**produce___to make something
___bring something into existence
** " our work produced by faith"
** God gave us the ability to produce
__ we have the ability to bring certain things into life.....(this is going to amaze you)
** we can either bear bad fruits or good fruits
__what we hear, listen to see with our eyes, plants seeds within us
__ and we going to produce
** (Gal 5:22)
__the Holy Spirit within us produce fruits (character, emotions, feelings)
** our ability to produce from the ground, gives us the ability to produce from other people
** we cant produce within ourselves, the Holy Spirit does
** when a farmer plants a seed, the only thing in his mind is the production
__ when people start a business they only after production and we only after what they produce (their brands, style, quality, accessibility of things)
** God plants His Word inside us, and He is only after production
** the Word of God is compared to a seed in the bible and our hearts as a farm and the field as the world.....
__(Luke 8:11)
__whenever we hear the Word of God it is like a seed planted and the farmer expect to see a production
** we only plant a pair of seeds but the harvest is much bigger
** whenever God sends His Word through His servants, to us_____He expect it to produce fruits
__(Isaiah 55:11)
__"fruit"___karpos___ fruit of works or deeds, "fruit" being the visible expression of power working inwardly and invisibly, ___the character of the "fruit" being evidence of the character of the power producing it.
___(Matt 7:16)
___"fruits"......works or deeds
** As the visible expressions of hidden lusts are the works of the flesh
** so the invisible power of the Holy Spirit in those who are brought unto Christ (John 15:2-8,16 ) produces "the fruit of the Spirit,"
** what happens when we hear the Word of God?
1) a seed is planted
__(Luke 8:11)
__the seed carries the fruits
__when a seed is planted the farmer expect it to germinate, and to grow and produce fruits for him to eat
__God expect the His Word to germinated and to grow and to produce fruits
__when you plant a seed it takes time for it to germinate, but with patience and watering it will finally germinate(when God plants a seed He knows that it will take time for it to germinate, but God is patient with us)
__ (1 Cor 3:6)
__when a seed is in the ground you only trust the soil for germination(when the Word of God is in our hearts, God trusts our hearts for germination)
2) a plant grows to maturity
__a seed is planted in the ground, it germinates, and it grows to maturity with proper watering
__the word of God is planted within us(in our hearts), it germinates, and it grows to maturity with proper watering
__when u have heard the word of God you begin to speak it, that's when it is at maturity, you cant keep quite, it is like fire burning in your bones

__the Word has certain nutrients for the word planted within us
b) listening to other people preaching
