The Process of Faith
Mark 4:26-29
Let’s break down The Parable of the Growing Seed for our understanding in the process of faith. Whenever we believe God for something, it’s a process. That’s why the Bible lets us know it takes faith and patience to receive the promises of God (Hebrews 6:12).

v.26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground.
*According to Luke 8:11 the seed represents the word of God.
Example: We believe God for debt freedom according to Romans 13:8 which tells us to owe no man. [We just scattered seed on the ground of our hearts.]
v.27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.
Example: Be cool, calm, and relaxed. We may not know how we’re going to get debt free but it’s okay. We should have the assurance that eventually we are debt free.
v.28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head.
Example: Little by little. God gives us a plan of action, surrounds us with financial experts, or simply gives us the money to become debt free. All by itself our faith produces debt freedom.
v.29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”
Example: Eventually, we are debt free. Our faith in God to be debt free  has manifested in the earth.

We can use this faith process with anything we need or desire (house, car, tuition money, etc). We should put our trust in God and know that anything is possible with Him.

Be Blessed

Psalm 145:16 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing

When we look for fulfillment in other things, we never get satisfied. That’s why if we turn to a substance, like food, alcohol, or drugs, we keep eating, drinking, or seeking that high. If we turn to people, they can never fill, so we either lash out, or keep looking for another to fill the void.

But, what if everytime we felt lack and our flesh craved that person or substance, what if we started praying, or reading the Word of God, or praising God? How much more would we be satisfied, and how less convicted or even guilty, would we feel afterwards?

Let our choices reflect the words, “only You can satisfy me.”
