The 7th Year: A Season of Completion, New Wine, and Unlimited Expectation
As we approach the new year, the Lord is speaking with clarity and urgency about the season ahead for Harvest Revival Center. In 2025, on October 21st, we will celebrate our 7th anniversary, stepping into a year of profound biblical significance. The number 7 in Scripture carries deep meaning:
Completion and Perfection: God completed creation on the seventh day and declared it good (Genesis 2:2-3).
Rest and Renewal: The Sabbath, the 7th day of the week, is a day of rest and holiness (Exodus 20:8-11).
Spiritual Fulfillment: Joshua and the Israelites marched around Jericho for 7 days, and on the 7th day, God gave them victory (Joshua 6:15-20).
Divine Restoration (Jubilee): Every 7th cycle of 7 years (49 years) led to the Year of Jubilee—a season of freedom, restoration, and debt cancellation (Leviticus 25:8-13).
Harvest: In the 7th year, the land rested, and God’s people trusted Him for provision (Leviticus 25:4-6).
This 7th year represents completion, rest, and preparation for the new beginnings to come. It is a call to remove limitations, walk in surrender, and prepare for the outpouring of new wine and the abundant harvest God has promised.
The 7th Year: Completion and New Beginnings
In prophetic dreams shared with me by multiple intercessors, along with visions and confirmations, the Lord has revealed large, majestic grapes—so abundant that they are carried on a rod. These grapes represent:
Harvest: A time to gather the blessings and souls God has prepared.
Strength: The thick vine symbolizes spiritual maturity and connection to Jesus, the True Vine (John 15:5).
Majesty: The deep, royal purple hue reflects authority, divine blessing, and the life-giving blood of Christ.
“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” – Isaiah 43:19
New Wine: Fresh Anointing and Preparation
The prophetic imagery of new wine reveals a season of transformation, renewal, and abundance:
Pressing and Refinement: Grapes must be crushed to produce wine—symbolizing spiritual preparation and surrender.
Abundance: God’s provision will overflow into every area of our lives, ministries, and communities.
Renewal: Old wineskins—old mindsets, fears, and limitations—must be replaced with fresh vision and surrendered hearts (Mark 2:22).
This new wine will overflow, bringing life, revival, and salvation to families, the community, and beyond.
The Vision of Harvest and Unity
God is calling Harvest Revival Center to move forward in unity and purpose:
Personal Surrender: Let go of distractions, fear, and small expectations. A fully yielded heart will experience His promises.
Corporate Unity: Like soldiers aligned in formation, we must move together in love, purpose, and mission.
“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” – Matthew 9:37-38
Removing Limitations: Stepping Into Promise
As we step into this new season, we declare the removal of limitations:
In our thinking: Believe for greater things.
In our faith: Trust God for the miraculous and abundant provision.
In our mission: Boldly gather the harvest and step into God’s new assignments.
“Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready.” – Revelation 19:7
A Year of Expectation and Harvest
As we step into the new year and look ahead to October 21st, 2025, we do so with hearts full of expectation. This 7th year is a year of:
Completion: Faithfully finishing the work God has entrusted to us.
New Wine: Receiving fresh anointing, renewal, and spiritual breakthroughs.
Harvest: Walking boldly into the promises of souls gathered and blessings released.
The harvest is ready. The new wine is being poured. Let us step together into the fullness of God’s promises, united in faith, surrender, and expectation. The best is yet to come.
