See, a seed must break open before this there is a stem or before there are leaves or any kind of fruit that is is shown. It must break open. It goes through this process. Right? And that breaking isn't destruction. See, the world tries to tries to put that breaking time as like a destruction, a bad word, a bad thing, but it's not destruction. That breaking of the seed is actually transformation. Transforming it into what it's called to be, called to do. It's development. And the pressure isn't punishment, but it's a process.

See, that's why whatever you're going through, whatever pressure you're going through, the word says the holy spirit breaks every yoke of bondage. Right? When you fully surrender it to God, when you fully surrender to the holy spirit, that what was meant to harm, that hold you down, that compression is going to break you open. You're going to be set free to fulfill the calling God has called on your life. Those pressures produce something and without pressure there isn't growth.

Because microscopic, what I want you to understand is microscopic doesn't mean meaningless. Zechariah four ten says this. It says, do not despise these small beginnings for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb and line, and I'm not gonna try to pronounce that word hand. Right? Zeb you go. Interactive preaching preaching as pastor Brent calls it. See, don't despise those small beginnings. Rejoice in them because they're mighty.

Because see what I want you to understand is a seed is not planted without a harvest being expected. God is not gonna have a seed planted without a harvest coming from that seed. So continue to seek him. And another thing I want you to get is this, it's important to remember that roots grow before the branches and depth develops before dominion manifests. So you have to have those deep roots, you have to stay grounded. [00:44:54] (31 seconds)  #RootsBeforeBranches Download clip

And see, when seeds are underground, that's when they develop the most. When a seed is planted underground, that's when the most work is done, when they're in the dark. See below the surface, that's when roots are stretching. That's when they're forming. That's when they're anchoring. When they're alone. When they when they get into the word. Same with the kingdom of God. When you get into your prayer closet, when you get into the word, when you spend that time seeking him, praying without ceasing, when you do that one on one time, that's when your roots deepen.

When we give them to God we're saying, God I trust you with this. I might not see the full outcome but I'm going to take that step. Just as Abraham did, he took that first step. God told him to go. He didn't know where he was gonna go. He didn't know what he was going to do, but he obeyed and he said, I'm taking that first step. See, when we give it to God and we release it to him, that's when these magnificent things happen. [00:36:22] (26 seconds)  #SurrenderUnlocksMiracles Download clip

And God's like, nope, that's not it. That's not him. That's not him. And Samuel had to look at Jesse and said, do you have anybody else? He's like, yeah, you know, my smallest kid who's out in the field who's tending sheep, know, basically why should I bring him him? He's not gonna be anything. So he brought him forth and now and when he came forth Samuel said, that's the one. And he anointed him as king and now he's known as a a great king and he's known as man after God's own heart. Right? [00:31:32] (26 seconds)  #CalledFromTheField Download clip

But when he surrendered it to God, God was able to use that small tool, that small ins what seemed insignificant for mighty works. It turned into the serpent in front of pharaoh's men. Right? And he used that rod to strike the Red Sea and part the Red Sea to deliver the Israelites. See, something so small being surrendered to him. Something small plus surrender equals supernatural outcomes. [00:32:24] (25 seconds)  #SmallSurrenderSupernatural Download clip
