Secrets from the Garden of Eden

God gives Adam seed

“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” Genesis 1:29

Notice God didn’t give him a few seeds, but he gave Adam all the seed, which is upon the face of the earth. That is trillions and trillions of seeds with unimaginable abilities and power!

God gave Noah a seed in the form of a vessel called an Ark that would take him and all those who believed through the great flood that was coming upon the earth.

God makes a covenant

“And God spake unto Noah, and his sons with him, saying, and I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and your seed after you;” Genesis 9:8-9

Covenant is the strongest agreement; contract between God and man. God never moves contrary to covenant. He binds himself to man through the agency of covenant.

We have not understood the power of covenant with God. But I guarantee you, if you ever borrow money from a bank and don’t pay it back, you will learn quickly, fast, and in a hurry the power of legal agreement called contract, or a binding agreement.

God’s covenant promise to Abraham

God gave Abraham a seed that would be as numerous as the stars of heaven and sand on the seashore.

For example, God said to Abraham:

“And said, by myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.” Genesis 22:15-18

That promise was fulfilled in Jesus Christ coming to earth

According to John 1:1-3,

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him and without was not anything that was made.”

When God said, “Let us make man in our image after our likeness…” Genesis 1:26, we know “God the Word” was part of the equation.

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14

God personally enters into a covenant with man

Mark 14:23-24, “And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take, eat, this is my body.” Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And He said to them, “this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many.”

This is the new covenant that was signed, written, and established upon the blood of God the Word made flesh. What we call a blood covenant.

The covenant is recorded in Matthew 26:26-29, Luke 22:19-20, John 3:56-58; 1 Corinthians 11:23-30

God binds himself to you through covenant based on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

When I first heard the message of God making covenant with man, it was as if someone was speaking in a foreign language. Even after hearing about the covenant and participating in Communion Services, the concept of covenant was still fuzzy until I saw God’s dealings with Abraham. God swore by himself to Abraham because he couldn’t find “a greater” to swear by,

“For when God made a promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware himself, saying, Surely BLESSING I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.” Hebrews 6:13-15

What did Abraham obtain through faith?

The seed!!!

According to Galatians 3:16, Christ was the seed to whom the promises were made. He was the seed sown into the earth through which we became the heirs of salvation!

“And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Galatians 3:29

What promise?

‘I sware by myself that in blessing, I will bless thee and multiplying I will multiply thee and you will possess the gate of your enemies’

For the longest time in my Christian life, this promise of salvation would work periodically. When I look back, I realize I stuck between two systems. I was in the Word of God, and I was in the world. When I came up against any kind of pressure, I ran to my credit cards for relief. I charged up my credit cards until I found myself in the debtor’s prison.

But there was a time when I came out of the debtor’s prison, where I embraced the sworn oath promise of God. I plead my case before God in the presence of my enemy, Satan. I took possession of the promises. And I have been reaping the harvest every since.

The best illustration that I know to help others to realize the gospel message, the word of truth, the seed of the kingdom is; I heard of people who were falsely accused and imprisoned for something they did not do. These people went to the law library in their prisons and studied the law. They became experts in the legal process. They became knowledgeable about the law and were able to defend themselves before a judge in a court of law.

You have to know the word of truth when it comes to claiming the promise(s). Satan will fight you in every way that he can. He will put sickness and disease on you and your children. He will destroy your family and home. Jesus said, ‘The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, but I am come that they might have life and have it more abundantly.’

1 John 3:8 says, ‘the Son of God was manifested to destroy the works of the devil’

The promise is, ‘I will bless you, I will multiply you, you will possess the gate of your enemies; which is the promise of deliverance, help, breakthroughs, miracles, wisdom, knowledge, etc…

Satan is destroying people’s lives through the fentanyl trade, but the promise is,

“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with my righteousness right hand.” Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)

Satan can not handle the pressure of the word of God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you, James 4:7

“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.” Romans 16:20

Plead the blood of the Jesus Christ, the blood of the Covenant of Grace!!!

Grace and Peace!!!

God is the originator of all things.

God created seed on the third day of creation

Two characteristics of seed among many things; seed is a container that transmits life (Genesis 1:12- “whose seed was in itself”).

Blueprint

Seed is a blueprint (Genesis 1:12- “after his kind). God put the blueprint of creation inside of seed.

Sin marred the creation patterns of seed. Jesus, after his resurrection, entered into the Garden of Eden, the place where the original sin was committed at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. With his own blood in hand, he cleansed Adam’s sin, see Hebrews 8:2; 19-24. He has made all things new.

“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh.” Hebrews 10:19-20

Partnership-

God works out of partnership, community which is to say, you are not alone. God us with you. God us for you. God is working in your midst.

“Let us make man in our image after our likeness”, Genesis 1:26

“And the LORD God said, it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them…” Genesis 2:18-19

Management

Man was created to be a servant. God gave him an assignment to manage the earth. To make earth the Garden center of the universe.

God created the earth to self sustainable. He even created man’s body to be self sustainable.

“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” Genesis 1:28

God has taken trillions and trillions and trillions of seed and dispersed them abroad, 2 Corinthians 9:9

These seeds are opportunities that contain blueprints.

We are blueprints- created in his image after his likeness.

“Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.” 1 John 3:9-10.

“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” 1 Peter 1:23

“And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him.” Colossians 3:10.

Let’s continue to pray for those afflicted by the fentanyl crisis. Remember, every prayer is a seed sown.

GrCe & peace!

Seed leaves a mark

I’m on my fourth day of sweeping up the parking lot. One thing I noticed about seed is that it leaves a mark. Never underestimate the power of seed. So many people want the blessings of God on their lives but don’t recognize the value of seed that lays around them.

Mysteries of the kingdom of heaven

“He answered and said unto them, Because It is given unto you know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, BUT to them it is not given.” Matthew 13:11

“For whosoever hath (mysteries) to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not (mysteries), from him shall be taken away even that he hath.” Matthew 13:12

The difference between those granted access to the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven and those denied its treasures is choice. Jesus said the reason they can’t see or hear is because their hearts are gross, and they have closed their ears.

It literally comes down to choice, making a quality decision to receive and act upon the word of God. For example,

Jesus said, “When ANY ONE heareth the word of the kingdom…” Matthew 13:19

In Mark 4:26, “And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground.”

Mark 4:30-32, “And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: but when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.”

The kingdom of God is like the smallest of seed that makes the greatest of impact.

“Because that which may be known of God is manifesting in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.” Romans 1:19

The kingdom of God is a partnership between God and man. God pledges through covenant to extend to you his grace and mercy. He makes his power available to you through faith in Jesus Christ!

How great is his power? The Bible tells us that God’s eternal power is clearly seen by creation (Romans 1:20). Recently, I shared an article on this blog site, June 14th from Live Science, called, “Flare of light brighter than a trillion sun’s reveals location of rare double black hold galaxy.”

🌞

God, in the beginning, said “light Be…” and light was…’ Imagine light brighter than a trillion suns! Are there any impossibilities with God?

It all starts with a seed.

Jesus said,

“But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it: which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” Matthew 13:23

Luke 8:15 adds greater insight concerning what the soil is, that the seed is to be sown into!

“But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.”

Pray for those addicted to fentanyl.

Join me daily in one hour of prayer for deliverance and healing for those addictedto fentanyl..

As you sow your seeds of prayer, particularly those who are related to a person addicted to fentanyl, as well as those who are standing in agreement for a breakthrough in this crisis; know your labor is going to be rewarded!

Here is a promise, 2 Corinthians 9:6

“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall REAP also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall REAP also BOUNTIFULLY.”

EVERY MAN according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.givers. And God is able to MAKE all GRACE ABOUND toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in ALL THINGS, MAY ABOUND TO EVERY GOOD WORK.” 2 Corinthians 9:7-9

What is this based on?

“(As it is written, He hath dispersed aboard; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. Now he that ministereth SEED to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply YOUR SEED SOWN, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)” 2 Corinthians 9:9-10.

He dispersed aboard

He gives to the poor

His righteousness remains forever

God broadcast the seeds of good (blessings) tidings even though they fall on hard ground.

God is good to all… Many times, his goodness and mercies aren’t seen or appreciated.

Keep on giving… harvest day is coming!

Grace & peace!

Every time I sweep up the parking lot, a few hours later, there is another fresh batch of raspberries lying on the parking lot cement.

Herein is a powerful truth:

There is no lack. There are trillions and trillions and trillions of seed.

All seeds are supernatural simply because God created seed. Seed has the potential to produce on an infinite scale.

Lack is built into the system of man’s economics. He keeps demand for goods tight. Therefore, he can increase the cost of resources and force people to work his fields.

In God’s system, there is unlimited abundance. As God did in the beginning, He gave Adam dominion over everything that has life in it. He gave Adam seed and the fruit trees.

The truth is, God still provides seed for sowers and bread for our food, and he multiplies the seed we sow and increases the fruits of our righteousness, 2 Corinthians 9:6-10.

God is still planting trees 🌳

Isaiah 61

“The Spirit of the LORD GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captive, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for Mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called tresss of righteousness, the PLANTING of the LORD, that he might be glorified.” Isaiah 61:1-3

The truth is, God never walked away from his creation. He still waters 💧 the earth. He still watches over his creation with living kindness and tender mercies. Jesus said, “He makes the sun rise on the evil as well as the good.

God created man to till the soil, to cultivate the ground, Genesis 2:5. Man was created in the image and likeness of God. One way to look at what the image and likeness of God is is imagine a Ford Mustang with a Volkswagen engine. Doesn’t look right or sound right. The Ford Mustang has a V-8 engine capable of producing 480 horsepower. When you think of a Ford Mustang, the image is muscle car and speed. Whether it’s a Hell Cat or GT. You got the image and the likeness.

Well, when God created man, he created man in his image and likeness. God worked the soil, and man was created to work the soil. And because man is made in the image and likeness of God. He possesses the same abilities to work the soil as God did and does.

In Genesis 2:1-9, God is into working the field, rather its forming a man from the dust of the ground or forming animals from the dust of the ground, Genesis 2:19. He is into planting gardens.

When God planted trees in the Garden of Eden, He planted trees that were pleasant to the eyes and good for good. So the plants were for beauty and utility.

God planted a seed that produced the tree of life in the Garden of Eden. The fruit that makes one’s life an oasis of beauty.

Life is what makes the trees grow, the grass green, and fills the waters with abundance of sea life. Life makes the flowers bud and heals our physical bodies. It is the substance the scriptures call eternal life, the breath of God, rivers of living waters.

This message is directed toward those who believe that they might have confidence in the seed you sow today and will become a mighty harvest in your life and in the lives of others tomorrow!

The promise is,

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepard giveth his life for the sheep.” John 10:10-11

Seed time Harvest

The image above is a picture of seed that fell from a raspberry tree in the back of the office building where I work .

I swept the parking lot three different times, and within a matter of hours, the parking was full of freshly dropped raspberries. There is a large number of raspberries lying on the cement and the ground.

We learned from yesterday’s article that seed transmits life and carries the blueprint of the fruit it was created to reproduce.

We learned that Seed reproduces on an infinite scale. One seed can produce a fruit tree carrying trillions and trillions of seed.

God gave Abraham and Sarah a seed, a son named Isaac, when he was 99 years old and she was 90 years old. God said to them,

“And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy SEED be.” Genesis 15:5

In Genesis 22:15-18, God made a sworn oath promise to bless Abraham and to multiply his SEED as the stars of heaven and as the sand is on the seashore. God said Abraham’s seed would possess the gate of his enemies.

The Seed

“Now to Abraham and HIS SEED were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy SEED, which is Christ.” Galatians 3:16

If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise, Galatians 3:20

Galatians 4:28, “NOW we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of the promise.”

What nobody knew then, God injected himself into the human through the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. God fulfilled the prophetic promise given to Eve. The seed of the woman shall crush the serpent’s head in Genesis 3:15.

What we could not see then, God would recreate himself in man through the new birth, the new creation.

“If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:7

Remember, the characteristics of seed. Seed is a blueprint that transmits life (Genesis 1:12, bear fruit after its kind). Seed is also a container used to transmit life (Genesis 1:12, whose seed is in itself).

Remember also, God planted every tree that was pleasant to the sight and good for food in the Garden of Eden. The trees planted were for beauty and utility.

“WHOSOEVER is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” 1 John 3:9

The Seed, Jesus Christ, through faith in him, God is reproducing both the image and likeness of himself through the fruit of the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit. See John 1:12-13.

So what about the fentanyl crisis 🤔

There are billions of seeds created in the image and likeness of God just waiting to be sown and reaped.

Remember the parable, “the sower sows the word?” Located in Matthew 13:1-43, Mark 4:3-34 and Luke 8:4-15. The SEED, the Word keep in a good and honest heart brings forth 30, 60, and 100 fold more than was sown.

Join me in prayer. Let’s believe God together that a great harvest of souls will be reaped out of the fentanyl crisis. Sow a seed of prayer and reap a harvest of life in your own life.

Commit to praying at least 30 to 60 minutes a day for people addicted to Fentanyl.

Grace & peace!

God provides seed to sowers. Seed planted works every time it is sown. What would happen if everyone viewing this blog made a quality decision to pray for someone addicted to Fentanyl?

What if everyone viewing this blog made a decision to sow one hour of their life praying for a perfect stranger? That seed of faith will be multiplied back to you.

“Be not deceived; God is mocked: for WHATSOEVER a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of his flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” Galatians 6:7-8

The verse 9 reads,

“Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9

Imagine, one hour of prayer for those abusing fentanyl could result in you reaping life… God multiplying your seed sown!

When God wanted a particular outcome, he planted seed.

This image is taken from some of the raspberries that fell in the parking lot. This is a small example of trillions and trillions of seed. There is “unlimited abundance” in seed form. You may not need raspberries, but there is a seed that will meet your needs, and there is an unlimited supply of them.

God planted a garden eastward in Eden. He planted every tree that was pleasant to the eyes and good for food.

The garden served two purposes; beauty and utility. There were two special trees, the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Seed was created with the ability to transmit life according to Genesis 1:12; “whose seed is in itself.”

Seed is a blueprint of the fruit to be produced, according to Genesis 1:12 “after its kind”

God sowed in the garden of Eden, a seed called the tree of life containing the blueprints for fruit that could give eternal life.

He sowed a seed containing the blueprints for the knowledge of good and evil.

The purpose of the tree of life was to give its recipients the ability to live forever. The purpose of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was created to be a sacrifice of worship.

According to Genesis 3:22, after the fall, Adam could have taken fruit from the tree of life and lived forever in a sinful state. We could see what the results would have been like with Adam’s generations living over 900 years. God had to destroy the earth with a flood because man in a sinful state filled the earth with violence, Genesis 6:5-7.

The Serpent 🐍 gained SEED

The Serpent 🐍 gained SEED in the fall of man, according to Genesis 3:14-15

“So the LORD God said to the serpent: because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; on your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between YOUR SEED and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”

Adam’s disobedience opened the door for the Serpent 🐍 to gain seed. Satan next harvest was Cain. Cain murdered his brother Abel, Genesis 4:1-8

How does the Serpent sow seed? Through thoughts and imagination. Sin starts through a thought meditated upon until a person acts upon it.

This is the same process that played out in the garden Eden. The Serpent 🐍 spoke to Eden through words. He directed her attention to the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. She meditated on the thought, and she ate the fruit and gave some to her husband, Genesis 3:1-6.

“And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil CONTINUALLY. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.” Genesis 6:5-6

Satan plants seed

Jesus says the devil has children, and the way that he gets them is through sowing seed, according to Matthew 13:37-39

“He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man. The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; the enemy that SOWED them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.”

If you don’t like the fruit, check the seed sown.

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for WHATSOEVER a man soweth, that shall he reap.” Galatians 6:7-8

If you sow to the fleshly sin, you will reap corruption.

If you sow to the Spirit, you will reap life everlasting…

How can we impact the fentanyl crisis? Seed time, Harvest!

It’s all in the seed

Seed is supernatural!

God reveals himself as a planter of seed. As a sower of seed, as one who works the soil. As one who brings life from the soil. He created us in his image and likeness.

I took this picture yesterday of a parking lot where raspberries had fallen from a raspberry tree. I completely swept up the raspberries. Less than 24 later, I took another picture of the same area. God provides seed to sowers. Read my post from yesterday!

Seed time Harvest is God’s method of doing things.

He formed man from the dust of the ground, Genesis 2:7.

Is it possible that he took water and mixed its soil, forming man’s body?

Then he breathed his breath into Adam, the breath of life, and man became a living soul.

“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Genesis 2:7

“And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he HAD FORMED. AND OUT OF THE GROUD MADE the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.”Genesis 2:7-9

“AND OUT OF THE GROUND the LORD God FORMED every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air…” Genesis 2:19

He is the Lord of the harvest, Luke 10:2

He is the husband

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and very branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.” John 15:1-2

A husbandman is one who cultivates the land. A farmer.

There was not a man to till the ground, Genesis 2:7

God created man in his image and likeness to work the soil.

“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” Genesis 1:29

The seeds are bearing seed and yielding seed. The actual definition of bearing and yielding seed is seeding seed. “The seed is in itself” Genesis 1:12. In other words, God chose seed to transmit life. The seed contains the blueprints for manifesting life.”

There are different forms of seed, seed of man, herbal, and fruit seed. The word of God is liken to incorruptible seed. The kingdom of God is liken to seed. The tree of life started in seed form when God planted in the garden of Eden.

There are different forms of seed, but the principles are the same! Seed time harvest!

You may not need raspberries, God provides seed to sowers.

“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall REAP also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall also REAP bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful givers. And God is able to make ALL GRACE ABOUND toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in ALL THINGS, MAY ABOUND TO EVERY GOOD WORK.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-8

There is a seed that is key to your need. The truth is there are trillions and trillions of seed. And they are within your reach!
