GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST, GOD REVEALS A PATTERN FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING IN CHRIST. CHRIST IS THE PATTERN AND CHRIST IS THE PLAN. GOD IT IS YOUR VOICE I HEAR WHEN I PRAY YOUR WORD, GOD IT IS YOUR VOICE THAT IS FILLING ME.
"GOD, YOU SAID: "FOR I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU," DECLARES THE LORD, "PLANS TO PROSPER YOU AND NOT TO HARM YOU, PLANS TO GIVE YOU HOPE AND A FUTURE. THEN YOU WILL CALL ON ME AND COME AND PRAY TO ME AND I WILL LISTEN TO YOU. YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FIND ME WHEN YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART. I WILL BE FOUND BY YOU, DECLARES THE LORD!
(Jeremiah 29:11-14a)

AS A DISCIPLE OF JESUS I "SOW THE SEED" OF GOD'S WORD WITH ALL WHO READ MY BLOG.
BEFORE I RECEIVED CHRIST AS MY PERSONAL SAVIOR, I READ A LOT DIFFERENT BOOKS. ONE IN PARTICULAR WAS JOHNNY APPLESEED, HOW HE WENT ABOUT THE WHOLE COUNTRY SPREADING APPLE SEEDS EVERYWHERE HE WENT. AFTER RECEIVING CHRIST AS MY SAVIOR I WANTED EVERYONE TO KNOW CHRIST. SO I WAS SHARING THE GOOD NEWS WITH ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN. I WAS SOWING THE WORD SEEDS OF THE GOSPLE WITH ANY ONE WHO WOULD RECEIVE THEM BY SPEAKING THE WORD TO THEM. I WAS SPREADING THE WORD THE WAY JOHNNY APPLESEED SOW THE SEEDS.
THE SERMON THIS WEEK WAS ON THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER. HOW THE SEED FELL ON DIFFERENT KINDS OF SOIL AND PRODUCED DIFFERENT KINDS OF RESULTS BASED ON THE CONDITION OF THE SOIL. THE HEART OF MAN IS THE SOIL, THE CONDITION OF MAN'S SOIL IS BASED ON THE MAN'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD. BASED ON THE PARABLE ONLY 25% OF THE SOIL PRODUCED GOOD FRUIT. BECAUSE THE HEARER OF THE WORD DETERMINES THE QUALITY OF THE SOIL, WE WHO SOW, SOW AND LEAVE THE WORRY TO GOD WHAT THE SOIL WILL PRODUCE.
"MAY THE GOD OF PEACE, WHO THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE ETERNAL COVENANT BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THAT GREAT SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP, EQUIP ME WITH EVERYTHING GOOD FOR DOING GOD'S WILL, AND MAY GOD WORK IN ME WHAT IS PLEASING TO GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, TO WHOM BE GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER." AMEN! (Heb.13:20-21)
"CHRIST IS THE PATTERN FOR MY LIFE, AND GOD IS TRANSFORMING ME TO THE PATTERN. SO I SAY THANKS BE TO GOD." AMEN!
