i received this message as God spoke to me about my life and why im having the problems that i am, and i hope it blesses you...
in 1 john 3.9
the bible says that sin is overcome in us becuase the SEED REMAINS in us. its incorruptible, if the seed remains in us, we have the victory over sin.
but i think the seed doesnt remain in everyone, it does in some people, but not everyone i think its determined by how we live. becuase sin isnt defeated in everyones life. we have to protect the seed God imparts into our lives.
in matthew 13.18-23
Jesus tells the parable of the sower.
and in verse 22 God describes to us what happens with the seed in some of our lives.
the whole parable tells us how the seed can remain and be blessed, but also, the seed can be destroyed and choked out.
and i think the one that happens the most in most of peoples lives, is the same thing that God said was going wrong in me, there are things like weeds and stuff that chokes and kills the seed.
too many video games, too much tv, too much time on the enternet, too much time at work, and inevitably too little time alone with God and in the word... and these things begin to take hold and kill the God in your life, it chokes out your relationship with him... like a living plant taking hold and strangling you, these weeds, they grow up and choke other plants.
like if you ever planted a garden, you know how you have to watch the weeds becuase they can literally choke and kill the life from your vegetables.
i kinda want to be like the young man who came to Jesus and was told to go and sell all that he had and follow God.
not literally, but in a picture kinda way, get rid of all the STUFF, the video games and countless hours on the enternet and countless hours doing other worthless things, and just go follow God and be alone with him, pouring into my life and future and security and wellbeing.
we have to be careful how much we give to THINGS, becuase we can begin to raise the creation up higher than the creator, and these THINGS can kill the seed and the anointing, these THINGS can take so much of our time energy and focus that they literally strangle your relationship with God, your ability to hear from him, your ability to be lead by him, your ability to walk in the power of God, your faith, your integrity, your goodness, it can strangle the life out of you....
having to much STUFF in your life.
whats killing your seed? whats in your life thats hostile to the seed hes imparted into you? what are you doing or where are you going, that is hostile to what God is trying to do in your life? what kills your ability to be holy? what gives sin a foothold in your life.
i believe and pray as you read this God will move in your heart and bring things to your attention and speak to you about things in your life, as he has me.
well Godbless,
we need to pull up some weeds, well i know i do.
so i wont be here as much anymore.
but Godbless you all,
Lee.
