The Cool Thing About Walking Things Out

The seeds of plants are below the ground, protected, safe, and often hidden. If one were to look only at the surface level of the earth, they might see nothing productive. Just some old dirt. Nothing fancy.

But below the superficial level is life, waiting, burgeoning with potential and purpose. All it needs to manifest are the right conditions.

But herein lies the issue. What happens if the conditions aren’t right? Nothing can successfully grow in a hostile environment. If you plant a seed that flourishes in cool temperatures in a place that is arid and hot, you cannot expect it to produce very much, and certainly not a crop of a hundredfold.

In the Earth, the only solution to this is to plant seeds that belong in cold environments in cold places. Either that or you can create an artificial environment—such as a greenhouse—to mimic the ideal environment in which a seed might produce life. Yet, such an artificial place is quite limiting. Taking the plant outside the greenhouse would kill it, and it will never know a free life.

However, in the Spirit, the solution to this issue is to actually change the environment. Because Yahweh has a place He wants a seed to grow, and He will not just give up on that place because the conditions are not yet ideal. In fact, He has the power to change the conditions and create a place where the seed of His Spirit can and does flourish.

That place is your heart. Your heart, the place where Yahweh always meant to marry seed and soil, Word and Faith, and create life. Yahweh knows what seeds to plant in what soil, and only together can they be made perfect.

But your heart, if you’ve been alive for enough time that you can actually read what I’m writing, had been corrupted. Somewhere along the line, a sickly seed was planted in your heart and it was allowed to grow, but the soil in which this seed would thrive could only be corrupt soil, and so this seed corrupted the soil of your heart as it grew. Soon, more corrupted seeds were attracted to and planted in your heart.  And that seemed to be all that would or ever could grow there.

But there, all the time, waiting below the surface, was the incorruptible seed of Yahweh’s Word, which lives and abides forever. Waiting all the time for the ideal conditions to manifest so that it could be made known.

And Yahweh raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in heavenly places so that He could show the riches of His grace to the coming ages. That He might make the seed known.

And all that needs to happen for these countless Words that now reside in your heart’s soil is that Yahweh change the environment. No, it won’t be easy. It is painful and hard. But it is worth it. Because there, down deep, is the Word of Yahweh…waiting.

Because there, down deep, is life.

Because there, down deep, is Christ.

Waiting.

On you.

Some Words manifest before others, because of timing and environment. Certain seeds can grow in various climates. Others are to grow only in specific conditions. Only when we have fully realized the change in the environment of our hearts will every seed manifest. And the fullness of Christ blooms within us.
