John 1:16-17 (Amplified) says, "For out of His fullness (abundance), we have all received, all had a share and were all supplied with, one Grace after another and Spiritual Blessing upon Spiritual Blessing and even favor upon favor and Gift heaped upon Gift. For while the Law was given through Moses, Grace (unearned, undeserved favor) and Spiritual Blessing and Truth, came through Jesus Christ."
2019 will be a year of understanding the Mystery of God's Kingdom, for those who have ears to hears and eyes to see, like Jesus said in Mark 4:11 (Amplified), "And He said to them, To you has been entrusted the Mystery of the Kingdom of God (the secret counsels of God) which are hidden from the ungodly; but for those outside of our circle everything becomes a Parable."
Jesus gave "The Parable of the Sower," in Mark 4 about the power of words, but still today, some don't understand that the Seed Principle is the Mystery of the Kingdom of God. God's entire Kingdom was formed by and held in place today. Words have only become a means of communication to most of us and we've forgotten their creative power.
Most people only see Jesus as a man or even a man of God, even though we call Him, "Emmanuel, God with us." Most of us have never allowed the full intent of Jesus' birth and how He was the Word made flesh, to be revealed. Many lack understanding and see God and Jesus as being two separate Beings.
I'm not sure that Jesus is the physical or natural way that the Father actually looks, but it might be. The Word was to reveal God in a manner we could see Him with our physical eyes. The things Jesus did, the things Jesus said and the things He revealed to us, were actually God, Who went from "Seed, to the corn in the ear or the harvest," like Jesus' Parable of the Sower says. We saw the Seed sown in Mary's womb, we saw it sprout to become a Child, we watched it grow into maturity and we should have seen hat the full-grown Seed was actually God Himself.
We continue struggling to understand God's will and see God as He actually is. We struggle to separate the God of the old covenant, from the Father in the new covenant. Jesus said, "When you see Me, you see the Father."
Words produce what the image of that word is. In Proverbs 4:20-22 (Amplified), God says, "My Son, attend to My Words; consent and submit to My sayings. Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart. For they are Life to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh." When the Word (seed) is sown into your heart about healing, then it will produce health and healing to all your flesh, according to the above scripture. This Word (Seed) is just as sure as the "Word was made flesh," from John 1:14 (Amplified), which says, "And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled among us." It's never been a question about, "Does God's Word work" or "Does the seed produce after kind," but it's a matter of do we allow that Word to do it's job or do we choke it out?
Jesus compared the Parable about the seed to the Mystery of God's Kingdom and the secret counsel of God and we should take notice of this. God and His Word are One, so we must look more closely at Jesus, in order to determine our Heavenly Father.
John 1:1 (Amplified) says, "In the beginning (before all time), was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself." God and the Word and the Seed of His Word are the Same. Hebrews 1:3 (Amplified) says, "He (Jesus, the Word), is the Sole Expression of the Glory of God (the Light-Being, the out-raying or radiance of the Divine), and He is the Perfect Imprint and very Image of God's nature." If you really want to know the nature and Sole Expression of our Heavenly Father, then you can actually see Him in Jesus. This Word or Seed cannot produce anything else, but the Visible Presence of God.
The people following Jesus asked Him, "When will the Kingdom of God come," in Luke 17:20-21 (Amplified) and Jesus answered them saying, "Nor will people say, Look! Here it is! or See, it is there! For behold, the Kingdom of God is within you, in your hearts and among you, surrounding you." The Word (or Seed) had come and the soil of their hearts or spirit which was within, was the soil that would produce the Kingdom in their lives. Jesus was sowing the fruit or reality of the Kingdom in the spirits of "those who had ears to hear," just like His Parable. The Seed or Word would produce in their hearts, all that the Seed was intended to produce.
The power of Words is the secret counsel and Mystery of God's Kingdom. It's so simple that people have stumbled over it, reasoning among ourselves that, "It must be more than that." We really don't understand that Words are Spirit and seed, so we sow them without thinking about what they will produce in our lives. Jesus didn't say that only "His Words are seeds," but He said that all words are seeds. The Words of God produce the Kingdom of God and the words of the world produce the fruit of the kingdom of darkness. Both of these seeds produce readily, in the soil of your heart or spirit.
When you sow a seed in your garden, you place markers at the end of each row, because the seed is buried in the soil and you cannot see it. The marker allows you to know what you planted. When the plants sprout up, you won't mistake it for a weed and pull it up. Most of us don't sow only one thing in our garden. We don't plant corn, hoping to get some onions or carrots too. We know that every seed produces after kind. Why would we think the Seed or Word of God would be different? We can't sow seeds of worry, doubt, or strife and then expect healing to grow from them. We must not sow, things we don't want.
The entire universe and everything in it, was produced and still maintained by the Seed or Word of God. This Seed was never allowed to be crowded out by the thorns and weeds of the world and the enemy, and it's still producing the same as it always did. Hebrews 1:3 tells us that, "Jesus is the Perfect Imprint and Very Image of God's nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty Word of Power." Notice, it doesn't say "by the power of His Word," but it says, "by His Word of Power." The first means that when He speaks a particular things, it comes to pass because of the power of His Word, while the other means it brings everything to what He calls it, by the Word of His Power.
As the Word, Jesus is the Word of His Power and the Words of God that we speak, come to pass, because of the Power of His Word. In the beginning was the Word, is the Word of His Power and this is what we walk in by Jesus-THE POWER OF THAT WORD. Hebrews 1:3 (Amplified) says it is, "Upholding, and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His Mighty Word of Power." What we say (sow) has the power to produce, because of His Mighty Word of Power This is part of understanding the Mystery of the Kingdom of God.
We sow the seed or Word in our own spirit and God watches over it and it comes to pass, because it is His Word of Power. God's Word cannot fail to produce, because it is His Word of Power. The Seed is guaranteed to produce in our lives, just like it still holds the universe in place.
The god of this world and his kingdom of darkness, fought hard against the Truth of God's Word from producing. The enemy has gone to great lengths to make God's Word about Words being seed, seem like foolishness to the believer, so that we never learn to choose our words in Wisdom and understanding. It's been difficult for believers to place much faith in what we say or sow, because of this. It isn't foolishness, but Kingdom fruit that comes from Kingdom Seed.
We don't need to know how a carrot seed works. We only need to know that when we plant a carrot seed, it will produce carrots. Don't try to figure out how a bunch of carrots, can be inside a seed. Just sow the seed, care for it while it grows and enjoy it's fruit. We should at the very least, respect the Seed of God's Word, enough to sow it into our hearts, watch over it and live in the fruit of it's maturity.
