The Wake of The King- The Mustard Seed pt 2

What looked like death on a Friday, I think y'all would say it this way, was actually a seed being planted. It's a seed being planted. And when God plants a seed, resurrection is in not inedible, inevitable. There it is. I know I like to eat some, but that's okay. The kingdom of God grows when seeds are planted. When you release obedience, when you release generosity, when you release your faith, God activates and increases it. It's activated. You cannot reap what you refuse to release. You cannot reap what you refuse to release. You want love? Release it. If you want forgiveness? Release it. You want peace? Release it. You want joy? Release it. Well, I'll get joy when you're joy no. You release it. [00:53:00] (63 seconds)  #PlantForResurrection

So many times people go, well, I got faith in that, but no. It's not passive. It it's not a passive belief. It's an active belief. The bible says faith without corresponding action. Faith without works is dead. Faith without corresponding action is dead. So it's not a passive belief, and you're gonna see this in in when we get to the next parts of this of how that faith and how Jesus activated that faith. James says, faith without works is dead, but you can't hold on to a seed and expect the harvest. You can't hold on to it and just continue to expect the harvest. It has to be planted. You have to plant it. You got to put some work into it. [00:37:29] (43 seconds)  #FaithInAction

It's very key. Notice the order. God cares more about your depth than your display. Don't get caught on the display. Display will take care of itself. He's more concerned about your depth. Because the people that are concerned about the display is the ones that got up to heaven, and Jesus said it this way, turn for me, you worker of iniquity. Because they're the ones that came to God and said, I go to church every day. I give my tithe. I show up. I said your name. But Jesus looked at them, said, turn from me, you worker of iniquity. They were more concerned about their display than their depth. Jesus is concerned about your depth. [01:03:48] (55 seconds)  #MustardSeedRefuge

The environment changes because the tree has grown. The place where the kingdom of God has grown, the environment will always change. You know where the kingdom of God is because of the environment. I said it years ago. We are not to be a thermometer. We are to be a what? A thermostat. We change the environment. The kingdom of God changes the environment. From the very beginning, God designed humanity for dominion. Genesis one twenty eight, be fruitful and what? Multiply. Have dominion. He says have dominion. Dominion means this. Write this down. Dominion means responsible responsible influence under God's authority. [01:14:48] (67 seconds)  #OneLifeOneHarvest

And I believe in that moment when he was in the Garden Of Gethsemane. He said, father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not my will be. Not my will, but yours be done. That is activated by planting. He activated his faith. The that was the moment of surrender. When you plant, you are surrendering. I surrender all. Your your flesh is the desires, your will, where you what you think is important, what your treasures are. I I like I like the the story. This ain't in my notes, but I was reading it the other day, and, it's it's about the person, that that's coming. [00:49:13] (54 seconds)  #FromPotentialToPurpose
