Why is it important? Why this is simple and yet powerful..
This is so important. It is so simple, yet is the foundation.
Take heed what ye hear:
Be diligent unto what you hear. The simplest thing. All you have to do is be diligent what you hear, consume.
Why?
Watch very closely. Jesus is continuing to explain.
26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
We all know, what He means by the seed. The Word. And the ground is your heart.
Take heed what ye hear:
What words are you planting?
Whose words are you planting?
Verse 27
27 and he goes to bed at night and gets up every day, and [in the meantime] the seed sprouts and grows; how [it does this], he does not know.
While he sleep what he planted sprouts and grows. It produces fruit. He doesn’t know how. Even while he sleep, it grows.
Many a people what to be good and pure and holy. But the temptation is there. There is a constant battle. They try to produce good fruit.
It is a battle, constantly pull between the world and their wish to be holy, pure. Do you not agree?
Do you know why?
Matthew 7:16-17 King James Version (KJV)
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
People are trying to do the impossible. They are trying
People are trying the impossible, to harvest grapes from thorns.it is not going to happen. That is where the struggle is.
Now,
Take heed what ye hear:
If you had planted good seed, (while you sleep not of your effort) the seed sprouts, grows and produces good fruits.
Simple. That’s it. If you don’t want to be tempted. Do not hear or see the evil. You can not be tempted by what you do not know. It is as simple as that.
If you feed only on the Word, the world has influence on you.
The biggest complaint I get is that, i can only talk very few topics. Talk to me about car, I do not know.
Talk to me about sports, I do not know.
Talk to me about politics. I do not know.
I know only few things. The Word and the technology of film making, because that is my profession. That’s all I know.
I want to be a stupid to this world. Let me choose what I hear. I will choose plant HIS SEED HIS WORD.
It is that simple. It is so simple. I say only listen to HIM. I say again, only listen to HIM.
Be blessed
This is so simple. It is so powerful.
the simplicity that is in Christ.
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:3 King James Version (KJV)
Read Mark 4:24-29
