Have you planted a garden before? When our son was 5, he really wanted to plant a garden. We found a small area in our side yard that was perfect for a garden. We purchased seeds, dug the dirt and planted carrots, corn, tomatoes, onions and beans. Every day, our son would go out to the garden to see if anything was sprouting.
What would happen if every morning he dug up the seed to see if anything was growing? The seed would die and never produce fruit. He had to have faith that the seed was doing what God created it to do.
God’s Word is like the seed. We must allow it to grow in our hearts longer than a day or two to see fruit. It must be left in the ground (heart) giving it time to germinate and grow to produce what it was meant to be.
Mark tells us there are different stages of growth: “First the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.” (Mark 4:28)
Everything in life needs to be sowed with the Word of God. This is how our lives are transformed, our minds renewed, our bodies healed and the kingdom expanded.
Are you believing for financial breakthrough? Healing? New Job? Stronger Marriage? A spouse? Put the seed of faith to work in your words. Speak words of faith over your situation. God has given us all His promises:
For all the promises of God in him are yes and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us and the promises are activated by the seed of faith
Proverbs 18:20 says: A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Our words are both fruit and seed. We speak from the abundance of our heart (fruit) and every fruit carries a seed.
Acts 17:28 – For in Him We Live, Move and have our Being – This is the scripture Live Move Believe was founded on. We have the promise of God that IN HIM we can Live Move and Be all He wants us to be by Believing what He says about us through His Word planted in our hearts.
