Sowing Into the Spirit

Listen to the Audio

Quick Summary

The Spring is the time to plant seeds and Galatians 6 tells us that the one who sows to please the spirit will reap a harvest of eternal life. By grace God has equipped us with everything we need and we are supposed to trust and rely on his grace to empower us to do good and sow into pleasing his spirit.  The way we do this is by cherishing God and people, the real treasures of heaven.

As we do good and sow into our relationships with God and people it is building and storing up treasure in the unseen realm, which will produce an abundant harvest at the proper time.

We can sow...

• God's word into our hearts so that it comes into our minds and out of our mouths when we need it. 
• Into walking out God's plan and purpose for our lives which allows him to lead us to a better place. 
• Into obedience to God's word.
• Into loving people with kindness, gentleness, encouragement, time, presence, listening, finances, and other resources.
• Into doing good for others and walking in forgiveness even when they wrong us because we trust God's grace is more than enough and he will take care of us.

God's grace is meant to empower us to sow into relationships and do it cheerfully and joyfully because we are relying on him. As we do this God causes the seeds to grow in the unseen realm which leads to an abundant harvest if we don't give up. If you ever get discouraged look back at all that God has done for you and how far he has brought you.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I pray for all those watching, listening, or reading and their families, friends, and all those connected to us, and our church and governmental leaders.

Thank you for releasing us from darkness and transferring us into the light, into the kingdom of your dear son. Thank you for your purpose and grace given to us in Christ Jesus before time began. 

I ask that you the father of glory would give us the spirit of wisdom and revelation so we would know you better. That the eyes of our hearts would be enlightened to know the hope to which you have called us, and the riches of your glorious inheritance that is in us, and the immeasurable greatness of your power to us who believe. The same power that you exercised in Christ when you raised him from the dead, and seated him at your right hand in heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion,and every name that is named. Not only in this age but also in the one to come. And you put all things under his feet and made him to be the head of all things for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all. 

Heavenly Father, bless us and make your face shine upon us. Let us find grace and favor in your eyes.Expand our borders and our territory. Expand our capacity to receive your purpose and grace, and all that you want to do in our lives, and to let it flow through us so that we do good and are a blessing to people all over the world. Keep your hand on us and help us do TODAY what is right and best in your eyes. And to do it with peace and joy, and confidence in you. And as we do stretch out your hand to heal and do signs and wonders. And keep us from evil and pain. 

Through the mighty name of Jesus. Amen
