We are walking in today:  It's Time To Sow.

Mark 4:26-29 26) And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27) And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28) For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 29) But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.  I'm talking about the seed that I am gonna sow into this prayer conference.  Even if you are not able to to come to the conference--you can still get seed in the ground .  It's important to know that we are sowing seeds on a moment by moment basis.  The type of seed determines what kind of harvest we receive. Creation teaches us that there is a process before fruit is borne.  Just as the seed in the earth gradually matures and bears fruit so do the seed of the kingdom and of the flesh.  Sometimes we mistakenly expect out seeds to produce an immediate harvest or misunderstand our current circumstances, having forgotten about the seeds previously sown--whether good or bad.  Now is the time to examine the seed that we are sowing and take responsibility for them.  Are they seeds of the flesh that will produce corruption in the body, soul or spirit?  The spirit and the flesh are at war with one another and their seeds are also contrary to one another.  Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.  We choose whether we sow to the spirit or to the flesh.  It is never an accident.  Galatians 6:7-9 7) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8) For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9) And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.  In this spiritual season we find ourselves in a place where we are learning about the seven  kingdom seeds that can sown--that will produce an abundant harvest of His goodness in our lives!  Doing so will allow the Lord to pour our His anointing and glory upon us causing our relationship with Him to flourish.  The first seed is the seed of faith.  Rather than sowing fear and unbelief let us sow a pure seed of faith.  Faith alone access the benefits of our covenant in the kingdom.  Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.  Faith is the evidence that we believe, we already possess the promise!  Even if it yet unseen.  Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  Jesus continually taught that the measure that we receive is directly related to the measure of our faith.  Our level of understanding determines our level of faith!  The more we internalizing and unite our hearts with the truth of God's word, the more we believe and receive.  Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  The second seed we are gonna plant is the seed of a listening heart!  We got to be able to hear from God.  A noisy and distracted soul will miss the calm and tranquil voice of God.  While a listening heart, receives wisdom necessary to cooperate with His work in this season.  Isaiah 30:20-21 20) And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: 21) And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.  When we practice sowing a seed  of a listening heart, we are learning to move in the flow of the Spirit. He trains us to move victoriously through situations and circumstances in peace or adversity.  This divine connection, permeates our hearts while being busy with that which lies at hand.  We are able to hear His still small voice, directing us to turn to the right hand or to the left.  It is like dancing, He leads and we are to follow.  The third seed that we are to sow is one that rolls away reproach.  To truly flourish in the kingdom requires us to forgive ourselves and release all who have reproached us.  Holding on to reproach, results in spiritual barrenness and a harvest of thistles and thorns.  Psalm 69:19-20 19) Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee. 20) Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.  Reproach is a condition which prevents a heart from flourishing and producing a harvest of the Lord's goodness.  Reproach is the pinnacle of rejection--which we apply or receive approval, disdain, shame or blame.  We can reproach ourselves or receive reproach from others.  As we develop listening ears, the Holy Spirit will continually reveal to us areas where we have received reproach.  There is a choice to hang on to reproach or to receive the blessings of the blood of Christ--which rolls away reproach.  When we truly listen to Him, and His words roll away our reproach and heals our hearts--Psalm 107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.  The fourth seed that we are to sow is a seed of spiritual authority.  Fiveamprayer we must stop sowing laziness and victimization but God has commissioned us to sow the seed of authority in our lives and over the enemy.  Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.  We sowed a seed of authority by approaching life from position of our authority in Christ. What is that position??  Victory!  Under His authority we then rule over every aspect of our lives as kings.  He makes us conquers in this to land of our hearts, so that in submitting to the Lord we experience His rule and reign of His Spirit in us!  Our responsibility is not only to rule over our lives but to exercise our spiritual authority over satan.  The enemy is relentless and works to distract our focus.  Sowing his tares--I'm talking about his lies, in an attempt to keep us in bondage.  We must sow our seed of authority over our flesh and the devil--at every opportunity.  This will maintain the good ground in our hearts and enable the Lord's work to prosper.  The fifth seed that we will sow is the written and prophetic word, in to the earth.  Isaiah 55:10-11 10) For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11) So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.  We have the authority to sow God's written and prophetic word.  Where ever we have responsibility, when we develop listening hearts, He will give us prophetic seeds to sow into any situation, for prophetic multiplication.  We are to sow faithfully to all that which is to become what the Lord destined them to be.  The enemy's attack  to silence the prophetic flow within us, through reproach, distractions or sin. Do not allow him to silence your voice!  Your covenant promise is to hear the Lord's voice and to prophecy what He gives you to speak.  Open your mouth and the Lord will fill it.  Jeremiah 1:7-9 7) But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 8) Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. 9) Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.  The sixth seed that we will sow is praise and worship--which would be the opposite of murmuring and complaining.  Praise is one of the most powerful weapons that we have access to.  This is one of the greatest instruments we can wield to set ourselves free.   2 Chronicles 20:20-22  20) And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. 21) And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever.  Fiveamprayer, when we sow the seed of praise, the Lord is enthralled to our praises.  He is exalted and the enemy is defeated!  We are able to discern clearly from His perspective of grace, life and truth.  Faith soars in His presence, and the enemy flees.  We reap the harvest of deliverance, faith, joy, strength and life!  The seventh seed that we are to sow is is the seed of His rest.  I am ready to rest in Him!  To rest in the presence of the Lord God Almighty!  We must cease striving in our own strength.  Sow into the flow of the Holy Spirit.  He said, you rest and I will manifest!  Hebrews 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.  We are to sow into His rest.  This rest equates to death to the flesh and the increase in the works of the spirit.  It is not accomplished by treacherous grumblings but by yielding to the power of the Spirit of God working in us!  We do our part by surrendering our darkness to His light!  By resisting temptation and allow God's Spirit to rule and reign with in us.  His rest causes divine productivity and the anointing of ease.  It is the flow of His Spirit, after we sow these seeds we have this promise:  Psalm 65:9-11 9) Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. 10) Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. 11) Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. 
We have gotta think about this one!  The seeds of the kingdom that we can sow and water that God will give the increase!  That He will make them to flourish with His productivity.  It is time to plant the seeds.  Even in this very season--Isaac was instructed by God to sow in a famine and he got a hundred fold return in that same year.  Look at Job he got back more than he lost when God increased him!  He gives seed to the sower.  So if you have seed, that is what you need to be sowing!  Fiveamprayer is sowing a seed of prayer into Absolute Word church.  He said My house should be called a house of prayer!  It is time to sow into the house of God!  He is sending us the latter rain.  We shall reap the harvest if we faint not!  A harvest of healing, a closer relationship with God, deliverance, and peace.  It is time to sow into God's word.  The word tells us that it is better to give than to receive.  That we get double for our trouble!  That our God is a rewarded to those that diligently seek after Him!  God gives seed to the sower!  He gives unto us pressed down, shaken together and running over!  It is time to sow!  His word is a seed, the greatest word is His Son made flesh, Jesus.  He is our Saviour, our mediator.  He won't put more on us than we can bear.  He goes before us and make the crooked places straight.  The closer we get to God, we must have an ear to hear what He is speaking. We are walking by faith, listening to the word of God!  Thank You Lord for giving us seed to sow.  Thank You for Your mercy and Your grace!  Thank You for favor over our lives!  Thank You God that the scales have fallen off!  He gives us seed in His word!  Fiveamprayer He is making us stronger, better and wiser!  Thank You God!  Every word is seed planted on fiveamprayer!  We are to plant or water but only You give the increase.  His word is true!  All of the word that You give God, that is what I sow!  We lift up fiveamprayer, for what every they are standing in the need of.  You give seed to the sower!  So we are called to sow, that we may show You, Lord that we trust You.  That since You have supplied, covered, blocked, stopped, restored us, we know and display where our trust is located in He who created and provides all things!  Sometime we are sowing a sacrificial seed, sowing in a time and season like this. Sowing while there is a famine in the land.  Fiveamprayer, it is time to sow.  Hallelujah!  Sow into the man or woman of God.  Sow into the vision for that ministry as the Holy Spirit leads you!  Thank You God for giving seed to the sower!
