seedtime and Harvest !

SEEDTIME and HARVEST: whatever you do will prosper, and no weapon formed against you will prosper. If you give, it will be given unto you, good measures, pressed down, shaken together and running over shall men give unto you. You have favor with God and man. (Psalms 1: 3; Isaiah 54: 17; Luke 6: 38; Acts 2:47). That's what God said about it. But sometimes we say, "Nothing I ever do works. It always blows up in my face." We have said it because we have not understood the power of the words spoken out of our mouth. (Proverbs 6:2) "You are snared with the words of your lips; you are caught by the speech of your mouth." Your words give the devil, demons, and evil spirits authority against you! Do you realize what negative words can do to your inward man? They may not affect anyone else much, but they will affect you. Words spoken are powerful because you release them into your being. You release the ability of God by speaking God's Word in you. God's Word in your mouth produces a force call "Faith" in the human spirit. What is abundantly in your heart (soul) gets back in your mouth, and when it gets in your mouth, it gets abundantly in your heart. It starts a dynamo going, and it generates a spiritual force called faith. Listen to what the Holy Spirit says through Paul: "But the righteousness, which is of faith speaks on this wise, Say not in thine heart, who shall ascend into heaven? That is, to bring Christ down from above; Or who shall descend into the deep? That is, to bring up Christ again from the dead." But what saith it? The Word is near thee, even in thy mouth, and in thine heart; that is, The Word of Faith, which we preach (declare): have you ever said Lord come down and touch him or her, that is to bring Christ down from heaven: verse 6, Or who will descend into the abyss? That is, to bring Christ up from the dead as if we could be saved by our own efforts. But what does it say? The Word God's message in Christ is near you, on your lips and in your heart: that is, The Word the message, the basis an object of faith which we preach, Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe [adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." It's not a matter of confessing all your sins because you cannot remember everything that you've done in your life. It is the confessing of Jesus as Lord that brings right relationship with God. (Hebrews 11:1) says this faith is the substance of things hoped for. It is the evidence of things not seen. So, faith is the evidence of those things that you hope for. That faith comes from God's Word. Faith is both the substance and the evidence of the things desired. What is the substance of what a farmer desires? The only thing he has to start with in the spring of the year is seed. He has the seed of a harvest. The seed is in itself. The ability to reproduce is in that seed. It will produce the same many times more than he plants. God Word--- His promises--- are just as powerful. The Father says, "not one bit of the power has departed from My Word. There is as much power in My Word now as there was the day that I spoke it. My Word is not void of power--- but My people are void of speech. They will not speak what I have said. But they speak what the world says. They speak what the enemy say. Even as there is creative power in My Word to be released when you speak it, there is even also evil power present in the words of the enemy to afflict and oppress everyone who speaks them." We have understood to some degree that there is creative power in God's Word. But I don't think we have ever stopped to think that as surely as there is power in God's Word. There is evil power present in the words of the enemy to afflict an oppress those who speaks them.
