The words we say are a reflection of what we really believe. We release either life or death by what we speak (Prov. 18:21). James said that if we can control our words, we can control our whole bodies.

Words make a difference! So, pick yours carefully so there will also be a performance of those things which have been told you from the Lord.

Confession: My words cause me to walk in God’s plan of abundance and health. Be it unto me according to Your Word, Lord.

{10} For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no deception — guile.

Proverbs 18:21 (The Amplified Bible)

{21} Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].

The limits that all of us set upon our life is produced by the words we speak. We are speaking death to our life, or speaking life to our life. Words are so important in scheme of things. They are of great magnitude, yet many people don’t put a premium on them.

My wife and I own a vehicle that is designed to take premium fuel. The automobile works to its highest level when the right grade of fuel is put in. We could choose to put a different quality of fuel in it, but eventually that car will not operate to its utmost performance. The same is true with the words we speak. We can choose to speak any word we want but eventually the words we are speaking are going to register — have a destructive effect upon our life. The words we speak must line up with God’s Word.

I know, that there are those that say, “It doesn’t matter what I say.” Many say all that positive stuff doesn’t work for me. My friend, if you say it does not work for you it won’t, will not work for you. We must come to the awareness that we can have what we say (Mark 11:23-24).

“WHAT YOU ARE SPEAKING, YOU ARE SEEKING.”
— Anthony N. Wade

In Luke 8:11 Jesus makes a very profound statement that will be the foundation of this message

He said that… “The Seed Is The Word.” He then went on to discuss how the Word works in the heart of every believer. The heart of the believer is the soil that the seed of the Word goes into. The soil of your heart will determine the type of harvest you will have; depending on the condition of your heart. Your heart will ascertain the yield that you will receive from any particular seed. The seed of the Word must be planted in the believers heart — soul and spirit. That seed then germinates deep within the believers heart — his or her spirit. Then that seed has the ability to produce, first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear (Mark 4:28). When the harvest comes then we have the ability to enjoy the fruit of our labor. The fruit of our labor is in direct proportion to the type of soil our heart is, or has become. We decide the type of heart (soil) we have by what we do (Luke 8:18, Mark 4:24-25).

PLANT THE SEED:
Much like a farmer the believer decides what type of crop he or she will have. The farmer goes to the granary to receive the seed he needs for his crop. If he desires a corn crop he must plant seed corn. If he is wants a cotton crop he must plant cotton seed. If he wants soybeans, he must plant soybeans. I have never heard of a farmer that wanted corn, but planted watermelon seeds. No, If he wanted watermelons, he would of necessity plant watermelon seeds. It is impossible to get corn from soybeans and visa versa. It is the believer’s responsibility to plant the seeds of the type of crop that they want. You and I are responsible for the type of crop we have buy the seeds we have sown. The farmer cannot blame anyone but himself if he has not produced the type of crop that he desired. If he did blame someone else, the most logical question would be what kind of seed did you sow? If he told you that he planted soybeans, but was looking for corn, you would immediately tell him that it was his fault for planting the wrong seeds.

The same is with you and me. What are we looking for that is supported by the Seed of the Word? If we are looking for Salvation, we must plant the seeds of salvation. If we are looking healing, we must plant the seeds that would produce healing. If we want prosperity we must plant the seeds of prosperity. Incidentally prosperity is more than money; it encompasses more than finances. Finances are only one-third of true biblical prosperity. If we want marital harm- ony we must plant the seeds that will bring forth a blissful marriage. One of the things that has been very important to me personally is the peace of God manifested in my life. There is a passage of scripture in the book of James that I have endeavored to sow not only in my life, but also in the life of others. It speaks volumes to me particularly when I see this seed produced in the life of others. I do everything I can to plant this seed. Why? Because the seeds you sow is what you will grow.

James 3:16-18 NKJV

{16} For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

{17} But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. {18} Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

INCORRUPTIBLE SEED:
1 Peter 1:23-24 NKJV

{23} having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the Word of God which lives and abides forever.

INCORRUPTIBLE HEART:
When we think of something that is incorruptible, it means that nothing can destroy it or deny its existence — taint, or cause it to be other than it was created to be. Did you know that that is what God thinks of the real you. The real you is your spirit. The Bible supports that we are a tri-part being — spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23 * John 4:24 * Hebrews 4:12 * Romans 8:16-17). Your spirit is the real you. Your spirit — the real you — has the life and the nature of God in it (2Peter1:4). If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior your nature has changed by virtue of the fact that your spirit has changed. The part of you that has changed is incorruptible. (the real you.)

WATER THAT SEED:
In his book Christ the Healer, the late F.F. Bosworth said that the seed is not planted until it is known, received, and trusted. Mr.Bosworth also said that “the seed must remain planted and kept watered before it can produce it’s harvest.” We water the seed of the Word, by speaking the Word over the seed. That’s called watering the seed. -AWM
