We all know how farming works. The farmer plants the seed, and then he must cultivate it. The cultivating of the seed is the �keeping� of the seed. He must tend to it and create an �ENVIRONMENT OF GROWTH�. He must keep the soil tender. He must water the seed. He must fertilize the seed. Then he must keep the seed clear of weeds that choke. Then he must �wait� patiently for the growth and finally the fulfillment of the seed, which is its fruit. I really hope you are getting this. I am trying to explain it as plainly as I know how. I used to read the bible in �fruit� form. Now I am reading the bible in �seed� form. You see, I used to pray for healing and God would answer my prayer by giving me seeds of healing (healing scriptures). When I didn�t see the healing, I would pray again, and God would answer my prayer again by giving me seeds of healing. Every time I would read and plant a scripture in my heart concerning healing it was a seed of healing. But since I was looking for fruits of healing I never saw the seeds, and therefore, never cultivated the seeds. I kept asking for healing and God kept giving me seeds, but I wasn�t looking for seeds. I was looking for the fruit. I never knew that God was answering my prayer all the time. Mark 11:24 states, therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. This verse made even more sense when I looked at it through the seed form mentality. When I ask for something from the Lord, he gives it to me in seed form, and though I cannot see the manifestation of what I am praying for I have received it. I have received it in �seed form�.
