The Word-Seed
FOUNDATION STATEMENT: In the Kingdom of God
system the Word-Seed carries the power-potential to produce a harvest. – Luke
8:11
I.
In the Kingdom of God
system the Word is the Seed (Luke 8:11, Mark 4:14)
A. The Bible is not a book
of rules it’s a bag of seed
1.
When
you’re in need in the Kingdom of God system, the first thing you must do is go
to the Word and get the seed
2.
We
have been given all things that pertain unto life and godliness through these
precious seed promises (2 Peter 1:3-4)
a.
Anything
that you would ever need that has to do with zoe or being like God has been
given to you in the form of a seed
1)
You
have healing, financial prosperity, victory, and deliverance in seed form
b.
God
gave you the word-seed and that was grace
1)
Grace
without faith will keep the word in seed form
B.
To
the farmer the seed is absolutely necessary and essential if he desires to see
a harvest
1.
To
the farmer who wants to harvest corn, can he do it without the seed? No.
To the believer who wants to harvest financial prosperity can he do it
with the Word seed? No.
2.
In
the Kingdom of God system you can do nothing without the Word-Seed.
a.
The
Word of God is precious seed-promises that are designed to create faith and
faith will yield the harvest.
II.
The power potential to
produce a harvest lies in the seed (Romans 1:16, Hebrews 4:12)
A. There is an inherent or
built-in ability in a seed to cause itself to come to pass.
1.
Natural
seed carries a power to bring itself to pass; The Word-Seed has the built in
ability to bring itself to pass
a.
The
Word-Seed of God carries the power of God (Romans 1:16, Hebrews 4:12)
1)
The
power to be healed is in that word-seed, the power to be prosperous is in that
word-seed, the power to be victorious is in that word seed
2)
If
a person doesn’t take the seed of the Word to faith, then it can’t become the
salvation
b.
No
Word = No power
B.
Without
word-seed you have no power to produce a harvest
1.
The
power to produce a full harvest of corn lies in the corn seed
a.
The
power to see healing manifest is in the word-seed of healing
b.
Without
tomato seed you have no ability to see a harvest of tomatoes because the power
to see a harvest of tomatoes is in the seed
2.
No
word (seed) = No faith (tree) > No faith (tree) = No fruit (results)
C.
The word is incorruptible
seed. (1 Peter 1:23)
1.
The
word-seed is seed that will not fail under any circumstances when it’s planted
in the ground of the heart
a.
There
is no thing that can keep this word
from coming to pass
1)
Outside
things (problems, sickness, debt, poverty) don’t stop the seed of God’s word
from working, because the seed of God’s word cannot be corrupted
2)
Jeremiah
17:7-8 – This tree is incorruptible; Things around it aren’t effecting
it’s production
b.
There
is no situation where the Word is not enough
1)
James
1 – It’s the perfect law of liberty
2)
John
1, 1 Corinthians 13:8 – It’s God and it never fails
3)
The
Word will not fail to produce faith and faith will not fail to be the victory
2.
Things
that make it impossible for the seed of God’s Word to work
a.
1)
If it’s not in the heart
b.
2)
If you’re not walking in love
III.
We release the power
potential of the Word-seed by sowing it into our hearts
A. That power is released only when that seed is planted
in the ground
1.
When
that word-seed is planted in the heart there is a power release and that word-seed begins to work to bring itself to
pass (First the belief, then the development of it, then the harvest)
a.
There
is healing power in seed-1 Peter 2:24, there is provision power in seed-2
Corinthians 9:8, and there is a release of that power when that word-seed is
planted in the ground of your heart
2.
The
power isn’t released, and the word doesn’t come to pass because you know it in
your head; the power is released and the word comes to pass when it is sown in
your heart
a.
EXAMPLE: The power that the seed
carries is not released when that seed is sitting in the back of the truck, the
power of that seed is released when that seed is planted in the ground. The seed starts becoming when it is
sown.
B.
The
seed has the potential to reach full harvest, but seed that is not planted,
will be seed that does not reach it’s full potential
1.
Seed
that is sitting in the back of a truck is nothing more than seed with untapped
potential
a.
If
a manifestation is what you desire, then I have to tap the potential of this
word-seed by getting this word in my heart
b.
The
way to bring something forth from a place of unseen to a place of seen is to
sow that thing in word-seed form in my heart and that thing will be brought
forth in my life
1)
We
are desiring to bring this thing out of seed from into full manifestation
2.
Untapped
seed potential – Mark 4:35-41
a.
The
potential for them to get to the other side is wrapped up in the word seeds
that Jesus spoke to them
1)
The
biggest hurricane that this planet has ever seen can’t corrupt that word seed
and keep it from coming to pass
b.
They
prayed and asked Jesus to do something that he gave them power to do when he
gave them the word seed
1)
If
he’s given me the seed for it, then I don’t have to pray and ask him to do
something that I have the potential to do through the seed that He has provided
c.
How
is it that you have no faith?
1)
How
is it that you have no tree, when I’ve given you the seed?
C. When that word is in your
heart it is working 24/7 to bring itself to pass (Isaiah 55:11)
1.
Mark
4:27 – The Farmer was sleeping and rising night and day with that seed in
the ground and that seed was working all of the time to manifest itself
a.
As
long as that seed is in the ground, that seed is working 24 hours a day 7 days
a week to bring itself to pass
b.
I
might not even be able to see that it’s working, but I know that it’s working
because the seed is in the ground
