The Season for Planting ~
Sowing in the Atmosphere of Faith
It is important that we know about seasons if we are going to sow and reap in the Kingdom of our God.
“Then He also said to the multitudes, Whenever you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, A shower is coming; and so it is. And when you see the south wind blow, you say, There will be hot weather; and there is. Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?”
(Luke 12:54-56 NKJV)
It is not good for us to leave all the knowing to God when the knowing is given to us for our good. A good farmer knows about seasons. He will plow, he will sow, he will care for and he will reap a harvest from his land, according to the seasons. A Season speaks of an establishment of the atmosphere. We are always in some kind of atmosphere that surrounds us and has great influence on any seed that is planted. A good farmer does not plant seeds in the wrong season or climate.
To you and I the climate to sow in financially is that of faith. In so doing: “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” (Hebrews 10:23 NKJV)
Because we do not want weeds and freeze to kill our seeds of finance we must not give in an atmosphere of sin: “. . . for whatever is not from faith is sin.” (Romans 14:23 NKJV)
Yet if we will create an atmosphere of faith to give into we will please God and His Kingdom will always react to the faith that we announce.
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” (Heb 11:6 NKJV)
That which you have given, for us to preach the gospel of God’s grace is a faith endeavor on your part. Rest assured that God the Father has placed into operation, the enlarging power of His Kingdom on your behalf. We are in faith by both receiving your bountiful gift and by believing God for an increase on your behalf.
When you are giving, give into an atmosphere that is charged with faith. If the atmosphere is not charged with faith then charge it! When you are sitting down to make out your check for your partnership giving, either to us or any other ministry, turn the music of God up loud, walk around the room and get into the high praises of God, and at the appropriate time, when faith has filled that room, and you believe God can do anything, then make out your check and send it off! You may say that this is crazy. But you will also say that it is crazy when you give and do not see a return and there is poverty and lack. These are issues of faith in God!

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress. Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matters of giving and receiving but you only. Not that [...]
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress. Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matters of giving and receiving but you only. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Phil 4:13 – 15, 17 &19 NKJV)
It is necessary that we continually teach and bring forth revelation of the Spirit in the matters of both giving and receiving. God, with His infinite wisdom, has blessed us with the ability to give so that we might be able to act like Him. “For God so loved the world that He gave . . .”
In so doing, we are set to receive from the treasuries of Heaven and the love from one another, instead of the riches of this world. His Kingdom is more than capable of keeping us in a “well supplied state of living, so much as we continue in love and not foolish pride, greed, or conceit.
Our dependency should always be on Him. We should verbalize it. We should remind ourselves of it. Each time that we are able to give, we should bring this point to the front of our intellectual mind. “I depend upon you Lord. You are my supply. You are the only source of riches that I am desiring!”
Now when it comes to sharing with those who are “out there” on the fields of ministry, there is a partnership of the real Spirit of God in these matters. When we are out plowing, sowing and reaping the harvest, and you support us, you receive the rewards of Heaven as if you were out there also.
This wonderful economy of Heaven is making us abound in every good work. You can rest assured that your offerings and your missionary dollars are being multiplied to your account, through us. We have given our lives for the sake of the gospel, not as an obligation, nor a vocation. Even from the age of 19, as a firefighter, until being truly born-again and entering into spiritual fighting of the fires of Hell in peoples lives. It is in our makeup to give out to the world and we will do so for the rest of our lives. However, we could not do this without supporters, (family) like you. That’s why we are partners.
We thank you. So will many others in the time to come!
