Sep 6 - Under Pressure? Plant!

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he 
also reap."
(Galatians 6:7)

Dear Addison,

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

I've seen it happen. When Jerry Savelle first began to work for my ministry, he 
didn't have but one suit of clothes and one shirt with a pair of slacks
to his name. He wore one, then the other, night after night to every service we 
held. He didn't have the money to even think about buying another suit.
I'm telling you, he was under pressure where clothes were concerned! 

Then he found out about the principle of seed-faith and harvest. So, he went 
downtown in the city where we were in a meeting and found a fellow on the
street who needed clothes and gave him some. Immediately people started giving 
Jerry clothes. It started in that meeting and they've been doing it ever
since. Today, there are many preachers in Africa wearing Jerry Savelle suits! 
(Even if the sleeves and pant legs are way too short!) He's still sowing
and reaping the greatest clothes harvest I've ever seen. 

If the devil's pressuring you, don't 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's feeling the pressure now?"
