HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I pray that you are blessed and highly favored of our Lord Jesus Christ, as you follow after Him.
 
(Matthew 13:3-9), And He told them many things in parables, saying A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and ate them up.  Other seed fell on rocky ground, where they had not much soil; and at once they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil.  But when the sun rose, they were scorched and because they had no root, thy dried up and withered away.  Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them out.  Other seeds fell on good soil, and yielded grain some a hundred times as much as was sown, some sixty times as much and some thirty. (Amp. Parallel Bible).

Some of you hear the word but do not understand what God is speaking to you.  Therefore you are not able to hold on to the Word of God spoken over your life.  You come before God and sit in the congregation acting like you got it all together, but it comes in one ear and goes out the other, and makes no impression.  You say that God knows your heart, this is true, and Satan also knows your heart.  If the things of the world are not broken up in your heart, then your heart will not be prepared to receive and heed to the Word of God.  You must cover the seed (the Word spoken) after hearing the Word of God by meditation and prayer.
 
Rocky Ground, Some of you have a good impressions of the Word of God, but it is not lasting.  You are glad to hear a good sermon, but you will not profit by it.  Your heart may melt under the word, but you still  have no firm resolution in your will or emotions.  Inwardly you are no more affected than a stone; After hearing the Word of God, you are still not united to Christ who is our Root; you still don't fully trust in Him.  In worldly terms (you are hard-headed).  You might be able to endure in the storm for awhile, but in the end, you will be swallowed up by the devil because you lack roots.  The Word of God, just fell on a hard head.  God knows that you only have a form of godliness and so does Satan.  Satan seeing you as having only a form of godliness he easily swallows up your seeds.
 
Thorns,   I call this stage, just a little stuck.  You are at the stage where you are constantly getting stuck by thorns in your life.  These thorns hurt when you try to get pass them.  Just like rose bushes if you brush up against them you get stuck.  No kind of thorn feels good.  When you get stuck by a thorn, it is human nature for you to look at the spot where you were stuck.  The longer you stay focus on the thorn, you are not fully put your faith in God and are not able to cast all your worries on Him; therefore falling short of benefitting from the Word of God.  You are built up in church service by the Word of God, but you are still being overcome by the things of the world.  Worldly cares are compared to thorns; they are  entangling, vexing, scratching, and their end is to be burned.  Toxic and relationships seems to be the main thing that keeps us women from moving away from those thorns.  These thorns choke the good seed.  You have good seed sowed into your spirit, but those thorns (worldly people, places and things) are great hindrances to your moving into God' purpose for your life. 
 
Good Ground: Fruitfulness.  A true woman of God bears good fruit.  This does not mean that you will not have stones in it, or no thorns, but because you have hidden the Word of God in your heart and planted the Word of God on good ground nothing will be able to hinder your fruit from growing.  A woman bearing good fruit can always feed another woman.  Other women should be able to draw from and eat from the fruits that you bare.  You cannot feed another woman if your fruit is rotten (bad attitude, gossiping, whoremonger, deceitful and lying spirit).  A woman that has sowed seed on good ground is not perfectly free from the remains of sin, but happily freed from the reign of it; meaning you don't quickly run towards sin.  You understand the sense and meaning of the Word of God and take care of the seed that God has planting in you.  With your fruit right, and your heart honest, your return from God will be hundred, sixty or thirty-fold.  Your fruitfulness will graciously accepted by God.  PRAISE GOD!

CHARACTER TRAITS

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I thank God for each of you daily, and pray that you have had and are still having a learning and growing experience since you have been reading my blog spot.

For this reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.  For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. . . . . For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2Peter 5-8, 10).

Woman of God, you should have so much faith in God, that it brings about the goodness in your character.  The goodness in your character should bring about more knowledge of who Christ is and should be in your daily life.  Self-control can be obtained by knowledge.  You should strive to the point in your life where your gain so much knowledge through the Word of God that you will have self-control.  Self-control when people or circumstances in your life takes a different route than you planned.  With this self-control (able to control your emotions), you will preserver through life's difficult situations.  The obstacles that Satan puts in your path to destroy your character.  Although the enemy has put so many obstacles in your life you will preserver through them because of the godliness that you have developed.  That godliness brings about the brotherly kindness in you and ultimately produces the love that you have for yourself and people.  That love is the primarily reason for your everyday living.

If you are equipped with those characteristics in your every being you will be effective and productive when it comes to in your knowledge of Christ.  You will be effective and productive in your prayer life, and spiritual well-being.  You cannot fail with those characteristics because it will bring about the presence of the Holy Spirit.  With the presence of the Holy Spirit in your everyday life there is no failure.  There is no failure in Christ.  You should desire each one of those character traits in you.  In doing so, you work on one at a time.  This is definitely a process but attainable.  Set goals in your life to work on each of those traits and before you even realize it; you will be so powerful in Christ Jesus.  I say the word powerful, because you will need all the power and strength to fight the enemy and any obstacles that he will put in your path.  This lesson may be a little deep for some of you but I promise you that you can grow spiritually if you work hard at attaining those character traits.  LET UP PRAY!

Heavenly Father, we praise and honor you today.  Lord that you give me strength and wisdom as to obtaining the character traits that I should have to become effective in this world and see you in the eternal kingdom.  Lord, I thank you for spiritual growth daily, and I ask you to remove anything in me that you cannot use for your glory.  I marvel you and glorify your holy name, in Jesus name, Amen.
