Dreams of the Harvest: A Mighty Harvest of Souls is About to Take Place! by Darren Canning

Dreams of Salvations

I have had a number of dreams and visions in the last while which suggest to me that we are about to enter into a great "harvest of souls". About three weeks ago I had a dream while I was actually in Texas, near Austin. I was standing at the edge of a great river in the mountains. The waters were rushing dark and cold and, all of a sudden, I saw fish beginning to teem out of the waters of the river. It was a wondrous thing to behold. I started to cry in amazement because I could feel the Holy Spirit upon the waters.

Ezekiel 47:9 says, "Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live." Wherever the presence of God goes, the resurrection power of Jesus Christ begins to enter into dead lives. Waters that were putrid and salty become sweet in the Spirit of God. Those that were marked for the grave and Hell begin to bloom into spirits filled with the presence of God who will live for eternity with Christ their King. (Photo via Pixabay)

Only a few times in my life have I seen waters teeming with fish. I remember once when I was in university studying my master's degree, I went to the ocean to help my friend paint his sailboat. While in the marina painting, a school of mackerel began to swim past our location. There were literally thousands of fish flapping and bubbling out of the water. It was so amazing to watch. I had no idea what I was witnessing, and had to be told, but the memory of that moment lives on within me.

When I was a boy in Labrador, Canada, I went on a fishing expedition into the wilderness with my Cub Scout's unit. There were about 30 or 40 of us boys with our leaders. We went fishing on a lake where only a few people ever seemed to go. Standing at the water's edge, I could literally see hundreds of fish in the water. It was so exciting to see so much life. These are the things you never forget.

The coming revival of Jesus Christ will be much more exciting. Jesus said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men (Matthew 4:19).

I also had a dream recently in which I started to find gemstones all over the floor. Everywhere I looked there were different colored stones. I kept finding more and more. I felt that this was a prophetic image of the coming gathering of souls. First Peter 2:5 says, "You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ."

I believe that these stones that I was finding in my dream were salvations that are about to take place.

God Qualified You Through the Blood of Jesus to be Fishers and Harvesters

Jesus said, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field" (Luke 10:2). I count myself as one who is sold out for the harvest, but the laborers are indeed few. God wants to raise up people who will say yes to the harvest. You don't have to worry about being qualified, because God qualifies you through the Blood of Jesus. Long before man recognized my ministry, I was leading people to Christ. My prayer is that many thousands of wild warriors of Christ will be released in this hour to help bring in the harvest. I am convinced that it will and that I shall see the ingathering of millions of souls into the harvest.

I remember many years ago standing on a porch looking at a farmer's field. No one in those days would have me to preach, but I used to imagine that field filled with thousands of souls, and they were coming to Christ. (Photo via Pixabay)

And since that time I have preached to thousands worldwide. God was faithful to the vision of the harvest that He gave to me. The word of God in my heart says that I will see much more than this. I can see millions of souls in my heart, and I know that I will see many of them touched by the power of God.

I went to see the new movie by Affirm Films called "Risen" with my sons a couple of days ago, starring Joseph Fiennes. This is the story of the resurrection of Jesus Christ as told through the eyes of a Roman Tribune who was investigating the missing corpse. In the end, he was convinced, of course, that Christ rose from the dead – but there is this great scene in the movie where the disciples are waiting for Christ in Galilee and they get hungry, so they get into the boats and move out upon the waters to catch a harvest of fish.

You know the story as well as I do. They fished all night and found nothing. In the morning Christ was standing on the shore and told them to throw the net out onto the other side of the boat. And, of course, so many fish enter into the net the boat almost capsized under the weight of them.

This is what we are about to see. We are about to see a mighty harvest of souls that will fill every church to brimming. In fact, the churches will not be able to hold the souls that are coming. Houses will be filled with them. I have seen and heard that stadiums will be filled. The Lord is releasing an anointing in this hour for stadiums. Many millions will come to the Lord this way.

What I loved about the movie Risen and, indeed, any movie that depicts the disciples of Christ, is how their faces do not stand out any more than any other face. What is wonderful is that we do not know what they looked like. They could have looked like you and me. In fact, they were just like us. They had an encounter with Christ that changed them and they were filled with the Holy Spirit that empowered them to do the extraordinary in their times.

I pray that God will fill us the same way in this hour and a great boldness will come upon us to see the harvest brought in.

This is the Hour of the Coming Waters! How You Can Become a Conduit of It in Your Lifetime by Darren Canning

Ontario, Canada

In a recent dream I was standing on the edge of a great lake in Canada. I was astonished to see that the waters had receded so far that the shoreline had moved by hundreds of feet. I heard somebody in the dream say, "The waters have gone down by 150 feet," and they said this with a lot of fear as if the waters were gone forever.

As I was standing there, I was aware that this fear was in many hearts, so I said to the people near me, "Don't worry, these waters will be replenished. They shall come again."(Photo by Lillis Boyer "Come to the Waters"via elijahshopper.com)

I felt that the number 150 was significant and was somehow pointing to Scripture, so I went to the Bible and read Psalm 150. The passage was quite interesting, and I believe it is a key to the coming rise of the waters of the Spirit.

Psalm 150

Praise the Lord.

Praise God in His sanctuary;
praise Him in His mighty heavens.
Praise Him for His acts of power;
praise Him for His surpassing greatness.
Praise Him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise Him with the harp and lyre,
praise Him with timbrel and dancing,
praise Him with the strings and pipe,
praise Him with the clash of cymbals,
praise Him with resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord.

How to Replenish the Waters in Your Life

If we want the waters to be replenished our focus must be always and only on God. We must not look at the drought that is in the land or the people that are not worshipping Him. We must continue to focus on the God that took out Goliath and the God who split the Red Sea. He is the God that opened up the tomb and raised Jesus from the dead. He is the God that showed up in the upper room and filled the 120 with His holy presence so that they would become witnesses to the ends of the earth.

Our life must be a life filled with praise so that even when dark times are in our land, and even when it seems that the darkness is growing darker, our focus is on God and not the darkness at all. We need to fear and worship God above all things. Our hearts must move toward Him: to the God within the Holy Sanctuary, to the God of the mighty heavens above, to the God who acts with great power and who fears no one. When our meditation turns toward Him, then the problems of this world will fade away.

I was watching a film recently about Josephine Bakhita who was made a saint because of her devotion to Christ and love for people. She was born in the Sudan in 1869 and was captured as a slave. Her masters often beat her. At one point in her life she rarely went without an open wound on her body because of the cruelty of her masters. By the grace of God she made it to Italy, and in 1890 entered a convent where she spent the rest of her life serving the Lord. (Photo via Wikipedia)

She was once asked by a student what she would say to her captors if she had the chance. She replied, "If I were to meet those who kidnapped me, and even those who tortured me, I would kneel and kiss their hands. For, if these things had not happened, I would not have been a Christian and a religious today."

This kind of praise and this kind of heart will never be enslaved in this present darkness. This is the heart of those who have truly overcome in Christ.

You Can Become a Conduit of the Waters in Your Lifetime

We must praise Him, and then we must continue to praise Him, and then we must praise Him some more. You will face many sufferings in this present life, but when you do, then do as the Apostle James said and "Consider it pure joy...whenever you face trials of many kinds" (James 1:2), because this will help you to overcome each trial.

As you practice praise at all times, and not just when it is convenient, the waters will return and many will be touched by God through your life as they were touched by God through Bakhita's life. Even though she was a slave and had every right in the natural to be bitter and hate, she chose the way of love. She became a joy to many people, helping them to reach the place of intimacy with Christ in their own lives. She helped replenish the waters in her own time. We need to be that conduit in ours.

John 7:38 says, "Whoever believes in Me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them." These rivers are accessed through praise. (Photo by Robert Bartow "River of Gold" via elijahshopper.com)

If I have learned anything about these waters in my own life, it is that as I look to my God my situation always changes. No matter what I face and no matter how difficult it seems, when my face turns to my God I am set free.

I remember many times when it felt like I could not make another single step because of the hopelessness in my heart, but when I turned my eyes upon Jesus and looked full into His wonderful face, my own slavery ended. Peace would come sweeping over me and tears would rush down my face as Jesus entered more deeply into my reality.

I have been blessed to have had a ministry that now has touched thousands of lives. It is not me that these people are longing to see, but God. As I point Heavenward toward Him, then He manifests Himself to the people, and the same God who healed and delivered me, delivers and heals them.

As Psalm 150 shows, the key is always praise; and what seems fitting to me is that this is the last Psalm and it points Heavenward, to the eternal sanctuary, to the God of wonders, and to the God of all power. The waters will be replenished as we worship Him in all things.

And it seems certain to me that this is the hour of the coming waters when the great disparity in the earth will be repaired, when the tides of this present darkness will be turned back as the Church rises into its destiny, spreading the love of Christ abroad to many hearts.
