So glad you’ve returned. It’s been my greatest Joy to share and to present the majestic glorious everlasting King of Kings and Lord Of Lords, Jesus is his name. Just consider with me for a moment, he wants to spend his time with you. That should send you dancing and leaping and rejoicing all the day through. He has sent me and others as ambassador to the Kingdom of Heaven, so that you can have a clear picture of his motives and his agendas. The scripture says in the book of James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
The more of the word that you study, the more you realize how much he desires to lavish his love upon you. But continue to walk close to him through prayer and your study of his word. He doesn’t want you to center your attention on the negative things in life. But on his goodness, and his ability to fix and change the negatives and turn them around on your behalf. In the Gospel of Mark, in chapter 4 we learn a key parable that Jesus says if you understand this one, you will understand the rest of them. A parable is a story that teaches a great lesson. Jesus spoke in parables many times to the crowds which followed him. Let’s look at the parable of the sower who sows the Word.
Mark 4:1
1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. 2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, 3 Hearken Behold, there went out a sower to sow: 4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. 5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. 9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
The Lord gives the explanation of this parable down further in the chapter but let me sum it up for you.
The word of God that you are studying is the seed. Your heart is the ground the seed goes into. By continuing in his word; through study, meditation, then acting on what you receive, the word of God breaks up all that other stuff that is in your heart and roots it out. Then if you continue, it’s goes done into good soil now. ( this takes time just as a farmer wood plant seeds into the ground). At first, it looks like nothing is happing on top of the ground. But just like a regular seed, it breaks open underneath or in your heart. Then as you like a farmer continually water, keep the weeds out, ( this is done by thanking God that it is true.) then it begins to put do roots. You still haven’t seen any thing on the surface yet. But keep studying, keep meditating on his word and his word alone, that keeps the weeds out so it won’t be choked. Then you will get strong roots there. Speak only what he says about you and situations surrounding, and what you read won’t wither away. Then as you continue, first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. You will see the power of his words transform you, situations around you, and a harvest of blessings shall be yours. That why Jesus said this is the most important parable of all. So make his words your words. So my dear brother and sister, keep walking hand and hand with God. Stay close tucked in to his bosom. That’s right you are being transformed by his word.
