Pruebas 3.1 y 3.2: Laberintos Dinámicos

If you humble yourself and receive this truth, it will provide you with an answer to why you aren't seeing any more victory in your life than you are. It will explain why you aren't seeing more of the power of God at work. The average person isn't meditating in the Word of God. They aren't spending time—both quality and quantity amounts

of time—in God's Word. The average person doesn't have a good understanding of the Word of God.

I can attest to this because I deal with thousands of people on a regular basis. Nearly every person comes to me with their sad story. They come to me crying and complaining.

And yet, you could take their knowledge of God's Word and put it in a thimble, and it would be nearly empty.

They don't know what the Word of God says. They might say,"My pastor said.. ."or "I believe the Bible says this somewhere."That's not going to get you healed! The Word of God must be revelation to you. It has to be alive in you.

It never will be if you haven't taken the promises like a seed, planted them in your heart, meditated on them, and seen the Word of God work.

You're wondering, Why isn't God answering my prayer?

He's given us these seeds but we haven't planted them!

That's like someone praying over their ground and saying,

"God, why haven't You let this garden grow?"They didn't plant the seeds!

God has established natural laws, and He's not going to break them. He's also established spiritual laws, and He won't break them either. God's Word tell us that the Lord has "sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions" (Psalm 107:20). All through the Word are promises revealing God as our Healer and Provider and attesting to how He wants to prosper us, but to see His healing and provision you must take God's Word and start planting it in your life.

One reason the Lord used this parable about a man sowing seed is because the process of germination is a natural system, not a social system. Social—man-made or

man-operated—systems can be broken or manipulated.

Most of us have been through school, and many of us didn't really study for our tests the way we should. We goofed off with our friends and waited until the last minute to prepare. Then, the night before the exam, we stayed up all night and crammed for the final. We were able to pass the test, get a grade, and graduate, but we broke the system. We didn't learn the material. It's not retained in our long-term memory. We just circumvented things to skirt by. You can't do that with a natural system.

"I DON'T UNDERSTAND!"

A certain man who attended a Bible study I used to hold was probably one of the worst sinners in that whole county. He was a drunk and a womanizer. He did

anything and everything. Then he was miraculously born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit. Just as much as he had served the devil, he turned around and now served God with all his heart. Everybody in the county was aware of what had happened to this man. He couldn't go anywhere—the post office, grocery store, or gas station—

without people recognizing the transformation. Because of this, he had many opportunities to be a witness. He started talking to everybody about the Lord. This man opened up his home and had me come in to teach the Word. Sixty or seventy people were coming to this Bible study just to see the change in this man.

This brother had tremendous zeal, but he made some serious mistakes because he didn't have very much knowledge of the Word. He started traveling and giving his testimony in many different meetings on top of all he was doing in his church. Because of this busy schedule, he just didn't have time to plant his crops the way he

normally did. This guy owned so much land that he

counted it in sections. Each section was 640 acres. Now, he didn't have time to plant his wheat crop because he was too busy giving his testimony for the Lord and being a witness to people. Since his desire and heart was right—

he was loving the Lord, and all these things were good—

this fellow just supposed that God would supernaturally bless him with a crop even though he didn't take time to sow it.

The wheat season progressed, and it was about three weeks or so before everybody else would harvest their crop. Their wheat was up, had already started turning golden in color, and they were getting ready to harvest.

About that time, this man went out and borrowed

$500,000 to buy wheat seed. (That will tell you how much land he had to plant!) He spent weeks planting half a million dollars worth of wheat just days before the harvest was supposed to come. He thought that God would grant him a supernatural harvest because he had been out doing "the Lord's work."

Of course, this supernatural harvest didn't happen. When his wheat didn't grow up, and he didn't harvest it, he lost all of this money. He was in jeopardy of going bankrupt.

This man came to me wanting prayer. He was angry, saying, "I don't understand why God didn't give me this harvest!"

I had to tell him, "That isn't the way the kingdom works.

You have to plant your seed at a certain time, and give it time to grow and mature. These are just natural laws."

He countered, saying, "I know that's the way it works. I've been doing this for years. But I thought that since I was in

the Spirit that things would just work differently."
