The Word is a Seed, when planted in good ground, will supernaturally activate and release resurrection power and produce supernatural results in the physical world.
Most people are dominated by sight rather than by faith. This is the source of the problem when dealing with life’s affairs. FATHER provided us the solution by imparting HIS Words to HIS Holy Son as well as the Apostles who wrote by revelation given to them by The Holy Spirit. What motivated HIM to provide the keys of the Kingdom to us? Love!
Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 4:
26 Jesus also told them this parable: “God’s Kingdom realm is like someone spreading seed on the ground. 27 He goes to bed and gets up, day after day, and the seed sprouts and grows tall, though he knows not how. 28 All by itself it sprouts, and the soil produces a crop; first the green stem, then the head on the stalk, and then the fully developed grain in the head. 29 Then, when the grain is ripe, he immediately puts the sickle to the grain, because harvest time has come.”
How long are you willing to persevere until your seed finally comes forth to harvest time? Days, weeks, months, years? How long did Abraham wait for the son of promise? How long did Mary wait for the promise given by Gabriel to produce full manifestation? Thirty years?
You can see sickness in your body but you can’t physically see healing in your spirit until your spirit overtakes your eyes and you see the solution manifest in the spirit. As you and I plant seed in our hearts (aka soil), a supernatural event takes place. The devil and his minions know this Truth and that is why Jesus explained what happens when He taught concerning the parable of the hearts in the same chapter of Mark:
4:10 Afterward, Jesus’ disciples and those close to him remained behind to ask Jesus about his parables. 11 He said to them, “The privilege of intimately knowing the mystery of God’s Kingdom realm has been granted to you, but not to the others, where everything is revealed in parables.
12 “For even when they see what I do, they will not understand, and when they hear what I say, they will learn nothing, otherwise they would repent and be forgiven.”
13 Then He said to them, “If you don’t understand this parable, how will you understand any parable? 14 Let me explain: The farmer sows the message of the Kingdom. 15 What falls on the beaten path represents those who hear the message, but immediately satan appears and snatches it from their hearts.
This first group had no understanding thus it was easy to snatch the Word from their hearts.
16 And what is sown on gravel represents those who hear the message and receive it joyfully, 17 but because their hearts fail to sink a deep root, they don’t endure for long. For when trouble or persecution comes on account of the message, they immediately wilt and fall away.
This group allowed temptation to become their focus rather than The Word thus they did not give The Word time to “root” in their hearts because they did not water the Word.
18 And what is sown among thorns represents those who hear the message, 19 but they allow the cares of this life and the seduction of wealth and the desires for other things to crowd out and choke the message so that it produces nothing.
This group relied on their physical eyes to guide them and they focused on the seductions of the world.
20 “But what is sown on good soil represents those who open their hearts to receive the message and their lives bear good fruit—some yield a harvest of thirty, sixty, even a hundredfold!”
Only the fourth group was successful in walking by faith and allowing the Seed to grow in their hearts. They were patient in allowing the roots to develop and expand so that there would be a solid foundation for the seed to develop into a fruit-bearing tree. This is such a simple Truth if only we would follow its directives.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 6:
7 For men’s hearts are just like the soil that drinks up the showers which often fall upon it. Some soil will yield crops as God’s blessing upon the field. 8 But if the field continues to produce only thorns and thistles a curse hangs over it and it will be burned.
9 Even though we speak like this, beloved, we are fully convinced that there are more beautiful and excellent things, which flow from your salvation.
10 For God, the Faithful One, is not unfair. How can He forget the beautiful work you have done for Him? He remembers the Love you demonstrate as you continually serve His Beloved ones for the glory of His Name. 11 But we long to see you passionately advance until the end and you find your hope fulfilled. 12 So don’t allow your hearts to grow dull or lose your enthusiasm, but follow the example of those who fully received what God has promised because of their strong faith and patient endurance
As you and I continue to sow The Word in our hearts AND walk in strong faith and patience, we will produce Spiritual fruit in our lives. Our fruit will be determined by the seed we have sown into our hearts. It is essential that we sow in all areas and not be void in any provision deposited within us.
