THE AGREEMENT FACTOR !

THE AGREEMENT FACTOR ! The words you are speaking, even when you are not confessing the Word of God, should be in agreement with the Word of God. For they are seeds, whether or not you intend to plant them. God's law of seed time and harvest works. It works all the time. We are under God's word system ! You don't just turn it on and turned it off, and say, "I'm saying all of these things, but I'm not really planning seed, I'm just saying this." If you keep saying it, you are planting seeds. Whether it is negative or positive every seed produces after its kind, that is the Genesis law. In fact, it works quicker on the negative side than it does on the positive. Because, many people are well developed in the negative than they are in the positive. James said: "If any man among you seems to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but the deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain." (James 1:26). He or she disease their own heart. He or she is deceiving the soil of his or her heart into believing the things spoken are what he or she wants. You could say, "I want a harvest of wheat," but if you plant corn, you have deceived the soil. The soil will produce corn. It will not produce wheat, because the seed determines the harvest, not the soil. The life is in the seed. Let's look again at what Jesus said in (Mark 4). This puts some balance into corresponding action. "And he (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, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that before corn in the ear." (Mark 4:26-28). STUDY CONTEXT BEFORE ACTION ! Jesus is telling you how the kingdom works. Faith in God has corresponding action, but we need to do find it. When James said, "Faith without works is dead," he was speaking concerning an individual who needed clothes and food. James said, "if you say to him or her, "I have faith to believe that God will supply your need," then your faith is dead," as far as that man a woman is concerned. Corresponding action to that man or woman would have been to give him or her some food and some clothes. It takes religion to mess this up; when God has made it very simple. You might say, "I have faith to believe that God is going to supply all of my needs." But are you a giver ? Do you give out of your need ? This is corresponding actions concerning your need. The Word says, "Give, and it shall be given unto you. . ." Someone may say, "Yes, but you don't understand; I don't have enough to give." If you don't give, you don't have corresponding actions toward what you say you believe. You must give out of your need. You certainly couldn't give as much as you could if you had abundance. But corresponding actions toward that promise would be to give. Little is much, when you give it in faith. Here is an example of this and the corresponding actions behind faith. When Jesus was feeding the multitude, the disciple said, "How can we feed all these people ? We have only five loaves and two fish." Jesus said, "Bring what you have to Me." Jesus took it and blessed it and begin to break it. Then He gave it to the disciples. Have you noticed that after everyone had eaten, there were 12 baskets for left ? Evidently they had 12 baskets they were using to distribute this food. Jesus broke it, laid it in those baskets and told them to feed the multitude. There were 5000 men there, and with the women and children, perhaps 20,000 people in all. They had to have some corresponding action to start out with such little to feed that multitude. They Acted on the Words of Jesus.
