The Harvest Awaits Our
Sowing Of Promises Most
folks know it is totally impossible to reap a harvest where NO SEED HAS
BEEN SOWN. None, in their
right mind, would believe that something would be coming up when there has
been nothing THAT WENT DOWN. “Except
a corn of wheat fall into the ground, it abides alone.”
JESUS SAID that to show us a principle:
Without sowing there cannot be any reaping.
We must SOW, if we really expect to REAP.
That truth impacts many areas of our lives, to say the least. FAITH
PLANTS PROMISES. DOUBTS DIG
THEM UP; AND REASON RAGES AGAINST FAITH, TRUST, and BELIEF.
We must understand that behind every promise we are asked to
BELIEVE AND ACT upon, is the ALMIGHTINESS of GOD, HIMSELF.
He, alone, has created the entire MATERIAL WORLD; HE is the AUTHOR
of all GALAXIES, PLANTS AND PROMISES. Our faith comes from God; our
finishing, also, comes from God. He
stands behind every one of the PROMISES, shouting to each of us, “I WILL
KEEP MY WORD, I WILL DO ALL I HAVE PROMISED!”
So the harvest is totally guaranteed, but we are held liable to SOW
THE SEED and make sure we KEEP IT BURIED AND WELL WATERED.
TRUE
FAITH is usually preceded by FEELINGS that challenge the
promise—pointing to some report, fact or opinion that is supposed to
carry the SAME WEIGHT as THE PROMISE OF GOD.
FAITH is simply a LEAP INTO THE DARK, WHICH ALLOWS US TO ARRIVE IN
THE LIGHT, A JOURNEY INTO THE UNSEEN THAT LEADS US TO TRUE LIGHT. The
sowing of promises causes SELF-RELIANCE to die, REASON TO BE OUTRAGED,
FLESH TO CRINGE and GOD TO BE HAPPY AND SHORTLY GLORIFIED. Ó 2004 J.W. Arnold |
