Sons of Thunder, Part 2

/in /by

Dear brothers and sisters,

Today, once again I want to blast forth this Matthew 9:38 prayer that the Lord of the Harvest  would Ekballo The Sons of Thunder into the earth’s seething legions of the lost. In 2009 I was going into a 40 day fast in Kansas City. Before I entered into the fast I dreamed that my belly was being operated on. I woke with a prayer, “God are you trying to operate on my appetite so that I can be a Daniel that shifts history through prayer and fasting?” In the middle of that fast, a prophetic intercessor, emailed me with a dream. In the dream I was lying down sleeping, and I was fasting. Five angels came into my bedroom and were operating on my belly. Then they took the book of Daniel, lit it on fire, and sealed it into my belly. The scene changed and all these young people were coming to me with t-shirts on and written on those shirts were the words, “Sons of Thunder.” For 10 years now I have been believing that like Daniel, who when he understood that it was the time for the Jewish jailbreak out of Babylon, fasted and prayed to initiate that mass exodus. I have believed that in a kairos time God would lead me to enter into a 40 day fast that would release the new breed of musicians, The Sons of Thunder. Could we be in that fast now?

A couple days ago I received this email from a man following The Jesus Fast and reading my devotionals: Early this week I had a dream and your name (Lou Engle)  appeared in white. Underneath your name, the word “sons” appeared in yellow. Prior to the dream I had no idea that you existed. After researching your name, I found and watched your YouTube video, “Sons of Thunder” and visited your website. I am convinced I am a part of the prophetic sons and daughters you are raising up in prayer, fasting, and intercession.

Amazingly on that very morning prior to receiving this email, for some strange reason, I put on a Sons of Thunder t-shirt. My wife even said, “Why are you wearing that shirt?” I just felt lead. I believe it was a whisper,  a supernatural synchronicity. The prophetic whisper exploded faith in my heart. It’s time to pray for the new breed to clothe themselves with the Sons of Thunder t-shirt mantle, bring the music of heaven down to earth, and reap the harvest of the ages.

Prayer

Lord of the harvest we beg you, ekballo these musician laborers into the mass harvest fields of young people waiting for Your music to transform their lives. God, like David’s music delivered Saul from his demons, loose the sound that will deliver a demonized generation. Bring forth the songs of freedom. God, release heaven’s Woodstock in our day and our age. Release the sound on CNN, and MSNBC and beyond. God, thunder from heaven! AMEN!

Ekballo!

“The number of missionaries on the field depends entirely on the extent to which someone obeys that command (Mt 9:38) and prays out the laborers.” – Andrew Murray

“therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” – Matthew 9:38

I trust that you’ve watched the video for today (See Lou Engles Day 16) We are now launching into praying, what I believe, is the most revolutionary verse in the Bible for the activation of evangelists and missionaries needed to reap the harvest at the end of the age. “The harvest truly is plentiful but the workers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest”. Notice the problem is not the overwhelming harvest. NO! The problem is there are not enough workers to reap the harvest. The solution to the problem; a heaven and earth shaking prayer!

My convictions are simple:

1.) Christ Himself commanded not suggested this prayer;

2.) We have generally neglected this prayer, therefore its potency has never been fully tested;

3.) History depends on its fulfillment. Our neglect of this Prayer was never acceptable, yet it is even less so now.

We prophesied 7 years ago that TheSend at Camping World Stadium would signal a massive shift into a new day of evangelism and missions. If this is true, then this verse stands at the forefront of this new wave of global harvest. In this single scripture, we have been entrusted with fuel for global revival. Matthew 9:38 packs enough dynamite to spark a worldwide reformation of evangelism and missions, mobilize tens of thousands of missionaries and reformers, and literally bring back the King.

I dare say the absence of a final, great harvest is not primarily due to the lack of sincere missionary effort or commitment, but principally to the inconsistency, neglect, and passion with which we have attended to this verse, for it is the Lord of the Harvest’s most elemental harvest strategy. If Andrew Murray is right that the number of missionaries on the field is ENTIRELY DEPENDENT on this prayer then the church worldwide must be praying it day and night incessantly. Let the Church worldwide recognize that heaven’s program for evangelism is a prayer idea launched in red type, an idea whose time has fully come. Beginning today, let all of us who read, make a radical commitment to take up Jesus’ command to urgently pray this verse with faith and passion knowing his word will not return empty but will accomplish the purpose for which it was sent.

Prayer:
Lord of the Harvest, we beg you with thousands around the world to ekballo laborers into the harvest fields of the earth! We cry out for a mass sending. Lord. We are asking for 80 million souls in America and 200 thousand full time missionaries to be hurled forth into the nations. Lord, tattoo this verse into the soul of the church worldwide. Let it be prayed, in every nation, day by day, until it becomes a thundering, pounding sound on the gates of heaven. Let its roar reach to the millions of bored, unemployed potential harvesters standing on the street corners in the eleventh hour of history. Loose dreams and visions on unsuspecting hearts. Invade future harvesters with dreams and burdens. Ekballo them into the harvest field and start with me in Jesus name, Amen.
