Pastor Vern Peltz
Jun 22, 2025

Pastor Vern Peltz discusses the cycle of growth within individuals, families, and churches. Starting with harvest, where people experience salvation and spiritual growth, then moving to maturing and becoming disciples. Followed by sifting, a process where God separates the unwanted from the desired in our lives, preparing us for the supernatural of harvest. The sifting process involves discerning between God's refining work and demonic attacks on our faith. Through sifting and submission, we can experience transformation and preparation for the next harvest session. The intensity of the sifting process during this season serves to highlight areas in need of refinement and growth, ultimately leading to a deeper connection with God and readiness for the harvest.
