Matthew 15:13 (Jesus Speaking) But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up.

As we go through life, there are certain metaphoric plants we obtained that our Heavenly Father did not plant. For instance, if we grew up without a father, we may have obtained the plant of rejection. Or, if we’ve been emotionally hurt by someone in a relationship, we may have obtained the plant of fear or a lack of trust in relationships. Finally, if we were highly influenced by someone teaching us non-biblical based things, we may have received those plants into our souls. An example of being highly influenced is if we have a favorite uncle who tells us not to give our money to the church because the preacher is going to use our money to live an extravagant life. Now, some of us are missing out on God’s best because we’re not tithing and giving offerings.

These are some examples of things our Heavenly Father did not plant. The promise we have from God is an uprooting of all the plants He did not plant. God is not going to forcefully uproot these plants, however, if we submit ourselves to God, He guarantees to uproot everything He did not plant. Every wrong thought, belief, or previous pain, God promises to uproot.

Take the time to seek God about those things He did not plant in your life and allow God to uproot it all.
