Mark 4 26: And he said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed upon the ground, 27: and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he knows not how. 28: The earth produces of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. 29: But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.” 30: And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it? 31: It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; 32: yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.”

Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (KJV)

In Genesis – God SPOKE let there be light and light was, He spoke everything first! Jesus framed the world with His words – How are you framing your world?

Proverbs 18:19 – The power of life and death are in the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Power means – HAND, wrists, axle, strength, a sign, time and repetition and support.
( we create with our hands!)

Seeds produce after their own kind. This is true for plants, animals and human beings. It is also true of God’s seed, we were born again of incorruptible seed, the Word of God.

Words are seeds. Most important are the Words of God for they are the seeds of His will and purpose. Just as natural seeds have within themselves the power to reproduce, so the Word of God has power within itself to produce the will of God.

Every promise of God has the power within itself to produce its fulfillment. Every command of God has within it the power to accomplish the command.

Seeds not sown are words unspoken, prayers not prayed, decrees undeclared.

So what are you planting- your garden is your life. Each row contains a different plant. Row of marriage, row of children, row of health, row of finances, row of time with God, row of work, row of outside relationships, etc.

Deut. 30: 19 – I have set before life and death – now choose life so that you and your offspring may live! Your harvest will nourish others!!!!!!!

Find Scriptures that address the row in your garden that needs work. For example –

Life? – Life more abundantly – John 10:10b
Health – by His stripes I am healed – Is. 53:5
Kids – Train up a child in the way Prov. 22:6- or the seed of the righteous shall be delivered (Prov. 11:21)
Marriage – my husband loves me as Christ loves the church and I respect him, You have destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility and made us one. – Ephesians 2:14 and 5:22
Finances – My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory. Phil. 4:19
Life outside – when a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies be at peace with him. Prov. 16:7 and 16:3

So what’s in your garden? – What are you planting with your words? How are you framing YOUR world?

EVERY word is a seed. EVERY act is a seed. Sow kindness – reap kindness

Genesis 8:22 – as long as earth remains there will be seedtime and harvest

Once you plant – do you go out in 2 days or even 30 and dig it up? – NO! that would be foolish – however you begin to speak good words about your situation – sow good things – something happens you don’t like or that is contrary to what you planted and you say – “oh it’s never going to happen” – you just dug up your seed!!!!!!

Do you know there are some plants that you plant now and they do not mature til the following year? (timing is the Lord’s)

Are you guilty of digging up your seed?

How can you did up your seed? – Speaking negative or the opposite of what you want to reap. Remember – all seeds produce harvest – whether good or bad.

What about stones? Are they good for gardens? Keep your gardens free from the stones of offense.

Weeds? Anger, jealousy, envy, unforgiveness, plain sin, wrong attitudes, GOSSIP = SQUASH

Pesticide? =Refusing offense! FAITH – your faith is the substance of what you are believing for and the evidence that it exists!

Malachi 2:3 says that when we continually offer praise that is not our best – that God will prevent our harvest!

Water? Water it with the WORD!!!!!! (where does rain come from ? the earth – as water evaporates, it collects in heavens and when the timing is right, it comes down. Same with praise)

Sun? SONSHINE! Declare, decree, walk in faith

Plant FLOWERS! – words of kindness – words that edify.

Correction ? weed killer. Some of us need to pray for crop failures.

Taking care of a garden is work. We must put down weed barriers – or actively weed. Birds of the air (prince of the air) will drop seeds of weeds – (what you hear, see, etc.) That’s not the only thing birds drop! Enemies will sow weeds on purpose – the devil – wild animals will come and eat your harvest – (fence of protection) kill, steal and destroy……

Put an electrical fence called the Holy Ghost around your garden! Pray in Tongues!!!!

So I ask you WHAT’S IN YOUR GARDEN?????
