Root System

The root thrives depending on what type of soil it is growing in. In my former back acre, the soil was depleted, the only rain it received was from the Lord, and it produced only weeds. However, in my garden, the roots were in loose soil. The roots could freely spread to gather in all the nutrients. It was consistently watered by me.

All seeds are designed to produce fruit. Genesis 1:29 says, “And God said, See I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.”

That was great until man sinned. Genesis 3:17-18 says, “…Cursed is the ground for your sake…Both thorns and thistles it shall brig forth for you…”

Remember the young man who was negligent in caring for his vineyard? Proverbs 24:31 says, “There it was, all overgrown with thorns; its surface was covered with nettles…”

Removing Weed Seeds

I had a back field behind my house. It was full of thistles, and weeds of every sort. The weed seeds would blow into my vegetable and flower beds. They were a constant nuisance.

Nuisance definition: something that invades or interferes with another’s rights or interests (as the use or enjoyment of property) by being offensive, annoying, dangerous, obstructive, or unhealthful. Great definition for weed seed thoughts.

Internal strongholds that oppose God’s will and ways continually propagate weed seeds. These are rogue thoughts that invade and obstruct our view of ourselves through God’s truth. Scripture is our strategic weapon. 2 Corinthians 10:4 says, “For the weapons of our warfare are…mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.”

Verse 5 says, “Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” Weed-seed-lies are ‘high things’ planted to distract us from our faith in God alone.
