Luke 8:11 NLT “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is God’s word.

God’s word is a seed. When we plant God’s word in our hearts, it supernaturally grows.

Like any natural seed, maintenance is necessary to ensure growth. We ensure the seed grows by hearing God’s word, meditation on God’s word, and confession of God’s word (Rom. 10:17, Josh. 1:8, 2 Cor. 4:13). This is necessary because the devil and the cares of life will try to steal this seed.

Satan will throw thoughts of doubt in our heads and give us every reason why the seeds we’ve planted won’t grow. He’ll tell us we’re unqualified for it, we’re too old, we’re past our prime, look how long it’s taking, we only make so much in this economy, etc. These thoughts are designed to steal the seed. As long as we don’t accept these thoughts by doubting in our hearts, the seed will continue to grow (Mark 11:23). However, if we agree with these negative thoughts, the seed will never grow. We’ll know if we agreed with Satan and doubted in our hearts because we’ll say these doubts out loud and/or we’ve stopped confessing and meditating on God’s word.

Believe the word of God and don’t allow doubt to steal the seed.

Luke 8:15 NLT And the seeds that fell on the good soil represent honest, good-hearted people who hear God’s word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest.
