By staying on the operating table and allowing Him to circumcise our hearts - to cut away with the sword of His Spirit all our fleshly, carnal, lusts and desires - all that resists and rebels against him - by seeking Him, by loving Him with all our hearts daily - by making Him our chief joy - by seeking Him in the valley moments of our lives (our lily) as well as on the mountain top moments, where we mount up with eagle's wings, simply put, we plow our hearts by falling in love with Him.
When you first come to Him, when He first comes to you (though he's been with you from the beginning, only you didn't recognize Him), you may be shy, tentative, even fearful, but over time - as you get to know him better, your heart should allow him (and his seed) to go deeper and deeper, amen. Deep calls unto Deep - from the depths of his heart to the depths of our heart. He does not want a passionless relationship with us, sterile and fruitless. Read Song of Solomon, then read it again. It's in the Bible for a reason and it's placed just before Isaiah for a reason - becoming intimate with him opens our hearts to hear him - to hear the Word of the Lord. He approaches us as "THE WORD" when he has an open heart and open ear, amen.
In order to know Him as the "Word of The Lord" (Jer:1:4) we must first know him as the Lord of The Word. If not, we will exalt his own word over him - by this I mean we'll be in danger of wielding the written word as the Pharisees did - with pride, missing him completely when the Lord himself comes to visit our hearts Even daring to tell him what his own word means, instead of listening to him tell us what the understanding of it is.
