FRIDAY MESSAGE
PARABLE OF THE SOWER 1/12

INTRODUCTION

Throughout the next lessons we will learn great secrets of God.

To understand the parable of the sower, it is important to know the Cardinal Law of God that Jesus taught – Mark 4:26

In the kingdom of God everything works with seeds:

Trees are the result of seeds;
Children are the result of seeds;
Attitudes are seeds;
Money is a seed;
What you sow, you will reap – Luke 6:38
Words are seeds;
Death and life are in the power of the tongue – Proverbs 18:21
Speak as God speaks – Joshua 1:8
Everything you believe in your heart will happen – Mark 11:23

Everything we sow, we will reap.

This law works for believers and unbelievers. What we want to reap, we must first sow.

Everything in heaven and on earth, yesterday, today, and forever, works according to the cardinal law of God’s government.

PARABLE OF THE SOWER – Mark 4:1-13

God’s Word = Good seed; Heart = soil;

We need to “sow” Bible verses in our hearts:

– meditating on verses about health = seeds of health;

– meditating on verses about finances = seeds of finances;

-etc;

God’s word is God’s system that transforms lives.

SOWING THE WORD IN THE HEART

The secret is to sow seeds (the word) in the soil (the heart) – Joshua 1:8

To meditate is:

– to have communion with God;

– to “chew” God’s word = to read the verses slowly and personalize them; – Something constant/regular;

The enemy knows this secret and doesn’t want people to discover the truth and practice God’s method, because that’s how he keeps humanity away from Jesus, the Word, and the Church.

There are 4 forces in the Universe:

1st – Jesus – the brother who resurrected;

2nd – Church – where the greatest power in the world resides;

3rd – Devil – the defeated one;

4th – World – doesn’t work.

We have to choose the right side.

THE ENEMY’S TACTICS – Mark 4:14-20

The devil’s attacks to achieve his goals are:

a) Attack #1 – the devil comes to steal the Word;

b) Attack #2 – tribulations;

c) Attack #3 – persecutions (religious and political);

d) Attack #4 – cares of this world;

e) Attack #5 – deceitfulness of riches/glory; f) Attack #6 – ambition for other things;

Whoever manages to overcome these attacks will win!
