Seed principle, the incorruptible verses the corruptible

Multiplying Our Seed Is All About Choosing The Seed and Soil

SEED PRINCIPLE

There are two dimensions of the seed principle and they are spiritual and physical.The seed and harvest laws are shadows of the natural laws that govern all spiritual principles. Today through Seed Principle you are going to become free and learn how to apply seed principle to your physical and spiritual lives.

The physical world is a result of the spiritual. In Hebrews 11:3, God spoke the universe into existence. The things which appear were created from things which do not appear. The tangible is a manifestation of the intangible. The things we see in the physical world were made from things we cannot see in the spiritual world.

To understand the spiritual seed principle, you must understand the physical seed principle. Studying the seed principle in the physical realm helps to understand the spiritual dimension. This is why Jesus uses an illustration of sowing seed in the physical realm to clarify the concept of seed in the spiritual realm. Mark 4:14, “The sower soweth the word.”

The parable of the sower is the parable that gives discernment and understanding to all parables, to all truth and the foundation of the earth. It gives understanding and truth to the foundation of the old bible (physical) to spiritual foundation of the New Testament. Jesus uses the physical seed to illustrate faith being implanted in the heart and growing.

The Kingdom of God is also illustrated by the seed principle. Mark 4:30-33, It is like a grain of mustard seed, and when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds in the earth but becomes the biggest tree with the largest branches and birds build their nests in it. And with many such parables, Jesus spoke the word into us, as we were able to hear it. Jesus spoke in parables for a reason. Jesus was saying, unless you have my seed in your spirit you cannot understand the planted word from heaven.

The parables of Jesus by-passes the conscious mind into the spirit in order to by-pass the seed of the serpent planted in the mind through imaginations and suggestions. We’re going to unlock the power of the seed principle today so you can begin to plant abundance in your life and stomp out the seed of Satan. If you want to build a Christian life that reflects holiness and righteousness, or build a ministry or sow seed in your children, in your business and begin to see a harvest then this is the lesson for you.

THE TWO TYPES OF SEED THAT WERE FORMED BY THOUGHT:

The Seed Of God : When God spoke his thoughts the universe was formed. When you came into being, you started from a single cell and grew into what you are today. John 1:1-2 says, “In the beginning was the word and the word was God and Jesus was the word became flesh. Only God’s word can be transformed into physical matter or become life in the spiritman.” John6:63 says, “It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing, the word that I speak into you are spirit and life. So all incorruptible seed manifests from God.

The Seed Of The Serpent: John 8:44 says, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do and when he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own seed, for he is a liar, and the father of lies.”

God’s word or seed is full of truth, life and blessing and will set us free. Satan’s word by contrast is a lie and has a curse in it and will put us in bondage and leads to death. Ezekiel 28:13, says, “thou has been in Eden the garden of God…” He devised a plan to invade man’s domain and through deception upsurge man’s God-given dominion and authority over the earth. See Genesis 1:28

THE SEED OF THE SERPENT

Satan was the first corruptible seed and he sowed that seed into man. He first gained entrance into the mind of Eve to plant his corruptible seed by getting Eve to question God’s word. Then, when the seed of his lie was conceived in her mind she acted according to the seed sown within her and disobeyed God. Genesis 3;1-6, “Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, “yea, hath God said ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said ye shall not eat of it neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.”

Listen very carefully here, God never said “Don’t touch it,” he just said, “Don’t eat it.” Genesis 2:17, “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”

Right away the devil realized that Eve did not know the Word that God had given to Adam to give to her. Now this made her all the more susceptible to deception of course, because she didn’t know what the rules were. She didn’t know her rights. She didn’t know her authority. She didn’t know what God really had said. And she didn’t know what her authority and dominion was.

So first of all, we have to know the word if we’re ever to overcome the seed of Satan. Now when Satan tempted Jesus it was a different matter, Jesus quoted the word to him and he overcame that temptation for Satan could not plant the seed of the lie in Jesus. He shows us here that we have to know what God says in order to stand firm on a solid foundation of truth, it is what sets you free from the serpent’s seed.

Now Satan further tempted Eve in the progressive stages of deception. The lust of the eye, the desire to be wise in one’s own eyes, pride. Satan always deceives in stages. It is always mingled with truth to confuse. The best kind of lie is one that is 90% truth and 10% lie. It’s still an entire lie, because of that 10% which can put you into bondage.

Satan directly contradicted God’s command of Genesis 2:17, by twisting God’s wordinto a lie! Satan knows just enough of the word to twist it, but he has no discernment. There lies the truth in discerning spirits. So now that we’ve defined the two seeds lets look at what manifested from the two kinds of seeds.

CORRUPTIBLE VS INCORRUPTIBLE

In Genesis, Chapter 3, we find the first reference by God of two contrasting kinds of seeds. The serpent’s seed (corruptible) which is referring to Satan’s lie, and the seed of the woman, which is a prophetic reference to Christ.

God is judging the serpent, or Satan. Genesis 3:15, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” So, the seed of the serpent (Corruptible) and the seed of Christ (incorruptible) are staged by God for a showdown. In this verse you can clearly see how the seed of Christ got changed into the personal pronoun “He” will bruise your head. It was God prophetic announcement that he would send his son, Jesus Christ to destroy the works of Satan and his seed.

Now you can understand why David dragged the head of Goliath (a seed of the serpent) 16 miles to Golgotha Hill, because when Jesus’ blood dripped on that evil ground sin and death lost and a new seed had begun. Remember all seeds must die before they can regenerate into a new seed and yield a harvest. So when we die to him Satan’s seed dies with the old man, and all things become new in Him.

In Luke 1:38 it says, “And Mary said, behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to THY WORD. And the angel departed from her.”

God gave woman the privilege of being the vessel through whom all mankind would receive deliverance from the power of death and avenge her of Satan’s deception. The bruised head is symbolic of a death blow and also symbolic of that place from which thought originates. This means God’s word, His truth, His sword, would come against the seed of the serpent or the lie of the wicked one. So you see here an example of how the physical from the old bible became manifest into the spiritual by King David, the sceptor of Christ’s throne.

The serpent’s seed has been sown and multiplied in the earth to produce many lies, moving man into a place of darkness, death, and destruction. But of course, Jesus came to reverse this and we live with hope and faith.

In 1 Peter 1:23 the Apostle Peter also makes a reference to two contrasting seeds, by saying “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but in incorruptible seed, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.” Peter makes it emphatically clear that there are two contrasting seeds and could only be referring to the seed of the serpent when referring to corruptible seed and God’s word when referring to incorruptible.

WHAT SEED IS PLANTED IN YOU IS THE KEY

In the parable of the sower (Mark Chapter 4), Jesus began to teach the disciples the key to all parables or all revelation knowledge. But you have to have the seed of Christ in you to discern truth by His Holy Spirit. The deciples asked him what it meant. He said, “Unto you is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God,” verse 11. Jesus is saying this parable is the mystery of the Kingdom of God. Then in verse 13 he says, “Know ye not this parable? How then will ye know all parables?” This statement implies very strongly the fact that this parable is the central theme to grasping all truth, and when applied will produce abundant living.

Again, I emphasize, when APPLIED, not just knowing but doing the parable of the sower. The word of God is the seed, verse 14, “The sower soweth the Word.” When the word is sown and internalized into the heart of the believer, it will bear fruit after its own kind, verse 20, “And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, some sixty, and a hundred fold.”

This is why Satan tries to steal the Word out of your mind, verse 15, “And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. “He does not want to see God’s people blessed or prosper. He does not want to see them walking in health, he does not want to see them filled with joy, because then God is glorified and more people come into the kingdom as a result of their testimony. Read also Luke 17 starting with verse 5.

So in other words, faith begins as a seed in one’s spirit. We have to sow the seed of the word of God into the human spirit and it will breed faith after its kind of seed that was sown. If it’s a word of faith, or a seed of faith, concerning healing or renewing the mind it will give healing and mind renewal. It gives birth to what ever it is sown for. If it is a word sown to the lost then the seed of Salvation will be sown and the fruit of soul winning will result.

“So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God,” Romans 10:17. For instance tonight your faith will be stronger in the seed and harvest principle because you will see the truth of it in hearing God’s word concerning it.

Notice that Jesus did not say that your faith must be as the size of a grain of mustard seed in Luke 17:6, but was implying it must start as a grain of mustard seed. Take a look at the ramifications of a seed, the whole seed concept, how it’s implanted, how it must be watered in fertile soil, and how it must be nurtured. In other words the misconception has been a little faith goes a long way, but the emphasis is not on size but on the faith-growth process.

The more you are fed the word and apply it to your life the bigger your mustard seed gets. It does not mean that you can walk the righteous life, dodge the devil and grow spiritually if your faith remains as small as the mustard seed, because the devil will come along and snatch what little faith you’ve got if you don’t keep feeding your spirit and mind with the word.

So faith is developed in the human spirit as a result of the sowing of the engrafted or implanted word into it, James 1:21, says, “Receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.”

When you see Christians that are not growing it is because of lack of the feeding on the word. Now some people come to church to socialize, to be somebody, to hear the singing and feel good for an hour. But continued teaching on all levels that different members in the body are in need of is imperative for spiritual growth. So I pray that all of you will come and hear the bible teaching on Tuesdays by Larry. If you’re not coming to hear the word and seeking his truth and instructions then your motives for church needs an overhaul and you can be sure that seeds that you are allowing to be sown in you are not of Christ.

The seed of the serpent sown into one’s being will produce the opposite affects, doubt, fear, confusion, sickness, disease, and poverty. It will also produce bad character, jealousy, envy, and strife. Galations 5:19-21, says, “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, adultery, fornication, uncleaness(of the mouth and negative thoughts from the heart) lasciviousness, idolatry (one foot in the world and one foot in the church) witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, seditions, heresies, envying, murders,(giving death to others with the tongue) drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I tell you before as I have also told you in time past, that they that do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God. These are the seeds of the devil who is your father which you emulate.

The seed of God’s word, on the other hand, will produce the fruit of the spirit.Galations 5:22-23, “But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.” God’s seed will produce all of the good, whereas the seed of the serpent will produce all of the bad. This is further confirmed by Galations, Chaper 6:7-9, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

Notice verses 7 and 8 clearing shows the sowing and reaping process. The corruptible is sown to the flesh and the incorruptible is sown to the spirit.

In John 8:44 Jesus says, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.”

In other words, you are going to live out the programming of the seed that is born within you either from you bloodline or your environment. If one is your father, then you are born of his seed and have his attributes, that is exactly what Jesus was implying here, that they were born of the seed of the serpent (Satan) or the thought or mind of the enemy was sown into them and would bear corruptible fruit or deeds.

Regeneration becomes a by-product as your divine nature develops through the renewing of the mind through the word and the blood of Christ. Which attributes of the father is in you? We can change our genetics through the blood of Christ. This is clear in the seed principle. Titus 3 calls it a new gene in Christ. The word genesis means new creation, new bloodline.
