If It’s in the Seed, It’s in You!

By Tammy Lacock

“Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered.” (Hebrews 5:8 KJV)

In Part 2 of “What’s in The Seed?”, Warren Litzman keeps us focused on God’s Seed, Christ, planted in our spirits as believers. To understand what God is doing in our lives, we must first understand what’s in this seed.

In Part 1, Warren showed that new life is in the seed, Christ. By Christ’s seed, we are born again. At salvation, Christ’s nature and traits replace the sin-nature passed down by the curse of Adam. Christ is our new life; we are partakers of His divine nature.

Warren explains with Hebrews 5:8 that we begin to truly learn and experience our new life in Christ through our hurts and suffering just as Christ learned obedience through His suffering and death. He knew that new Life only comes by His suffering and death. When He drank of the cup in Gethsemane, all of our sins and transgressions went into His body so that when He died, we died, too! He loved us so much that He suffered and died so we would be free from the sin and bonds of this world. When He arose to a new life, we arose to a new life in Him, by placing His seed in our spirits.

“For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:10 KJV)

It’s by the sufferings in our circumstances and situations where we begin to develop a personal relationship with the Christ that now lives in us. In it’s our sufferings where we break through the hull of Christ’s Seed so He can flow through. There’s no other way to grow closer to Him. We must first know, however, who we are now!

We need to understand and know now that we are birthed children of God! Our old lives died, and we are born again into His family.

We are here to get to know our new family!

God’s intention for us is completed by the Seed of Christ in our spirits. We are spiritually complete in Him, while our souls are presently being transformed as the Holy Spirit works in our minds to help us understand who we are now.

Now in God’s family, His fruit of His Seed begins to come through us now. It’s His love, His joy, His peace, His goodness, His kindness, His gentleness, His self-control, His patience coming through us.

By our sufferings in our circumstances, we begin to see and know Christ in every situation.

Over 100 times, the New Testament tells us we are “in Christ,” we are one with Him.

Put your confidence in Him. Give yourself over to Him. All that we need is in Him, His seed that is planted in us now. Let Him take over and come through you in your sufferings.

He doesn’t give us strength; He IS our strength!

“I can do all things through Christ which strengthen the me.” (Philippians 4:13 KJV)
