PERRY SEELY MINISTRIES 🌎 THE SEED/THE WORD OF GOD

Luke 8:5-8/8:11-15
NKJV

“A sower went out to sow his seed.
And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it.

Some fell on the rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture.

And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it.

But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundred fold.”

When he had said these things he cried, “he who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the wayside are the ones who here; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and they have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away.

Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

But the ones that fell on good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.

* THE SEED THAT IS THE WORD OF GOD. *

* ALL OF US WHO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD ARE ONE OF THESE FOUR TYPES OF PEOPLE…….

(1) WAYSIDE—HEAR THE WORD AND THE DEVIL SNATCHES THE WORD OUT OF YOUR HEART BEFORE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR.

(2) ROCKS—THOSE WHO RECIEVE THE WORD BUT HAVE NO ROOT AND BELIEVE FOR A WHILE. IN TIME OF TEMPTATION FALL AWAY.

(3) THORNS—HEAR THE WORD BUT THE CARES, RICHES, AND PLEASURES OF LIFE CHOKE THE WORD OUT. THEY BEAR NO FRUIT.

(4) GOOD GROUND—HEAR THE WORD WITH A NOBLE AND GOOD HEART. THEY KEEP THE WORD IN THEIR HEART AND BEAR FRUIT WITH PATIENCE.
