Do not stop sowing. Just because you don't see the outcome, the harvest right away, it could be generations down the road, that doesn't mean we stop sowing. You continue to sow your time, your talent, your treasure, testimony, love, generosity, kindness. Sow it. Continue to sow. See the kingdom of God often begins with a small you know prayer whispered in faith. A word spoken in obedience or a step taken when God says move. But once God touches it, it then becomes the exponential growth happens and that exponential process begins. [01:04:46] (39 seconds)  #KeepSowing Download clip

So never despise where you are right now. The prayer that you keep praying, it's a seed. The obedience that you keep walking in, it's a seed. And the faith that you keep holding onto is a seed. Sow those seeds. One day those seeds will become a mighty tree. One day the hidden roots will begin to support a visible fruit. And one day people will find refuge in the very thing that God grows inside of you. So keep sowing, keep believing, and keep trusting the king of kings because the mustard seeds you plant today will become the tree that blesses generations tomorrow. Amen? Amen.

And that you remember I shared when I started this that seeds don't make a noise when they grow. You don't walk by a cornfield and hear the corn stretching and groaning and the roots going into the ground. They don't make noise. But they do have a steady and powerful rise. They're growing. They're developing. And that's what they, you know, Mark four twenty six to 27 said, the kingdom of God is if a man should scatter seed on the ground and should sleep by night and rise by day and the seed should sprout and grow yet he himself does not know how.

See, farmers can prepare the field, they can sow the seed, they can water the soil, but they cannot command the life inside of that seed to awaken. Only God can do that. And see that transformation of a seed into a harvest, it's one of a quiet miracles of creation that God had designed into. And that increase belongs to him. No one can force it. That's why spiritual growth isn't manufactured by our effort alone. [00:57:45] (29 seconds)  #GodGivesLife Download clip

You see, seeds, they actually respond to the soil they're sown into. The same seed sown into two different soils will produce different results. If you have a seed that's actually sown sown into soil that's high in nutrients, that's well fertilized, it's gonna grow pretty well. Right? But if you take that same seed and you plant it in a soil that's rocky, that lacks nutrients, that's not very well lit or anything, you're not gonna get very good results. Right? It's it's the same seed but the difference is its potential. The seed it's not the seed's potential. It's the environment in which it is sown. So where are you sowing the seeds that you have?

There's not one perfect person in this world. So God isn't looking for perfect people. What he's actually doing is he's looking for responsive hearts. He's looking for the ones who will listen and obey. See when the word of God meets a heart that listens and obey, that's responsive and willing to obey, that's when the kingdom advances. Because every instruction from God carries a seed. Every instruction. But what are you gonna do with that seed? Are you gonna sow it in obedience? See when you sow it, it grows. But when you keep it on a shelf, nothing happens. [00:49:14] (38 seconds)  #ResponsiveHearts Download clip

And that seed may look small, but that destiny inside that seed is massive. There's a massive harvest within that small tiny seed. That seed you're carrying today, there's a harvest in that seed when you sow the seed. Think about the 12 disciples. Just those 12 disciples became the global church all because they distributed the seed. They didn't hold it on hold on to it to themselves. In the small upper room, there became a worldwide revival. And on a rugged cross became eternal salvation. All because of that seed that was distributed. [01:16:06] (39 seconds)  #DistributeTheSeed Download clip

A single seed think about this. A single seed can produce a plant with many seeds within it. And each of those seeds is capable of producing more plants and that's how you get that exponential growth, that harvest. And so what began as small expands beyond what you can ever imagine, expands beyond generations. The seed of obedience that was sown by Abraham expanded beyond generations. It's a generational, thing that happens. And that's the pattern of the kingdom. An act of obedience becomes a great testimony. A prayer leads through break leads to breakthrough, and a seed becomes a great tree. [01:00:08] (42 seconds)  #ExponentialObedience Download clip
