Chapter 1

 Seeds

Let us take a closer look at the word 'seed.' What does a seed do? And what is its definition? 

SEED: 'a small round or oval object produced by a plant, from which when it is planted a new plant can grow. It is the beginning of something new that continues to develop or grow, a source of beginning, offspring, sperm or semen.' 

So, when a seed is planted, it produces, and it grows. When the seed has sufficient environment and nutrients, it grows until it reaches maturity when not stopped. This seed will bring forth an offspring, similar to how the 'seed' of a man (or sperm) when inside the mother's womb and after conception took place will produce a baby 'under the correct conditions.' So a seed is planted, then grows, and it produces a product after its kind. A farmer, whenever he wants corn crops, will sow corn seeds and not potato seeds. Therefore the specific seeds sown are really very important. This shows us that what you sow, you will reap.

Galatians 6:7 NKJV

'Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.'

Now let us take a deeper look into spoken words. I liken spoken words to an 'invisible hand.' It comes out of your mouth while you are speaking. Words are as seeds, and these words, like an invisible hand, start building, constructing, creating, bringing the desired things on the scene into existence. In Greek, there is a word called 'lego.' The definition of the word 'lego' is: to say, to speak, to point out with words, to speak out, to tell, to lay forth (figuratively), to put word to word in speaking, to join words together.  

By reading the word 'lego,' most of us think about the plastic building blocks for kids to play with. It is also called 'Lego.' Except this last 'Lego' comes from the Danish word for 'play well.' Yet, we can compare it to the Greek word 'lego.' The plastic building blocks can be joined together and construct something. Most children like playing with these toys. These building blocks are from a Danish company that wanted to encourage children to build creatively. We can use this type of Lego [Danish] to visualize how it looks when we are speaking words we cannot see with our physical eyes. We then are 'legoing' [made this word up], we are building, we are constructing something, bringing things into existence and into creation. We are busy creating. You can also establish something with the words we speak. Well, to say it again, but with more emphasis: these things we are building, constructing, creating, and establishing are through our words. As if they are seeds that grow into something. It can become something negative that can harm us. Or it can become something positive that can benefit us. Just think for a moment and ask yourself, 'what are you saying?' 'what is coming out of your mouth?' Or better said, 'what have you been speaking all these years that are affecting your life today?'

Proverbs 18:20 NKJV say's

'[That] a man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; from the produce of his lips he shall be filled.'

To simplify this verse, we can say: whatever a whosoever (person) speaks, that is what he or she will eat. Please reread this line:

Whatever a whosoever (person) speaks, that is what he or she will eat and eventually be filled with.

Again:

Whatever you speak, that is what you will eat and be filled with.

So by getting to know these things about our words as seeds -or likened unto an invisible hand that comes out of your mouth and starts building- that can produce something beneficial in our lives or something harmful in our lives. That is then what we will eat and be filled with; from now on, I will refer to the words we speak as 'word-seeds.' 

Word-seeds

Have you ever eaten food that was unhealthy or expired, bad, rotten, and already spoiled? Whenever you have eaten unhealthy, passed, bad, rotten, already spoiled food, the results are health problems. For instance: it reduces energy levels, it can even affect your mind and mood in a negative way, nausea, an upset stomach, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or just feeling very sickly. You don't feel well after you have eaten them, you will also not look so good either. You might even have to go to the hospital, or worst-case scenario, die.

When we SPEAK unhealthily, expired, bad, rotten, already spoiled 'word-seeds,' the same health problems mentioned above can we experience but then in the spiritual realm. These unhealthy, expired, bad, rotten, already spoiled word-seeds then become and are the things we are building, constructing, creating, and establishing from which we will eventually eat the fruit. And be satisfied and filled with. Look at proverbs 18:20 NKJV again:

'A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; from the produce of his lips he shall be filled.'

Paraphrasing:

Whatever you speak, that is what you will eat and eventually be filled with.

And just as in the natural realm, you could see what kind of negative things can happen to your body. In the so to speak spiritual realm - the realm we cannot see with our physical eyes until these things come into physical manifestation- the effects are very harmful to us. It can cause sickness and disease in your natural body, depression, or it produces poverty and lack in your finances. It can make you tired, depleted, and so much more negative situations. It can even result in death.

Do you see this? It will produce harmful fruits in our lives. On the other hand, effects are shown with good 'word-seeds.' The same things happen, but now have a good outcome. That is the positive side when you eat healthy, wholesome, fresh, nutrient-dense food; the results are substantial. You will function better, have more energy, keep certain diseases away, and live longer. Additionally, it has a good effect on your mind and mood as well. It keeps your immune system strong, and you will also look good; your body will glow with health. The same principle applies when we SPEAK healthy, wholesome, fresh, nutrient-dense 'word-seeds.' These then are the things we are building, constructing, creating, and establishing from which we will eventually eat the fruit of and be filled with. 

Keep in mind proverbs 18:20 CSB:

'From the fruit of a person's mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is filled with the product of his lips.'

So here, you can see that these word-seeds bring forth beneficial fruits. These positive word-seeds will produce health, fitness in your body, prosperity and wealth in your finances, happiness, joy, and peace. That is what we will eventually eat the fruit of and be satisfied and filled with according to proverbs 18:20.

Example

For example, if your parents have brought you up and always heard them saying things like, 'you were an accident' or 'that you would never make it.' Or maybe that 'you are ugly,' 'you disgust me,' or that they hated you, that they wished you were never born. That 'you are a failure,' that you look so much like your deadbeat dad, 'you will live your life as a beggar.' These are all unhealthy, bad, rotten, expired, spoiled 'word-seeds.' And with them, your parents were building, constructing, creating, and establishing a miserable harmful life for you knowingly or unknowingly. So these invisible hands of words that came out of the mouth of your parents started to create that miserable life for you. Children believe almost everything their parents tell them. Presuming you believed these word-seeds spoken by your parents, who were an authority in your life, especially as a child, you yourself might even rehearse and speak them. Then, because you took them as truth, you mixed them with faith, these unhealthy, bad, rotten, expired, spoiled 'word-seeds.' You yourself now are speaking, and they become your blueprint of your life, your dominant thoughts and as the Word of God tells us in Proverbs 23:7 NKJV:

'For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.'

Proverbs 23:7 NASB:

'For as he thinks within himself, so is he.'

Proverbs 23:7 GNT:

'What he thinks is what he really is.'

On purpose, I wrote down some of the different translations of this Bible verse so your eyes can see it more clearly, and you will grasp it better.

Maybe you have started speaking the same as your parents word-seeds over yourself like: 

'I will never make it,' 'I have had already ten different kinds of jobs,' 'I am a failure that is why my spouse left me,' 'I am just ugly that's why no one wants to marry me,' 'every friend I have eventually goes away, I am not loved but hated,' 'see I got angry again so it is true that I should never have been born,' 'I always make a mess of things,' 'look here how clumsy I am,' 'I am poor as a church mouse.' 

What we can find herein is that these word-seeds have become deeply rooted trees within your life.

To make it a little clearer and put some science in here, there is a doctor by the name of Dr. Masaru Emoto. He did several experiments, which I will discuss, whereby he exposed water: to music, prayer, words spoken, words written, pictures, and videos. All the good words he used during this experiment were: love, thank you, appreciation, happiness, truth, peace. The water crystals became beautiful after being exposed to these words. Then he also used the bad sentences: 'you make me sick, I will kill you,' and the name 'Adolf Hitler,' the word 'demon,' the word 'hate' and the word 'anger' and he played rock music to it. Afterward, these water crystals looked terrible and bad. Now, if words spoken and written can do that to water, what can words do to us? Our body exists of almost 60% of water, our brain and heart of 73%, the lungs 83% of water, the skin contains 64% of water, muscles, and kidneys 79% even our bones consist of 31% of water [source usgs.gov.science]. This water is essential to our bodies. Let me list a few things water does in our body:

1. It regulates our internal body temperature by sweating and respiration

2. It acts as a shock absorber for the brain, spinal cord, and fetus

3. It forms saliva

4. Lubricates joints

5. Gives vital nutrients to the life of every cell, acts first as a building material

Ask yourself this question: what kind of music, words spoken, words written, prayer, pictures, or videos have I exposed myself to?

The researchers of Dr. Masaru Emoto did an experiment using a glass of Tokyo's tap water that seemed to be unable to form beautiful crystals—this time having children and adults standing all-around a table where this glass with Tokyo's tap water was placed. They were holding hands and thought about gratitude like they were sending gratitude to the water. Afterward, the researchers studied the water under a microscope and saw crystal formations that were beautiful in symmetry, and the crystals continued to grow. The children were so amazed by it and the adults as well.

In this latest experiment, thoughts of gratitude were used, and it changed the water crystals. Do you remember that I showed you the three different translations of the following verse?

In Proverbs 23:7 NKJV:

'For as he thinks in his heart, so is he'

The way you think also has a lot to do with what will come into existence in your life. Because out of the abundance of your heart, your mouth will speak. This simply means that your heart and mouth are agreeing. If they are on one page, it will produce something good or something bad.
