MUSTARD SEED FAITH MYSTERY!

Mark 4:14 14 The sower sows the word.

Words are faith seeds. You reap the fruit of what you

plant in your heart, positive or negative.

When you plant God’s word in your heart, you start

experiencing God’s Life (2 Peter 1:4).

Mark 4:26-2926 And He said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter

seed on the ground, 27 and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not

know how. 28 For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade,

then the head, after that the full grain in the head. 29 But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the

harvest has come."

Mark 4:30-3230 Then He said, "To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or

with what parable shall we picture it? 31 It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on

the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; 32 but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes

greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the

birds of the air may nest under its shade."

Matt 13:31-3231 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom

of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, 32 which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it

is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come

and nest in its branches."

Luke 17:5-65 And the apostles said to the

Lord, "Increase our faith." 6 So the Lord said, "If you have

faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be pulled up by the roots and be

planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

Matt 17:19-2119 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why

could we not cast it out?" 20 So Jesus said to them,

"Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you

have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will

move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Heb 5:12-1412 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of

God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.

14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern

both good and evil.

IN SUMMARY1. Words are faith seeds. The Word of God is the seed that yields His fruit.

2. Faith is like a seed, everyone has the same quality of seed (word).

3. The seed only grows into a fruit tree if planted. By itself, the seed is useless.

4. The tree grows in stages (by reason of use). Results get better with time.
