100 Fold Harvest! Luke 8:1-16

I love the way God makes Himself known. I just love it. His presence poured over the Living Proof Live Simulcast with Beth Moore this weekend. Here are a few - or thirteen - of my favorite things:

1. Thanks to all Jesus has done for us, we can be women of means. (Luke 8:1-3)
   
2. Receive His Word, act on His Word, and watch Him produce a 100 fold harvest. Surrender your life to the maximum impact of the Word of God.
3. Treasure the wonder: we've been made privy to the secrets and mysteries of the knowledge of God. (Luke 8:10)
   
4. The Word of God makes us competently competent. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
5. Protect your heart: hide His Word in your heart and allow it to assimilate, resonate, and take root into the very depths of your faith. Don't allow anyone to snatch His Word away from you - His Word is not up for grabs!
6. God has a very accomplished purpose for every word He gives me. (Isaiah 55:10-12)
   
7. Expect the test: In times of tremendous suffering, agree to sow His seeds, for we will come out with sheaves of joy! (Psalm 126:5-6)
8. Dig the roots: Know that I know that I know that Jesus loves me. Your roots are as deep as you believe that God loves you. (Ephesians 3:17-19)
9. Stop the choke: anxiety chokes the word right out of you. Prayer is the cure for anxiety. (Philippians 4:6-7)
10. You "doing your thing" for God effects a thousand generations. (Exodus 20:5-7)
11. Retain the Word: possess it as your own.
12. Press forth to your 100 fold: persevere, no matter how long the road of obedience is, even if you think you've lost the vision, persevere.
13. There is a time when every answer will be given, when all mystery will be accomplished, but until then, we will tell the knowledge of the secrets of God that we know. (Revelation 10:5-7)

"Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown." Luke 8:8
