Matthew 13; Verses 18-23; The Parable of the Sower Explained

The explanation of the Parable of the Sower. If Christ is going over it again. Well, doubly important. Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 13:18-23) "Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

(Listen closely. Parable = side-by-side comparison to separate truth. Like slicing with the Sword of the Spirit right in half. Truth from lie, fact from fiction, life from death).

Sower = scattering seeds. Here the Gospel and the Word of God. No one is exempt. Everyone who has ever heard the Gospel and had the mental faculty to make a decision it applies.

19When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

(These were the fowls. This is like someone buying you a field to farm and think nothing of it (never penetrating the heart). But then go on mocking the person who bought the field. That field you reject is the earth. "Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth." Matthew 5:5. If satan snatched immediately the motives were never pure from the get-go).

20But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

And because of receiving with joy and stony they just come out hardened (nothing will please them) after dealing with satan. This is why it is the utmost of importance and I stress the Gospel Armour.

21Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

(When things get a little rocky nowhere to be found. They are in it for a season. No foundation here. They failed to move on from salvation message. But what makes them turn away? The Word. It's a thing that increases as well. So if your reading this and see this coming here you have it. Don't let it be you, and I don't want to see it be you).

22He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

(Now this is important the 3 types of the negative side. Now in the end all go back to the world. The deceitful of riches always has to do with trying to gain everything then think one can change the world. What else is never counted in that equation is how much you have to lie, cheat, and steal everyday to get their i.e. ill-gotten gains "to get to the top." As the world would say).

23But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."

(They held on (faith) for that season, weathered the storm(s). They weathered all types of weather. Now it's going to pay off. And Christ is happy with all the returns here. As I say many times sometimes people think or can feel the Lord is not with them. Look at your motives and you can be rest assured He is there. This is and can only be done by and through the Holy Spirit in this world of darkness. The ONLY light. You can be assure just how wide that line in separation is with the Sword--light from dark).

Amen †
