The Mystery is of the Kingdom of God is revealed through farming.
“And He said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? The sower sows the word. And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts. These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness; and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they stumble. Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”” (Mark 4:13–20, NKJV)
The Kingdom of God is as a man who farms His land by planting the seed that corresponds to the crop that he desires to harvest in the season of harvest. The Kingdom of God uses God’s words as seeds. Those who understand the mystery of the kingdom of God plant God’s words in their souls, hearts, bodies, families, friends, communities, and wherever they have influence.
God’s words produce life. Jesus only planted God’s words in the earth. Jesus had the words of life because He had the words of God. We have the words of life because we have the words of God our Father and Christ Jesus our LORD. Christ Jesus is the High Priest of (what we say) our Confession. The Mystery of the Kingdom of God is revealed to those who are willing to believe and receive God’s words. We are then willing to plant and harvest God’s words in our lives and in the lives of others because we trust God. We lean not to our own understanding, but in all our ways, we trust and acknowledge God and His Word.
The one who understands the mystery walks by faith and lives by faith. The one who is given to know the mystery does not trust the wisdom of man but depends on the wisdom of God. The one who has revelation of farming the words of God in their lives starts calling “those thing which be not as through they were.” We begin to believe God’s word more than what we see with our own eyes because we understand that “things which we can see are temporary but things which cannot be seen are eternal.” We “order our conversation aright”, or we align our words with God’s words, and we see the salvation of God.
In this way, we lay hold of the God’s will and farm His will in the earth. God’s word is God’s will. God’s word is our seed. We plant only God’s word and it produces 30, 60 and 100 fold in our lives. We do not plant “mixed seed”.
