Planting Seeds: What the Word of God Does for Our Lives

By Lenora Turner

In Genesis 1, God spoke of making (hu)man in his image and after his likeness. In Genesis 2, God formed (hu)man off the dust of the ground and breathe into his nostrils the breath of life. Just as in the beginning, God spoke his word and it became to pass. But when it came to the earth, God spoke that it would bring forth fruit from whatever was planted in it, and whatever grew from what was planted, the seed of it was in the fruit of what would grow. God planted his word and his Spirit in us from the very beginning. But another seed was planted—the seed of disobedience. So now we have to choose what words we will receive to grow in us to produce whatever type of fruit, for the seed is in that fruit. So in receiving the Word of God as planting seeds, you are now the by-product of the first fruits. His seed is within to produce after his kind.

Lenora Turner

Pastor Lenora Turner is originally from Brooklyn and Queens New York. In 1998 God commissioned her, her husband and family to move to Virginia to begin a work for the Kingdom of God. Through the knowledge of her experiences and trials, she is now able to minister and love people to Christ who may have found themselves in similar situations. Planting Seeds is a ministering tool used to help the beginning Christian to know what the word of God when applied will do for them as they believe and live what they have heard. Her mission is to strive and help people to know their God given right to live life to its fullest. To help give directions to those that may be lost. To give sight to those that may be blind not knowing that there is a better way of living. Yes, we all have problems and we all have done things that we may not be proud of; but we have a God who sent his only begotten Son Jesus to take away the shame of sin as well as its penalty and power over us, and has empowered us with His Word and Spirit to live in obedience to GOD.

Introduction

The fight is not between us it’s over us. Who will get possession of our minds to do whosoever’s will. The more we receive of the word of God the more we become like Jesus and the more we receive of the things of this world, its thoughts and ways of living the more we become an enmity to God. No servant can serve two masters either he will hate the one and love the other; or he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Luke 16:13.

We as Christians have been bought with a price. Purchased with the precious blood of the lamb for we were captives to another master. Now that we have been freed our will is now to the one who has set us free. That we are now no longer and still are not of ourselves. But by the word of God which is the will of the Father, has penetrated us by his son Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit, which is his word. God wants us to be willing and obedient children unto Him.

We must allow the abundance of the spirit to begin to come alive in us
