Shalom,

Do you remember what the LORD God said to satan in the Garden after he had tricked Adam and Eve? Look at Genesis 3:14-15:

14 So the Lord God said to the serpent:

"Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field; on your belly you shall go,
And you shall eat dust all the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel." NKJV

Did you notice that the LORD God said that it would be the woman's "seed" that would bruise the head of the enemy? Do you know why THAT is significant? Woman does not HAVE seed! Men have seed, women have eggs! How is it even possible for her to have "seed"? Look at Luke 8:5-8 as Jesus gives the parable of the sower:

5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. 6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. 8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. KJV

The sower was sowing seed. Now let's see the explanation of this "seed" in verse 11:

11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. KJV

So the "seed" is the Word of God! Would you like to see how Mary sowed that seed? Let's go to today's Bible Reading Plan and look at Luke 1:30-35a where the angel Gabriel, sent from God, gave Mary the message directly from the throne of God:

30 And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end." 34 And Mary said to the angel, "How will this be, since I am a virgin?"  35 And the angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy— the Son of God.  ESV

The messenger angel gave Mary God's plan! Let's look at her response in verse 38:

38 And Mary said, "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her. ESV

The "word" of the angel was the "Word" of the Living God! When Mary believed and received this "Word", she spoke it out and the WORD of the LORD came to pass in her life! If she had not agreed to the Word of God, then He would have had to find someone else who WOULD agree, but she DID! HALLELUJAH! What does that tell us? IF we will also receive the Word of the Living God into our lives, believe it and then declare it, we WILL see the fulfillment of that Word spoken! AMEN! THAT is how the Word of God, our SEED, works! Find out what the Word of God is promising YOU and begin to speak it boldly into your life! There IS no other way for it to come to pass! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Live with "Anchor":


Shalom in Him!
