Then He said to
His disciples, "The harvest truly is
plentiful, but the laboreres are few.
Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest
to send out laborers into His harvest."
Matthew 9:37

Review
of the book, "Treasures of the Heart."
Ken Birks has
written a masterpiece of superb continuity.
The majestic flow from Poem to Poem contains
powerful prophetic revelation that delights
the heart. I was amazed at how the poems
were Davidic and musical – They flowed like
a delightful streams with heavenly
impartations.
