Growing Your Garden-How You Will Preceive Believers

When you receive the Seal you will want to know what God preceives and commands you to do. Once you know you can follow His Commandment faithfully, unlike Adam and Eve who did not follow the precept.
God is the ultimate Preceptor. He it is who preceives His Plan unto you so you know what He wants from you and for you. What He wants from you He expects you to do. The rest He will do for you.
God created the world in seven days. On the fifth day He created the first man, Adam. He shaped Adam out of the earth and breathed Life into him. This is the way God will set the Seal upon you.
God will shape you out of the earth. The Seal comes in the shape of the earth itself--the tiny plot of ground where a single wheat Seed has been sown. That single wheat Seed is Jesus.
And that is how God gives you spiritual Life. When He seals you, he sows Jesus in your soul. This is what He does for you, and He expects you to do something for Him.
He expects you to grow Jesus up until you and Jesus bear Fruit together. You provide the soil of your soul. That is the fertile soil Jesus can grow in. Of course, more than just the soil is needed for growth.
Jesus as a wheat Seed also needs the air, the sunlight, and the water to grow. The Air is provided by your Spirit once sanctified by God the Father. Jesus the Son provides Himself with Light, and the Holy Spirit provides the Water.
Those are the four elements necessary for growing Jesus--the Air, Light, Water, and the soil. God provides the first three in the little garden of your soul, and you provide the fourth necessary element, the soil.
With these four elements combined in a spiritual unity, you are ready to grow Jesus Christ in your garden until you bear Fruit. You begin by growing that single wheat Seed Jesus.
After that Seed has grown up into Fruit, you can sow the seeds of that Fruit again to bear yet more fruit. The next seeds will be the message, and you will grow them until they bear fruit.
The final seeds you sow and grow will be other believers in the message. So you will send the message of Jesus (and being sealed) to the world and you will grow up true believers in that message in the harvest.
So you too will preceive the message unto other people. You will send the message as precepts unto believers in it. Eventually you will send the believers as preceptors to the rest of the world too.
And as you can see, you have quite the responsibility. In order to preceive the message unto other true believers, you need to follow faithfully the precepts of God, working closely with God the whole time you are bearing fruit in your garden.
You may not make the mistake of Adam and Eve who ate the Forbidden Fruit. God told Adam and Eve not to do it. He expected them to follow His precept faithfully. And when they did not they paid for their mistake with their lives.
When you are sealed God will preceive unto you His own Precepts. You are expected to follow them faithfully because you too are meant to preceive unto true believers when you receive the Seal.

Secrets to Living the Life You've Always Wanted
It seems rather odd to refer to any of what follows as secrets. For one thing, the word “secret” implies that something is hidden and the wisdom below is anything but secret. In some form or fashion, you could find these in virtually any spiritual tradition. Second, “secret” implies that the spiritual wisdom that would lead one to the life he/she really wants is really only accessible by a few. And, the unfortunate tendency is not to regard your self as one of the select few. But, of course, you are.
