Tithing and Sowing into Specific Grounds

The core concept revolves around strategically sowing (giving financially) into specific ministries or "grounds" that align with one's needs and desires for spiritual growth and covering. The speaker and Diana believe that not all ground produces the same results, and that sowing into certain grounds yields specific blessings and protections.

• Harvest Ground/Harvester Ground: Sowing into ministries that are actively bringing in souls, believing that "he that winneth souls is wise" and that this will bring a financial blessing. Example: Billy Graham (when he was alive).
• Warrior Ground: Sowing into prayer warrior ministries for prayer covering, especially when facing spiritual warfare. Example: Candace and Billy Brim. Diana describes them as "Vikings in the spirit realm."
• Scholar Ground: Sowing into ministries with strong teaching gifts to gain wisdom and understanding of scripture. Example: Brother Hagen (when he was alive).
• Prophetic Ground: Sowing into prophetic ministries to enhance one's ability to hear the voice of God.
• Healing Ground: Sowing into healing ministries to receive a blessing of healing. Example: Billy Burke.

The act of sowing is intentional and done by faith, praying for the covering of that specific ministry to come upon the giver and their household.
