'WORD -THE INCORRUPTIBLE SEED'
The WORD OF GOD is both SEED and WATER
Words spoken in faith put pressure on every circumstances. When a circumstance tries to put pressure on us, we can turn it around by putting pressure on that circumstance with the Word of God.
Mk 11:23, Jesus said: For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
If we believe, doubt not in our hearts, and believe what we are saying, it will come to pass. The Word spoken becomes a seed.
It may be small at first, but it just keeps growing, and it keeps putting pressure against the mountain. That constant pressure of the seed (spoken Word) making its demand will bring the harvest of desired results.
But for many of us, the problem is that we have not really understand fully that the seed is what forces the production. The soil does not decide what to raise or where to put the pressure.
An example: When we planted soy beans, we got more soy beans, one hundred times out a hundred.
The seed, not the soil, determines the production. Now, the soil may determine the amount of production, but the seed determines what will be produced.
So the seed that Jesus is talking about in this kingdom principle is the Word of God. In other words, the Word of Promise, the exceeding great and precious promises, is the seed source!
Rom 10:8, the apostle Paul says, "The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart."
Paul is telling us how to plant God's Word in our hearts, where it will force production.
Then, in Lk 17:5,6, Jesus told two great faith secrets. The disciples had said, "Lord, Increase our faith." Jesus said, "If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you."
The King James Version says it SHOULD obey you. The Greek says it WOULD obey you.
Jesus said faith works like a seed, and the way you plant it is to say it.
Now, can we see the correlation between this and what God was saying through the prophet Isaiah?
"As the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, it forces the earth into production. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth. It becomes the seed for the sower, and bread for the eater."
The seed has Spirit Life in it. And Jesus said, "...man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God" (Lk 4:4).
The Word is a life source. Jesus said, "... the words that I Speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life" (Jn 6:63).
The seed is full of life. It is the Kingdom Seed. It is called the Word of the Kingdom (Matt. 13:19). And Jesus said:
..So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, and he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself.... Mk 4:26-28
That constant pressure of the seed (spoken Word) making its demand will bring the harvest of desired results.
As we speak God's Word, faith comes. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing, and hearing, and hearing the Word of God. That's why it's necessary for us to continue to speak the Word. This principle is so simple but many of us have missed it. All through the Bible we see that the Word of God is the seed. We sow it by speaking it into the heart, which is referred to as the ground or soil in Mk 4:26.
Question: Are we basing our faith on the Word of God and like Peter, who said, "Nevertheless at THY WORD..." (Lk 5:5
The Word says, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony..." (Rev. 12:11).
Beloved, if we will hold fast to God's Word and continue to plant the seed, IT WILL EVENTUALLY CHANGE WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE IN LIFE!
