Reflecting on 2024 and Stepping Boldly into 2025

I started my day today, as I often do, reflecting on the negative feelings I carry instead of focusing on what God has accomplished through me. Perhaps it’s this time of year—the season of reflection—when we naturally start thinking about a new year and what we might do differently as we step into it.

I decided to be a “fruit inspector” of my life—looking back on 2024 to see what was accomplished, which areas bore fruit, and which areas may have simply distracted me or kept me unproductive. When we focus on the fruit of our lives instead of the disappointments or frustrations, our perspective changes drastically.

At the start of 2024, we set out with a determination to use our resources to advance the Kingdom of God in a new way. Did it stretch us? Absolutely. Fear of lack has always been a pressure in my life—probably from growing up with that tension. Often, I focus on the lack more than the prosperity. But today, I refuse to dwell on that. Instead, I choose to celebrate what God accomplished this year.

We sowed in ways we had never done before, intentionally giving to see God’s Kingdom advance. Looking back, I see God moving mightily in South Dakota. What had seemed locked up suddenly opened. We participated in three trips with our Pastor to minister in the Lemmon and Spearfish areas. Doors continued to open wider, and God took notice of South Dakota in a new way. Why? Because our sowing opened the door for Him to move.

I also witnessed a breakthrough in my husband’s health. After years of struggle, his body is being renewed—a major step forward. I believe our faithful sowing unlocked the heart of God on our behalf.

Then, God opened Kentucky in a new way. Again, our giving positioned us for His movement. Opportunities emerged for us to be used by God to see Kentucky open in ways we had never imagined. I have a story to share about this and plan to do so because God is faithful. If you position yourself, He will use you in ways you never expected.

I am not saying we are anything special. I am saying that sowing opens the heart of God on our behalf. Through giving, our desires are laid before Him, and we position ourselves for dreams to be unlocked.

Of course, we faced challenges this year. Long-standing mindsets that had held me back are beginning to break. You have no idea how much these patterns can trap you—keeping you stuck, broke, and frustrated. Overcoming them takes time, but I refuse to live under mindsets that undermine God’s power to do mighty things through my life.

So, as I step into this new year, I am not making empty resolutions. I am reflecting on what worked in 2024, recognizing the desires of my heart that were fulfilled, and pressing on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14).

What would I change? I would focus even more on what produces in my life. I would let go of distractions that confuse me. I would set aside all fear of lack and step into a new revelation of the power of the seed in my life—the power to position myself to see God move in areas I have battled with all my life.

Let’s take a new journey together. Let’s see 2025 break open in ways we never imagined. Give with intentionality and purpose—your money has a mission. What are you doing with it? I intend to make 2025 the most prosperous year of my life. I believe the mindsets that have plagued me will be broken, and I will walk into a freedom I have never known. I believe God will bring new business ideas to multiply the “seed” for the advancement of His Kingdom.

Take time today to establish Kingdom goals for your life. Personal goals are good, but Kingdom goals are essential. Your resources need a mission or they will be squandered on things without eternal impact. Stretch yourself and allow God to expand your capacity to receive more from Him. You cannot see expansion while holding on to the same old patterns. Give with intentionality, purpose, and expectation, and watch God unlock your heart and fulfill dreams you may have laid dormant due to disappointment. Dare to dream again! Dare to believe again!

2025, I welcome you with open arms. I embrace the new things of God and step into His promises for my life. It’s going to be a good year!

Blessings,
Tammy

Change Is In The Air

Embracing Transformation as We Enter 2025

We are fast approaching the end of 2024. Over the past four years, we have seen so much happen in our world, yet I sense hope rising in our nation. What once seemed dark and gloomy now shows rays of sunshine on the horizon.

Have you felt like you’ve been fighting just to survive these past few years? I have. It’s been difficult to dream or even believe that there is something worth pressing toward. I wouldn’t call it hopelessness—it’s more like struggling to find your footing amidst great change.

I want to encourage you. As we approach 2025, now is the time to become a “fruit inspector” of your life. What does that mean? It means taking a moment to assess your life. You don’t have to stay in fight-or-flight mode just to survive. Something has shifted, and it’s as if every promise is now coming into fulfillment (Ezekiel 36:26-28). Look at what you are investing in—what is producing fruit and what is not. Whatever is not producing fruit cannot come with you into this next season.

Think about the process of a butterfly. They undergo a complete metamorphosis. One stage is called the pupa, when the caterpillar transforms into a beautiful butterfly.

The process isn’t pretty. There are four stages:

  1. Egg: The butterfly lays eggs, which hatch into small caterpillars.

  2. Caterpillar: The caterpillars eat constantly and grow, shedding their skin several times.

  3. Pupa/Chrysalis: The caterpillar forms a hard shell for protection. Inside, transformation occurs. This is a season of transition, growth, and preparation. To emerge, the butterfly must break free. Without doing so, it cannot survive or fly.

  4. Butterfly: Emergence into beauty, freedom, and full potential.

I believe our nation—and each of us individually—is about to experience great transformation. You are being molded for what God created you to be. There will be struggle and uncertainty, but on the other side is complete transformation into something beautiful.

Don’t fear the process. There was a time in my life when I resisted change. I fought it, feared it, and stayed stuck. But change is inevitable. As children of God, we don’t have to control the process—we simply need to lean into it, trusting God to shape us into His image. Cooperation with His work in us allows Him to bring about a beautiful transformation.

As things shift, relax and enjoy the process. Trust your Father! Change is good. God is not removing the good from your life; He is pruning what holds you back so you can step into your full potential.

2 Corinthians 3:18 – “And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continue to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever-increasing splendor, from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.”

I am ready to see this transformation! I am ready to shed the protective shell and reveal something glorious. The dreams in your life are from God. Allow Him to transform you so you can receive what He has prepared. Move into the change, shed the hard shell, and step into the larger space where you can spread your wings. Caterpillars cannot fly—but butterflies are free to soar.

It’s time to let go. It’s time to be transformed. It’s time to step into freedom and soar into the destiny God has prepared for you.

Blessings in the process! It’s going to be glorious.

God Has a More Excellent Way

Money is a tool, money is not our God. It is a scientific fact that we learn "how to live life" between the ages of 0-7. Everything at that stage is learned through observation. You subconsciously learn the rules of how to be in a family, by watching your parents, your siblings, and those who may train a child through daycare settings or preschool/kindergarten teachers. So between the ages of 0-7 you are learning about money, relationships, and love unconsciously just by watching and observing.

Poverty is a mindset that perpetuates to the next generation. It is the same with prosperity. It is a mindset that is caught over time by watching and observing. Since money is a very important piece to our lives and in some cases it is people's God, then you are learing a lot about money in those early years. In order to break those mindsets we need to learn the word of God and what God teaches about money and how we are to use money. If the program you were used to hearing is "who do you think you are, you won't amount to nothing", life is hard", "we are broke all the time", we live paycheck to paycheck"...on and on. Those are like tapes that are played in your mind over and over again. So when you try to succeed at something you will find yourself sabotaging yourself because of what you have learned in those early years. If you were taught prosperity no matter what mistakes you make you will seem to prosper. If you have been taught poverty then no matter what you do you will sabotage any success.

In those early years, you learn through your subconscious mind but after the age of 7, you learn through repetition. Most of your learning is repetitive, over and over again, just like learning the ABCs. You say them over and over again until you have learned them.

To overcome mindsets of poverty and lack you must through repetition change those mindsets. That is where the word of God comes in. Jeremiah 23:29 says "Is not My word like a fire?" says the Lord, "And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces"? The word of God is like a hammer to those hard mindsets that were developed over time.

We need the mind and heart of God in the area of finances because GOD HAS A MORE EXCELLENT WAY and it is not the way of the world, or the way you have been taught. So let's lay the groundwork for how God does things. Money is a tool that is used to advance His Kingdom, not ours. Wealth in the hands of the wrong people can be devastating. Just look at our nation. Right now we are seeing man's kingdom trying to be established which creates wealth for their gain and everyone else in poverty. It is a sick system that is crumbling. Most of us have never been taught what true riches are. We have been taught to live our lives in luxury and for ourselves. You work to make a living, have nicer things, and build your retirement. Ultimately, you are left with a skeleton of a life you could have had.

Matthew 6:33 AMPC - "But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.

There is something called the American Dream but it is actually the American Lie. Kids are taught early to think about a good education, good grades, good college, so you can work for a good company and make a living. The reality is that most kids come out of school barely educated, go to college, and end up in $60K debt and trying to find a good job. Statistically only 45% of college graduates actually go into the field of their degree. Staggering statistic.

I never went to college and I am not against education but where God sends you God will fund the work. If God wants you to go to college to fulfill His purpose for your life, provision will be there to do that.

Ecclesiastes 4:4 ESV - "Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man's envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after the wind."

GOD HAS A MORE EXCELLENT WAY

The Spirit of God is a prophetic spirit and we know that the Spirit of God is our helper and will lead us into all truth (John 16:13). He will lead us in the path we are to follow and in that path will be provision for what God is calling you to do.

God has a plan and a purpose for your life. You can determine in your heart to align yourself with that purpose, no matter your age. It is natural to begin to think about college, a good job, and making money. However, none of that compares to the call of God on your life, and within that call is all the provision you will need to accomplish it.

Ecclesiastes 3:9-11 AMPC - "He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted eternity [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]--yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done [His overall plan] from the beginning to the end".

EVERYTHING GOD HAS PLANNED FOR YOUR LIFE HAS ETERNITY ATTACHED TO IT.

THE DESIRE TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND GOD'S PURPOSES WAS PLACED WITHIN US BY GOD.

God knows just how to get you where you are to be and through the help of Holy Spirit will lead and guide you on the right path. Where God calls you, God funds the work. We simply must learn to cooperate with His plan.

Exodus gives us the foundation we need and provides clarity in God's ways. We know the story well, how God sent Moses to deliver his people out of their bondage. God told Moses "Go to Pharoah and tell him to let my people go so they can worship me". We understand through a series of mighty acts the children of Israel began their journey into the wilderness. Prior to them leaving. God told Moses to tell the women to go to their neighbor and take their gold, silver, and clothing (Exodus 12:35-36). They plundered the enemy's camp before leaving Egypt. Then God healed them all. The Bible says there was not one feeble among them (Psalm 105:37).

In their captivity, it was marked by sickness, disease, and poverty. When God showed up he healed them all and put in their hands the wealth of the wicked. They left their captivity healed and wealthy. John 10:10 says "The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but I have come to give you life and life more abundantly.

As they began their journey into the wilderness after seeing God's mighty hand of deliverance the children of Israel began to complain. Some even wanted to go back. Why would they want to go back to their captivity? Because God can deliver you from your oppression in a second, however, your mind is going to need to be renewed by the word of God. You are going to have to get rid of some stinkin' thinking along the way.

Two months into their journey they arrive at Mt. Sinai. It was there that Moses went to the top of the mountain to meet with God. God immediately instructs Moses to go down to His people and consecrate them because in 3 days he is going to visit His people. So they washed their clothes and prepared themselves to meet with God. God descended over the people in a thick cloud. Then Moses was told to go back up to the mountain where God began to lay out the rules, ordinances, and the 10 commandments for the people to live by. God then tells Moses very specifically to take up an offering from the people because God wanted them to build him a Tabernacle. A place where His presence would abide. The people had a heart to give and by today's standard would have been around 500 million dollars. They had to tell the people to stop giving because they had so much.

On that mountaintop, Moses receives very detailed instructions on how to build the Tabernacle. Think about it, Moses didn't have an iPad, computer, typewriter, or even a pen and paper. God instilled in Moses his blueprint for building the Tabernacle. Moses knew exactly what to do.

For some of you, God is going to download the exact blueprint needed for building. For some of you, God is going to download a blueprint of something ingenious that could in an instant make you rich. God can give you a dream and show you an invention.

Because of that transference of wealth before the children of Israel left Egypt, the people had everything they needed for Moses to fulfill what God had told him to build. God then appointed certain men within the camp and filled them with the Spirit of God in wisdom and skill, in understanding and intelligence, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship (Exodus 31:3-5). Where did these gifted men come from? Their own camp. What a picture for our life. God provides the resources to do what He is calling you to do, gives you the blueprint to begin to build, and provides the skill set needed to accomplish the work.

There is a more excellent way. What a high call God has given us!

Deuteronomy 8:18 AMPC - "For it is God that gives you the ability to create wealth".

I want to encourage you that God has a more excellent way and if you follow His way you will succeed and your life will be filled with God's presence and anointing. This is what our teenagers need to learn before they begin to make lifelong decisions based on what everyone else is telling them to do. Parents, your children can hear from God. If they will press into Holy Spirit and listen to his voice, read the word of God, God will begin to direct their paths to His purpose for their lives. Sometimes as parents, we just need to allow Holy Spirit to direct our children in the way they should go. Take your hands off of trying to direct them and trust God to show them a more excellent way. Pray for them...yes, but give room for God to move in their lives and be there as confirmation of that direction because you as a parent have also heard from God. This is not a difficult thing...it just requires FAITH. We are a FAITH people.

The Power of Family--Natural and Spiritual

I just returned from South Dakota, where we once again laid a family member to rest. The scene is becoming all too familiar. In the past seven years, we have laid to rest my mother, father, and now my step-father.

My parents were married on June 6th, 1958, and together they had four children. Sadly, as is all too common in our society, their marriage ended in divorce. Both remarried, and our family grew significantly.

Family is God’s idea. You may not have control over who is in your family, but God placed you there. He is our Creator. He formed man from the dust and breathed life into him. He established family. We are His children—His creation. So why do we often feel disconnected?

Genesis 1:26-28 reminds us:

“Then God said, ‘Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.’ So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Then God blessed them and said, ‘Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.’”

The reason we feel disconnected is simple: we live in a fallen world. Greed, pride, and selfishness have taken root. God didn’t create evil—He created a beautiful garden and provided for His children. Adam and Eve were placed in paradise, in perfect harmony, until disobedience entered. One act of disobedience disrupted the perfect plan and separated humanity from God.

In my travels, I see many broken families—divorce, death, trauma, and pride often lead to separation. Children grow up searching for identity, left walking a path God never intended for them.

Sadly, this extends even to the body of Christ. Many believers are disconnected from God’s spiritual family. God designed His family to live in perfect communion with Him and with each other. But when we walk outside of the family, seeking God on our own, we become disjointed. Without fellowship, there is no flow of anointing. Revelations remain unproven. Deception can take root.

I recently spoke with a man who has a passion for God’s work, yet he said, “I don’t fellowship anywhere.” While he is active in ministry, he is attempting to reach God’s “place” alone. The truth is, God places us in family for a reason. Without connection, we cannot walk in full purpose or identity. Just as children need fathers in the home, Christians need the spiritual family to guide, challenge, and support them.

Divorce and broken homes create gaps in identity and purpose. But there is redemption. God created a perfect garden. Through the sacrifice of Jesus, we can be restored to that garden—restored to fellowship with our Father and to the family He has designed for us.

If you have strayed or are disconnected, now is the time to return to God’s design. Repent, reconnect, and allow God to restore your place in His family. Pray with me:

Prayer:

Father, I come before You and confess that I have sinned against Your perfect plan for my life. Through disobedience, I have gone my own way, and it has left me empty. I desire Your path, Father, for my life. Thank You that through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus, I can be reconciled to You and Your family and be restored. I can know what it is to walk in a family that loves me and desires the best for me. Father, thank You for placing me in that perfect garden where I can thrive and grow into all You created me to be. I need Your family and Your guidance. I trust You now to lead me to where You want me to be. Restore my family, naturally and spiritually. Place me, Father, where You desire me to be, and I will follow. Amen.

Spend time in God’s Word and ask Him to show you where you belong. He will guide you to the fellowship and spiritual family that will shape, challenge, and empower you. When you are connected, your life becomes fruitful, productive, and filled with joy as you walk in your God-given purpose.

To help you further, I want to give you a FREE guide called “God Has A More Excellent Way”. This guide reveals God’s design for family through the life of Moses as he led the children of Israel out of captivity—a powerful story of how God redeems families.

Blessings to you on this wonderful journey called life!

Money Is A Tool

MONEY IS A TOOL TO MAKE AN ETERNAL DIFFERENCE

2 Corinthians 9:8-11 (AMP)

“And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come in abundance to you, so that you may always have complete sufficiency in everything, and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity. As it is written: He scattered abroad, he gave to the poor; His righteousness endures forever! Now He who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your seed for sowing (your resources) and increase the harvest of your righteousness, which shows itself in active goodness, kindness, and love. You will be enriched in every way so that you may be generous, and this generosity, administered through us, produces thanksgiving to God from those who benefit. For the ministry of this service (offering) is not only supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing through many expressions of thanksgiving to God.”

Ephesians 3:20 – “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power at work within us.”


Pressing Into God’s Promises

Has God given you BIG promises? As you press into His presence, He reveals what’s coming—whether in your life, business, or ministry. I believe God is expanding our capacity to receive from Him. We must go beyond our natural abilities.

When our capacity to give is expanded, so is our capacity to receive.

Luke 6:38 – “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

Our capacity determines our blessing flow.


Beyond the Tithe

Many people only have faith for their personal needs. They are faithful in tithing, and perhaps occasionally give an offering. But the tithe is based on what you already have—it honors God and supports where you are spiritually fed.

The offering, however, is where we step into abundance. Offerings require faith and intentionality. They allow us to move beyond our personal needs to fund Kingdom purposes.

I’ve been challenged to set goals for my tithes and offerings. It takes the same faith to believe God for two as it does for one—so why not give one away for Kingdom purposes? We don’t just believe God for what we need; we believe Him for what He wants to accomplish in His Kingdom.


Support Your Church and Vision

When God releases a vision through your Pastor, it’s not only their responsibility to see it fulfilled—it is ours as well. We must carry the weight financially to see that vision become reality.

Some of you may be called to create Kingdom wealth through business, providing resources the church needs to complete its work. Others may be called to fund the vision directly. God’s strategy may be different for each of us.


Practical Principles for 2025

  1. Expand your capacity to believe for BIG things.

  2. Pray in the Holy Spirit to receive the mind of God. Ask Him for strategy and wisdom.

  3. Develop Kingdom goals, not just personal goals. Include short-term, mid-term, and long-term objectives.

  4. Be a fruit inspector. Evaluate your ministry or business. What is producing fruit? What is not? Remove what hinders growth.

  5. Recognize scaffolding. Some people are temporary supports in your life or vision—they are important, but their season may end.

  6. Determine your giving plan. If your goal is $100K, tithe 10% on that. But if God multiplies it to $200K, give everything over $100K back to Him for Kingdom purposes.


Align With God’s Strategy

For those aspiring to ministry: some of you may not preach, but you are called to fund the Kingdom work. The last-day move of God includes a marketplace strategy—channeling resources to expand the Kingdom.

Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in creating wealth and expanding capacity. God will equip you with the skills you need.

Exodus 31:3-5 – “And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts. He is a master craftsman, expert in gold, silver, bronze, engraving, gemstones, and wood.”

God will give you a more excellent way—a blueprint and strategy unlike anything you’ve done before. It’s time to step into new ways to fund Kingdom work, expand your capacity, and see God multiply your efforts.


Final Encouragement

Even if you are retired, God still has a plan for you. As Dr. Rodney Howard-Browne says, it’s time to get “refired” instead of retired. Be willing to start new ventures, step into Kingdom assignments, and expand what God has placed in your hands.

God wants to multiply your work, bless your giving, and use it to accomplish His Kingdom purposes.

SEED - TIME - HARVEST

Everything in the Kingdom of God started with a SEED!

Just as a farmer tends to his field, God gave gifts to the church to help tend the field in preparation for a mighty HARVEST. Each of these gifts were given to the body to equip us to do the work of the ministry. Jesus died for people. His reward is people. Everything God does is for the building up of the Body of Christ, His family. So God sets in place gifts that are to prepare us for the advancing of His kingdom in the earth.

Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-12 NLT

Everything in the Kingdom of God is established around SEED - TIME - HARVEST.

As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night. Genesis 8:22

Then God said “Let the land produce vegetation; seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.”. And it was so. Genesis 1:11 NKJV

My heart is so stirred lately knowing that we are at the beginning of what I sense is a mighty HARVEST coming to our lives. For many of us we have sowed and sowed and sowed. There is much SEED in the ground. Well, what does a SEED do? It either produces something or we have crop failure. So consider the process of a farmer and the preparation of the soil for the SEEDS he will sow.

A farmer will plow his field in preparation for the planting of the SEED. That preparation includes:

  • Dealing with the weeds. You should never sow seeds into soil that’s already hosting visible weeds…

  • Soil Texture. Next, dig over the soil to loosen its texture and make it easier for a young plant’s roots to grow…

  • Check the soil PH

  • Check drainage

  • Nutrients

  • Mix and level off the soil

  • MOST of all TIME

God sends a GIFT into the hard, dry places to dig up the soil that has become callous, hard, and dry to the things of God in the heart of a people. That plowing of dry hard places is the preaching of the word of God with power.

Does not my word burn like fire?” says the Lord. “Is it not like a mighty hammer that smashes a rock in pieces?”. Jeremiah 23:29

The word of God preached with power will break up the stony hard heart of a person’s life, just like a farmer has to till up the ground to make it ready to receive the SEED planted. Once the SEED is planted the farmer begins to nuture that SEED through watering, feeding, and weeding. God will send a revivalist into a place to break up the hard ground to prepare it to receive the SEED that is planted. That SEED of revival is planted in an individual’s life and through the life of a pastoral gift that SEED is watered and tended to. Crops are hungry! Once the SEED is planted, hunger is planted in the heart of an individual. If the atmosphere is tended properly that SEED will grow and mature. That SEED is watered, the ground remains fertile for that SEED to produce. There is weed management because the weeds will take the nutrients away from the SEED, which then competes with the SEED so it must be removed.

Catch all the foxes, those little foxes, before they ruin the vineyard of love, for the grapevines are blossoming! Song of Songs 2:15.

Those weeds or foxes in our life come to devour the SEED and overtake it. The pastoral gift tends to the flock not only by nurturing and watering the SEED planted but keeping the weeds pulled and the foxes out of the garden. That is why Pastors in our lives are so vital. They see what needs to be pulled out of our lives so that we can produce a greater harvest. Without that covering in our lives we can be self-deceived and not see the areas that are choking off our potential HARVEST. We all have blind spots and those blind spots keep us from seeing the truth. God graces a Pastor with the ability to see what we can’t see. We think they are abusive when they hurt our feelings. A true pastoral gift will care more about pulling those weeds and not care as much about offending in the process because they know that if they don’t deal with those weeds they will overtake our lives and destroy the SEED planted. There is much at stake when a SEED is planted in our hearts and must be protected so that we see that great HARVEST in our lives. Our cooperation with that gift is vital for our maturity.

God at times in our life will bring a prophetic voice to release vision into our lives so we can see where we are going. Without vision the people perish (Proverbs 29:18). That word released is also a SEED planted in our heart that must be tended to or there will be crop failure. That word released has all the power in it to come to pass. Again, our cooperation with those that God sends to us is to prepare us to be ready for the HARVEST that is coming. Vision is birthed in our heart and with the help of our Pastor that vision can come to pass in our lives. Thank God he did not leave us to figure this all out on our own. He sent us gifts to help so we produce fruit in our lives.

I share all that because in the process of our development and coming into the fullness of all God has for us, that SEED planted is vital and in the process of TIME there will be a HARVEST. As believers that is why tithe and offerings are so important. We through our giving plant a SEED, and through the process of TIME we tend to that SEED by protecting it and watering it until the time of HARVEST.

Everything starts with a SEED and in our lives how we tend to that SEED is the harvest we will eventually produce. Either for good or for bad. Every seed you plant will produce a harvest. For some we need to pray for a crop failure with some bad seed that has been sown.

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11

We are coming into a time of great HARVEST. The SEED of revival has been planted in the hearts of people all over this nation. The SEED has been watered through prayer. Preparation has been made in our hearts and now we will see a HARVEST come forth in this land. It is through the process of TIME that we are ready to see the fulfillment of God’s plan and purpose in our lives. If we forfeit TIME we won’t be prepared. Too many quit in the process of TIME. Through impatience, hurt, offense, discouragement people simply fall out of the race and give up. Don’t abort the process because in the span of TIME you will see all that God promised you. You will understand why he has you where he has you because he is protecting the SEED in preparation for a mighty HARVEST. God is a good Father and he will fulfill every promise he has given us through his WORD. You have His WORD on it. Take His WORD and use it as a weapon against those WEEDS that are trying to choke out your HARVEST. The enemy in our life comes to steal, kill, and destroy and his whole purpose is to destroy the HARVEST coming. If he can get you to abort the process through unbelief, doubt, offense, anything that becomes a weed to kill the seed of nutrients he will try.

Guard you heart with all diligence for out of it flows the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23). Tend to your heart, guard it, protect it, nurture it and you will see the HARVEST in due season if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9).

Trust those that God has placed in your life to help you get to where you need to be in the fulfillment of God’s promise to you. They are like that farmer protecting the seed. They have an investment into your life and I pray that everyone who reads this finds that place where the SEED can be planted, watered and protected until HARVEST.

Blessings,
