Recently I was given a potted basil plant as a gift. I got all excited at the thought of having this fresh delicate herb. Smiling as I carried it home and placed it in my lanai, to my dismay, within days this young plant went from standing sturdy to shriveling, to sagging and quickly died.



This scenario is true in our own lives when it comes to receiving, carrying and growing the Seed of God ~ His Word.



In Matthew 13:18 -23 Jesus paints a great picture of what is happening to the Seeds of Heaven that are being sown into the peoples’ lives, and in one case He clearly says, “There is no root in them.” Vs 21



So whether it’s natural outdoor seeds and plants or the Supernatural Seeds of God’s Word there is this environment, an atmosphere as a Supernatural capacity to be prepared. It is a structure within us that gives the Seed good soil to land on, with proper watering and lighting to take root and grow to producing sweet fruit.



How do we do that? How do we prepare ourselves? In Proverbs 16:20 says that whoever gives heed to instruction prospers. Instruction means discipline. Correcting instruction is what develops the in- structure, the Supernatural capacity within us. The next blog will be all about how the Seeds grow in us and bring us into formation with Him.


Action Steps:



Ask the Holy Spirit to show you what your capacity is. Do you have the capacity to receive the His Seeds / Words? Do you have the “in-structure” that is a safe environment to be able to carry the weighty Words of God that actually put down roots and grow up?



Ask the Holy Spirit to give you instructions and corrections that would begin to enlarge your Supernatural capacity while clearing things out that don't belong there and creating the atmosphere and environment that He so desires. The word of God is a living Word and imparts life into every area of your being!
