God's Holy Spirit awaits to work in the life of one that well be planted like as seed. |
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he (God's Spirit) shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. (Hosea 6:3) For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and flood upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: and they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses. (Isaiah 44:3-4) |
The
Seed must
now be planted . . . that the moisture may penetrate to and stimulate the life inside. Jesus not only wants to live inside, but He also wants to be Lord over you mind, will, and emotions.

But if
it die .... (John 12:24)
If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross (die to self) daily, and follow me. (Luke 9:23) Behold, I stand at the door
(man's soul),
and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door (to
man's soul),
I will come in to him and will sup with him and he with me
(fellowship).
(Revelation 3:20) Note: Jesus spoke the above words to Believers. |
a child of God should seek to GROW. 1. Be baptized |
Then they
that gladly received his word were baptized (immersed).
(Acts
2:41)
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together. (Hebrew 10:25) Pray without ceasing. (Thessalonians 5:17) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby. (I Peter 2:2) Let your light so shine before men, that thy may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 5:17) |
1. Boldness in living. 2. Revelation of His Word and guidance. 3. Operations of the spiritual gifts. 4. Maturing of spiritual fruit. 5. Power to witness. Your heavenly Father gives(s) the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him. (Luke 11:13) |
And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pout in those days of my Spirit. (Acts 2:18)
2. John 14:26 3. I Corinthians 12:11 4. James 5:7 5. John 16:8 |
by the flow of life through the seed. Jesus not only wants to live inside of you, and to be in your life, but He also wants to touch the lives of others through you.

But
if
it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. (John 12:24)
Be filled (continually) with the Spirit. (Ephesians 5:18) If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water (the Holy Spirit). (John 7:37-38) The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23) |
by sharing God's Word with others |
A sower went
out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side;
and
and
was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
And some
fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was spring up, it withered
away,
because
it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns; and the
thorns
sprang
up with it, and choked it. And others fell on good ground,
and
spring
up, and bare fruit and hundredfold. (Luke 8:5-8)
The seed is the word of God. (Luke 8:11) |
by sharing this tract with a friend He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. (Psalm 126:6) |
||
|
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 where to I send it. (Isaiah 55:11) |
