PLANTING THE SEED OF THE WORD OF GOD !

PLANTING THE SEED OF THE WORD OF GOD ! A seed does not produce unless you plant it. And The Word of God is incorruptible seed. (1 Peter 1:23). If you had one grain of wheat, you could make biscuits out of it. You could make gravy out of it because it is not enough. But, if you are smart enough to plant it and keep planning the harvest, eventually you could feed the whole world from the wheat that grain produced. It is simple. When you plant it, it produces a harvest. In a similar way, you plant The Word of God in your heart, and it will produce a harvest. So Jesus is saying to the disciples, "If you had faith that you were willing to plant. . . "The problem was that they did not have faith they were willing to plant's. They did not have "faith as a seed." It it is possible to have faith that is not planted or given to use. You could say, "Oh, yes, I believe the Bible is truth. I believe it from cover to cover." Someone might say (Philippians 4:19) says, "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." But do you understand why Paul made that statement ? Well, because the believers in the church of Macedonia were givers ! (Luke 6:38) says, "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. . ." They say, "well That, yes, I know that's in the Bible." "Is it true in your life ?" "Well, no, it's not true in my life." "Why isn't it true in your life ?" "I guess it just isn't God's will." The Word of God is the will of God. It is God's will, but it won't happen in your life just because it's God's will. You will not be healed just because the Bible says, . . . By whose (Jesus) stripes you were healed (1 first Peter 2:24). You will not become prosperous just because the Bible says, . . . Whatsoever he doeth shall prosper (Psalm 1:3). The Word of God must be inside you. You can't take a Bible down to the hospital and lay it on someone to get them healed, although the Bible is full of the Word of God, and it is full of faith. But if you can get that Word of faith inside them, it will manifest itself. The word produces when it is planted in the heart. What I called the law of Genesis. If you get a good understanding of this, it will help you understand God's ways. The law of seed time and harvest is God's method. "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good." (Genesis 1:11--12).
