Faith

Seed

But it will not happen by accident. Jesus taught that God's Word is a seed. It will bring forth in your life after its kind.

"Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God." (Luke 8:11 NKJ)

Whatever your need -- plant the seed from God's Word that covers it. Then you will reap what you need, if you don't give up (Galatians 6:9).

If you have big needs -- plant more of God's seed.

In Joshua 1:7-9, God gave instructions for success. They will still work in your life today. You must not only read God's Word but also speak it. Hearing it and speaking it plants God's Word in you.

This book will help you feed your faith. It is just Scriptures from various translations of the Bible. The ones titled "Confessions" are Scriptures personalized by changing the pronouns, etc.

The more you say the Scriptures in this book, the more your faith will grow. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Nothing will build your faith as quickly as speaking God's Word yourself.

The promise of Jesus in John 8:31-32 is for you. If you continue in the Word of God, you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free! Only those who continue in God's Word come to the place of knowing. That is faith. Faith is not trying to believe. Faith is knowing that you know.

Continue saying these Scriptures and thinking about them. They will grow big in you and produce the fruit of freedom in your life, for the glory of God.
