In today's episode, we’re diving into a topic that touches each of us: the importance of breaking up our fallow ground. Each of us has uncultivated ground in our lives that we have yet to put to productive use. Waiting can prevent us from cultivating our unplowed fields. We tend to postpone what needs to be done, putting our lives on pause in certain areas. Sometimes, we indulge in unwholesome habits, justifying them by the seeming lack of answers to our prayers. But God calls us to cultivate our lives, to sow seeds of righteousness, and to prepare our hearts for the blessings He has in store. Join me as we discover practical steps to break up the unplowed ground in our lives and embrace the fruitful harvest that awaits us. Hosea 10:12 (EASY): "Be like a farmer who plants good seed. Plant things that are good and right. Then your harvest will be faithful love. Plough the hard ground and prepare it for the LORD to bless you. It is time for you to turn back to the LORD. Then he will bless you with good things, like rain that falls on the ground!"

It is okay to you acknowledge and assess the problem; you shouldn’t live in denial. But don’t stop there; there are a couple of things you can do at such times, and we will be considering one of them today. And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak 2 Corinthians 4:13 NKJV Don’t allow hopelessness and despair get the better of you, arise and speak

We frequently lose sight of God's immeasurable grace in our lives when we are in need. We are so preoccupied with what we lack or the situation we are in that we fail to recognize that God is still mindful of us. 1 Peter 5:7 AMP- Casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].

You are precious and honored in God's sight. He sees you and is present in that struggle. Don’t allow the enemy to deceive you; God’s love is steadfast and unwavering. He is concerned for men and animals alike. I urge you to use this method for all of your concerns, fears, worries, and other issues. After acknowledging them, weigh them against God's steadfast love and faithfulness. Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O Lord. How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings. Psalm 36:5-7 New Living Translation

Faith speaks what it believes. We have the same Spirit of faith that is described in the Scriptures when it says, “First I believed, then I spoke in faith.” So we also first believe then speak in faith. 2 Corinthians 4:13 TPT

We are in a time where everything that was previously fruitless and barren will be fruitful and overflow with fruits. “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “When the plowman shall overtake the one who gathers the harvest, And the one who treads the grapes [shall overtake] him who sows the seed [for the harvest continues until planting time]; When the mountains will drip sweet wine And all the hills shall melt [that is, everything that was once barren will overflow with streams of blessing]. Amos 9:13 AMP

Imagine the wilderness whooping for joy, the desert’s unbridled happiness with its spring flowers. It will happen! The deserts will come alive with new growth budding and blooming, singing and celebrating with sheer delight. The glory of Lebanon’s cedars and the majesty of Carmel and Sharon will spill over to the deserts. The glory of the Eternal One will be on full display there, and they will revel in the majestic splendor of our God. Isaiah 35:1-2 Voice Yet at the scent of water [the stump of the tree] will flourish And bring forth sprigs and shoots like a seedling. Job 14:9 AMP

Now it happened after many days that the word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third year, saying, “Go, show yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the face of the earth.” Now Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of the roar of an abundance of rain.” In a little while the sky grew dark with clouds and wind, and there were heavy showers. And Ahab mounted and rode [his chariot] and went [inland] to [a]Jezreel. 1 kings 18: 1, 41, & 45 Voice For all the years of your waiting and seeming drought situations, I declare the rain is here and in abundance.
