TRANSFORMATION: THE SEED 2

John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. [KING JAMES]

Transformation: To change in condition, nature, or character

John 12:24 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains [just one grain; it never becomes more but lives] by itself alone. But if it dies, it produces many others and yields a rich harvest. [AMPLIFIED]

That seed was created for a purpose. In order for the purpose to be realized that seed must fall into the ground, die, and be transformed. The same is true of your life. There is purpose in you that will manifest when you have your transformation. According to the word, that seed will experience change when it “fall into the ground.” That word fall in the Greek is Pipto, which is related to the idea of “alighting,” which means to descend from a train, bus, or other mode of transportation. To fall into Him, you will have to exit what has been carrying you. YOUR WAY OF BEING AND DOING MUST COME TO AN END. You must trust and rely on your new dwelling place knowing that he knows what is required for your growth and fruitfulness. Don't spend a lifetime not reaching your full potential. Your success is in you and it takes the One who created you to orchestrate your life to the point of extraction. TRUST HIM. Regardless of what you may be experiencing, your life has a purpose. He created you with a plan in mind.

Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. [AMPLIFIED]

You were chosen and assigned a purpose even before your mother conceived you. What you are to be was predetermined by God. It is fixed. Nothing can change what God created you to be and to accomplish in your life not even your challenges. You were created for greatness. You were created to do awesome and amazing things on earth. There is greatness in you that will manifest through YOUR transformation process.

Romans 8:18 [But what of that?] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and[a]for us and[b]conferred on us! [AMPLIFIED]

Unless you allow yourself to submit to the Lord and His Word, you will not be able to survive the pressure of transformation and fully inherit the totality of the promises God has for you. Honestly, the struggle is real. The soul wars with whether it will obey the desires of the flesh or the will of the spirit.

Romans 7:18-19 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. [KING JAMES]

19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

That seed will have to travel through a process, a series of events some good and some not so good, but the reason for the events are to cause death to the seed so that purpose can be brought forth. It is the realization of that purpose that dictates the success or failure of that seed. In other words, success or failure is determined by whether that seed becomes what it was created to become and not by what it goes through to become. You will hit some painful times in your transformation process, but they do not define you. They are there to BREAK YOU FORTH.

Psalm 66:12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. [KING JAMES]

If the seed endures the planting season, it will see the light of day. Get planted and stay planted until you give birth to your purpose.

John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. [KING JAMES]

Acts 17:28 says "For in him we live, and move, and have our being.." Jesus is the Word of God. When He is talking about you abiding in Him, He is talking about you abiding in the Word. He needs you to plant your life in His Word, and trust the transformation process that the Word will take you through. Let the Word do the work on you and in you. Standing on the Word is good, but if you want to get to the good life that He has promised you will have to plant yourself in His Word. While you are in your planting season the Word is preparing you.

The Purpose of the Word

The Word will heal you:

Psalm 107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. [KING JAMES]

The Word will strengthen you:

Psalm 119:28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. [KING JAMES]

The Word will develop you:

Psalm 1:2-3 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. [KING JAMES]

The Word will prosper you:

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. [KING JAMES]
