The Call: The Resurrection Is Just the Beginning
Strong faith is effective faith. It is faith that affects our circumstances causing it to change according to the Word of God. When we sow the Word of God in specific areas of our life, we will reap a harvest of that seed we sowed. There is a promise of God for every situation that we would face in this life. When we meditate and sow those promises into our hearts, we will reap a harvest of those promises coming to pass in our lives.
When we meditate on the promises of healing, we will reap a harvest of healing.
When we meditate on promises of God’s provision, we will reap a harvest of provision.
When we meditate on the God’s promise for peace, we will reap a harvest of peace.
I encourage you to watch the sermon from yesterday, it will greatly encourage you to sow the promises of God in your life in every area.
The Word of God is alive and active and ready to produce results for anyone who chooses to believe and act on it!
As we learned yesterday, the Word of God is forever settled in heaven, God’s Word never fails, fades or flails, and God’s Word is alive and active.
The Word of God is a sure thing, no matter what comes our way in life, the Word of God is still the same and His promises are still true. We are a church that chooses to believe and act on God’s Word and we see His promises manifest in our lives!
We know from the Word of God that the seed that Jesus is talking about in the parable of the sower is the Word of God.
God's words are life; they bring healing, provision, and light to any situation. In order for the Word of God to produce in our lives, the condition of the soil (our hearts) needs to be open and ready to receive and believe His Words.
2 Chronicles 16:9 says, “For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.”
God is seeking a heart who will believe and hold fast to His Word. That’s when the power of His Word can manifest, and He can show Himself strong in their life.
Hebrews 4:12 says that “the Word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword.”
The power in God’s Word is ready to bring life and overcome any trial we may go through in this life! Let’s be a church whose hearts are quick to believe God’s Word, confess God’s Word, and act on God’s Word. As we do, we know that He will see to it that we walk through every situation victoriously! Let’s be the soil that is quick to believe what God says about us!
We continue our new series on the parable of the sower. There will be times in our lives when we need to change the way we think according to what God values so that we know what is truly valuable in this life. Our hearts are the soil in which God is able to plant His purpose into our hearts, but it is up to us if we open our hearts to hear, believe and receive what God sees in us.
Let’s be the soil that is quick to believe what God says about us!
It’s vital for us to understand that our life is significant to God and that He has invested into us because we are His workmanship to do good things that He has prepared for us (Ephesians 2:10). We get to choose what kind of soil we want to be. Let’s choose to be that good soil that produces fruit for the Kingdom of God!
