THE LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING (3 OF 3)

The Law of Sowing and Reaping (3 of 3)
Mark Baker
Luke 6:38
In the first 2 parts of this study we defined sowing and the purpose of the seed, as well as the purpose of the harvest. In the third part of this study I would like to talk about obedience in giving and how God supernaturally increases our seed. Let's start again with the words of Jesus.
Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed, and shaken, and running over, they shall give into your bosom; for with that measure with which ye measure, it shall be measured to you again.

I believe that the law of sowing and reaping applies to both, but in this case it is talking about monetary increase. In the King James translation it says that men will give unto your bosom and Young's says, they shall give into your bosom. If this were talking about spiritual blessing it would definitely not have said men or they would give unto our bosom. Because we know as James said -- James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

This is not only talking about just receiving, but receiving in such a way that it is truly more than we can even handle. It says these blessing would be running over, not only running over but pressed down, shaken, and then running over. Your basket will be so totally and completely full that it can a ...
