No root develops without a seed. And no seed comes to life until it is dropped into and cared for in good soil. A seed has to be planted and embraced by the soil. Then the roots come.

So, there is a source and a receiver. The source is the seed, the receiver is the soil, and the result is the root, which gives rise to a tree and its fruit.

Without a transmitter and a receiver, nothing happens.

The light of the sun illuminates the planets and the stars, but space itself remains dark. Why is that? Because it has no physical body to act as a receiver of the sun’s light. Not that there is no light in space. In fact, the sun’s light reaches every corner of the galaxy — but it is only seen when the body of a receiver reflects it.

The same thing occurs with electricity, with radio waves, the Internet, a telephone, the wind, and every other form of energy and communication that exists. In order for them to work, there needs to be a receiver.

Right now, you can read this text only because a piece of paper or a computer screen produces an image with letters on it, and your eyes transmit this to your brain — which is the receiver of this message, and which gives you understanding.

If I speak, you only hear me because my vocal cords produce a sound. Your ears hear it and transmit it to your brain — which is the receiver of my voice and which makes sense of those sounds.

Energy is present all the time in every place — but it only has an effect when there is a connection between transmitter and receiver.

It’s no different in the spiritual world.

But the devil knows this. Sadly, he knows only too well how to sow his bad seed in human hearts — which, we might as well admit, are easy and willing receivers of all that is bad, and normally resistant to what is good.

Because of this, the devil has directed all types of negative energy toward mankind. He does this all the time — with you, with me, with everyone. Only those who learn to “unplug the receiver” and reject the negative energy of evil, are unaffected by it.

On one hand, evil emits its negative waves in the hope that someone will receive them, but on the other hand, Good also emits its positive energy. Faith is the receiver of the energy of God, transmitted by way of His Word. When His Word is spoken, those who believe (receive it) are blessed.

Look at this wonderful example:

And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.” Luke 17:5-6

When a blessing does not come, or when a prayer is not answered, we normally think it is because our faith was too small. But that’s wrong. The size of our faith does not affect anything. What does have an effect is whether or not our faith accepts the Word of God 100%!

This faith without doubt, 100% receiver of the Word of God, gives us authority to say to any problem, “Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the depths of hell!” — and it will be done!

Any and all bad roots in your life can be cut off by this faith. This energy of God penetrates where psychology cannot, where medicines cannot reach, and where human intelligence is not enough. It can do anything, because all things are possible for those who believe — to those who receive the Word of God without doubt!

Right now, there where you are, you can receive this energy that I am talking about!
