The kingdom of God is as if you cast the seed into the ground and it grows. The earth bringeth forth fruit. The earth is the heart. Jesus has already established that fact. It is going to produce the fruit.

All you have to do is be smart enough to speak it. Plant the seed and go to bed and get up. That is to go on about your daily affairs. That means not to worry and fret or be overly concerned. It doesn't mean to quit your job.

So many today have not understood the power of their words. That's why I make the statement that words are the most powerful things in the universe.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by him (the Word); and without him was not any thing made that was made.
(John 1:1,3)

The Power of Words
Without the Word of God there was nothing made that was made. I am convinced that, just as it was then, so is it now. There is no authority exercised without words. And God has given us authority over the devil. Hardly anything can be done without words.

Somebody may say, "Well, you could write it down." But it's still words. It's time that we give more thought to the words we speak. We should set a watch over our mouth. David said, "Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips" (Ps. 141:3).

Some people say, "Well, that just puts me in bondage, having to watch my words." But you don't know what bondage is, until you just say anything that you want to. That's the greatest bondage you can get into.

God has given us instruction. If you go by the Instruction Book, you will find it always works just like God said it would.

We must realize that God knew what He was talking about. If we will do what He said, we will have what He said we could have. Don't be a hearer only, but also be a doer of God's Word.

The Word of God is good news. It is the gospel, and it is the power of God.
