The Seeds of Your Future - I

The words we speak are the seeds we plant in the soil of our future.

Our words testify of us what we are inside and what motivated us to say them, and if you identify with force behind those words (in other words, you ARE the sadness, you ARE the doubt, you ARE the depression) then you plant seeds which will bring forth the manifestation of the power which caused you to speak the words: MORE sadness, MORE doubt, MORE depression.

Already in the very first book of the Bible we can read how our Creator said: "Let there be ...", and after He spoke, it came into existence.

First He spoke in the spiritual dimension, which translated itself through the dimensions into our physical dimension in the birth of that which He spoke.

Likewise, when we speak we do not utter mere words, but we speak because a force within us motivates us to do so.

We speak from our micro-cosmos into the macro-cosmos.

When we doubt, the words we speak are not only expressions of doubt, but they also act as seeds of doubt bringing forth the fruit of doubt.

In a depressed state of mind the words we speak are not just expressions of that depression, but they serve to enhance it: little seeds bringing forth the continuation of the depressed state of mind.

We may say something like 'the world is a miserable place and it will never change', and by saying those words we not only express the sadness and hopelessness within us, but we also find ourselves planting seeds that we give our energy (faith) to, words which are the focus of our attention. When you constantly focus on one aspect you become unaware of other aspects, and you will look at your world through the eyes of the one aspect you obsessively are focusing on.

When we doubt, we sow the seeds of doubt with our words expressing the doubt, which will proliferate the doubt at the expense of that which could destroy doubt, i.e., faith.

Words are the expression of our state of mind and soul, and the energy they are charged with causes them to become seeds which will yield fruit after their kind over time.

If you wallow in negativity and constantly express sadness, grief, pessimism and doubt, you are setting yourself up to receive more of the same in the future.

You will reap what you sow.

It has become your environment through your failure to deal in the right way with life's blows, i.e. by allowing your faith in YHWH to prevail over the circumstances. And now you are reinforcing that environment by planting more seeds of that same force which caused you to fail in the first place.

For instance, imagine you're a child with a wilful ambitious mother who wants you to be the best at school.

Although you do your best, you fail to live up to her standards and the word she throws at you is 'failure'. You're no good and you'll never amount to anything because you fail to meet the standards she set for you.

You react with sadness and anger to the will of your mother, and fear sets in, fear over your accomplishments at school and how your mother will react.

You start to work to avoid being the failure, and no matter how you try, you simply are not the best of your class, and you slowly begin to see yourself as a failure.

You become insecure, afraid to make mistakes, and you do not undertake anything for fear it may turn into a failure. You're afraid to make mistakes because the relentless whip of your mother's conditioning is planted firmly into your subconscious.

And so you see your life gradually reflecting back at you the fact that you are a failure, never going anywhere, never achieving anything, not because you're a failure, but because you BELIEVE into the lie that you are a failure and thus remain a slave of the conditioning planted within you.

One day you find yourself saying with tears in your eyes 'I'm a failure', echoing the lie you have succumbed to, and planting the seeds originating from the first seeds your mother planted in you.

The seed of the word 'failure' planted in you by your mother through your resentment, fear and sadness, has grown up and brought forth fruit after its kind.

You have given your faith, your energy, to 'failure', and this is what you have become in your mind. Your obsessive focus is on 'failure' at the expense of so many other, far more positive aspects.

The truth is that you are not a failure at all, since this is simply a mind trick used to turn you into a slave of the will of the evil force which used your mother.

This trick can be reversed by observing and acknowledging the mechanics at work which damaged you in life, and 'disbelieving' the lie it produced in you. The act of disbelieving is easy when you learn to look at yourself through the eyes of your Creator, who does not think of His creatures as failures at all. He has a very different definition of success and failure than the world.

Disbelieving implanted lies comes about by believing truth, just as doubt simply is the absence of faith, which disappears the moment faith is present.

So you see how the dominating will of the mother turned into the foundation of your misery and obstructed you in your walk in life.

One implanted word or suggestion, fuelled by your reaction, becomes energized and causes more reactions within you which strengthen the evil force behind the word. Every mistake you make screams 'FAILURE' at you and enhances the conditioning together with your verbal confirmations of the negative faith you have acquired, the belief in the lie about you.

So you fight NOT to be a failure, but the energy you spend fighting is the energy the concept uses to grow inside you, and every occasion you do not turn out to be the very best you find yourself saying to yourself that you have failed, planting seeds of failure in the garden of your life.

The mother who planted the seed of failure may not even have had the intention of hurting her child.

She may not even have been aware of the fact that she was destroying a personality, quite the contrary, she did 'her best' to make sure that her child would succeed in life, and so she tried to make him the best of the class.

This is why it is all the more important for us to learn to control our emotions through hanging on to faith and not let the enemy pull us away from it.

We always need to be forgiving, meaning we should learn NOT to become the judge who pronounces the verdict guilty and then take on the role of executioner who uses the verdict to implement hatred and resentment for the condemned.

We are not equipped to play God.

When we do, we deny Him His place and automatically become slaves to the force which opposes God, and we grow in the likeness of that force which first acted through the mother in this example, and now shapes the character of the 'failing' child.

If we yearn for things to get better, there's a very easy place to start: our tongue.

We need to monitor that which escapes our mouth and learn to modify it so that no new seeds of destruction can be planted in the garden of our future.

Learn to speak blessings, bless YHWH continuously, bless your fellow man, bless the new day you have received and thank your Creator for it (even though your feelings may want to drag you into a pit of darkness), bless the kindness of our Creator, thank Him for the new day given to you, thank Him for the food He gave you, keep thanking and blessing no matter what.

This way you plant seeds of blessings and thanksgiving in your garden, positive seeds which will bring forth positive fruit if you keep feeding them with faith.

When you feel sad and depressed, thank YHWH for the day He gave you and bless His kindness and goodness.

Sure you can ask Him to give you joy, but don't let your sadness express itself in complaints and negativity, because then you will be sowing the seeds which will cause more of the same to come into your life.

Don't focus on the negative, because in essence the negative is NOTHING. I will be going deeper into this in a new series. Darkness really is a name for the absence of the substance of light. Likewise the negative is in essence an expression of the absence of the positive, so why waste energy on the absence of something while you could spend your time and energy on the 'something', i.e., the positive, faith, hope, restoration, life.

In the next part I will focus on the forces behind the words we speak, which not only cause us to express the presence of those forces in the words we speak, but which also feed the words we have spoken.

May YHWH bless you and guide you in faith and give you a blessed Shabbat (there you go, one seed planted).
