00:27 Welcome to "Issues and Answers."
00:29 So glad you could join us.
00:30 Today, were gonna be talking about the power of a seed.
00:33 And according to Webster,
00:35 a seed is a flowering plants unit of reproduction.
00:38 It is capable of developing into another such plant.
00:41 Today we are going to be talking about
00:43 again the power of a seed with Dr. Andrea King.
00:46 She is a graduate of Oakwood University,
00:49 holds a Masters of Divinity from Andrews University
00:52 and a Doctor of Ministry from Fuller Theological Seminary
00:56 in California in Youth, Family and Culture.
00:59 Welcome to the program, Dr. King.
01:01 So glad you could come all the way from California.
01:05 Right, thank you. It's good to be here.
01:06 So you've given us the subject the power of a seed,
01:09 tell us about that.
01:11 Why are seeds so important
01:13 and are they mentioned in the Bible?
01:15 Well, seeds are mentioned everywhere in the Bible.
01:18 You talked about it being something with flowers
01:21 but they are all kinds of seeds.
01:23 We find it in Genesis when God says that
01:26 the woman would have a seed.
01:28 We find it when Jesus talks about the word being seed.
01:31 So there's seeds all over the Bible.
01:35 I think seeds are powerful because a lot of times
01:38 when we see seeds or get seeds,
01:40 they don't look like much,
01:42 they are actually pretty disappointing.
01:43 Yes.
01:45 And you can never tell by looking at a seed
01:48 what is gonna turn out.
01:50 And I think many times God gives us seeds.
01:54 I mean, Adam and Eve got the big Garden of Eden
01:57 but the rest of us we usually get a seed or so.
02:00 Right.
02:02 As sometimes when we get those seeds
02:05 and it could be,
02:07 it could be seeds that you have to plant
02:08 which I'm not really good at.
02:10 It could be things that are small
02:14 and then we get it we feel little disappointed
02:16 like God, is this all you have not realizing the potential
02:20 that's hidden in a seed.
02:23 Wow. So seeds...
02:25 I wonder why do seeds come...
02:27 Why did God make them in different shapes and sizes?
02:30 You think that has something to do with us today?
02:34 I bet it could be.
02:38 Seeds absolutely come in different shapes and sizes
02:40 but you can't tell by looking at a seed
02:42 what the end product is gonna be.
02:44 Like, a watermelon seed is black
02:47 but watermelons are green and pink.
02:51 I think of all kinds...
02:53 Banana seed is little brown seed
02:55 but bananas are...
02:56 We hardly see a banana seed.
02:57 Right. We just eat it.
02:59 And but, bananas are bright and yellow
03:02 and God place seeds within each of us.
03:04 There is the seeds of gifts, talents, there is hope,
03:08 there is all kinds of things
03:10 and sometimes it doesn't look like much
03:12 and sometimes people are seeds.
03:13 God places them in our lives
03:15 and we don't see the potential in them
03:17 but in every seed it is bursting with potential.
03:21 The DNA is there, the promises are there,
03:23 the power is there and you give a little time
03:26 and a little nurture is gonna blow your mind.
03:29 Wow.
03:30 Well, so, you've done some study
03:32 into this whole seed thing.
03:34 What can you share with us about each of...
03:37 How can it imply to us?
03:39 Well, I think, you know,
03:40 the Bible talks about the word being seed
03:44 and a lot of times as we hear various messages
03:48 and what not those are seeds too.
03:51 When we read promises,
03:53 those are seeds that God is giving us.
03:56 And the Bible says that there are different soils
04:01 in Mark Chapter 4, there is the good soil,
04:06 there is the stony soil and what not.
04:08 So when that seed goes out,
04:10 the Bible says that the birds come
04:12 and when Jesus talks about the parable He says,
04:15 actually the enemy comes and tries to steal the seed.
04:20 Sometimes the enemy knows
04:22 how important seeds are more than we do.
04:25 And so as soon as that seed goes out,
04:27 the Bible says that the enemy tries to snatch it away
04:30 and in this side we are in charge
04:31 and we are sitting and we are like
04:33 oh, that's a good message
04:34 but we have no idea that that seed
04:36 could change our lives but the enemy does.
04:39 And so immediately, he comes and tries to snatch it from us.
04:43 And so it could be snatched by unbelief or distractions
04:47 or not really believing it
04:48 but if you allow that seed to get in your life
04:51 and you hold on to it, you know, sometimes,
04:55 I can think of several times where God gave me a seed.
04:58 I remember when I was at Oakwood College
05:02 and I was in a choir, and we were going on tour,
05:06 and we will be leaving the country,
05:08 and we had to come up with a lot of money.
05:09 What choir was that? That was Dynamic Praise.
05:11 Oh, yeah, yeah. Dynamic Praise, they were good.
05:13 And so we were going, we are going out on tour
05:16 and we had to come up with this money
05:18 and I was praying and fasting
05:19 because I knew I didn't have the money.
05:21 And I'm praying and fasting.
05:22 I'm like, Lord, please, I really want to go.
05:25 And so after my fast is over, I checked my mailbox
05:28 and there is $30 in the mail.
05:31 And I said, well, praise the Lord God,
05:35 $30 is a nice little thing but I said,
05:39 but Jesus You're gonna have to give me $30 every day
05:43 until the trip to make up.
05:46 And the next day I went to my mailbox
05:50 and there was $30 there.
05:53 Wow.
05:54 Another $30? Another $30.
05:57 So now I hadn't had money in little while
06:00 so I took $15 of that $30 and I went to Wal-Mart
06:04 and bought, you know, Tide and things
06:06 to wash my clothes and I said, okay, Jesus,
06:09 tomorrow I may need 45.
06:11 The $30 plus the 15.
06:15 I promise you when I went to my mailbox
06:18 there was $45 in.
06:21 And so from the beginning when God sent that seed,
06:25 God often sends little seeds and then you think,
06:28 oh, this is too little, we can't do anything with it.
06:31 And, you know, but sometimes
06:34 when you see even something small
06:35 you could say, okay, God, thank You.
06:37 You heard me, you sent it
06:39 because the people sent the money
06:41 before I even prayed.
06:43 He knew I was gonna pray.
06:44 "Before you call, I will answer,
06:47 and while you yet speaking, I will hear."
06:49 And so God did that
06:50 and He continued every single day
06:53 until I got my money, $30 day after day after day.
06:57 Are you serious? I'm serious as a heart attack.
06:59 You did ask Him for $30 every day
07:02 and He did that for you everyday?
07:05 Yeah, when I got the seed of $30 and I was hoping for,
07:08 I would have taken a million dollars
07:09 from the gig go but He gave something little.
07:13 And in Zechariah it talks about
07:14 do not despise small beginnings.
07:17 And so God gave me that little seed
07:19 and instead of being upset about it,
07:21 I said, fine, keep this up, I'll take it every day
07:24 until You get me to where I need to go and I praise God
07:27 and I have never ever forgotten that.
07:29 And so there are other times when I've gotten a chance
07:31 to interact with seeds.
07:33 So when I see seeds they excite me.
07:35 When I see people who don't look like much
07:38 and maybe people want to throw them away
07:40 or I see young people who are not getting good grades
07:44 or making bad decisions but I see the potential.
07:47 I know there is a seed in there and I know everything.
07:50 The wonderful thing about a seed,
07:51 everything the seed needs to become that mighty tree,
07:55 everything the seed needs to become fruitful,
07:58 to become strong and juicy or whatever
08:01 everything is already in that little dry looking nut.
08:06 It doesn't look like much,
08:07 everything it needs is already there
08:09 written in there.
08:10 When I look at people...
08:12 There are people who are watching now,
08:13 who people have told them oh, you are nobody,
08:16 you never gonna make it.
08:17 They are seeds
08:19 and God has deposited something in them.
08:22 And everything they need
08:23 God has already written in and on them
08:25 and He just wants to pull it out.
08:27 That's what excites me first in Philippians 1:6, it says,
08:32 "He who begun a good work in you
08:34 will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ."
08:36 He began it when He did the seed.
08:38 He says I'm gonna perform that work,
08:40 I'm gonna pull it out of you if you just stick with Me
08:44 and go with Me.
08:45 That is amazing that you are saying that
08:48 in every seed there is the...
08:51 God has placed that everything that the seed needs to grow.
08:55 Yes. And do all seeds grow the same?
09:00 Do they grow at the same rate?
09:02 No.
09:03 That they do not do. You know, I...
09:07 In California lots of people have fruit trees
09:09 and I really want fruit trees
09:12 but I'm intimidated by the time it takes fruit to grow.
09:18 You can plant a seed and you will get fruit
09:20 for like seven years or something
09:21 and I'm like that's doing too much.
09:24 And so there's many times where
09:26 and I've been fussing about this for 11 years,
09:29 I could have planted a seed and have fruit by that.
09:31 They have grown and harvested that.
09:33 Absolutely.
09:34 And so a lot of times and, you know, in the Bible it says,
09:37 "By their fruit they will know them."
09:39 A lot of times we plant seeds.
09:40 You know, little beans they sprout up in two weeks.
09:43 And so we want those quick, fast and hurry seeds
09:45 but sometimes got things that take longer are better.
09:51 I love fruit more than beans
09:52 all day long and I think that that's something
09:55 that we need to remember that some things take time,
09:58 fruit takes time.
10:00 In California we have the sequoias,
10:02 we have the redwoods.
10:03 These are thousands of years growing,
10:07 they have trees that are like 2,000 years old
10:09 and they are huge and it didn't happen overnight,
10:13 it did not happen overnight.
10:14 And so it absolutely takes,
10:18 it absolutely takes a lot more time
10:20 for certain things.
10:22 But most of the time it's worth the wait.
10:23 Wow!
10:25 So, how is that then we know it now,
10:27 we got this gift, you shared with us
10:29 that God gives us each a seed.
10:31 Is there anything that we can do
10:34 to help the seed grow?
10:36 Is there anything that we could do
10:39 to stop the seed from growing?
10:41 Is there any part that we have to play in?
10:44 Absolutely, I absolutely believe so.
10:47 When Jesus talks about the Parable of the Sower,
10:52 one immediately the enemy is gonna come
10:54 and try to take that word.
10:56 And so there could be somebody who decides to accept Jesus
10:59 as their Lord and Savior.
11:01 And the Bible says that "If anyone is in Christ
11:03 are new creature, old things are passed away
11:05 and behold, all things are new."
11:07 That is a wonderful promise that is the seed of the word.
11:11 Now the enemy is gonna come minutes later and say,
11:16 don't believe that.
11:17 That was written for church people,
11:19 it wasn't written for somebody like you.
11:21 Don't believe that word because you are pretty bad
11:24 and it's not gonna count for you.
11:25 You are gonna stay broke down and messed up.
11:30 And so that's the enemy coming in
11:31 to try to take that word.
11:33 And so when that happens,
11:35 you have to resist, the Bible says,
11:37 "Resist the devil, he will flee from you."
11:39 Lot of times we run from the devil
11:40 because we don't know the power we have.
11:43 And so resist the devil, say no.
11:45 The Word of God says that I'm a new creature
11:47 that old things are passed away.
11:50 So when the old things come back to your mind like
11:53 well, you used to do this and you used to do that,
11:55 you have e to resist that and begin to believe
11:57 the truth of God's word
11:59 as opposed to the facts of your existence
12:01 'cause a lot of times people get the truth
12:03 and the facts mixed up.
12:06 We look at the facts,
12:07 we go to the doctor and they say,
12:09 well, fact is your, your blood pressure is this
12:14 or your T-cell count is this or whatever,
12:16 these are the facts but the truth,
12:19 the Bible says that
12:20 by Christ stripes we are healed.
12:22 And so we have to decide what we are gonna believe.
12:26 Are we gonna believe that God is a healer
12:28 and that he came with the prayer of faith
12:30 will save the sick
12:31 or are we gonna believe the doctor said,
12:33 you are gonna die nothing can help you.
12:36 They have studies on prayer, they say they don't help,
12:39 they don't do anything.
12:41 So and its research so it's "truth"
12:44 I mean, it's "facts."
12:45 And so you have to decide what you are gonna believe.
12:47 And so, as seeds come in your life,
12:50 you can resist the lies of the enemy and then...
12:55 So you get through and you say, you know what, devil,
12:58 I'm not listening to you.
12:59 The Bible says that I am a new creature
13:03 that Christ has made me new and so then you go, right.
13:07 The next part the Bible talks about
13:10 is then there is all kinds of tribulation that comes.
13:16 And the Bible literally says because of the word,
13:18 because of the seed,
13:20 Jesus says that the word and seed are the same.
13:22 So tribulation arises because of the word.
13:26 Okay, let me understand that.
13:27 You are saying that the Bible says
13:29 that the word and the seed are exactly the same,
13:34 it's not like talents.
13:36 It's the Word of God put into you that's the seed?
13:40 Yes.
13:41 So when Jesus tells the story
13:43 and He explains it to His disciples
13:46 and they wanted to know about it
13:48 He tells them in Mark 4:14,
13:53 it says, "The sower sows the word."
13:56 So He told the story already, He said the sower sows seed.
13:59 And then with His disciples in their life
14:01 what's going on tell us about that again,
14:03 we didn't understand it.
14:05 Then He says, "The sower sows the word."
14:07 So that seed that the sower was sowing is actually word.
14:10 And so this word is going out. So as the sower...
14:16 And what I love about that is often times as preachers,
14:20 as missionaries, as teachers when the word goes forward,
14:25 sometimes it doesn't produce the harvest
14:27 that we were hoping and we thought well,
14:30 maybe I didn't do something, right.
14:31 Maybe I didn't do it right or something
14:34 but it's still the same
14:36 no matter where the seed fell, the word was good,
14:39 the seed was good.
14:41 It wasn't about the seed, it was about where it fell,
14:45 and what the soils allowed to take place when it fell.
14:50 And so the very next verse it talks about
14:54 when Satan comes immediately he tries to take the word
14:57 that was sown in their heart.
15:00 And then verse 17 it says, so the Satan comes
15:04 and then the next one it falls on stony ground.
15:07 When they hear the word, they receive it with gladness
15:09 but then they have no root in themselves
15:12 because tribulation or persecution arises
15:15 for the word sake.
15:17 Right. Because of the word.
15:19 So that word is so good
15:21 but now tribulation is gonna come.
15:23 So trials are gonna come.
15:24 You say, I'm gonna follow Christ
15:26 but now your old friends are persecuting you,
15:31 or now you have problems on your job
15:33 because you are trying to follow what God has said.
15:36 And so now that persecution is arising because of the word.
15:41 And you are gonna think, I should give this up.
15:44 It's not worth it.
15:45 I came, I'm trying to do things right
15:48 and everything is turning out wrong.
15:51 And that is another way
15:53 that you can let go of that thing
15:55 but if you hold on to that seed, I mean,
15:58 if you get through it and you keep reading,
16:03 you will see wonderful things will take place.
16:06 If you get through the trials and the tribulation,
16:09 then the Bible talks about riches and all kinds of so.
16:13 So if the enemy can't get you with scarcity and drama,
16:17 then he may give you abundance.
16:19 And you're like, you know what,
16:21 I don't need the word
16:22 because I just got a million dollar contract
16:23 or whatever.
16:25 I really don't need Jesus to make my livelihood
16:27 because something else can do it
16:30 and that is just another distraction
16:33 and cares of the world
16:34 are trying to choke out the seed.
16:36 But if you hold on and say come,
16:39 no matter what comes or the tribulation
16:42 or the abundance, scarcity whatever,
16:44 I'm holding on to the Word of God.
16:47 The Bible says that it will bear fruit
16:50 30, 60 or 100 fold.
16:53 So if you just hold on, it will explode
16:56 and bring the wonderful promise that God has.
16:59 So you may not feel new at the beginning, you may not,
17:01 it may not seem new at the beginning
17:04 but if you just hold on
17:05 that thing is going to explode so much
17:07 so that people won't even remember.
17:10 You will be talking to people and they'll be like, really,
17:12 that happened to you?
17:13 You used to be that? You used to do that?
17:16 Honey, you don't even look like what you've been through,
17:19 God will do that and it's through His power,
17:22 His spirit and His word.
17:24 So I'm wondering now, you know,
17:25 you hear people say about a word of knowledge,
17:28 maybe something that's coming from a wise counselor
17:31 or a pastor or a teacher or from an evangelist
17:37 or just the person who has lived their life
17:39 is it his death also potentially a seed if it's...
17:43 Could that be a seed in a person's life?
17:45 Absolutely.
17:47 I believe, I absolutely believe that it could be
17:51 but of course, you want to know
17:54 where you are getting your seeds from.
17:56 Okay, so that is a match up
17:57 to the Word of God is what you are saying.
17:59 Absolutely. Absolutely.
18:01 You know, my kids often times when we have fruit,
18:04 they often want to take the seeds from the fruit
18:08 that we bought from the store and go plant them outside
18:11 and what they don't know is that those won't grow.
18:14 A lot of the, a lot of the seeds,
18:16 and you don't understand that they are bearing
18:19 and so it looks good for a second
18:21 but it won't really grow.
18:23 You have to get other seeds that will plant.
18:26 Some will but a lot of them are...
18:28 Right.
18:29 They have been refrigerated, they have been treated
18:31 and it brings up a whole another issue there.
18:33 And they are hybrids... Right, exactly.
18:35 And so absolutely
18:37 but you have to know who you're talking to.
18:40 So just anybody can walk up to me
18:42 and say that they have a word from the Lord,
18:45 but if there is somebody who...
18:48 that you know, you can see their fruits,
18:50 that you know, it's connected to the spirit of God.
18:54 Absolutely God gives us...
18:57 God speaks through people
18:58 and He grants us wisdom through them.
19:02 So would God ever have somebody say something
19:06 that's different than what that counter
19:09 or that would be against what's in the Bible?
19:11 Oh, no.
19:13 That would be considered a seed, a true seed.
19:15 Well, man should not live by bread alone
19:19 but every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
19:21 So we know that the seed is the word
19:23 and so if somebody...
19:25 So I could be speaking seed
19:27 but I better be speaking the word
19:29 and when you hear the word, then you know,
19:31 oh, okay, that's right,
19:33 that is based on the Word of God.
19:37 So if somebody is not speaking
19:38 and they desire to have a new knowledge
19:40 that you've never heard of before,
19:43 it's never been in the word of God
19:44 because even Jesus the Christ,
19:47 He said I'm not telling you anything new.
19:49 The prophets, the law,
19:51 they all testified about me even what He said
19:55 jived with the Word of God.
19:57 And so that's so important.
20:00 So now I want to ask you another question.
20:01 You hear people about sowing seeds,
20:03 sowing seeds into a ministry, sowing seeds for prosperity,
20:07 sowing seeds is that, is there anyway...
20:11 Is that spoken of in the Bible?
20:13 Is that the same seed we are speaking up here?
20:16 Well, I mentioned that there are several seeds
20:19 so it actually is spoken of it in the Bible.
20:25 In 2 Corinthians 9
20:29 the Bible talks about being a cheerful giver
20:31 and the Bible says that God gives bread,
20:34 He gives His bread and He give seed to the sower.
20:37 And so there are verses
20:40 that do talk about being generous and giving.
20:44 I think there are sometimes
20:46 some of the things that we've heard
20:48 have been a gross building of scripture.
20:54 And so I think once again
20:56 you have to look at where it's coming from.
20:59 God always, He allows us to give
21:02 and there are promises related.
21:04 He said, test Me, try Me and this and see if I...
21:07 you know, giving your tithe and offerings.
21:09 Right.
21:10 But now somebody is saying,
21:12 you know, send me $5 and I will pray for you or say,
21:16 you know, usually it's not $5
21:18 it's like a thousand or something like that.
21:21 You know, the Bible even talks about that
21:23 there was Simon the sorcerer
21:26 who wanted to buy the Holy Spirit
21:28 and Paul said, you are gonna perish with,
21:31 you and your money will perish
21:33 because you don't know what you are talking about.
21:35 The Spirit of God is not bought or sold
21:39 so given freely, and so a lot of times
21:42 people may try to pint the gospel
21:46 and I don't think that that is at all
21:48 what God is talking about
21:49 and that's not what I'm talking about.
21:50 However you can sow seeds and you can sow,
21:55 you know, Paul did talk about it
21:57 in 2 Corinthians 9.
22:00 So we've covered the sowing of seeds
22:04 coming from the Holy Spirit
22:06 and every seed has every single thing
22:09 that it needs to be able to grow.
22:12 We've talked about how the enemy takes
22:15 could, can if we allow him
22:17 to where he attempts to take our seeds
22:20 that God has given us
22:21 and try to scatter them at some place or to steal them,
22:24 actually steal them, he is a robber.
22:27 Then we've talked about good seeds
22:29 that could be sown in from other people
22:32 that match up to the Word of God.
22:34 And then our own seeds in a positive way
22:37 that could actually go for good things.
22:42 I want to talk about the 100 fold now.
22:44 We all want to be able to be blessed.
22:46 We all want to be able to have
22:48 our little, tiny little bit of seed grow,
22:51 how can we do that?
22:53 You know, I actually think it's up to God.
22:56 I actually think that
22:59 because it says some were 30, some were 60,
23:02 some were 100 fold.
23:04 Right, so everybody is trying to get to 100 fold.
23:06 Isn't that why people play the lottery?
23:08 Some people say, well, that's gonna be my little seed,
23:10 I'm gonna go ahead there
23:12 and hopefully I'll get a 100 fold,
23:13 is that what we...
23:15 We are not really talking about that...
23:16 No, that's not we are talking about.
23:17 Not that they will fill it out
23:19 because so many people say that,
23:20 they're throwing their little seed out there
23:21 to the lottery.
23:23 Oh, yeah.
23:24 So clearly we are not talking about that at all.
23:26 Right.
23:27 We are talking about the ones that God can bless
23:28 and you are saying that it's up to God
23:30 whether it's 30, 60 or 100.
23:33 Okay, well, that's your more than double,
23:35 is that right?
23:36 Thirty is auto max,
23:38 so you mean to tell me that every seed
23:39 that God sows into my life is gonna be more than double?
23:42 It's gonna be like 30 times,
23:45 it's gonna be a whole lot more than what I've got.
23:47 I mean, we see that in nature when you take one apple seed,
23:52 you get an apple tree
23:54 which may give you more than 30 apples,
23:57 300 apples
23:58 and in that those 300 apples are 30 seeds.
24:04 Well, maybe 10 seeds and in each of those,
24:07 and so you can just take one seed
24:08 and it will continue to multiply
24:11 and expand and expand.
24:13 And so that's the God that we serve.
24:16 He is super abundant, super generous
24:19 and He blesses us with that.
24:21 However we are in a society, I don't know about you.
24:24 I mean, you can barely buy grapes
24:26 with seeds in them.
24:28 You know, we are a seedless society.
24:30 We despise seeds, we don't like seeds.
24:33 We want seedless oranges, seedless grapes,
24:36 seedless watermelons
24:37 but the potential, the growth is in the seed.
24:40 And so just because that seed is there,
24:42 it does not mean it's going to do anything in your life.
24:45 You do have to work the seed,
24:47 you have to plant it and grow it.
24:49 You have to protect it.
24:51 If you spit it out, if you throw it away,
24:53 then you are missing out.
24:56 There was a mother, she had two boys
25:00 and there was a option they had,
25:03 one could have one of her wonderful apple pies
25:07 and one could just have a plain old apple.
25:10 And so of course, she let the oldest pick first
25:12 and he pick the beautiful, delicious apple pie
25:16 and the other one, the baby got the apple.
25:19 And you know, he felt some kind of way
25:20 about that at first.
25:22 But while his brother was getting all those calories
25:25 in eating that apple pie,
25:27 he took the seeds in that apple and began to plant them.
25:30 And eventually he had an apple orchid
25:33 and what he was angry about at first
25:37 because he thought he got jilted
25:39 with just the plain old apple.
25:41 Because he was able to recognize
25:43 the power in those seeds
25:44 and to put the hard work behind it
25:47 and begin to do it,
25:48 his life changed.
25:50 Wow. Wow, that's amazing.
25:52 So there is with the seed
25:54 growing up that makes more seeds,
25:57 countless seeds.
25:59 Absolutely.
26:00 Oh, wow, what those seeds.
26:02 Dr. King, I wonder if you can pray with us
26:04 for those, just for all of us
26:06 who wanted really be able to have those seeds
26:09 planted by the Holy Spirit in us
26:11 to be able to just grow and multiply.
26:14 Now before I pray, can I just say one thing?
26:16 Yes, yes.
26:18 Because the seed is word
26:19 so we have to make sure we get some word.
26:22 You know, we may want things in our lives to multiply
26:26 but this prayer will be specific
26:27 that the word of God multiples all of them.
26:30 And he has wonderful promises and so,
26:32 and so I would love for even our listeners
26:35 and our viewers
26:36 to take some time and get in the word
26:38 and see what God has said,
26:40 so that it could began to expand in their lives.
26:42 Amen. Okay.
26:44 Our gracious heavenly, Father, God,
26:45 we thank You that you are great God
26:47 that You are generous God
26:49 and we thank you oh God, for the seeds
26:51 that You've placed in our lives.
26:53 Father, we thank You that you said that
26:54 if anyone is in Christ they're new creature,
26:57 old things are passed away
26:58 and behold all things become new.
27:01 There are some people watching right now
27:03 wondering if they could have a new start,
27:05 if they could have a new life
27:06 and through Jesus Christ they can.
27:09 Father, in the name of Jesus
27:10 I pray that You would touch them,
27:11 that you would bless them.
27:13 That you would allow them to experience Your hope,
27:15 Your joy, Your peace, oh God.
27:17 I pray that the seeds that You have planted
27:20 that You will cause them to explode, oh, God.
27:22 You who began this good work in each of us
27:24 perform it until the day of Jesus Christ,
27:27 so that when Jesus Christ comes again,
27:30 we will be able to say
27:31 this is our God we waited for Him,
27:33 He will save us
27:34 and we will be ready
27:36 for that great getting up in morning.
27:37 In the name of Jesus we pray, amen.
27:40 Amen. Amen. Thank you so much for coming.
27:43 Thank you. We appreciate it.
27:44 It's such a blessing. Thank you so very much.
27:48 Well, for those of you
27:49 we just really want to thank you
27:51 so much for joining.
27:52 Wasn't this a powerful program?
27:53 It was for me
27:55 just to know that God plants in each one of us a seed,
27:59 a powerful personal opportunity to grow,
28:05 to flourish, to become more
28:08 than what that little tiny seed looks like on the outside.
28:12 May that be a prayer for each one of us
28:14 that we will be that seed today in the name of Jesus.
