Gardening time- reflected on the parable of the Sower/Seed. Jesus said, Know ye not this parable (truth)? and how then will you know all parables (truth)?” Mark 4:13 Why was this so important?(1) Understanding spiritual activity (2) Spiritual growth. Spiritual activity is necessary for spiritual growth, resistance and “push back” strengthens the spirit. 1 John 2:13- if we have the Word of God (seed) abiding in us strongly we will be able to overcome the wicked one. God didn’t set us up to fail, He set us to succeed. Faith creates realities and faith comes by Rom. 10:17 by hearing and hearing the Word of God. 1 Peter 2:2 we need to desire the sincere milk of the Word to grow spiritually. When we pursue spiritual development our life will not be victimized but we will identify with the victory we have in Christ. Jesus said, “Sanctify them through Thy Word, Thy Word is Truth!” 1 John 2:20,27 says you have the anointing of the Holy Spirit sealed inside you to teach you. You will have the ability to apply the Word to every situation you face and be an overcomer!
