Without Words there would be no knowledge transfer, promise, blessing or inheritance.

Without words Life would merely be instinctual like an animal.

Words are spiritual seeds, so they are life inseminators.

Words are permission granters and door openers.

Words are spiritual keys

Words Grant authority, empower, bless and curse.

Words communicate and transfer ownership of things.

In the explanation of the parable of the sower (farmer/planter) in Mark 4:14, Jesus taught, “The sower sows the word.” Some seeds never take root and some never produce fruit, but the seed of the kingdom sown into good ground produces 30, 60 or 100 times. With this Understanding, the kingdom of God is given and received through words planted in a person’s heart. Paul wrote in Galatians 6:7, “…whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap..” And Paul wrote this in the context that it is mocking God to suggest otherwise. Sowing to the works of the flesh results in death. Sowing to the spirit results in life.

Jesus taught that speaking is planting. Jesus taught His disciples that their words could sow the kingdom of God into people’s hearts. It does not take rocket science to put these Scriptures into mutual understanding because Paul said, “whatsoever” we plant, we will reap.

The words of our mouths will plant either life or death and we will harvest whatsoever we plant. Let’s be kingdom farmers. Plant the seeds of the kingdom of God. Plant seeds of life and not death, blessing and not cursing. 1 Corinthians 13:11 (NKJV): “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”
