John 12:24
24Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
• In other words, it will reproduce itself many times, once it is dead.

John 12:25
25He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
• Holding onto the worldly way of living will not produce spiritual results.
• It will not produce a spiritual life.
• It will reproduce a fleshly death or corruption.
• What does dead or death actually mean? The dictionary defines “dead” as incapable of being emotionally moved or unresponsive (in other words, no feeling or core, lacking sensitivity of feelings).
• The person is not fruitful, they are unproductive, dull, inactive, and without resilience, they cannot bounce back from anything.
• Why are the fleshly attacks so great against G12?
Romans 8:6-9
6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

• After looking at the dictionary definition of “dead” above, and reading the scripture, you’ll better understand why we must die to ourselves in order to really live and run with the vision.
