KEY VERSES:

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. (Galatians 6:7-8)

INTRODUCTION

Part One of this bible study introduced the vision of the harvest. Part Two identified the purpose behind the vision. This section, Part Three, deals with "Objectification.” It presents the plan which leads to "Expectation", the fulfillment of the vision.

This free Bible study examines reasons for poor spiritual harvest. It is just as important to know how NOT to do something as it is to know how to do it.

Thomas Edison, a famous inventor in the United States, conducted 1,500 experiments which failed before he discovered electricity. When asked about these experiments he said they were important because "I learned 1,500 ways not to produce electricity." He did not have to waste future time and effort in unproductive methods.

You do not have to experiment with spiritual harvest. God has identified the reasons for poor harvest in His Word. It is important you understand these so you do not waste spiritual effort. That is the subject of this lesson.

The next two chapters concern "Strategies For Harvest", principles which result in effective spiritual harvest. Chapter Eight, "Reaping For Results", identifies the methods and tools for spiritual harvest.
