- 00:03:26.958 --> 00:03:28.060
- About the kingdom of heaven, how it operates.

- I don't want the people who don't treasure it to receive it.
- 00:03:30.362 --> 00:03:33.131
- Don't treasure it to receive it. i want people who are hungry and
- 00:03:33.198 --> 00:03:35.167

- Let's read this parable, and it's the parable
- 00:03:40.038 --> 00:03:41.173

- Of all parables. "in fact, on the same day
- 00:03:42.107 --> 00:03:43.141
- "in fact, on the same day jesus went out of the house
- 00:03:43.208 --> 00:03:44.543
- Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.
- 00:03:44.609 --> 00:03:46.044
- And sat by the sea. and great multitudes were
- 00:03:46.111 --> 00:03:47.713
- And great multitudes were gathered together to him, so
- 00:03:47.779 --> 00:03:49.548
- Gathered together to him, so that he got into a boat and sat;
- 00:03:49.614 --> 00:03:51.483
- That he got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood
- 00:03:51.550 --> 00:03:53.118
- And the whole multitude stood on the shore.
- 00:03:53.185 --> 00:03:55.120
- Then he spoke many things
- 00:03:55.187 --> 00:03:56.221
- To them in parables, saying,
- 00:03:56.288 --> 00:03:58.190
- 'behold, a sower went out
- 00:03:58.256 --> 00:04:00.325
- To sow.
- 00:04:00.392 --> 00:04:01.426
- And as he sowed, some seeds fell
- 00:04:01.493 --> 00:04:03.228
- By the wayside; and the birds
- 00:04:03.295 --> 00:04:05.497
- Came and devoured them.
- 00:04:05.564 --> 00:04:08.166
- Some fell on stony places where
- 00:04:08.233 --> 00:04:10.502
- They did not have much earth;
- 00:04:10.569 --> 00:04:12.471
- And they immediately sprang up
- 00:04:12.537 --> 00:04:14.406
- Because they had no depth
- 00:04:14.473 --> 00:04:16.007
- Of earth.
- 00:04:16.074 --> 00:04:17.576
- But when the sun was up, they
- 00:04:17.642 --> 00:04:19.211
- Were scorched, and because they
- 00:04:19.277 --> 00:04:20.946
- Had no root they withered away.
- 00:04:21.012 --> 00:04:23.882
- And some fell among thorns,
- 00:04:23.949 --> 00:04:25.450
- And the thorns sprang up
- 00:04:25.517 --> 00:04:27.119
- And choked them.
- 00:04:27.185 --> 00:04:28.286
- But others fell on good ground
- 00:04:28.353 --> 00:04:30.288
- And yielded a crop;
- 00:04:30.355 --> 00:04:31.823
- Some hundredfold,
- 00:04:31.890 --> 00:04:33.525
- Some sixty, some thirty."
- 00:04:33.592 --> 00:04:36.061
- Wow, look at this again.
- 00:04:36.128 --> 00:04:38.029
- Some fell on good ground,
- 00:04:38.096 --> 00:04:39.631
- And the crop comes in these
- 00:04:39.698 --> 00:04:41.767
- Measures: some hundredfold.
- 00:04:41.833 --> 00:04:44.669
- Now, don't we want that?
- 00:04:44.736 --> 00:04:45.804
- Don't we all want hundredfold?
- 00:04:45.871 --> 00:04:47.539
- We don't want sixtyfold.
- 00:04:47.606 --> 00:04:48.874
- Amen?
- 00:04:48.940 --> 00:04:49.775
- We don't want thirtyfold.
- 00:04:49.841 --> 00:04:51.143
- But i believe is also a picture
- 00:04:51.209 --> 00:04:53.845
- Of the sequence, the consequence
- 00:04:53.912 --> 00:04:57.582
- Of having the word of god
- 00:04:57.649 --> 00:04:59.785
- Falling on good ground.
- 00:04:59.851 --> 00:05:01.153
- First of all, you will
- 00:05:01.219 --> 00:05:02.354
- Experience a thirtyfold harvest,
- 00:05:02.421 --> 00:05:04.489
- Then a sixtyfold,
- 00:05:04.556 --> 00:05:05.524
- Then hundredfold.
- 00:05:05.590 --> 00:05:07.459
- "he who has ears to hear,
- 00:05:07.526 --> 00:05:09.261
- Let him hear."
- 00:05:09.327 --> 00:05:10.262
- This is so vital because this
- 00:05:10.328 --> 00:05:11.830
- Phrase appears more than once in
- 00:05:11.897 --> 00:05:14.299
- This passage.
- 00:05:14.366 --> 00:05:15.534
- "he who has ears to hear,
- 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.402
- Let him hear."
- 00:05:17.469 --> 00:05:20.272
- Hallelujah.
- 00:05:20.338 --> 00:05:21.440
- Now, he's going to go on to tell
- 00:05:21.506 --> 00:05:23.241
- His disciples why he shared
- 00:05:23.308 --> 00:05:24.376
- To the public,
- 00:05:24.443 --> 00:05:25.577
- To the crowd in parables.
- 00:05:25.644 --> 00:05:28.246
- The next verse says, "and the
- 00:05:28.313 --> 00:05:29.147
- Disciples came and said to him,
- 00:05:29.214 --> 00:05:30.649
- 'why do you speak to them
- 00:05:30.715 --> 00:05:31.683
- In parables?'
- 00:05:31.750 --> 00:05:33.318
- He answered and said to them,
- 00:05:33.385 --> 00:05:35.520
- 'because it has been given
- 00:05:35.587 --> 00:05:36.621
- To you to know the mysteries
- 00:05:36.688 --> 00:05:38.790
- Of the kingdom of heaven,
- 00:05:38.857 --> 00:05:40.425
- But to them it has not
- 00:05:40.492 --> 00:05:42.294
- Been given.
- 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:43.829
- For whoever has, to him more
- 00:05:43.895 --> 00:05:47.799
- Will be given, and he will have
- 00:05:47.866 --> 00:05:49.801
- Abundance, but whoever does not
- 00:05:49.868 --> 00:05:52.337
- Have, even what he has
- 00:05:52.404 --> 00:05:55.040
- Will be taken away from him.'"
- 00:05:55.106 --> 00:05:57.175
- Later on, if you follow along,
- 00:05:57.242 --> 00:05:59.544
- You'll find the answer
- 00:05:59.611 --> 00:06:00.479
- To what this man has.
- 00:06:00.545 --> 00:06:02.481
- He has something that caused him
- 00:06:02.547 --> 00:06:03.882
- He has something that caused him to have more given to him.
- 00:06:03.949 --> 00:06:06.284
- To have more given to him. but the one who has something
- 00:06:06.351 --> 00:06:08.220
- But the one who has something already, right, if he does not
- 00:06:08.286 --> 00:06:11.056
- Already, right, if he does not have this that god wants him
- 00:06:11.122 --> 00:06:12.824
- Have this that god wants him to have, even what he has
- 00:06:12.891 --> 00:06:15.260
- To have, even what he has will be taken away.
- 00:06:15.327 --> 00:06:17.229
- Will be taken away. so actually, the sower
- 00:06:17.295 --> 00:06:18.463
- So actually, the sower and the ground, the four types
- 00:06:18.530 --> 00:06:19.865
- And the ground, the four types of ground, is a picture of
- 00:06:19.931 --> 00:06:21.833
- Of ground, is a picture of our heart, four types of heart
- 00:06:21.900 --> 00:06:25.237
- Our heart, four types of heart that he's talking about.
- 00:06:25.303 --> 00:06:26.571
- That he's talking about. and there's one particular heart
- 00:06:26.638 --> 00:06:28.940
- And there's one particular heart attitude that actually receives
- 00:06:29.007 --> 00:06:31.376
- Attitude that actually receives the bountiful harvest,
- 00:06:31.443 --> 00:06:32.844
- The bountiful harvest, a hundredfold, sixtyfold,
- 00:06:32.911 --> 00:06:35.747
- A hundredfold, sixtyfold, thirtyfold, and that is the one
- 00:06:35.814 --> 00:06:38.316
- Thirtyfold, and that is the one i'm coming to right now.
- 00:06:38.383 --> 00:06:39.718
- I'm coming to right now. so let's look at what jesus said
- 00:06:39.784 --> 00:06:40.919
- So let's look at what jesus said about his parable through his
- 00:06:40.986 --> 00:06:42.354
- About his parable through his disciples because he told them
- 00:06:42.420 --> 00:06:43.722
- Disciples because he told them that unto them is given to know.
- 00:06:43.788 --> 00:06:47.158
- That unto them is given to know. verse 18, "therefore,
- 00:06:47.225 --> 00:06:48.159
- Verse 18, "therefore, hear the parable of the sower:
- 00:06:48.226 --> 00:06:50.095
- Hear the parable of the sower: when anyone hears
- 00:06:50.161 --> 00:06:51.129
- When anyone hears the word of the kingdom,
- 00:06:51.196 --> 00:06:53.098
- The word of the kingdom, and does not understand it--"
- 00:06:53.164 --> 00:06:55.567
- And does not understand it--" there you have it.
- 00:06:55.634 --> 00:06:56.635
- There you have it. they hear it, but they don't
- 00:06:56.701 --> 00:06:58.136
- They hear it, but they don't understand it.
- 00:06:58.203 --> 00:07:00.071
- Understand it. "then the wicked one comes and
- 00:07:00.138 --> 00:07:01.273
- "then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in
- 00:07:01.339 --> 00:07:03.508
- Snatches away what was sown in his heart.
- 00:07:03.575 --> 00:07:04.709
- His heart. this is he who receives seed by
- 00:07:04.776 --> 00:07:06.177
- This is he who receives seed by the wayside."
- 00:07:06.244 --> 00:07:07.579
- The wayside." so people that hear god's word
- 00:07:07.646 --> 00:07:09.781
- So people that hear god's word and they have no heart to
- 00:07:09.848 --> 00:07:10.749
- And they have no heart to un--want to understand or even
- 00:07:10.815 --> 00:07:12.217
- Un--want to understand or even ask god for wisdom or seek the
- 00:07:12.284 --> 00:07:14.653
- Ask god for wisdom or seek the lord to have that word revealed
- 00:07:14.719 --> 00:07:17.923
- Lord to have that word revealed to them, god says these are the
- 00:07:17.989 --> 00:07:21.092
- To them, god says these are the ones that bec--they become prey
- 00:07:21.159 --> 00:07:25.864
- Ones that bec--they become prey to the enemy's turf, right?
- 00:07:25.931 --> 00:07:29.000
- The bible says, "the thief comes
- 00:07:29.067 --> 00:07:30.535
- To steal, kill, and destroy,"
- 00:07:30.602 --> 00:07:34.172
- John 10:10, "but i am come
- 00:07:34.239 --> 00:07:36.007
- That you might have life,
- 00:07:36.074 --> 00:07:37.175
- And have it more abundantly."
- 00:07:37.242 --> 00:07:38.643
- That's what jesus said.
- 00:07:38.710 --> 00:07:40.312
- Now, if a thief comes to steal,
- 00:07:40.378 --> 00:07:42.447
- Kill, and destroy,
- 00:07:42.514 --> 00:07:43.415
- The--notice the sequence there.
- 00:07:43.481 --> 00:07:45.417
- He comes to steal first.
- 00:07:45.483 --> 00:07:46.851
- He comes to steal first. what does he steal?
- 00:07:46.918 --> 00:07:48.019
- What does he steal? then he kills,
- 00:07:48.086 --> 00:07:49.020
- Then he kills, and then he destroys.
- 00:07:49.087 --> 00:07:51.389
- And then he destroys. he steals the word of god.
- 00:07:51.456 --> 00:07:52.924
- He steals the word of god. based on this,
- 00:07:52.991 --> 00:07:53.792
- Based on this, he steals the word.
- 00:07:53.858 --> 00:07:54.893
- He steals the word. why do you think the thief comes
- 00:07:54.960 --> 00:07:56.895
- To steal--of all the things
- 00:07:56.962 --> 00:07:58.430
- To steal--of all the things he wants to steal,
- 00:07:58.496 --> 00:07:59.397
- He wants to steal, he steals the word of god?
- 00:07:59.464 --> 00:08:00.432
- He steals the word of god? you thought he might want
- 00:08:00.498 --> 00:08:01.232
- You thought he might want to steal your health, you know,
- 00:08:01.299 --> 00:08:02.634
- To steal your health, you know, steal your relationships with
- 00:08:02.701 --> 00:08:03.735
- Steal your relationships with your wife or your husband
- 00:08:03.802 --> 00:08:06.404
- Your wife or your husband or your children.
- 00:08:06.471 --> 00:08:08.206
- Or your children. he will comes to--no, no, no.
- 00:08:08.273 --> 00:08:09.441
- He will comes to--no, no, no. he knows when he steals
- 00:08:09.507 --> 00:08:10.742
- He knows when he steals god's word from you, he steals
- 00:08:10.809 --> 00:08:12.877
- God's word from you, he steals all these things because these
- 00:08:12.944 --> 00:08:14.145
- All these things because these things are a consequence,
- 00:08:14.212 --> 00:08:16.548
- Things are a consequence, a harvest of receiving
- 00:08:16.615 --> 00:08:18.049
- A harvest of receiving god's word in your life.
- 00:08:18.116 --> 00:08:20.318
- God's word in your life. so he knows when he take
- 00:08:20.385 --> 00:08:21.553
- So he knows when he take god's word out of your heart
- 00:08:21.620 --> 00:08:23.388
- God's word out of your heart you have nothing to reproduce in
- 00:08:23.455 --> 00:08:24.990
- You have nothing to reproduce in your life because the power is
- 00:08:25.056 --> 00:08:27.258
- Your life because the power is in the seed, and the seed
- 00:08:27.325 --> 00:08:29.728
- In the seed, and the seed here is the word of god.
- 00:08:29.794 --> 00:08:30.795
- Here is the word of god. hallelujah.
- 00:08:30.862 --> 00:08:31.596
- Hallelujah. so the devil comes
- 00:08:31.663 --> 00:08:32.864
- So the devil comes to steal the word.
- 00:08:32.931 --> 00:08:33.732
- To steal the word. he's so afraid that
- 00:08:33.798 --> 00:08:35.500
- He's so afraid that you will receive god's word.
- 00:08:35.567 --> 00:08:37.302
- You will receive god's word. he is so afraid.
- 00:08:37.369 --> 00:08:38.269
- He is so afraid. that's why his priority number
- 00:08:38.336 --> 00:08:39.337
- That's why his priority number one is to come and take the word
- 00:08:39.404 --> 00:08:42.173
- One is to come and take the word away from your heart, but thanks
- 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:43.541
- Away from your heart, but thanks be to god we read in this verse
- 00:08:43.608 --> 00:08:45.276
- Be to god we read in this verse that for those who understand,
- 00:08:45.343 --> 00:08:48.413
- That for those who understand, the devil cannot do that.
- 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:49.581
- The devil cannot do that. it's only those who do not
- 00:08:49.648 --> 00:08:50.415
- It's only those who do not understand, then comes
- 00:08:50.482 --> 00:08:51.750
- Understand, then comes the wicked one and snatches away
- 00:08:51.816 --> 00:08:53.685

- Stand steady. amen?
- 00:10:00.218 --> 00:10:01.286
- Amen? the bible says this man,
- 00:10:01.352 --> 00:10:03.354
- The bible says this man, he received the word
- 00:10:03.421 --> 00:10:04.689
- He received the word and he received his joy.
- 00:10:04.756 --> 00:10:05.990
- And he received his joy. his immediate reaction is joy,
- 00:10:06.057 --> 00:10:07.859
- His immediate reaction is joy, but he has no root in himself.
- 00:10:07.926 --> 00:10:09.894
- But he has no root in himself. so he endures for a while, but
- 00:10:09.961 --> 00:10:11.629
- So he endures for a while, but when trouble comes, persecution

- He lets it go. he gives up because he has
- 00:10:17.602 --> 00:10:19.037
- He gives up because he has no root, and thus the word
- 00:10:19.104 --> 00:10:21.773
- Becomes unfruitful in his life.

- 00:10:47.198 --> 00:10:48.099
- On the good ground, good heart,
- 00:10:48.166 --> 00:10:50.034
- Ground is always the heart here,
- 00:10:50.101 --> 00:10:51.836
- He receives it, he hears it,
- 00:10:51.903 --> 00:10:55.340
- And he understands it.
- 00:10:55.406 --> 00:10:57.575
- He's the one who indeed bears
- 00:10:57.642 --> 00:10:58.743
- Fruit and produces;
- 00:10:58.810 --> 00:11:01.079
- Some a hundredfold,
- 00:11:01.146 --> 00:11:02.747
- Some sixty, and some thirty.
- 00:11:02.814 --> 00:11:05.784
- So in other words, it behooves
- 00:11:05.850 --> 00:11:06.951
- Us to understand god's word.
- 00:11:07.018 --> 00:11:10.288
- We are hungry
- 00:11:10.355 --> 00:11:11.156
- For the word of god.
- 00:11:11.222 --> 00:11:12.223
- We want god's word expounded
- 00:11:12.290 --> 00:11:13.591
- To us.
- 00:11:13.658 --> 00:11:14.893
- Hallelujah.
- 00:11:14.959 --> 00:11:15.827
- We don't want to hear psychology
- 00:11:15.894 --> 00:11:17.262
- Being preached.
- 00:11:17.328 --> 00:11:18.329
- We don't want to hear scientific
- 00:11:18.396 --> 00:11:19.798
- Facts being preached.
- 00:11:19.864 --> 00:11:21.166
- We don't want to hear
- 00:11:21.232 --> 00:11:21.933
- The opinions of experts
- 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:23.168
- Being preached.
- 00:11:23.234 --> 00:11:24.035
- Want to hear
- 00:11:24.102 --> 00:11:24.836
- The word of the living god.

- Hallelujah.
- 00:11:25.970 --> 00:11:27.672
- And when you spend time
- 00:11:27.739 --> 00:11:28.506

- Cry out for knowledge, cry out for wisdom, seek for her
- 00:11:35.880 --> 00:11:37.615
- Cry out for wisdom, seek for her as for hid treasures.

- As for hid treasures. you shall understand the wisdom
- 00:11:39.450 --> 00:11:40.785

- Harvest in his life. it's the same word of god that

- It's the same word of god that goes into all the four types
- 00:12:45.116 --> 00:12:47.185
- Goes into all the four types of heart or ground.
- 00:12:47.252 --> 00:12:50.622
- Of heart or ground. it's the same seed
- 00:12:50.688 --> 00:12:51.623
- It's the same seed that goes into--the seed
- 00:12:51.689 --> 00:12:52.991
- That goes into--the seed is the word of god.
- 00:12:53.057 --> 00:12:54.759
- Is the word of god. they heard the word of god.
- 00:12:54.826 --> 00:12:56.227
- They heard the word of god. it's like speaking of, like,
- 00:12:56.294 --> 00:12:57.829
- It's like speaking of, like, the audience in jesus's time.
- 00:12:57.896 --> 00:12:59.998
- The audience in jesus's time. they were there, they heard his
- 00:13:00.064 --> 00:13:01.199
- They were there, they heard his preaching, but there are four
- 00:13:01.266 --> 00:13:02.267
- Preaching, but there are four types of hearts and there are
- 00:13:02.333 --> 00:13:04.335
- Types of hearts and there are those whose hearts are,
- 00:13:04.402 --> 00:13:06.004
- Those whose hearts are, like, on the wayside.
- 00:13:06.070 --> 00:13:07.605
- Like, on the wayside. these are seeds sown
- 00:13:07.672 --> 00:13:08.473
- These are seeds sown on the wayside.
- 00:13:08.539 --> 00:13:10.041
- On the wayside. notice the wayside speaks
- 00:13:10.108 --> 00:13:11.142
- Notice the wayside speaks of people who are sideliners,
- 00:13:11.209 --> 00:13:13.177
- Of people who are sideliners, they are people
- 00:13:13.244 --> 00:13:14.078
- They are people who are not in the center.
- 00:13:14.145 --> 00:13:15.780
- Who are not in the center. in other words, they are not
- 00:13:15.847 --> 00:13:16.681
- In other words, they are not really the--it's like they hear
- 00:13:16.748 --> 00:13:18.349
- Really the--it's like they hear the preaching online,
- 00:13:18.416 --> 00:13:19.484
- The preaching online, for example, on sunday.
- 00:13:19.550 --> 00:13:20.618
- For example, on sunday. god's word is being preached,
- 00:13:20.685 --> 00:13:21.886
- God's word is being preached, right, on sunday, but it's like
- 00:13:21.953 --> 00:13:23.688
- Right, on sunday, but it's like they may switch it on and then
- 00:13:23.755 --> 00:13:25.223
- They may switch it on and then they get distracted with doing
- 00:13:25.290 --> 00:13:26.324
- They get distracted with doing other things and they might be
- 00:13:26.391 --> 00:13:27.992
- Other things and they might be looking at their phone,
- 00:13:28.059 --> 00:13:29.427
- Looking at their phone, and you know?
- 00:13:29.494 --> 00:13:30.295
- And you know? it's like they expect the seed
- 00:13:30.361 --> 00:13:31.462
- It's like they expect the seed to fall on the wayside.
- 00:13:31.529 --> 00:13:32.997
- To fall on the wayside. they are hearing,
- 00:13:33.064 --> 00:13:34.132
- They are hearing, but they're not understanding.
- 00:13:34.198 --> 00:13:36.134
- But they're not understanding. you know, you--have you ever had
- 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:37.068
- You know, you--have you ever had that experience, guys, where
- 00:13:37.135 --> 00:13:38.369
- That experience, guys, where your wife is talking to you,
- 00:13:38.436 --> 00:13:39.804
- Your wife is talking to you, you hear words, but your mind
- 00:13:39.871 --> 00:13:41.072
- You hear words, but your mind is on something else?
- 00:13:41.139 --> 00:13:41.973
- Is on something else? you're thinking about golf
- 00:13:42.040 --> 00:13:42.941
- You're thinking about golf or something, right?
- 00:13:43.007 --> 00:13:44.575
- Or something, right? and then she says, "you're not
- 00:13:44.642 --> 00:13:45.476
- And then she says, "you're not listening to me, right?"
- 00:13:45.543 --> 00:13:46.477
- Listening to me, right?" and then you repeat
- 00:13:46.544 --> 00:13:47.245
- And then you repeat the very last line
- 00:13:47.312 --> 00:13:48.313
- The very last line that she said just now.
- 00:13:48.379 --> 00:13:50.581
- That she said just now. you are hearing,
- 00:13:50.648 --> 00:13:51.316
- You are hearing, but you're not listening.
- 00:13:51.382 --> 00:13:53.952
- But you're not listening. so god says, and he said more
- 00:13:54.018 --> 00:13:55.253
- So god says, and he said more than once in this passage here,
- 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:57.188
- Than once in this passage here, "'he who has ears to hear,
- 00:13:57.255 --> 00:13:59.490
- "'he who has ears to hear, let him hear,' the lord said."
- 00:13:59.557 --> 00:14:02.794
- Let him hear,' the lord said." and your hearing is vital.
- 00:14:02.860 --> 00:14:04.195
- And your hearing is vital. you need to hear it first, but
- 00:14:04.262 --> 00:14:05.897
- You need to hear it first, but then you need to be not on the
- 00:14:05.964 --> 00:14:07.231
- Then you need to be not on the wayside, to be in the center,
- 00:14:07.298 --> 00:14:09.133
- Wayside, to be in the center, receiving god's word.
- 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:10.702
- Receiving god's word. and then another thing
- 00:14:10.768 --> 00:14:11.769
- And then another thing jesus said in this parable.
- 00:14:11.836 --> 00:14:13.771
- Look at what he said about
- 00:14:14.072 --> 00:14:15.406
- Look at what he said about the way you hear--what you hear
- 00:14:15.473 --> 00:14:18.009
- The way you hear--what you hear and the way you hear.
- 00:14:18.076 --> 00:14:18.876
- And the way you hear. "if anyone has ears to hear,
- 00:14:18.943 --> 00:14:20.845
- "if anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
- 00:14:20.912 --> 00:14:22.146
- Let him hear." again, the emphasis.
- 00:14:22.213 --> 00:14:23.648
- Again, the emphasis. "'if anyone has ears to hear,
- 00:14:23.715 --> 00:14:24.916
- "'if anyone has ears to hear, let him here.'
- 00:14:24.983 --> 00:14:26.351
- Let him here.' then he said to them,
- 00:14:26.417 --> 00:14:28.052
- Then he said to them, 'take heed what you hear.'"
- 00:14:28.119 --> 00:14:31.089
- 'take heed what you hear.'" the subject.
- 00:14:31.155 --> 00:14:32.824
- The subject. we all want to hear god's word
- 00:14:32.890 --> 00:14:34.292
- We all want to hear god's word because god's word is
- 00:14:34.359 --> 00:14:35.393
- Because god's word is incorruptible seed.
- 00:14:35.460 --> 00:14:37.095
- Incorruptible seed. god's word
- 00:14:37.161 --> 00:14:37.996
- God's word is what regenerates us.
- 00:14:38.062 --> 00:14:39.731
- Is what regenerates us. god's word is what raised jesus
- 00:14:39.797 --> 00:14:41.699
- God's word is what raised jesus from the dead.
- 00:14:41.766 --> 00:14:42.734
- From the dead. hallelujah.
- 00:14:42.800 --> 00:14:44.569
- Hallelujah. amen.
- 00:14:44.635 --> 00:14:45.336
- Amen. we don't want just corruptible
- 00:14:45.403 --> 00:14:46.204
- We don't want just corruptible seed, men's words.
- 00:14:46.270 --> 00:14:47.305
- Seed, men's words. men's words may or may not have
- 00:14:47.372 --> 00:14:49.340
- Men's words may or may not have fruit, but not the kind of fruit
- 00:14:49.407 --> 00:14:50.875
- Fruit, but not the kind of fruit that god's word
- 00:14:50.942 --> 00:14:52.076
- That god's word will produce in your life.
- 00:14:52.143 --> 00:14:53.544
- Will produce in your life. so take heed what you hear.
- 00:14:53.611 --> 00:14:56.314
- So take heed what you hear. "with the same measure you use,
- 00:14:56.381 --> 00:14:58.449
- "with the same measure you use, it will be measured to you;
- 00:14:58.516 --> 00:15:00.385
- It will be measured to you; and to you who hear,
- 00:15:00.451 --> 00:15:01.352
- And to you who hear, more will be given."
- 00:15:01.419 --> 00:15:02.754
- More will be given." now, look at this.
- 00:15:02.820 --> 00:15:03.654
- Now, look at this. here is mark's account.
- 00:15:03.721 --> 00:15:04.989
- Here is mark's account. by the way, just to let you know
- 00:15:05.056 --> 00:15:06.324
- By the way, just to let you know that in the parable of the sower
- 00:15:06.391 --> 00:15:08.326
- And the seed, it appears in the
- 00:15:08.393 --> 00:15:09.460
- And the seed, it appears in the synoptic gospels, which is
- 00:15:09.527 --> 00:15:10.762
- Synoptic gospels, which is matthew, mark, and luke.
- 00:15:10.828 --> 00:15:12.897
- Matthew, mark, and luke. not in john but in the first
- 00:15:12.964 --> 00:15:14.432
- Not in john but in the first three gospels.
- 00:15:14.499 --> 00:15:15.967
- Three gospels. and in all three you will have
- 00:15:16.034 --> 00:15:17.402
- And in all three you will have different insights of the sower
- 00:15:17.468 --> 00:15:20.838
- Different insights of the sower and the seed, and one of them
- 00:15:20.905 --> 00:15:22.240
- And the seed, and one of them will say take heed what you hear
- 00:15:22.306 --> 00:15:24.342
- Will say take heed what you hear like over here.
- 00:15:24.409 --> 00:15:25.510
- Like over here. mark would say that, but luke
- 00:15:25.576 --> 00:15:26.677
- Mark would say that, but luke will say something else.
- 00:15:26.744 --> 00:15:27.779
- Will say something else. in other words,
- 00:15:27.845 --> 00:15:28.646
- In other words, jesus said two things,
- 00:15:28.713 --> 00:15:30.081
- Jesus said two things, but mark's emphasis
- 00:15:30.148 --> 00:15:31.182
- But mark's emphasis was on the first what you hear.
- 00:15:31.249 --> 00:15:33.351
- Was on the first what you hear. and look at luke's emphasis.
- 00:15:33.418 --> 00:15:35.353
- And look at luke's emphasis. "therefore, take heed
- 00:15:35.420 --> 00:15:37.121
- "therefore, take heed how you hear.
- 00:15:37.188 --> 00:15:39.757
- How you hear. for whoever has, to him more
- 00:15:39.824 --> 00:15:43.161

- On, but you didn't, all right? you didn't do all those things.
- 00:18:12.443 --> 00:18:13.511
- You didn't do all those things. and all sudden, while you're

- And all sudden, while you're listening to god's word, the
- 00:18:14.812 --> 00:18:15.947
- Listening to god's word, the devil will say, "you know what?
- 00:18:16.013 --> 00:18:17.248
- Devil will say, "you know what? you didn't read this book.
- 00:18:17.315 --> 00:18:18.916
- You didn't read this book. you have not read this book.
- 00:18:18.983 --> 00:18:19.817
- You have not read this book. how about this?
- 00:18:19.884 --> 00:18:20.785
- How about this? you didn't contact your friend.
- 00:18:20.851 --> 00:18:21.886
- You didn't contact your friend. hey, look at your phone,
- 00:18:21.953 --> 00:18:22.720
- Hey, look at your phone, all right?
- 00:18:22.787 --> 00:18:23.487
- All right? there's a message
- 00:18:23.554 --> 00:18:24.288
- There's a message that just came in."
- 00:18:24.355 --> 00:18:25.056
- That just came in." it's like all hell break loose
- 00:18:25.122 --> 00:18:25.890
- It's like all hell break loose sometimes, all right,
- 00:18:25.957 --> 00:18:26.857
- Sometimes, all right, when you're about
- 00:18:26.924 --> 00:18:27.658
- When you're about to receive god's word.
- 00:18:27.725 --> 00:18:29.160
- To receive god's word. the warfare, my friend,
- 00:18:29.227 --> 00:18:30.728
- The warfare, my friend, is actually getting
- 00:18:30.795 --> 00:18:31.395
- Is actually getting into god's word.
- 00:18:31.462 --> 00:18:32.530
- Into god's word. there are so many things trying
- 00:18:32.597 --> 00:18:33.831
- There are so many things trying to hold you back from hearing
- 00:18:33.898 --> 00:18:35.666
- To hold you back from hearing god's word because the devil
- 00:18:35.733 --> 00:18:36.801
- God's word because the devil is so afraid.
- 00:18:36.867 --> 00:18:38.536
- Is so afraid. yes, friend, he's afraid that
- 00:18:38.603 --> 00:18:40.571
- Yes, friend, he's afraid that you will receive god's word
- 00:18:40.638 --> 00:18:42.039
- You will receive god's word because he knows
- 00:18:42.106 --> 00:18:43.107
- Because he knows that his influence and his power
- 00:18:43.174 --> 00:18:45.476
- That his influence and his power in that area of your life
- 00:18:45.543 --> 00:18:46.577
- In that area of your life will be broken.
- 00:18:46.644 --> 00:18:47.612
- Will be broken. why?
- 00:18:47.678 --> 00:18:48.479
- Why? because the word of god
- 00:18:48.546 --> 00:18:49.380
- Because the word of god is greater than him.
- 00:18:49.447 --> 00:18:50.348
- Is greater than him. hallelujah.
- 00:18:50.414 --> 00:18:52.350
- Then jesus shared another
- 00:18:52.416 --> 00:18:53.351
- Then jesus shared another parable here.
- 00:18:53.417 --> 00:18:55.519
- Parable here. "and he said, 'the kingdom
- 00:18:55.586 --> 00:18:57.188
- "and he said, 'the kingdom of god is as if a man should
- 00:18:57.255 --> 00:18:58.990
- Of god is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground and
- 00:18:59.056 --> 00:19:01.058
- Should sleep by night and rise
- 00:19:01.225 --> 00:19:03.961
- Should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should
- 00:19:04.028 --> 00:19:05.763
- By day, and the seed should sprout and grow,
- 00:19:05.830 --> 00:19:08.532
- Sprout and grow, he himself does not know how.'"
- 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.135
- He himself does not know how.'" i like this.
- 00:19:11.202 --> 00:19:12.236
- I like this. he himself does not know how.
- 00:19:12.303 --> 00:19:14.472
- He himself does not know how. so this man scatter seed
- 00:19:14.538 --> 00:19:15.873
- So this man scatter seed on the ground, and he goes to
- 00:19:15.940 --> 00:19:17.208
- On the ground, and he goes to sleep by night and rise by day.
- 00:19:17.275 --> 00:19:20.111
- Sleep by night and rise by day. in other words,
- 00:19:20.177 --> 00:19:21.279
- In other words, he just lives his normal life.
- 00:19:21.345 --> 00:19:23.014
- He just lives his normal life. "and the seed should sprout
- 00:19:23.080 --> 00:19:24.415
- "and the seed should sprout and grow,
- 00:19:24.482 --> 00:19:25.816
- And grow, he himself does not know how."
- 00:19:25.883 --> 00:19:27.918
- Friend, how about prioritizing
- 00:19:27.985 --> 00:19:29.553
- Friend, how about prioritizing god's word.
- 00:19:29.620 --> 00:19:31.122
- God's word. prioritize god's word.
- 00:19:31.188 --> 00:19:32.690
- Prioritize god's word. just listen to god's word.
- 00:19:32.757 --> 00:19:34.325
- Just listen to god's word. if you're not the reading type,
- 00:19:34.392 --> 00:19:36.027
- If you're not the reading type, all right, listen to god's word.
- 00:19:36.093 --> 00:19:37.328
- All right, listen to god's word. if you are sick in your body,
- 00:19:37.395 --> 00:19:39.130
- If you are sick in your body, it's not enough just to say,
- 00:19:39.196 --> 00:19:40.031
- It's not enough just to say, "okay, i'm just going to take
- 00:19:40.097 --> 00:19:41.165
- "okay, i'm just going to take communion, right?
- 00:19:41.232 --> 00:19:43.034
- Communion, right? that's how i know
- 00:19:43.100 --> 00:19:43.968
- That's how i know i'll be healed."
- 00:19:44.035 --> 00:19:45.169
- I'll be healed." yes, friend, but you need
- 00:19:45.236 --> 00:19:46.404

- You need--you know, it's not just--it's not
- 00:19:49.473 --> 00:19:50.374
- It's not just--it's not a magical formula, friend.
- 00:19:50.441 --> 00:19:52.443
- A magical formula, friend. it is actually a revelation.
- 00:19:52.510 --> 00:19:53.911
- It is actually a revelation. this is a time of communion with
- 00:19:53.978 --> 00:19:55.379
- This is a time of communion with the lord, having that revelation
- 00:19:55.446 --> 00:19:57.748
- The lord, having that revelation where, you know, you see what he
- 00:19:57.815 --> 00:19:59.450
- Where, you know, you see what he has done for you, you love him,
- 00:19:59.517 --> 00:20:01.485
- Has done for you, you love him, and then you receive from him.
- 00:20:01.552 --> 00:20:03.120
- And then you receive from him. hallelujah.

- Hallelujah. and that can only come about
- 00:20:04.188 --> 00:20:04.955
- And that can only come about as you get fresh revelation.
- 00:20:05.022 --> 00:20:06.957
- Even though you knew it before,
- 00:20:07.024 --> 00:20:08.259
- Even though you knew it before, you need a fresh revelation.
- 00:20:08.326 --> 00:20:10.761
- You need a fresh revelation. every time, amen, you come to
- 00:20:10.828 --> 00:20:12.496
- Every time, amen, you come to the word of god, you start
- 00:20:12.563 --> 00:20:13.631
- The word of god, you start telling yourself--and this is
- 00:20:13.698 --> 00:20:15.066
- Telling yourself--and this is why meditation is so important.

- In your mind day and night. and the bible says the one

- And the bible says the one who does that,
- 00:20:26.344 --> 00:20:27.645
- Who does that, whatever he does shall prosper.
- 00:20:27.712 --> 00:20:29.847
- Whatever he does shall prosper. not only that.
- 00:20:29.914 --> 00:20:31.182
- Not only that. his leave will always be green.
- 00:20:31.248 --> 00:20:32.550

- Seed, which is to be sown, it remains clean."
- 00:22:12.516 --> 00:22:14.118
- It remains clean." now, this is one of the laws

- If a part of any such carcass--now, this carcass is a
- 00:22:17.488 --> 00:22:19.356
- Carcass--now, this carcass is a carcass you read earlier verses.
- 00:22:19.423 --> 00:22:21.258
- Carcass you read earlier verses. it talks about the gecko lizard.
- 00:22:21.325 --> 00:22:23.360

- I didn't understand that, but as i meditated on it,
- 00:22:33.070 --> 00:22:34.705
- But as i meditated on it, god opened my eyes and i began
- 00:22:34.772 --> 00:22:36.240
- God opened my eyes and i began to see something here.
- 00:22:36.307 --> 00:22:37.741
- To see something here. god is saying--from this one
- 00:22:37.808 --> 00:22:39.143
- God is saying--from this one verse, god is saying
- 00:22:39.210 --> 00:22:40.845

- That carcass is a picture of corruption and death.
- 00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:45.182
- Of corruption and death. it falls--if it's falls on any
- 00:22:45.249 --> 00:22:46.550
- It falls--if it's falls on any planting seed which is to be
- 00:22:46.617 --> 00:22:48.052
- Planting seed which is to be sown, that seed remains clean.
- 00:22:48.118 --> 00:22:50.988
- Sown, that seed remains clean. now, that means death
- 00:22:51.055 --> 00:22:53.090
- Now, that means death and corruption cannot overpower
- 00:22:53.157 --> 00:22:56.360
- And corruption cannot overpower that resurrection life
- 00:22:56.427 --> 00:22:57.928
