When we sow seed towards the work of God(Kingdom work). When we sow it not only in faith but in obedience to God's word. Expecting God to get the glory out of our seed. We can expect for God to multiply our seed and give it back unto us in a greater measure.

in the world we hoard to have,but in the Kingdom we give to have.

Pressed down. The word of God is so real,true and practical. I thank you God for your word. Amen.

James's comment on 2015-01-30 13:11:54:

Does it mean when I put God's word in side me and now it is God that is within me I get more of God's word back in my life to give away to others?

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. We serve a God that is of an abundance, and when we give he gives back to us in overflow, more than what we ask, because his abundant return is for us to receive as a blessing to be a help for others. And when we do this, people are able to see the love of God in us, for greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world.

Kimberly's comment on 2014-07-30 12:31:15:

To give is a blessing. It 's our God given duty to be a blessing to others. As you are blessing your brothers and sisters blessing shall come back to you as well.

Anthony's comment on 2014-01-28 19:43:11:

this has so much meaning and so powerful....What comes to mind is when I was young my father made me go out and pick up leaves in the yard we put them in trash bags and in order to over fill them we would shake them down and press them to gather sit on the bag too push the air out to put more leaves in, when we were done it would be so many leaves in one bag, if it would pop leaves would go everywhere, it was so full,, press down shaken together and running over..................God is so good,, Amen??
