Make “Death Plants” Wither Away
“So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” (Romans 8:12-13 WEB)
The apostle Paul was addressing believers in the passage above—he said “brothers”.
We see that sowing to the flesh (indulging its lusts, cravings, and sinful passions) results in reaping earthly consequences of death, and this is not inflicted by God.
This is just the principle of sowing and reaping taking effect. This principle has been at work since God created the world.
“God said, “Let the earth yield grass, herbs yielding seeds, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with their seeds in it, on the earth”; and it was so. The earth yielded grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with their seeds in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good…God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.” (Genesis 1:11-12, 29 WEB)
We see from the Book of Proverbs that this principle of sowing and reaping is not limited to plant seeds, but also seeds like our spoken words:
“A man’s stomach is filled with the fruit of his mouth. With the harvest of his lips he is satisfied. Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:20-21 WEB)
When we speak, we sow seeds of either life or death. These seeds can produce a harvest of fruits after its kind.
To understand sowing, look at the natural process of growing a plant seed.
A seed has to be planted in the soil (the human heart is like soil) and watered. It is a process that happens progressively over time, not instantly.
An exception to this is when God gives a miracle that compresses time. Otherwise, the process of sowing and reaping takes time to happen.
“Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, produces death.” (James 1:13-15 WEB)
See how lust is depicted as a seed in the passage above. Firstly, it conceives when initially planted and watered in the heart, and begins to bear sin (the first occurrence of committing sin outwardly). The sin then keeps growing if constantly watered, and eventually when it is a full grown fruit, it produces death.
When sinful habits are constantly watered, the consequences become more severe. You can kill that plant when you stop watering it and instead spray some effective herbicide called “the Gospel of Jesus Christ”.
Such plants are also Satanic strongholds which can be destroyed by the “obedience of Christ”. Apply Jesus’ finished work to your situation and see how He has redeemed you from that habit through His sacrifice at the cross. He has made you the righteousness of God. You are now holy, just, blameless, and pure. Your reborn spirit does not manufacture sin and has no desire to.
You can also curse it to its roots and cause it to wither up, just as Jesus cursed the fig tree.
“Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away. When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?” Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done. All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” (Matthew 21:19-22 WEB)
Instead of trying to break your sinful habit through willpower, secular counseling, or punishing yourself, use the power of your faith-filled spoken words.
Declare with me: “In Jesus’ name, I curse this death-bearing plant of _______ (the name of your sinful habit) to its roots. Let it wither away now and produce no more fruit forever. I have lost all desire to water this plant. I have been set free from the bondage, and I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Amen!”
