Episode 107 - laws seed time and harvest
give you all the praise, we magnify you in Jesus' name, amen, amen. I was going to carry on talking about John and a lot of things, but from traveling, just from traveling, the lost, I kept, the Lord kept reminding me of C time of harvest, so I worked on something, and I don't know if I'll do all of it, I actually did the notes and everything, but I wanted to call it the 10 irreversible laws of C time and harvest. Now, I understand that we've been preaching a lot on supernatural harvest, Amos 9, 13. I believe a lot of that's got to do with us connecting what we have to the supernatural, but then the Lord was reminding me just some simple things, you know, like sometimes we like think why is this happening, why is this taking so long, why is this going on, why am I doing that, but then it was like sometimes we'll be like going to a situation, we'll be like it doesn't seem to be working, you know, it's like, and then the Lord will remind me about, but you sow the seed, and I went some places and I watched how we planted seed, it might not be a big garden, sometimes you have a big place to sow, sometimes it's not a big area to sow, but then I've come back and I've watched how God, we were, I did a meeting right before we went to Bolivia with a pastor and we were ministering there when I was finished, I was just sharing things about, you know, like I actually preached three new messages in Spartanburg, South Carolina that I've never preached before, so I actually haven't even preached them here, and I did three new messages there, and then when I was finished the pastor was so touched, and he was like, God spoke to me and told me to partner with you and start sending a thousand dollars a month, and I was like, I thought of myself that we sow seed, we sow seed, but he, it's amazing how that God works in this area, so I want to talk about seed time and harvest, but, and how it is, and how it's woven, and like the framework and or how to activate it, how to increase in every area, I want you to go with me to Genesis chapter 8 and verse 22, I want to go to this verse, but then I want to go into like two different things, maybe laws of laws, these irreversible laws of harvest, but also how to bring in a harvest, and I think those are important things in the sense of people who are faithful at sowing, if you can bring me up the verses, hallelujah. It says, while the earth remains, seed time and harvest, now we're still in a time realm, I understand we're talking about timelessness, amen, but I'm talking about just your day-to-day routine saying, this is the way I am, okay, and I know that there are, the glory is coming towards us, when glory comes towards us, it is, I'm going to say the harvest, anytime glory moves towards us, harvest is accelerated, let me say it that way, when, when glory draws in or glory comes to bearing in a situation, we can see like the multiplying of the loaves and fishes, we see the oil and morsel not running dry, does that make sense? We see Moses living in the glory of God with no food, no water for 40 days, amen, he's totally sustained, so we understand when heaven, when the realms of glory invade us, amen, things are insulated, but while we're in the sense of, in the natural, we don't need to get discouraged just like, and that's what I want you to see you within this, it's it, and I want you to go with me and I want you to look at a seed, number one, I want you to write down, yeah, I do have the notes as well, but a seed can die. One of the first thing is, is in John chapter 12 verse 24, the word of God is as a seed, and many times I think what happens is, letting, you know, sometimes letting something die, releasing something, I notice a lot of times when people hold on to something, amen, that's all it's ever going to be, and it is only when you release the seed and plant it, doesn't matter what you're sowing, you know, I think a lot of times what happens is, we see certain things, but in John 12 it's truly, truly saying unless a grain of wheat falls in the earth and dies, it remains alone, but if it dies, it bears much fruit, so the seed has to die. One of the laws of C. Tom and Ravi says, the seed has to die, it has to be, you have to let go of it, you have to surrender, who's with me, you have to give it to the earth, who's with me, whether it's putting it in the hands of the anointing or where, but it has to go to a place, amen, where at first the seed dies, look at Matthew 13, 23, but the seed falling on good soil refers to someone whose heart and word understands it, so the seed is going to go different places. Now I have to be aware of this when I travel, who must speak into who's listening, is the seed really going to plant it, is it really going to get in there, Galatians 2, 20 says I've been crucified with Christ, there's no longer I that live it but Christ that live it to me, and I do believe this is an important thing to seed, because seed has to die, unless a grain of wheat falls around and dies, it dies alone. Just as seed must die to produce life, so must we die to ourselves to allow God's word to transform us. We have to die to ourselves to allow God's word to transform us, out surrendering to His process creates lasting fruit. Think about some people, I'm not fruitful in my life, I'm not producing much fruit, I'm not getting much done, I'm not accomplishing much, you understand, I have to think about that all the time, but sometimes you go into small situations, big situation you've got to consider, okay, who's listening to me, who's watching, but our surrender to His process creates lasting fruit, our surrender to God's process creates lasting fruit, how we surrender Him. So we've got to reflect on the errors in life where we surrendering, we've got to meditate because we're allowed to transform our mindset. There are some things that has to die, the Lord has talked about that, even I go through like internal spiritual warfare, struggles, different things going on, and then the Lord will say we haven't, sometimes we haven't surrendered in that area, you haven't died in that area, and so, you know, one of the things that this does is it builds humility and emotional resilience, it promotes a growth mindset and embracing transformation, it's like, oh I want to go to the next place but I'm not prepared to die in this place, I want my gift to go further, you know, I was watching a lady the other day, Cindy Jacobs talking about the prophetic, and she was explaining, most people don't understand when we were with C. Peter Wagner, you know, who was a spiritual father many years ago, she was saying how they would like pray, pray, pray, pray, I mean this is like, you know, these guys have been around for a while, and she was talking about it, you would think that all that was a waste of time long ago but she was explaining the aspect of surrender and dying to self and surrender to the will of God because it's only in that place of purity in that place of absolute surrender, there's really even the prophetic or all that we desire to give expression to God come to its fullness, and another thing is seed contains nutrients and vibration, remember Hebrews 4-12 says the word of God is like a seed, and the word of God is alive and active, Hebrews 4-12, you know, I love that scripture, the word of God is living, every seed is living, amen, so there's a vibration, there's, the seed contains nutrients, amen, Isaiah 55 verse 11 says my word will accomplish what I desire to achieve and purpose which I send it, so my word which goes from that will not return to me empty, so we got to also think about it that way when we speak in words like I shared with someone else the day, we were talking to some people and they know that I don't just give prophetic words, just to give prophetic words but I was even sharing with one pastor in Bolivia and some people, if I've said it, it's going to happen and he's like what do you mean? I said because I don't just give prophetic words, I do know there's people that are prophesied over the years and whatever they decide to do with those words it's either going to make something happen or make destruction happen, it's either good or bad and that's not me, I'm delivering the word, Alleluia, but I think that's very important God's word is like seed is inherently alive and powerful, it has potential, potential, it transforms lives when planted and nurtured in faith, so we have to speak God's promises of our life, I think a lot of the times we also the ones who are reciprocal of seed and we need also be very careful what kind of seed we are receiving, we have a lot of mixtures, mixtures what slows people down a lot, so strength and strength and it's positive thinking, there's certain things that give you a certain confidence, so seed requires, number three seed requires water, seed requires water, the Bible talks about in John 738 that there's rivers of living water flowing from within, amen, rivers of living water, you know I'm thinking about Jesus saying give me a drink or come and drink, Isaiah 44 verse 3 says I will pour waters on thirsty lands, Isaiah 44 verse 3 I will pour water on thirsty lands, so water symbolizes the Holy Spirit and nurtures, nurtures the word and enables spiritual growth, that is very important you know because somebody will say well I heard the word but it needs to be watered, amen, it needs to be watered, I think that you know when we have people paying attention, listening, cultivating a lifestyle you know there's certain things that when we create an environment of prayer and worship we invite the Holy Spirit into our decisions, we meditate on what the Holy Spirit's role is as the helper, we keep in mind thank you Holy Spirit you're leading me and guiding me, amen, there are certain things I wrote, I was just trying to analyze it even in the sense of you know because what happens is a peace comes, a clarity comes, enhanced creativity and spiritual vitality comes because we're being watered and suddenly I'm energized, I love when people come to me it doesn't matter whether or not they speak encouraging words to me you know I've had people show up in the strangest places and they'll just look at me like even some great men of God or people who know me and I'll call them, I have one pastor friend every time I call him he just says you're the champion, you're the champion, you're a winner, you are a champion, I don't know how many times he said I'm a champion but I love it because every time he calls me, is that the champion, yes it's the champion, Warren Hunter, I mean maybe it's the way he's addressing me but I love this guy, he's in K-town but he always says you are the champion you know, I'm like yes sir, yes sir you know, yes sir but it's like he said it to me so much, it's like I just love the way, it's like water, amen even to your soul you know to give you an internal fortitude to strengthen you, so number four direction and instruction influence growth, direction and instruction influence growth. Every seed like you get it, like sometimes if you go to the, if I went over to Laosian I've got a tomato seed, a cucumber seed or this seed will say plant it at this time. Do this, you will have your, it'll start growing in four weeks, some might say, six weeks, some might say no you need to do this in like February because it'll take two months before, so they all seem to have a different gestation period, a different period there under the soil and they have different times, they have to be planted to produce what they need to produce, Proverbs chapter three, five through six, says trust in the Lord with all your heart and he will make your path straight, so I don't know, I do know that I have the instructions from there but Psalms 119 verse 105 says your word is a lamp unto my feet and I light unto my path, so I'm going to trust God, okay God, your word is a lamp unto my feet, a lamp unto my path, I don't know how long the path is, the journey takes different time, different distance to get to a certain harvest or to get to a certain place, sometimes I get discouraged because I might think you have all these big dreams and visions and why are they taking so long, but then on the other hand I have to think about it, no we're so in seed, we're trusting the Holy Spirit, it's going to take different times for this to come forth or that to come forth, I really wanted to, you know, talk sometimes, maybe one day just talk about trees, you know, trees in the Bible because when I was first looking at this the Lord reminded me one day and I was just, I just shared this with somebody, I was just like on the phone just like two or three days ago and I called some business person on the phone, I said you know, I was just thinking about the olive tree, they're like the olive, I said yeah think about it before time began, you know God comes along and he plants a garden and God plants an olive tree, who would know that God would know that that olive tree would produce olives, do all the stuff for the tamanachal, the oil, you know, to, for the candlesticks, who would know that God would know that that olive tree would go on such an incredible journey that you would end up with the Garden of Gethsemane and Jesus would come to where the olives are, you know, the olive trees and in the Garden of Gethsemane they had weep and cry, sweat great drops of blood and at the same time the olives have to be crushed to produce oil that is part of the fragrance of Christ and not only that then we get to James chapter five where it says anoint the person with oil and the prayer of faith will heal the sick and you're thinking well where did that oil come from, it came from somebody planting an olive seed called God, who planted that seed and who knew that that olive seed would one day lay hands on the sick and you would use this olive oil as part of healing the sick, you'll anoint them with oil, who would think that this crushed olive could produce an oil that's part of the anointing oil to pray for the sick before time ever began, who would have planted that seed, I think what happens is a lot of times we can see a seed but if we understood the journey of that olive seed to take it all the way through time for all the stuff it did in the tabernacle, all the stuff it did in the years, all the stuff it did in the Gorna Gethsemane, all the fact that we haven't got semi-experience, all the fact that we have to produce, we have to crush that to produce olive oil, to use that in the anointing oil to pray for the sick, who would know it would go from there, who thought about that before time again that that seed would produce all that, I thought of myself well talk about directions, instructions, thinking okay I planted something, I sowed something, you know I touched this person's life, I remember when I was praying for the president of Fiji and I saw his hands were shaking like this and I thought I said okay the Lord said no something has been planted, he knows the tangible presence was there, he might be a president but something happened and what you do is you trust the seed is sowed and you trust that harvest time will come amen and so there's a direction, so this is so important, the other thing is germination as the process of transformation, Philippians 1 6 is, Philippians chapter 1 6 when it comes to the seed there has to be a time of a process of transformation and Philippians 1 6 it says here has began a good work and you will carry it out to completion, wow here has began a good work in you will perfect it another day of Christ, thank you Lord that you began a good work in me, I'm going to trust you, amen, remember St. Corinthians 5 17 says if anyone is in Christ is a new creation, amen has come, so there's a germination is a hidden work of God, germination is a hidden work of God, preparing seeds for visible transformation, so one of the things that we do is especially if we're going to take an action, we celebrate the small signs of progress, celebrate the small signs of progressing life, stay consistent in spiritual disciplines even when the results are immediately or not immediately visible, sometimes we have to stay consistent even if the results are not immediately visible, we trust God's timing in the unseen processes, okay God I know you're working something out, you're working all things out together, so this cultivates patients and long-term perspective it enhances self-awareness and resilience, we enhance self-awareness, okay I need to become aware that God is working, you know that helps so much you only reap what you sow, number six you only reap what you sow, that's another thing people don't understand you only reap what you sow, Galatians 6 17 a man reaps what he sows, do not be deceived, whatever a man sows, you know people don't understand but this is everything, this is sowing something positive, sowing kindness, sowing love, sowing gentleness, I notice that it doesn't know even with my own children I see the results of whether I've sowed irritability, emotional instability, it doesn't matter what we've sown I can tell if that wrong seed gets planted emotionally in the child it doesn't matter what you are as a father you reap the repercussions and you're like sitting there looking at yourself going what did I sow, when did I sow that, was I sown in a time of vulnerability, was I sown it during the time of being wounded, sometimes you're under attack yourself, you're going through stuff yourself and it's at that time you have to be very aware of what you sow, sometimes we think oh we can't react with anger, we can't react with bitterness, we can't react with resentment, we can't react like that because down the road I find out there's always seems to it, you pray that it doesn't land, you are praying that it doesn't have emotional consequences down the road, the Bible says in Isaiah 10 verses 12 if you sow righteousness sow with the view to righteousness, reap in accordance with kindness, break up your fellow ground for it is time to seek the Lord until He comes to reign righteousness on you, to me I have to stop when I've got to think about myself in the long term I was just saying you know I was just thinking about Kenneth Hagin starting Raima when he was like almost 56, 57 years old and you know he started Raima Bible Training Center but think about all the time he had to prepare for that moment you know he passed it several churches couldn't get more than 50 people in the church he even says it himself he said I try to pass the several churches, Kenneth Hagin the man that the biggest ministers in the world Enoch Adeboye, David Oedipo you can name the four five biggest pastors in the world oh yeah we love Kenneth Hings book we read all his water faith books they're all influenced us greatest water faith you know what I mean David Oedipo will give Enoch Adeboye of them if you go to their private offices you'll see all of Kenneth Hagin books in the office yet Kenneth Hagin couldn't get more than 50 people in the church but what did he produce in the time he could have been discouraged over and over and over saying oh it just doesn't work this is not working that's not working but he knew what he was planting prophetically he knew that he kept sowing faith and he didn't give up so we sow in righteousness every seed reproduces of its kind what we plant with this love generosity negativity determines what kind of harvest we get so we want to plant seeds of kindness we want to we want to avoid sowing negativity fear strife that would just happen in this losture how you can see how people would plant seeds of fear to try turn a political outcome or political view we have to continually sow seeds of contention seeds of fear you know so we want to encourage accountability and intentional living intentional living is a very important thing because we want to promote optimism positive relationship we want to sow seeds towards how can I say good habits in the future amen you know my friends used to tease me when I was an old rubbish university I don't even know maybe why that's what I was you know when your mom dies and when your step mom dies and we were in a very disciplined house it's like I we had to learn to do a lot of chores a lot of responsibilities take care of things ourselves I mean there was a lot weighed in the sense but that certain habits when I go to university it's like oh my friends in universal GTs oh you go down the hole and the only guy whose bed was made in room vacuum his bed looked perfect you know the same room was imperfection was mine and even some of my friends today you know 36 37 years off the college like yeah Warren was the clean guy you know like they still remember it order but the thing is it still produces down the road and there's something powerful about creating sowing seeds to develop godly habits that becomes powerful the wrong way you reap and so you reap a different time than when you sow number seven you reap at a different time than what you sow I'm just kind of trying to give these in it like 10 laws of you know but James five seven says be patient brothers says to see how the farmer waits for the precious produce so we wait being patient about it sometimes that part is tough how long is it going to take lord amen ecclesiastes 3-1 says to everything there is a season sowing requires patience amen it requires patience the harvest comes later teaching us to trust God's perfect timing you know I'm like okay God I know this people we sowed I know there's a harvest coming so I reflect on the previous seasons where God's timing was perfected there are times I know I sowed and I know God came through amen so prepare for the harvest how do we prepare for harvest through faithful stewardship we never stop being faithful we practice gratitude in all the small breakthroughs amen so this is so powerful we practice breakthroughs number eight reaping in proportion to what you sow synchronous nine sixes or ever so sparingly we'll also reap sparingly so these are these are laws they're in the scripture doesn't matter if people want to fight about should I tie not tie this that I'm just giving you basic things here that are just facts this is so true Luke chapter 6 verse 38 says give and it will be given unto you give and it will be given a pour out into your lamp it's not and I'm also saying this to our partners I'm saying this to people who watch us these things never fail this is this is scripture this is scripture and what we have to do is you see you can actually take every verse that I'm giving so far in this message and lift it up before the throne of God said God I remind you all these scripture verses I've done it I'm doing it I'm not giving up you know I sometimes I tell my wife ahead of time of things I want to sow I might not but I'll say I need to give that person what I want to you know I want to sow this I want to sow this I'm already thinking of ways to sow ahead of time sometimes just because my heart wants to find a way to be a blessing to different people amen so the measure of generosity determines the measure of return and that's so important the measure of generosity determines the measure of return the measure of generosity set aside resources to sow generously so intentionally I think it's a you know that that I think is a major key even when it comes to first fruits or tidings or offerings so intentionally is like showing really the heartbeat your heartbeat before the throne of God I believe that ways I know that ways on the harvest I know that way so and I've experienced that before when I was in night in Siberia many years ago in the early 90s and gave roozle on my favorite tie that was cost like a hundred some dollars I didn't want to give it to him first I dragged my feet to give it to him by the time I walked to the stage I finally did and when I did God says when you go back to America and that was like going through you know a military coupe in the Russian airport stuck in one slice of brave for twenty-five or whatever but when I got home I had 30 brand new lending sold ties I put all the ties around my head dubbed in Renee we got a couple of work who worked for us they took pictures oh whoa whoa whoa and then I said Lord why did I only get 30 ties I suddenly realized and the Lord said when I told roozle on to give you to give him your favorite tie he said you dragged your feet and he said as long as you dragged your feet the harvest went from a hundred down to 30 so talk about learning the idea of intentional giving of a willy and heart I learned I God told me very clearly why I only sinned and they came they were mailed all the way from London beautiful silk ties came all the way from London someone gave us brand new silk ties and I thought what's up you talk about God telling you your harvest when you get back to America in three days you're gonna have 30 brand new lending sold ties God told me that when I got yeah it was a box with 30 then I had to ask myself a question why was God so focused but I think it was also to teach me something that was the fact that I wasn't 100% willing I do know something we said does it weigh yes God said so you need to remind God God sees you attitude so number nine resurrection is in every seed resurrection is in every seed I'll send you these notes Romans 811 he will give life to your mortal bodies amen so there's resurrection in every seed 1 Corinthians 15 36 says what you sow does not come to life unless it dies 1 Corinthians 15 that which you sow does not come to life unless it dies so there's resurrection in every seed every seed carries resurrection power symbolic of Christ victory over death when we understand that we've died ourselves we surrender ourselves we give our all we're intentional who's with me come on there's no selfishness behind it I'm not trying to hold on to something amen holding that that's not that's not that's not it's not going to go through the process so declare resurrection life over every situation focus on the potential for renewal in every setback celebrate Christ's victory in your daily walks you're going to take actions amen thank you God thank you God and so this is so powerful number 10 atmosphere influences growth atmosphere Psalms 22 verse 3 yet you are holy oh you are enthroned upon the psalms 22 God inhabits the praises of his people what kind of atmosphere I think what kind of atmosphere that's why many times I tell people to wrap your seed with the love of God amen what kind of atmosphere is the cheerful atmosphere is their praise and worship atmosphere you know as soon as I'll tell people bring your offering as worship bring your seed as a form of worship I love Cornelius's alms and he's giving came up as a memorial before God and it caused a down pouring of the Holy Spirit on his whole family in Acts chapter 16 25 and 26 the Bible says Paul and Silas prayed and the prison shook well it was atmosphere atmosphere sometimes it says what are we surrounding when you give are we walking away going oh yeah I praise you Lord hallelujah thank you God I've released that seed into your hand I worship you with that offering I thank you God you faithful to keep you delight in the prosperity of the servants the blessings of the Lord make it rich in your ad no sorrow you soon we give it will be given an ass pressed down shaking together running over I magnify you Lord you said I bring you in remembrance of your word amen my heart's right and that makes a big difference amen when we look at the different things and we're trying to declare certain things that are happening hallelujah so thank you Jesus amen so the other thing is we we can see what's happening yet so I want to talk about this there there are several things that bring in a harvest to seven steps to bring in a harvest amen seven steps to bring in a harvest amen which is so powerful so I want you to see this amen seven steps to bring in a harvest number one cultivation of the heart cultivation of the heart amen so this is prepare your heart like soil to receive God's word Ezekiel 36 26 amen we prepare our hearts we prepare our hearts I think many times when we go places and we hear something we don't get everything we need to get out of it you know I mean there's people who just go this people who go to church this morning just to do their religious duty but their hearts are not prepared to receive really from God it's just to pay kind of a religious I'm religious and you'll ask them what the pastor preached three weeks later and they can't remember a thing he said something about love something about life it's wonderful yeah last Sunday something about that yeah you don't know you're wondering why nothing was produced they didn't prepare their hearts so number one cultivation of the heart there's seven steps to bring in a harvest number two irrigation allow the Holy Spirit to water and refresh you like I said I'm just bringing that out at a different angle amen but we need to stay in that place amen number three fertilizing through the word of faith we need fertilization sometimes what happens is I have my plants then I was just finishing my life that day you know they've been going you know I mean I was gone sometimes I get water I said but you know they haven't had plain food for a while though maybe they need some fertilization some of them need a little bit of plain food something maybe they've been in the same soil for a long time does that make sense and so sometimes you need fertilization and that is really the word of faith does that because if you say to the amount of be removed and be cast in your heart and you don't doubt amen so there's something about the word of faith faithful words nourish the seeds you plant faith filled words nourish the seeds you plant faith I don't talk negative over my seed I don't talk negative over my harvest amen don't doubt in your heart you're believing so faith filled words nourish the seed you plant avoid negativity speaking life amen make declarations thank you lord I planted that seed there are words that I've given to people a long time ago and sometimes I remind lord when I gave that word remove that guy prayed for remember that evangelist they are different key ministers around the world as lives are changed by coming to our revivals some of them almost 30 years ago they might not remember us they might get up tell stories about how they would touch Father power God how they lives are changed but in my mind I go to the Holy Spirit say lord do you see that that was your word they came to the revival I thank your lord you know amen so activation creating spiritual vibration this is so important without faith it is impossible to please god amen seeds are activated through faith driven action without action the seed remains dormant seeds are activated through faith driven action amen you say what do I do yeah I'm going to stay in that place where I'm going to hold that in a place of faith God gave me a prophecy there are seeds that I received where people gave me prophetic words have I seen the results of the words no have I seen the full income outcome of those words no there are things I tell Osborne prophesied to me David Duplice Terry law many great men of God do I hold on to those prophecies yes am I not am I am I going to give up on that no do I have to stay in faith yes I'm not going to give up so I step on father act on God's instructions I'd be proactive I nurture the seed I take intentional effort I look for opportunities to serve amen so pollination cross pollination and divine attributes you know I no longer live but Christ lives in me so cross pollination is another thing that's important look how the bees work look at different things work amen I'm trusting God is working pollination symbolizes divine partnership so I'm believing okay thank you father for divine partnership thank you father for those who know how to do cross pollination our connections with Christ infuses our efforts and supernatural power so I'm thanking God thank you God for divine connections thank you God for divine relationships thank you God for it you know I mean I'm not going to give up amen I remind you of that multiplication Matthew 13 verse 8 says still our seed fell on good soil we have produced a crop 36 100 fold so I'm going to produce I'm going to keep thanking God that is going to produce amen growth is exponential a single act of faith can lead to significant impact so a single act of faith can lead to significant impact so I'm going to stay in faith I'm going to keep sowing the seed I'm going to trust God for multiplication beyond what I can imagine I'm going to I'm going to sow consistently I'm going to expect an abundant harvest I'm going to celebrate small victories as signs of great things to come thank you Lord for the victories we've done some things even lately and we're like thinking oh man it was not that big it was not that great but then the Lord reminded me just celebrate the victory the progress celebrate even what you can celebrate amen that you are working so we build faith amen separation fighting for the harvest amen separation first p to five eight says be sober be vigilant amen because the devil's like a roaring lion seeking who he made his devour so the enemy seeks to steal your harvest the enemy seeks to steal your harvest vigilant prayer and discernment or essential protect what God has given you so you say am I going to say that's easy sometimes no to be vigilant amen I got to commit a regularity to prayer you know and sometimes we just get when we get discouraged it looks like whatever you know it's like and boy does the devil use that kind of discouragement to lower walls down to find a way for the enemy stay rooted in the scripture come amen celebrate your victories keep your focus on God's faithless amen these things are going to be powerful for you but those are very important things to make sure you secure a harvest amen make sure you secure your breakthrough amen I know there's a lot more that we can say on this and it's like but it reminds me of like even when I was looking up just you know I had these notes one time on one of my other notes when I was doing trees and I went and wrote down trees and I was going okay wait a second years gear was trees and I went to trees and I was looking at different trees in the bible you know and I thought and yet had the broom tree and it gives like cool man I can't believe there's so many verses on that the cedar of Lebanon I can't believe there's so many verses on that acacia tree you know you go through sycamore tree so yes yes God plants a seed it grows in a sycamore tree and Luke chapter 19 verse 4 say ran ahead climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him for he was going to pass that way yes yes you know Zacchaeus climbing up in Zacchaeus you know Luke 19 4 Zacchaeus climbs up in a tree well somebody had a plant a seed for Zacchaeus to climb up in a tree to see Jesus amen sorry you know you think of the fig tree and Jesus you know cut the branches off you know me he talks about the fig tree and so you know I talked to you about the olive tree but every one of these trees whether it's it's the it's the cedars of Lebanon and everything it took you know the righteous flourish like a palm tree they grow like the cedar in Lebanon Psalms 92 12 says we grow like the cedar in Lebanon but it's the cedar tree that was the primary material to construct both King King David's and Solomon to build the temple I mean boy when you start trekking down the cedar tree you find it you talk about building entire temples for God from cedar wood you think God planted a cedar seed God planted a sycamore tree for Zacchaeus to climb up God planted an olive sea fast to annoying people with oil to pray for the sick sometimes we have to think about what kind of seed we're sowing and what it produces down the road you might not see it all now I remember years ago right in a book I wrote called the vision of the seed and I wrote that like back in the early 90s because I was preaching a lot of times just on on giving trying to encourage people to connect their finances and revival whatever and I'll just explain how there's a vision in every seed and so those are important things for where we go in in the future don't get discouraged don't get wearing well doing don't give up remind God of his word remind you even when you're giving if you have to hold that cedar he has to thank your father for the seed I wrap that seed with the nature of God I know there's a harvest coming out of it I know it's going to produce I'm not going to get wearing well doing I thank your father I'm going to reap what I sow press down shaking together running over I thank your father amen I'm bringing it up for God Lord yay I'm not just praying you know Lord I bring it up for the throne and like Cornelius if I have to amen this is such a powerful thing we understand the laws of this and we understand how powerful giving is and I just you know I'm not just saying this for us you ever I'm saying this for everyone watching us don't be discouraged amen we are changing lives we are making an impact around the world my are we touching a lot of people the fact you you can sit there I can sit there we had 120 people in this one town all night long I mean you might not understand this but the entire night before I spoke to those 120 some pastors I could not sleep the whole night on one side of the mountain I saw demonic principality ruling over the city called arura and when I was in Bolivia and when I saw that demon creature every time I'd come back to my house I said man there's a there's a demonic there's a demon here only in the morning when I was throwing to some of the pastors wives I said hey I saw something I didn't sleep all night you know after the meeting they're like then when lady pulls out a picture and starts showing me I said I saw this thing but then I thought of myself I never slept almost the whole night yet I was speaking 100 and then you think okay wait a second how many of those 120 some pastors what you shared to them what you spoke them can take it now and go shed all their people and most those meetings those spanish pastors do not want to give up some of those ministers meetings have gone for hours we would sit there breakfast at seven some in the morning and sometimes it'll go to almost 11 12 o'clock many of the meetings that I did even the last time I was there I ended up speaking one morning one of the places almost three hours straight they were so hungry so hungry for the word of God so hungry for revelation and I think about what we are sowing and believe in okay lord you're gonna you're gonna make it come to pass or harvest is coming forth
