Genesis 12:2 ESV: And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.

Genesis 1:27-28 ESV: Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Genesis 1:29-30 ESV: Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

Sin doesn’t the blessing of multiplication but it. You will multiply. But, WHAT you multiply will be based on your in God.

Prophetic Word (January 2023): ‘I see a fresh tilled field that is ready for planting. Previously, this field was hardened. And over this field is a question: ‘What will you choose to do with it?’ This freshly tilled ground represents the miraculous work of the Lord. This ground was once hardened and overrun with fear, rebellion, sickness, loneliness, and anger. The Lord has broken those things over your life. This ground has been broken to show the willingness and kindness of the Lord. He desires to give you hope for a different harvest than the one you are used to.

God wants to redeem the land both internal and external. He has presented the opportunity for a different harvest. The choice is set before us.

I see the old desolate field becoming a great harvest of eternal blessings. Sow seeds of courage, seeds of obedience, seeds of compassion, seeds of forgiveness, seeds of surrender. Sowing your resources in the land that was once dead is scary, but the Lord will reward your faith. The man who is able to plant in faith will change the course of family lines.

Now is the time for planting. After, there will be a time of waiting. The waiting will be the hardest part. To be patient in the waiting will affect the harvest. Trust the Lord. Diligently plant your life in obedience to the Lord. Plant, wait, and expect an abundant harvest.’

Galatians 6:7-10 NIV: Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

Matthew 25:14-29 ESV: “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master’s money. Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground.Here, you have what is yours.’ But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
