One morning while in prayer, the Lord began to impress this word on my heart. I have written it as it was given to me.
"This is an open season. Open season means it is a season for growing. It is a time to sow. Sow prayers of intercession; sow into the kingdom; sow new wells; sow the digging up of old wells; sow the remembrance of what God has done and what He has promised.
To sow - one must dig first. Begin to dig deep. Digging is the preparation. You can't just throw the seeds on the ground, you have to prepare. You have to dig; break up the hardness of the heart; throw out the stubborn rocks of the flesh; fertilize with the Word; water with the Spirit; prepare your heart, mind and flesh through discipline,repentance and the Word.
Sow to the Spirit, not to the flesh. Do not give in to the flesh. Do not give in to the carnal will but rather bend the will to run with the Spirit. You have control over your will; discipline it; train it to follow the Spirit not the flesh. Train it and you will yield the peaceful fruit of righteousness. Train yourself to listen to the Spirit. I will speak to you but you must learn to listen. Do not listen to your noisy soul, listen to the quieter voice within you.
It is a time of training. I want to teach My people. They must come and learn. I am in a teaching season. This is the time for My people to learn of Me. This is the time for My people to sow to the things of the Spirit. This is the time to grow in the Spirit. Harvest is coming. A harvest of people who hear My voice and act upon it. A harvest of people who will move in the supernatural. A harvest of people who will do great and mighty things for My kingdom. But first they must sow; must sow to Me; sow to My kingdom. I am not speaking of money. I am speaking of sowing their hearts, minds and souls. I am speaking of sowing prayer and worship and waiting. I am speaking of sowing meditating in My Word.
Then there will come a harvest of a mighty people of God who will go forth in My name. And I will be greatly pleased with this people and My anointing shall be upon them and they shall declare My Words. But first you must sow."

I keep thinking of the one line from Misty Edwards song "hunger is the escort to the deeper things of You"
God makes us hungry!

Amazing read, I'm psyched your daughter sent me this link today. God has really put it on my heart to do things today that other won't do in order to do things tomorrow others can't do. We must plant ourselves deep in Gods word and really build a relationship with him. Your blog spoke very true to where I'm at in my walk. Allowing God to educate me and spending my time purposefully is something I'm training myself to do. Thanks for the message! My name is Brian, I work with your daughter @ Mckeel.
