The Seed‑Son: The Mystery of God’s Reproduction

Every generation asks, Who is the Son of God? But few ever ask the deeper question: What is the Son of God? Scripture speaks of Him not only as a Person but as a Seed, a Word, a Logos—containing within Himself the entire destiny of God’s purpose. To understand Christ is to understand the mystery of God’s reproduction, the mystery of election, and the mystery of the sons and daughters who will bear His image in the final harvest.

The Son of God is the Seed‑Word in whom the fullness of God and the destiny of His elect are written; and those whom the Father reveals this Seed to are the very ones through whom He will reproduce Himself, manifest His life, and finish His work on earth.

The Son as the Seed‑Word

“In the beginning was the Word.” Yahweh declares Himself the First, the Beginning, the One who calls all generations from the start. Christ likewise says He is the Alpha, the Beginning, the First. The Father is the Word, and the Word is the Logos, and the Logos is the Seed. Christ Himself interprets the parable: “The seed is the word of God.” Therefore the Seed/Word/Logos “was made flesh and dwelt among us,” and this Seed was called both the Son of God and the Son of Man. Christ is the Seed‑Son, the grain of wheat that must fall into the ground and die to bring forth much fruit. (Isaiah 41:4; John 1:1,14; Revelation 1:8; Luke 8:11; John 12:24)

The Seed Contains the Fullness of God and the Names of His Elect

Just as a tiny garden seed contains the entire destiny of the plant—from germination to harvest—so the Seed‑Son contains “all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” Inside this divine Seed is written the destiny of all whom He will reproduce Himself through. The Father’s business is the reproduction of Himself, and the Son declared, “I must be about My Father’s business.” The Seed is not merely Christ’s identity; it is the blueprint of God’s entire family, the encoded life of every son and daughter who will be conformed to His image. (Colossians 2:9; Luke 2:49; Romans 8:29)

The Son Reveals Himself Only to the Elect

Who is destined to see the Living Word? Scripture answers plainly: only those to whom He chooses to reveal Himself. “I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.” It is not of him who wills nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. Jacob was loved; Esau was not chosen. This is not cruelty—it is the austere wisdom of God, who chooses vessels for His glory. Christ Himself prayed, “They were Yours, and You gave them to Me.” Those who receive His words, believe His sending, and keep His truth are the ones chosen to behold the Seed‑Son. (Romans 9:13–16; John 17:6–10)

The Elect Are Given to the Son for Reproduction and Warfare

Because we are given to Christ, we are not our own. We were bought with a price—the ransom of His own life. The Father gave Him souls who would follow Him into the hundredfold harvest, souls who would not follow a stranger’s voice. These chosen ones are enlisted into Yahweh’s spiritual army. The Old Testament battles, tribes, and patriarchs serve as types and shadows of the warfare required to defeat Satan today. The New Testament saints are like knights conquering strongholds, answering the call of the Father’s army. If God is for us, who can be against us? (1 Corinthians 6:20; Matthew 13:23; John 10:4–5; Romans 8:31; Hebrews 11)

The Seed‑Son Reproduces Himself Through His Body

In Christ we are part of the Seed‑Son. He is sowing His people across the earth. Some say the Genesis Seed has already been harvested in Christ, but Scripture shows the harvest is not yet complete. Christ is the Seed planted at His death and raised at His resurrection; His body is the field in which He multiplies Himself. Therefore, we must do what Christ is doing: believe on Him whom the Father has sent, finish His work, and bear witness to the truth of God’s reproduction. When the Seed germinates in us, resurrection power will manifest through signs and wonders. And it all begins with wisdom and knowledge—the first gifts of the Spirit—given to equip us for His purpose. (John 6:29; John 4:34; Matthew 13:38; John 14:12; 1 Corinthians 12:8)

Conclusion The Son of God is the Seed‑Word—the divine Logos containing the fullness of God and the destiny of His elect. Those whom the Father chooses to reveal this Seed to are the ones given to Christ for reproduction, transformation, and spiritual warfare. As the Seed germinates within His people, they become the instruments through whom God finishes His work on earth. The harvest is coming. The sons and daughters are rising. And the Seed‑Son will multiply Himself until the Father’s purpose is complete.   Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Sent to Speak His Words: The Mission of Christ in Us

Every movement of God begins with a sending.

The Father sends the Son. The Son sends His apostles. And now, in these last days, He sends His body—the church—to finish the testimony of His Kingdom. To understand our calling, we must first understand His sending, for no one can walk in apostolic power who has not first seen the pattern of the Father.

Thesis

Because the Father sent the Son into the world, and because the Son now lives in His body—the church—every true believer is likewise sent to speak the Father’s words, bear witness to the Son, and participate in His ongoing work of reconciliation.

The Father Sends the Son

The foundation of all mission begins with this: the Father sent (apostellō in the Greek) the Son. Christ did not come of Himself; He came as the Father’s emissary, carrying the Father’s words, the Father’s works, and the fullness of the Father’s Spirit. Scripture declares, “Yahweh was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself,” meaning that the sending of the Son was the sending of God’s own presence into human flesh. When we believe that the Father truly sent the Son, we are positioned to understand our own sending, for the pattern of divine mission begins in Him and extends through His body. (2 Corinthians 5:19; John 3:17; John 20:21)

The Son Sends His Body

Because we believe the testimony of His resurrection, we are placed in the Son—made partakers of His life, His Spirit, and His mission. The church is not merely an assembly; it is the body of Christ, animated by His indwelling Spirit. Thus, the sending of the Son becomes the sending of His people. The prophet John the Baptist said, “He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives not the Spirit by measure unto Him.” If Christ lives in us, then His sending becomes our sending, and His words become our words. We are not sent in our own strength but in His resurrection life, bearing witness to the truth as members of His body. (Galatians 2:20; John 3:34; Romans 10:9; John 20:21)

Purging the Old Leaven to Speak God’s Words

Yet a sobering question arises: If the one whom God sends speaks God’s words, what happens when believers speak error? Many claim to speak for God while teaching doctrines born of human tradition. This is why Paul commands us to “purge out the old leaven,” the leaven of insincerity, falsehood, and fleshly reasoning. The Father prunes every branch in the vine so that Christ—not the old man—may speak through us. Only a purified vessel can carry the words of God with accuracy. To be sent is not merely to go; it is to be cleansed, pruned, and filled with the Spirit so that Christ Himself may speak through His people. (1 Corinthians 5:7–8; John 15:1–5; John 3:34)

Sent to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel

Christ declared that He was “sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” If we are His body, then His mission becomes our mission. Yet few in the modern church understand what this means. The lost sheep are the ten lost tribes of ancient Israel. Who are they today? The mind of Christ is still thinking about them. And the Great Shepherd will find them and restore them in our day.  As Christ walked, so must we walk: sent to proclaim the Kingdom, sent to heal the brokenhearted, sent to preach deliverance to the captives, sent to open blind eyes. John the Baptist was sent to bear witness of the Light; Christ was sent to preach the Kingdom; and now His Spirit sends us to continue His work. (Matthew 15:24; Luke 4:18–19; Luke 4:43; John 1:6–7; John 10:16)

Apostolic Power Through Indwelling Presence

Apostolic sending is not a title—it is a manifestation of Christ walking in His people. When He walks in us, then we are apostles, not by office but by participation in His mission. The same Spirit that sent Christ now sends His body. When the Holy Spirit moves through us, His power is sent forth to reconcile, to heal, to proclaim, and to reveal the government of God. We are not sent to speak our own ideas but to speak the words of the One who lives within us. As the Father sent the Son, and as the Son sends His church, so the Spirit sends His power through yielded vessels who walk in resurrection life. (John 20:21–22; Acts 1:8; Luke 4:18; John 14:12)

Conclusion

The sending of God is a divine chain: the Father sends the Son, the Son sends His body, and the Spirit sends His power through those who believe. To walk in this sending, we must believe the testimony of His resurrection, purge the old leaven, and yield ourselves as vessels through whom Christ continues His work. We are sent to bear witness of the Light, sent to proclaim the Kingdom, sent to the lost sheep, and sent to speak the Father’s words with purity. The mission of Christ did not end at His ascension—it continues in His body. And as long as He lives in us, we are sent.

Esau/Edom Versus Jacob/Israel—Two Nations at War

The story of Esau and Jacob is not merely an ancient family struggle; it is the seed of a conflict that will ripen at the end of the age. Scripture teaches that the harvest is always hidden in the seed, and the end is always concealed in the beginning. Genesis—the seed book—contains in embryonic form the spiritual patterns that will blossom into full maturity in the last days.

The rivalry between Esau/Edom and Jacob/Israel in Genesis is the divinely planted seed of a conflict that will reach its full harvest at the end of the age. What began in the womb of Rebekah will culminate in the final separation of tares and wheat, of the rejected seed and the chosen seed, at the return of Christ.

To demonstrate this, you and I will (1) examine the seed‑beginnings of Esau and Jacob in Genesis, (2) trace the prophetic declarations concerning their descendants, (3) follow the development of these two nations through Scripture and history, and (4) show how Christ and the prophets identify their final harvest at the end of the age. By studying the seed, we will understand the harvest.

Two Nations at War

The conflict between Esau and Jacob is not a minor subplot in Genesis. It occupies nearly half the book because it is seed—the beginning of a spiritual and historical struggle that will be harvested at the end of the age. If one desires to understand the final conflict, one must study its beginnings. For the end is hidden in the beginning, and the harvest is hidden in the seed (Genesis 25–50; Ecclesiastes 3:2). Genesis is the seed book; we are living in the harvest (Matthew 24:32–35).

Two Nations, Two Manners of People

Their story begins in the womb of Rebekah, where Yahweh declares:

“Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels.” (Genesis 25:23)

This is not merely biological; it is prophetic. The “two nations” (Hebrew gôyim) and the “two manners of people” (Hebrew le’ummim) are distinct categories—one political, one spiritual. Their story begins in Genesis, the seed book, and will end at the harvest of the world, at the end of this age.

Esau and Jacob performed many deeds that serve as seeds—patterns—that will be harvested in the last days. A prophet is one who studies these seed‑beginnings, traces the seed line through history, and listens as the Spirit reveals the harvest.

The Birthright and the Blessing

Esau, the firstborn, possessed the birthright—the covenantal inheritance passed from Abraham to Isaac. It included:

  • the covenant promises,
  • the blessing of land,
  • the priestly leadership of the family,
  • and the lineage through which Messiah would come.

Yet Esau despised this holy inheritance. Driven by appetite, he sold his birthright to Jacob for a single meal (Genesis 25:29–34). Later, Jacob—by divine prophecy and providence—received the blessing meant for the firstborn (Genesis 27). This blessing included:

  • dominion,
  • fruitfulness,
  • covenant favor,
  • and the promise that nations and kings would arise from his line.

Esau became bitter and hated Jacob, withstanding him at every turn. This hostility became the seed of a future enmity.

Are Esau and Jacob’s Offspring Still in the Earth Today?

Some doubt it. But Scripture does not. Malachi speaks around 400 B.C.—long after the ten‑tribe Kingdom of Israel was scattered by Assyria (c. 721 B.C.) and long after Judah was taken captive by Babylon (c. 600 B.C.).

Yet Yahweh still addresses Jacob’s offspring: “I have loved you, saith Yahweh… I loved Jacob, but I hated Esau.” (Malachi 1:2–3)

He speaks of Esau’s descendants in Edom in the future tense, declaring that though they attempt to rebuild, He will tear down again. This shows:

  • Jacob’s seed still existed,
  • Esau’s seed still existed,
  • and their destinies were still unfolding.

Christ Himself confirms this continuity:

“I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the House of Israel.” (Matthew 15:24) The same Spirit that spoke through Malachi speaks through Christ.

Historical Development of Esau/Edom

Edom was conquered by Judah around 125 B.C. Under John Hyrcanus, the Edomites were forcibly converted to Judaism. Within a century, these converted Edomites rose to power in Jerusalem—politically and religiously. Many Pharisees, chief priests, and Herodians were of Edomite descent. They were the ones who conspired to murder Christ. They were archenemies of our Savior.

That is why Christ says this: “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie…” (Rev. 3:9)

Christ exposed their spiritual lineage: “You are of your father the devil.” (John 8:44) The fallen angel Satan is your father. You Edomites/Idumeans have been fathered by the devil.

Furthermore, we have in the parable of the tares this: “The tares are the children of the wicked one… The harvest is the end of the world.” (Matthew 13:38–39) This identifies a seed line sown by the enemy. Put another way, the tares are the seed of Satan.

Thesis Applied: Esau as Tares, Jacob as Wheat

I submit that Esau and his physical and spiritual offspring are the tares—the seed rejected, the seed that withstands Christ and rejects Yahshua the Anointed One. Jacob/Israel’s spiritual offspring through Christ are the good seed, the wheat that will be gathered at the end of the age.

We can see Jacob/Israel’s birthright and blessing when Jacob gives prophecy over his twelve sons. These become the “lost sheep of the House of Israel/Jacob.” These lost tribes are not one or two tribes; they are ten tribes from the old kingdom of Israel.

Their blessing is wonderful. Read it in Genesis 49:22-26 and Deut. 33:13-17. Using the process of elimination, compare the countries of the world to the blessings prophesied upon Joseph. And answer this question: Which country today fulfills these blessings? We must make no mistake. The seeds planted in Genesis will be harvested in the last days.

The Strong Tower of God’s Hebrew Name

There are seasons when the battlefield of the mind feels relentless. Thoughts rise like storm winds, swirling through our grey matter with a force that seems beyond our control. Scripture is clear that such mental assaults are not imagined; they are part of the enemy’s strategy. “The devil…walks about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Pet. 5:8). Paul warns believers that Satan launches “fiery darts” toward the mind (Eph. 6:16). These darts often take the form of recurring, self-accusing thoughts — memories of past failures, thinking about material things, shame from our former life, whispers of condemnation that loop again and again.

And this happens not only to the unsaved. Even Christians, redeemed and indwelt by the Spirit, experience days when the old mental tapes play loudly. Some days are quiet, peaceful, and clear. Other days feel like ambushes — the negative thoughts demand to be heard, and Christ seems absent from the loop. We do not always know which kind of day awaits us.

But God has not left His people defenseless. He has provided a place of refuge — a spiritual fortress into which the righteous may run. “The name of Yahweh is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and is safe” (Proverbs 18:10).

The Name as a Refuge

Scripture does not say merely that God is a strong tower, though that is true. It says His name is the tower. Yahweh revealed His name to His people as a memorial — something to remember Him by, something to cling to, something to run toward. His name is not a mere label; it is a revelation of His nature. Yahweh means “the self-existing One.” The One who depends on nothing, who changes not, who is eternally present.

And when Yah-come-in-human-form walked among us, He bore a name that carried Yahweh’s nature into our world: Yahshua — “Yahweh is salvation.” The angel declared, “You shall call His name Yahshua, for He will save His people from their sins” (Matt. 1:21).

His very name is a proclamation of deliverance. His name is the gospel in a single word.

Meditating on His Name Breaks the Loop

When negative thoughts rise like a flood, when the old life tries to speak again, when the self-criticizing loop begins its familiar cycle, the believer has a God-given escape route: run into the strong tower of His name.

To meditate on His name is to remember what His saving work accomplished. His name reminds us that:

  • We were purged from our old sins (2 Pet. 1:9).
  • We died with Christ, were buried with Him, and through faith in His resurrection, we were raised with Him (Rom. 6:1–12; Col. 2:11–13).
  • Our old life — the source of those condemning thoughts — is gone.
  • “He that is dead is freed from sin” (Rom. 6:7).

Freed not only from sin’s penalty, but from sin’s mental tyranny — the self-incriminating loop that tries to drag us back into darkness.

When we think upon Savior’s name, we are not performing a mental trick. We are entering a spiritual reality. We are stepping into the tower God Himself built for our protection. His name is the place where the accusing voices cannot follow, where the past cannot condemn, where the enemy’s darts cannot penetrate.

Our birthright in becoming the offspring of God hinges upon us receiving Christ, the Light. That takes place when we believe in His name. “But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12). And how do we “believe in His name”? By believing in the meaning of His name. This shows Him that we have received Him. His name Yahshua means Yah is the Savior. [See Acts 3:16. The power is derived by having “faith in His name,” or believing in the meaning of His name] This kind of belief in His name is running into the tower.

Into the Tower

Running into the tower is not complicated. It is simply this:

Turn your mind toward His name. Speak His name. Meditate on the meaning of His name. Let His name interrupt the loop.

The moment we do, the spiritual architecture of Proverbs 18:10 becomes real. The righteous — not the perfect, not the strong, not the emotionally stable — the righteous run into His name and are lifted “securely on high,” out of reach of the swirling thoughts below.

His name is not only salvation from sin; it is salvation from the mental residue of sin.  His name is not only redemption; it is refuge. His name is not only a theological truth; it is a spiritual tower. And the believer who learns to run into that tower will find safety, stability, and peace — even on the days when the mind feels like a battlefield.    [If this has helped you, please subscribe, share, like and comment.

Christ the Door into the Heavenly Dimension

The door to the other dimension — the spiritual dimension — is Christ Himself. Scripture teaches that we must enter the Kingdom of God, but the question remains: How do we enter? Jesus answers plainly: “I am the door.” But a door always opens somewhere. Christ is the Door that opens into the righteous, heavenly dimension — the realm where God’s will is done, the realm Jesus taught us to seek when He said, “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth…” Through His righteousness, we step from the natural into the spiritual, from the earthly into the heavenly.

Peter expands this truth by explaining that an entrance into this Kingdom is “supplied” to those who add seven attributes to the faith already operating within them (2 Peter 1:1–8). These seven additions are nothing less than the divine nature of Christ, spiritually transposed into our earthly vessels. As we add them, we are not merely improving our character — we are entering the righteous spiritual dimension where God’s Kingdom operates. Christ is the Door, and these attributes are the steps through that Door.

This is the very purpose of God: to multiply His divine nature into “many sons unto glory.” We have been chosen to walk this path of apostleship, following Christ step by step, for “the steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD.” The Kingdom we enter is invisible, spiritual, and real — a dimension into which Christ alone grants access.

Christ has given us “exceeding great and precious promises,” and through these promises we become partakers of His divine nature. Peter, in the opening chapter of his second letter, lists the very qualities that form this path of entrance: virtue, knowledge, self‑control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. These are not suggestions; they are commands spoken by an apostle who walked with the Savior Himself.

Peter’s authority is not theoretical. His life bears witness:

•           He performed the first apostolic miracle after Pentecost (Acts 3).

•           He opened the gospel to the Gentiles through Cornelius (Acts 10).

•           He served as a foundational leader and spokesman of the Jerusalem church (Acts 1–12).

•           He authored 1 & 2 Peter, strengthening believers and clarifying doctrine.

•           He displayed boldness under persecution (Acts 4–5).

•           He confessed Jesus as “the Christ, the Son of the living God,” by revelation of the Father (Matt. 16:16–17).

•           He was restored by Christ and became a model of grace after failure (Luke 22; John 21).

This is the man who tells us how to enter the Kingdom. His words carry weight because he walked with the Door Himself.

Therefore, we can trust Peter when he declares that adding these seven facets to the gem of God’s faith will open to us an abundant entrance into the everlasting Kingdom. Each attribute is a deliberate step deeper into the spiritual dimension where Christ reigns. We are not passive spectators but active participants in this transformation. As we cultivate these qualities, they become signposts marking our progress into the Kingdom, confirming our calling and election.

And the more faithfully we walk in them, the more abundantly the entrance is supplied — until we find ourselves fully stepping through Christ the Door into the dimension He has prepared for His sons and daughters.   Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Love in Human Form

We will love our neighbor as ourself when we get hold of who Yahshua is. Since we are not literally beholding Him at present, we cannot fetch a calf and prepare a meal for Yahweh-in- human-form the way Abraham did on the plains of Mamre, when he was visited by Yahweh (Genesis 18). Oh, how we would show respect and reverence to Yahshua if He would appear to us!

But Yahshua said, “Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me” (Matt. 25:40). So then, we should treat our fellow human beings with the same love and respect as we would if it were the Savior himself there! In fact, the way we treat other human beings is the way we are treating our Savior. That is the cold, hard truth.

After all, are they not made in His image? And loving our fellow man is loving Him, and healing them is healing Him, insomuch as we are making Him whole. For we are members of His body. And if one member of this body is weak or sick, then we should love them and reach out in belief and heal that member–both physically and spiritually.

We should give unto Yahweh by giving unto those created by him in his image. It is all going to boil down to LOVE: loving neighbor as self. Love is all you need to give. “Be perfect as your father is perfect; He rains on the just and the unjust.”     Kenneth Wayne Hancock

The Scapegoat Symbol—The Laying on of Hands

Believers “shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover,” said Christ.

In the Aaronic priesthood, the priests laid hands on the head of the goat. This symbolized the transferring of the sins of the people onto the sacrificial goat. One goat was sent out into a forgotten wilderness where God would no longer remember their sins. The other was sacrificed and placed on the altar to be burned as a sacrifice to Yahweh.

That passage is found in Leviticus 16:7–10, 22. It describes the Day of Atonement ritual where two goats were chosen: one sacrificed to the Lord, and the other (the “scapegoat”) symbolically carried the sins of the people into the wilderness. That was under the Old covenant.

Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection bring us the New Covenant where our sins have been forgiven. By believing in His Sacrifice for us, our sins are completely forgotten, removed far away, as though they had never happened. He has transmitted our old sinful self unto Christ by the laying on of hands of the pastor, His death symbolized when we are baptized. Christ is our scapegoat, and with his shed blood, our sins are departed. They are sent far away, never to return. This is the forgiveness that God has given us.

“For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with,[a] that we should no longer be slaves to sin—because anyone who has died has been set free from sin” (Romans 6:6-7).

The Parallel Between Sins Departing and Healing

There is a meaningful correlation between the Old Testament ritual of Aaron laying hands on the scapegoat and the Christian practice of laying hands on the sick. In both instances, the act of laying on of hands represents the departure or removal of something harmful—sins in the case of the scapegoat, and sickness in the case of healing. This parallel invites reflection on Christ’s words: “Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are departed, sent away from you,’ or ‘Your disease is departed, sent away from you’?” Both declarations emphasize the power of faith and the transformative act of laying on of hands, symbolizing the removal of burdens, whether spiritual or physical.  kwh

The Spiritual Life Cycle

It is all about God’s Law of Harvest and us His Manifested Sons.

To grasp God’s purpose of “bringing many sons unto glory,” we need to understand the spiritual life cycle. Christ compared spiritual growth to a seed: it must die and lose its original form, then absorb water (symbolizing the word), before new life emerges and grows toward the light (Matt. 13:18-30)

This process starts with babes in Christ, to little children in him who do not mature. They do not grow up into him. Or he does not grow up in them. These spiritual children are like natural children–mostly alive to see what they can get from their father. These babes in Christ never grow out of asking God for things for themselves. They rarely glimpse the full vision of what their Father has in mind, not only for them, but also for those who mature and finally produce  100-fold fruitbearing.

For there is a responsibility that we all bear. First, “God has commanded all men everywhere to repent” of their evil ways. Those that do, then, are expected to “study to show [themselves] approved unto God,” servants unto the king who can divide the word of God correctly.

Then prayer enters the growth process. True prayer and study of his word is the watering of the little blade of grass. For the little spiritual child of God cannot grow unless it be watered. But, we have that responsibility!

And this is where the problem lies for most professing Christians. Most are not taught the vision of God reproducing himself from the “seed, the word of God.” they are not given the pure water, the pure teachings, the pure spiritual nutrients that promote growth into a manifested son or daughter of God.

The Same Old Food for His Lambs and Sheep

Most Christians dwell in a dry land, trying to feed their souls on the same spiritual food that was fed to the flock hundreds of years ago. And how can we tell if we are in that situation? “When the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13). If you are not being led into more truth in your Christian walk, then you are not being led by the Spirit of truth. Christ’s words are sharp, cutting right to the heart of the matter.

While in Hawaii, visiting my daughters, I visited a Baptist church on a Sunday morning. It was the same denomination I went to as a child in Texas. The message and the Invitational song were identical to what I experienced as a child–right down to those old solemn lyrics sung at the end, “Just as I am without one plea.” It was sad to me. I so wanted to share with them the new spiritual light that Yah was giving to me. But the pastor took no testimonies from his flock. The pastor prevented the Sower from sowing the Seed, the word of God. The Sower is the Spirit of Christ in us.

And so it goes…. The ancient Hebrew prophets faced the same dilemma. They cried, “Woe unto you shepherds who feed the flock of God with lies…” (Ezk. 34:2). This is why true spiritual growth is slow in the body of Christ.

Many will be content to stay a babe in Christ, but others will break out-of-the-box.

Some will feel a higher calling, one that pulls them upward, one that plants a yearning in their hearts to know the truth. These little children of God will be drawn by the Father, nourished by His teachers and prophets, those who will help them leave the old way station for the next stage of growth.

They will begin a deeper walk and thereby become spiritual young men and women of God. No longer “tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine,” they will have “overcome the wicked one” with all Satan’s deceptions and temptations.

They will mature into spiritual adults, capable of guiding others with his spirit.  Like Paul said to Timothy, “I have fathered you in the gospel.”

It is all about God’s Law of Harvest and us His Manifested Sons.

To grasp God’s purpose of “bringing many sons unto glory,” we need to understand the spiritual life cycle. Christ compared spiritual growth to a seed: it must die and lose its original form, then absorb water (symbolizing the word), before new life emerges and grows toward the light (Matt. 13:18-30)

This process starts with babes in Christ, to little children in him who do not mature. They do not grow up into him. Or he does not grow up in them. These spiritual children are like natural children–mostly alive to see what they can get from their father. These babes in Christ never grow out of asking God for things for themselves. They rarely glimpse the full vision of what their Father has in mind, not only for them, but also for those who mature and finally produce  100-fold fruitbearing.

For there is a responsibility that we all bear. First, “God has commanded all men everywhere to repent” of their evil ways. Those that do, then, are expected to “study to show [themselves] approved unto God,” servants unto the king who can divide the word of God correctly.

Then prayer enters the growth process. True prayer and study of his word is the watering of the little blade of grass. For the little spiritual child of God cannot grow unless it be watered. But, we have that responsibility!

And this is where the problem lies for most professing Christians. Most are not taught the vision of God reproducing himself from the “seed, the word of God.” they are not given the pure water, the pure teachings, the pure spiritual nutrients that promote growth into a manifested son or daughter of God.

The Same Old Food for His Lambs and Sheep

Most Christians dwell in a dry land, trying to feed their souls on the same spiritual food that was fed to the flock hundreds of years ago. And how can we tell if we are in that situation? “When the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13). If you are not being led into more truth in your Christian walk, then you are not being led by the Spirit of truth. Christ’s words are sharp, cutting right to the heart of the matter.

While in Hawaii, visiting my daughters, I visited a Baptist church on a Sunday morning. It was the same denomination I went to as a child in Texas. The message and the Invitational song were identical to what I experienced as a child–right down to those old solemn lyrics sung at the end, “Just as I am without one plea.” It was sad to me. I so wanted to share with them the new spiritual light that Yah was giving to me. But the pastor took no testimonies from his flock. The pastor prevented the Sower from sowing the Seed, the word of God. The Sower is the Spirit of Christ in us.

And so it goes…. The ancient Hebrew prophets faced the same dilemma. They cried, “Woe unto you shepherds who feed the flock of God with lies…” (Ezk. 34:2). This is why true spiritual growth is slow in the body of Christ.

Many will be content to stay a babe in Christ, but others will break out-of-the-box.

Some will feel a higher calling, one that pulls them upward, one that plants a yearning in their hearts to know the truth. These little children of God will be drawn by the Father, nourished by His teachers and prophets, those who will help them leave the old way station for the next stage of growth.

They will begin a deeper walk and thereby become spiritual young men and women of God. No longer “tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine,” they will have “overcome the wicked one” with all Satan’s deceptions and temptations.

They will mature into spiritual adults, capable of guiding others with his spirit.  Like Paul said to Timothy, “I have fathered you in the gospel.”

Understanding the spiritual life cycle is essential for grasping God’s purpose in revealing His sons and daughters during these latter days. This manifestation brings glory to God through His Spirit working within them. Seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness ensures that we are cared for by Him, resulting in joy, peace, and security.      Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Seek First the Kingdom of the Spirit

Chapter 7 of My New Book: The Abiding

Christ urged us to “seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness,” establishing a foundational precept for spiritual maturity and abiding. But what is this Kingdom? And where do we find it?

Scripture reveals that God is Spirit (John 4:24), and so His Kingdom must be spiritual as well—an invisible dimension not of this world, whose god is presently Satan. Thus, the Kingdom of God is not material, nor constrained by our five senses. It is a realm that “cometh not with observation” (Luke 17:20) but is “within you,” dwelling in the sanctum of the heart.

The phrase “Kingdom of God” has been diluted through overuse and denominational variation. While traditionally understood as “God’s Kingdom”—a realm belonging to Him—it can also be understood, linguistically and scripturally, as a kingdom comprised of Spirit. Just as “a wall of stone” describes a wall made of stone, “Kingdom of God” declares a government made of Spirit, led by a sovereign Spirit Being.

We are commanded to seek this unseen kingdom—the invisible government of God. It is not confined to temples or earthly forms of worship. True worship is not performed with buildings, rituals, or material offerings. It is an intimate, unseeable communion between our spirit and the Eternal Creator. “The flesh profits nothing; it is the spirit that gives life” (John 6:63). The essence of abiding lies in this deep spiritual connection.

Only those born from above—born of the Spirit—can perceive and enter this dimension (John 3:3-6). The narrow gate through which we enter is Christ Himself: “I am the door of the sheep… whoever enters through Me shall be saved” (John 10:7-9). This entry point begins the process of purification—where old concepts of God are stripped away, and faith becomes sight in the Spirit.

Prayer becomes our vessel into this kingdom. It reaches beyond the veil, into the heavenly dimension where miracles and spiritual battles unfold. Belief is the transport. We are not guided by sight, but by faith—believing before seeing.

The Kingdom of God is the Kingdom of the Spirit: invisible, yet near; eternal, yet now. The Holy Spirit is the breath of this heavenly domain, and those who seek Yahweh “while He may be found” will discover the gate, the truth, and the life.

Even now, His followers are being tested. “Fiery trials” refine faith, preparing us for entry into the realm that awaits beyond the narrow gate. As the apostle declared: “That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us” (Acts 17:27).

Here is The Abiding’s central message: the transformative power of abiding in Christ as the pathway to spiritual maturity, union, and divine oneness.

Abiding Begins with Seeking

The abiding life begins with an awakened hunger—to seek first the Kingdom not built by hands but drawn from Spirit. Christ’s invitation to abide is not passive—it is a call to pursue, with intensity, the invisible realm where divine communion unfolds. The Kingdom of the Spirit is not a reward for earthly effort, but the spiritual birthplace of all abiding.

The Gate to Oneness

To abide is to pass through Christ—the narrow gate—and dwell in the unseen realm. It is here, in the Kingdom made of Spirit, that the Son draws us into the Father’s presence. We are not spectators in this Kingdom; we are transformed participants, being shaped in the oneness of Yahweh and Christ. The Spirit is both door and dimension.

The Spirit Over Flesh

Abiding requires departure from the visible and tangible. The flesh profits nothing. Material religion cannot usher us in. True abiding is spiritual worship—truthful, unseen, relational. It is the invisible rhythm of connection, where abiding becomes encounter. This Kingdom is not distant—it is within. It is the heart awakened by the Spirit.

Purification in Union

Faith is the chisel that removes false constructs. Belief in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ initiates the inward resurrection—where abiding is made possible by purification. As old leaven is cast out, abiding becomes an active dwelling in the Spirit’s government. Our trials refine us not merely for entrance—but for union.

Finding Him Where He Is

To abide is to seek Yahweh where He may be found—in His own dimension, invisible yet near. Just as John touched, saw, and heard the Word made flesh, we too will know Him. For abiding leads to intimacy. The Son abides in the Father, and those who walk through the gate will abide also. This Kingdom is not merely theological—it is our promised home.

Eyes on the Harvest

  1. The Sower’s Longing

God’s eyes are ever on His harvest. This is not simply a season—it is His will unfolding across time. He sows with the end in mind: a mature people, ready to be gathered. Are our eyes aligned with His?

Just as the farmer treasures the yield of his field, God watches with divine patience for the maturity of His Word within hearts. The Bible is a record of this great sowing—the planting of promises, prophecies, and purpose.

Be patient… until it receives the early and latter rain (James 5:7).

2. Maturity Marks the Time

The harvest is not about numbers—it’s about readiness. Maturity. Fruit that bears the nature of the Seed. In this “time of the end,” we are witnessing the crop coming to full ripeness.

The harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels (Matthew 13:39).

These aren’t ominous words. They’re hopeful. They point to transformation—souls shaped in the image of Christ.

3. The First Fruits Rise

Like ears of corn ripening early, some sons and daughters awaken to maturity ahead of the field. These are the first fruits—the ones formed not just to arrive but to labor. To reap.

From the prophets of old to the hundredfold elect of today, these forerunners bear the burden and the glory of calling others in.

They without us should not be made perfect (Hebrews 11:40).

4. The Call to Labor

Christ’s command echoes now more than ever:

Pray ye therefore the Lord… that He would send forth laborers into His harvest (Luke 10:2).

The time of the latter rain is not only about power—it is about purpose. God is activating His mature ones to gather the rest. Millions will come. And the world, weary as it is, will see the glory of ripened faith.
