Words are seeds and those seeds are either producing in us a harvest of life or a harvest of death. In seed form the words we listen to may not feel like they are causing us to come alive or to decay, but those seeds, those words are working on us every moment of every day for life or for death. When we were little kids we were told becareful little eyes what you see, becareful little ears what you hear. These were seeds of life, that have been choked out by seeds of death, because the older we get the more we seed ourselves with the news, social media, pop psychology, self-help and so many other seeds of death that we do not even consider may be producing death in us, because they are only seeds not the harvest.

Jesus spoke a parable in Matthew 13 saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ But he said, No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

The enemy has come at night, when we were sleeping, when we were not careful what we heard and has sown seeds of death in us and now we are seeing the harvest of what was sown. Fear is a seed of death that has many fruits which are producing decay in our lives. The Lord of the harvest is sending workers into your life to bind and burn the weeds, so the wheat can be brought into the barn, but you must be willing to let the workers do their work, for they can see the weeds the enemy sowed, and they are there to deweed you if you will let them. For we were created to live and not die!!!!
