Under Pressure? Plant!

If you feel like you are under pressure these days, you are not alone.  Satan is putting more pressure on more people right now than ever before.  He is pressuring us mentally, financially, emotionally and every other way he can.  The pressure has gotten so great everywhere, that governments do not know what to do.  Businesses do not know what to do.  Families do not know.  Churches do not know.

But praise God, Jesus does!  He says we can give our way right out from under any pressure the devil brings to bear.

Giving is always Jesus’ way out.  Whenever there is a need, He plants a seed!  In fact, in Mark 4, He compares the entire kingdom of God to a seed.  Just think about the importance of seeds for a moment.  Every living thing on this earth came from a seed.  You came from a seed.  Then you were born again from the seed of God’s Word.  Jesus Himself was The Seed planted by God.  God sowed Him in sacrifice.  He came forth and grew up into many brethren.

So, when satan puts you under pressure, go to Jesus and let Him tell you how and where to plant.  If you will do it, that seed will grow up until it breaks the powers of darkness and lack.  It will release you from the pressure the devil’s been putting on you.

“Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.)  [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.]  For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap.”  Galatians 6:7 (AMPC)

If the devil’s pressuring you, do not panic, plant!  Plant your time.  Plant your money.  Plant the clothes off your back.  When your harvest comes in, you can laugh and say, “Hey, devil, who is feeling the pressure now?”

“Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus.  Thank you that when the pressures of life seem heavy, when all seems lost, You are the light that lights my way.  Thank you that I can always count on and rely on You in everything I do.  That You meet EVERY need, You are so great.  Amen.”

God’s Richest Love and Blessings be yours in Jesus’ Name.
