Title: the Holy Spirit let me know three years ago in this season, I’m just a seed planter.
Picked up a passenger in Atlanta i was led to talk about what i was addicted to.
I said Bruh, you know how people is addicted to coke crack Pepsi, sugar, marijuana, dope, crack, lying, manipulation, greedy for money he said yes facts. I said my addiction was sex out of wedlock he said man i know God is talking to me because that’s my addiction and that’s how the conversation started about him getting married one day we had a good conversation most of my passengers i probably will never see again. I understand my assignment. I’m just a seed planter one day the seed will grow.
Matthew 13:23-33
But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”
The Parable of the Weeds
Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.
When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
“The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
“‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
“‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them.
Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”
The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast
He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.
Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”
He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds[a] of flour until it worked all through the dough.”
Conclusion.
Luke 8:11
“This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
Divine story time.
Luke 8:11 is Jesus explaining that the seed in His story stands for the word of God. This verse opens the meaning of the Parable of the Sower, describing how different human hearts respond to God's truth.
Reflecting on my own journey, I've come to see the importance of patience and persistence in spiritual growth, much like planting a seed that takes time to bloom. The story shared about addiction and transformation resonates deeply with many who struggle silently. Addiction, whether to substances or behaviors, often isolates individuals, but conversations sparked by faith can create turning points. I recall moments when small acts of kindness or sharing personal struggles with strangers led to meaningful changes, reminding me of the parable where seeds fall on good ground and produce abundant crops. It’s a hopeful reminder that our words and actions, even if seemingly small, can influence others in profound ways. The parables of the mustard seed and yeast illustrate how even the tiniest beginnings of faith can grow expansively, transforming lives and communities. This metaphor encourages us to plant seeds of hope, understanding that growth isn’t always visible immediately but continues beneath the surface. In practical terms, embracing the role of a 'seed planter' means focusing on sharing truth, love, and faith without expecting immediate results. It’s about trusting the process and the timing of the divine. This approach can help overcome feelings of discouragement when our efforts to guide or help others don’t seem to take immediate effect. Sharing personal experiences, like the addict recognitions in the article, can encourage others to open up and seek change. Most importantly, these parables and testimonies remind us that everyone is on their own journey, and our role is often to sow seeds that may one day flourish."
