PLANTING THE SEEDS OF THE INCORRUPTIBLE WORD !

PLANTING THE SEEDS OF THE INCORRUPTIBLE WORD ! Jesus didn't say the tree would obey God, and He did not say it would obey the Holy Spirit. He said it would obey you ! These are the words of Jesus. The apostles, they needed more faith: many believers think they need more prayer; but it is not proud that makes faith work, it's faith that makes prayer work ! Jesus said to them, paraphrase "Fellows, you don't need more faith. You need to understand that faith works like a seed. Unless you plan, it will not produce." (My paraphrase). Faith does not come by asking. Faith comes by hearing the spoken Word of God (Romans 10:17). PROBLEMS OBEY YOU: PLANTING THE SEEDS ! A seed does not produce unless you plan it. If you had one grain of wheat, you couldn't make biscuits out of it. You could make any gravy out of it because it is not enough. But, if you are smart enough to plant it and keep planting the incorruptible seed eventually you will have a harvest, you could feed the world from the week that grain produce. You could get the unsaved saying with the incorruptible seed of the Word of God ! It is simple. When you plant it, it produces a harvest. So Jesus is saying to the disciples, "if you had faith that you were willing to plant. . . Let's say it this way if you had a grain of mustard seed faith that you were willing to plant it will produce a harvest. Now, a mustard seed, cannot be cross pollinated with any other plant in the world: you can call any University and check this out. A mustard plant will be mustard: it is consistently the same. That means our faith in God must be consistently the same ! The problem was that they did not have mustard seed faith they were willing to plant. They did not have "faith as a seed." It is possible to have faith that is not planted or given to us. You could say, "Oh, yes, I believe the Bible is true. 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." (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, yes, I know that's in the Bible." But, is it true in your life ? Well, no, it's not truly my life." "Why isn't it true in your life ? "People will say, I guess it just isn't God's will." The Word of God is the will of God. It is God's will, because it is written; that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. 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 Peter 2:24). You will not become prosperous just because the Bible says. . . Whatsoever he doeth shall prosper (Psalms 1:3). The Word of the incorruptible seed must be inside you. You can't take a Bible down to the hospital and lay it on someone to get the healed, although the Bible is full of the incorruptible seed of the Word of God. But if you can get that incorruptible seed of the word inside them, it will manifest itself. The seed itself is in itself. The Word produces when it is planted in the heart which is the center most part of his or her being.
