Seed Power
John 12:24 “I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains [just one grain; it never becomes more but lives] by itself alone. But if it dies, it produces many others and yields a rich harvest.” (AMPC)

Mark 4:11 “And He said to them, To you has been entrusted the mystery of the kingdom of God [that is, the secret counsels of God which are hidden from the ungodly]; but for those outside [of our circle] everything becomes a parable” (AMPC).

Spiritual Capacity
John 15:7-8 “But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.”
Beginning today we are going to look at five areas to build capacity. The first is Spiritual Capacity. You need to build spiritual capacity and you do that by reading your Bible and praying every day. Read the rest of this entry
Implications
Acts 15:16 “After these things I will return, And I will rebuild the tent of David which has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, And I will restore it.” (AMP).
It is interesting to note that these places of worship were built by men, but they were houses of God. And in naming them God did not say this is the Temple of Jehovah, or the Tabernacle of Yahweh. Read the rest of this entry

Genesis 13:2-4 “(Abram was very rich in livestock, silver, and gold.) From the Negev, they continued traveling by stages toward Bethel, and they pitched their tents between Bethel and Ai… This was the same place where Abram had built the altar, and there he worshipped the Lord again.”
