STOP JUDGING THE SEED--BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE "HOUSE"

Bill Yount - May 21st, 2001 email: blowtheshofar@juno.com Hagerstown, MD.

I heard the Lord say, "There is a kingdom that scatters and yet increases."

GOD'S PEOPLE AS SEEDS

I saw God's people inside of churches as Seeds. I then saw His Hand reach down and pick up many of these seeds and begin to scatter them far and near into other fields of ministry and Harvest.

WHERE THEY WOULD NOT HAVE GONE---ON THEIR OWN

I sensed it was "Seed Planting Time" in the Spirit. Much of God's Seed was being scattered by "Winds of Adversity" allowed by Him to send this seed places to be planted where they would not have gone on their own..

The strong winds that blew many seeds outside the House were used also to push many seeds inside downward into a deeper commitment to Him and to that House.

Pastors became discouraged for it seemed like it was a season of losing sheep from their fold.

THE BLOWING WIND---INSIDE THE HOUSE

But it was actually God's way of scattering His Seed as these winds were blowing inside the House. Seeds that remained in the House began to judge the seeds that were leaving.

STOP JUDGING THE SEED--BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE HOUSE

Some seeds that were leaving started to judge the seeds that were meant to stay behind.

I heard the Lord say, "IT IS MY SEED - DON'T JUDGE IT!

This is of Me and it is marvelous in My eyes. My Kingdom is bigger than a church! Some Seed in churches that had grown roots downward over many years and had become like strong faithful trees giving shade and comfort to many--- were actually uprooted by severe winds and carried away to be transplanted by the Spirit elsewhere even into other churches that had no shade of a strong mature tree.
