As you seek the voice of the Holy Spirit, He will begin to work on things that are in your life that keep you from living a life of abundance with Him. One of the main characteristics of Him is that He operates in love on a consistent and daily basis. Although you may have hurt feelings or your emotions keep you in a bitter or hateful demeanor, the Holy Spirit can work in you (if you allow Him) to soften and heal the pain that you feel. When you develop the Fruit of Love, you will not only be obedient to what He wants, but you will see that you spent too much time in negativity.

In today's podcast, you will begin to hear the importance of connecting with the Holy Spirit. God speaks to you through the Holy Spirit and you must be open to hearing His voice. He is there with you and He wants to help you in everything that you experience on earth. Regardless of what you have gone through thus far, God is still there and will continue to be there if you allow Him into your mind and your heart. It will be up to you to make a conscious choice to develop a personal relationship with Him. God is there with open arms ready to welcome you in.

As you listen to today's application, it becomes important to apply what you have learned with the Seed of Gossip and the Seed of Honesty. God wants you to be honest and truthful in your conversations with others, but also, in the conversation that you have with yourself. Listen to His voice and allow that to be the guidance of how you communicate with Him, others, and the thoughts that you have within.

God's Seed of Survival - The Seed of Honesty will help you to combat the Seed of Gossip. When you make the conscious choice of operating in God's characteristics, you will display integrity, credibility, and honesty in your demeanor. Learn from Jesus on how He displayed honesty and continue to seek God for more discipline in your conversations with others.

Please understand that just because you have fulfilled certain wants and desires from a lie, it will be short-lived. Listen and see how things can start off being enjoyable, but chaos and confusion will be around the corner.

The last root that is watered to grow inside of you from the Seed of Gossip is the Root of Lying. This root can be very destructive because it goes completely against what God says to do which is to speak truth. As a result, the Root of Lying is also one of the things that God hates. Always know that nothing good comes out of a lie.

Yesterday, I talked with you about the Root of Betrayal and you listened to how a betrayer could be affected in situations. Today, I am going to discuss how victims of betrayals are affected and how they may choose to handle situations that involve unpredictable and predictable betrayals. It becomes important to learn the six steps in order to move forward in your life when someone has betrayed you. 

The Root of Betrayal that is watered by the enemy can affect a person deeply and sometimes, it can be hard (but not impossible) for the person to overcome. This root can also affect each person involved differently. Today, listen and see how the betrayer deals with situations.

When the enemy plants the Root of Slander into you, you have decided to not only allow the Seed of Gossip to grow inside of you, but you also give yourself the permission to spread negative and false information about others. See how Jesus dealt with this root with the Pharisees and learn from Him. Also, meditate on the Scriptures Matthew 12:22-37.

Unlike most seeds, the enemy plants the Seed of Gossip into a person in settle ways and most people minimize its level of destruction. Listen and discover how the Seed of Gossip can form into you and cause detriment to your life.
