This word came on July 8, 2025. I was picking cherries in our orchard, my heart full of gratitude for the amazing harvest. Last year, we harvested no fruit at all. We’d never had such a year. Others in our area experienced the same thing. Our plum tree was the only tree that bore fruit last year, and was full of beautiful plums. We planned to pick them on a certain day. But the night before we planned to harvest, something–animals, I guess–completely stripped the tree. Amazing they could eat so much in one night. So what harvest we did have was stolen. As I picked the cherries this year, God began talking to me, telling me the full harvest in our small orchard is a prophetic sign that THIS is the time for harvest in America. He spoke to me of harvest now coming in the personal lives of His people, in our ministries, in the nation. That many seeds we had planted for others, through helping them and praying for them, would now come to fruition. Most of all, His great harvest of souls for His Kingdom has begun–and will continue in much larger measure. As a result of all He said, as I continued picking cherries, I began calling in the harvest for seeds I have been planting in others’ lives for a long time. God is true to His word. I have been seeing results begin since then.
When I returned to the house that evening, God continued speaking. Some of the things He said about His harvest of souls were surprising and hard for me to record. I had considered this word to be just for me. But this afternoon the Lord has told me to post them–for they are for the benefit of all His people.

“I want you to highlight this. I want you to highlight what happened in your orchard tonight. A sign indeed. Yes, a sign of harvest and breakthrough. A sign of beauty coming. And fullness. And JOY in the harvesting. When you had picked all the cherries you could reach, you stood on a ladder to reach more. You reached as high as you could. You felt My Spirit in the orchard with you. Did you feel Me smile? I, too, love Harvest Time.
“Some of the cherries you threw out. They were not good for eating. The harvester’s discernment. You will need discernment as well with My Harvest. Some may not look good, but they just need a little cleaning. Some truly do need to be thrown out, not fit. Not a good use of your time when there will be so many who are true in their repentance and turning. This surprises you. Even makes you uncomfortable. That you as a worker in My Harvest would think of turning a person away as you would throw out a cherry. There will be those who will be pretenders. Some may even be actively working in the enemy’s camp, seeking to take up your time that could be spent with true new followers of My Way. It is true you turn no one away simply because of how they look. But what you will be judging is the fitness and readiness of their heart to say Yes to Me. I will help you in this. You must ask Me for discernment.
“There were some cherries you could not reach even on the ladder. You plan to go back with Mark, working as a team. So it will be in My Harvest. Some you will harvest alone. With others you will need help.
“Notice, think again on the JOY you felt while harvesting. You did not look at it as work. Only a labor of JOY and anticipation. Of great gratitude in seeing all the seeding come to fruition, and in such a beautiful and bounteous way. So shall it be with My Harvest.
“Ask Me for your harvest, and I shall bring it to you. I shall bring you to them. A grand Dance. I have looked forward to this time on My earth for a long time. It is the season of MY GREATEST DELIGHT. The door to the future of My Kingdom on earth.”

Notes:
Matthew 9:37-38: Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”
Matthew 7:16-20: You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits.
Galatians 6:9: Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Psalm 126:5: Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.
John 4:36: Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.
