Day 3 of 40 DAYS IN THE WORD “GOD HAS PLANTED HIS SEED” “I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, UNLESS A KERNEL OF WHEAT FALLS TO THE GROUND AND DIES, IT REMAINS ONLY A SINGLE SEED. BUT IF IT DIES, IT PRODUCES MANY SEEDS.” John 12:24 )NIV) Fear and faith are very similar in that they both often tell us something in which we cannot see is going to happen. · FEAR SAYS…You are going to lose your job. · FAITH SAYS…God will supply all your needs. · FEAR SAYS…Your marriage won’t survive. · FAITH SAYS…Good things will come. · FEAR SAYS…I’m destroyed because of what someone has said or done! · FAITH SAYS…They meant to harm me, but God meant it for good. What we think invites feelings into our life. There is a difference between being planted and being buried. When planted, a seed will die, but it will soon come to life, grow, become strong and prosperous. As a believer, God has planted the seed of His Spirit deep into your heart. Put your faith in that seed and when it seems like life is unfair, don’t let it bury you. Nothing can defeat or destroy you without your permission. You may be discouraged, but keep believing. In time God will stir that seed which will give you the courage, power and strength to rise up stronger and better than ever before! Your sadness will be turned to happiness. Your despair to joy! Don’t let the devil defeat you because of past experiences or circumstances. Believe in the seed. “I CAN DO EVERYTHING THROUGH HIM WHO GIVES ME STRENGTH”. (Philippians 4:13) NIV “IN ALL THINGS WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM WHO LOVED US”. Romans 8:37 (NIV) Spiritual strength comes from reading, trusting and obeying God’s Word!! Pastor Carnes
