“What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.” Mark 4:30-32

How very powerful kingdom seeds are when they are planted.  Jesus spoke about the tiniest of seeds, the mustard seed. He told us how something so small grows into a 10-foot plant.  Great things always start small.  

How much do you believe in the seeds of scripture?  When a need is so great, whether in someone else or in me, it can seem hopeless to personalize a few verses in prayer.  What difference will it make when I fail to see immediate results?  Does speaking a few kingdom words over an ocean of need even impact the void?  

My greatest mistake would be to be misled by Earth’s odds.  If I look at the probability of change as I look at filling up a beach ~ one grain of sand at a time ~ of course, I’ll give up.  But that is not what happens when I consistently sow the seeds of heaven.  These agents of the kingdom are energetic and highly effective.  When prompted by the Spirit and then spoken, they begin the change process.  How do I know?  Jesus said, “If you plant it, it will bear fruit.”  Whether I can see the changes is immaterial.  God works in the deep, in the unseen and invisible, and does soul surgery in masterful ways long before human beings can see the fruit.  

What kind of seeds do you need to plant today?  Belief.  Joy.  Peace.  Unity.  Sobriety.  Purity.  Speak God’s Word.  Don’t just read it silently.  When declared, faith is ignited, and spiritual forces are put on notice.  It is the legal equivalent of serving the enemy legal papers.  Oh, the cumulative effect of God’s spoken Word over time. 

I believe, and I have seen my own transformation with my own eyes.  Amen
