Use Your God Given Ability

There is a power in man that I don't think people realize, that works in connection with God's word. We know that in Genesis 1:11,12 God called for the earth to bring forth the grass, herbs, and fruit trees and the earth brought forth those things. And the earth still brings those things forth today and it always will. In Genesis 8:22 it says, while the earth remains there will always be seedtime and harvest. That means as long as the earth remains if you put a seed in the ground, water it, and give it light in time the seed you put in the ground that thing will come out in manifestation. In Genesis 1:28 when God blessed man the first thing He said is, "Be Fruitful". That word fruitful is translated-bring forth, increase, grow. Just like the earth God endowed man with the ability of increase. That's what Jesus is showing in Mark 4 in The Parable Of The Sower. When he taught that a sower went out to sow seed and some seed fell on stony ground, some fell by the way side, some fell among thorns, and other fell on good ground and brought forth fruit. Notice, in those scriptures the seed is the word of God(words). And the ground is the heart(spirit) of man. And the word is also water(Eph. 5:26) and also light(Psalm 119:130).

So, understand what is happening when you confess God's word which the scriptures tells us to do (Hebrews 4:14 Hebrews 10:23). The word profession is the same word confession which means to say the same thing. When you confess God's word you are planting and watering seed. And when seed is planted and watered that thing will come into manifestation. Jesus said in Mark 4:22, For there is nothing hid which shall not be manifested. The first time you hear the word that's planting and each time after that is watering. In 1 Corinthians 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. You and the word are meant to work together, in Isaiah 55:10,11 it says 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(unable or insufficient to produce effect), but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. The effect of the word is to produce a manifestation. As it says in John 1:14 And the word was made flesh translation the words that were spoken about Jesus manifested.

In 1 John 1:1,2 it says, That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the word of life. (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us). He's talking about the word, John 1:1 says, In the beginning was the word and Proverbs 4:22 says, The word is life. Jesus said in Luke 6:45, A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: For of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Notice, the man BRINGS FORTH, BRINGS FORTH, BRINGS FORTH out of his heart. What do you think he brings forth, what Jesus said in Mark 4:22 the manifestation of the words-seeds in his heart. It's interesting in Luke 6:45 Jesus calls the words in your heart treasure and Jesus said what's hid in your heart will manifest. That word hid is translated to conceal by covering and what do people often do with treasures, bury them. Why do people bury treasures because it's valuable to them, it's precious. Well if the word is valuable to you, if it's precious to you, bury it in your heart.

What is a seed, it's the substance of a thing. If you put a rose seed(the substance of a thing) in the earth that thing will come out of the earth. If you put the substance of a tomato in the earth a tomato will come out of the earth. In Matthew 17:20 Jesus compares faith to a seed. In Matthew 17:20 it says, And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. See, if you have the substance of the thing in you the thing will come out of you by your words. If you have faith as a seed, well faith is the substance of things hoped for(Heb. 11:1). So, if you have the substance of mountain be removed hence to yonder place in you when you speak it that will come out of you and into manifestation. The woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5 notice, she said if I may touch but his clothes I shall be made whole and notice Jesus response, "Your faith has made you whole." The substance she had in her was the thing she brought forth with her words. In Matthew 8 the centurion said, "Just speak the word only and my servant shall be healed" and notice Jesus response, "I have not found so great fath." And Jesus said to him, "Go thy way, and as though hast believed so be it done unto you" and his servant was healed in the self same hour. The substance he had in him was the thing that came out of him by his words.

In Proverbs 4:20-23 it says, My son attend to my words; incline thy ears unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all thy flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. That word health is translated-medicine, healing, remedy, and cure. Notice, God says to put and keep his word in your heart. Because, your spirit has the ability to take it from word to thing. The word being seed, water, and light, and your spirit being ground by the planting and watering of the seed the thing will come into manifestation. Back to Jesus in Mark 4:22 there is nothing hid which shall not be manifested. Notice, in Acts 14:7-10 it reads And there they preached the gospel. And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked. The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet, and he leaped and walked. Notice, the man did nothing, but hear the word and the word he heard was enough to be medicine and healing to his flesh. Now, go find some words from God and plant them in your heart and use your God given ability.

Understand one of the main points Jesus made is words are seeds, Mark 4:14 The sower soweth the word. And if words are seeds that means they produce, that's what Proverbs 18:21 says, Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Fruit is the product of seed sown. Think about this a seed is the thing itself, a rose seed becomes a rose. And think about this words are things, if you look up the words word and thing they are the same word. And just like seeds become things words become things. And we know that from John 1:14, And the word was made flesh and dwelt among us. 1 John 1:1,2 says,That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;). And according to John 1:1 that life was the word -In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Jesus himself was a manifestation of the word. When the word makes contact with your heart a growth process begins, that's why God put increase in you. So, if I plant healing seed in me and keep it in me like Proverbs 4:20-23 says at some point I am suppose to see healing. So, again find some words of God and plant them in you and use your God given ability.

It is not God's will that any should perish. And I wouldn't want to end this article without giving someone the opportunity to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. It's very easy just pray: Dear God- I know I have sinned and I now turn from them and I invite Jesus to come into my heart (Revelation 3:20). He died for my sins and you have raised him from the dead and I now confess that Jesus is my Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9,10). I thank you for saving me, Amen

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:12). 1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
