Gen. 1:11-12,20-21,24,26-28:

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Notice, God said, "Be fruitful" that word fruitful mean to bring forth, increase, grow. He's not just talking about having babies. He's empowering man with something for him to prosper. Now, when you hear bring forth the average person thinks of giving birth and that's good, when you give birth what do you do, you bring something from the inside to the outside. Notice, when God spoke to the earth and the waters something came into manifestation from the earth and waters. And then He put in the creation the ability to reproduce, so He doesn't have to keep creating, He gave the creation the ability to bring forth into the earth/manifestation. We understand that in the natural, but it is not limited to the natural. When God blessed man, He blessed man spirit/soul/and body. A man and woman get together 9 months later she brings forth a baby into the earth/manifestation. But, man is not limited to that for man is also spirit so spirit man is capable of bringing things into the earth/manifestation. Notice, in Gen. 17:4,5 God speaking to Abram, 4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. 5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

Notice, God said "For a father of many nations have I made thee" so we are talking about a finished work of God because He said, I have made thee. But, even though it was a finished work of God there was no manifestation of it because in Romans 4:19 it tells you that even though God said that his body was still dead, physically. So, we have a situation here God has done something and yet Abraham had no evidence of it in the natural. Notice, no evidence in the natural doesn't mean it's not done. When God does something it's done in the spirit. See, you are not here, let that sink in, you are in another realm, your body is here, but you are spirit. And when God does something it's done in the spiritual first and has to be received spiritually first. Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Notice, you don't receive it physically until you first receive it spiritually. And that's what Abraham had to do, he had to receive it spiritually first because it was reality in the spiritual first. Notice, what God did He changed his name from Abram- Exalted Father to Abraham-Father of a Multitude.

When God first told him that he didn't believe because verse 17 says, Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? So, first he didn't believe, but Rom. 10:17-faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Now, why is faith important? Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, one of the main teachings of Jesus is the heart of a man is like soil or ground and words are seeds. And you see him speaking of that in Mark 4:20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. Notice, what he's saying such as hear the word and receive it (receive it where, inside) and bring forth fruit (bringeth forth fruit where, outside). And he keeps explaining verse 22 For there is nothing hid(that's inside), which shall not be manifested(that's outside). Notice, God had to get the word that He told Abraham in his heart(inside) by changing his name in line with his promise. And the word that was put inside was brought forth/manifested outside.

He's saying the same thing you have to receive it/have it inside to receive it outside in manifestation. And he keeps explaining verses 26-28 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground(that's inside); 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up(that's outside), he knoweth not how. 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. He made the same point 3 times because it important that you know it. You see in Mark 4:10,11: 10 But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable. 11 And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables. The mystery of the kingdom of God, mystery-secret, hidden truths. He tells you what the mystery is the word you put inside the fruit/manifestation will be seen outside.

Look at what Jesus said in Matthew 6:31-33-- Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Notice what Jesus did not say, notice he did not say they will be given unto you. Because, 2 Peter 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue. They have been given now they have to be added or received or manifested. That's why Jesus kept making the same point, before it's received outside it first has to be received inside. And what's happening is people are praying to God to do things that are already done, when it's up to them to bring it forth, be fruitful.

Abraham, I have made thee a father of many nation, now it would have been pointless for him to keep praying for it. Notice, God changed his name in line with what He promised him for him to get the faith to receive it. Now, instead of praying for it, bring it forth, be fruitful. A seed and faith are the same thing they are the substance of something that already is. You can't have a seed or substance of something that does not exist first. That's why faith is also evidence, it's proof that something has to be first before the seed or substance. So, I don't have to see it or feel it first to believe. God changed his name to get the faith, for him to start speaking right. Because, you will not receive from God speaking contrary to God. If you don't have it inside then you can not bring it outside, the substance has to go in for the thing to come out Mark 5:25-34:

25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

Your faith has made you whole, what she had inside she brought forth to the outside. That was reality in the spiritual first and she had to receive it spiritually first and once it's received spiritually then the next thing is to speak it, to release it, to receive it physically. That's what Jesus taught over and over Luke 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. If you get it inside you can bring it forth to the outside into manifestation. That's not something God does that's something we do. He blessed man, He commanded man to be fruitful. Now I see why what He says in Joshua 1:8:--8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. (or you could say you start bringing things from the inside out. Make your way prosperous by bringing them from the inside to the outside.) Just like it says in Matthew 6 seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you, how, from the inside out.

This will work for your healing Proverbs 4:20-22: 20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. So, where did the life come from for Abrahams body because the scripture says his body was dead, the word. So, you keep the word in your heart and it can manifest in your flesh. So, healing can come from the inside out. The word you want manifested outside first has to be put inside. It has to go inside for you to bring it forth to the outside. You have to receive it spiritually before you receive it physically. The word has to go inside for it to be manifested outside.
