i was reading a book, 'Watchman Prayer' by Dutch Sheets. i got the book in my first year as a free gift, but read a little only. i was just reading another portion.
when we read John 8:32, "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
and i'm sure many of us know our bible verses very well. verses about trust, faith and hope. verses of encouragement. Prov 3:5-6, Psalm 121, Hebs 10:23-25, Matthew 11:35, 1 Peter 5:7.
and we thought, why nothing happens even though we know all these?
Because all truth comes in seed form. what you do with the seed after it is planted will determine or not whether it bears fruit in you.
are you putting the effort to grow the seed?
that's what it means in the parable of the sower (mark 4), the renewing of the mind (Rom 12:1-2), abiding in the Vine by abiding in His Word (John 15) and many more. it is planting the seeds and working the process.
