IT'S NOT MEANT FOR EVERYONE TO SEE...

 HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED HOW COME IT'S SO HARD TO PLANT SEEDS ON CERTAIN PEOPLE ?  THE ANSWER IS IN GOD'S WORD.

HAVE YOU READ IT ?  IT IS WRITTEN.

LET'S GO TO THE WORD.

Mark 4:1    And He began again to teach by the seaside : and there was gathered unto Him a great multitude, so that He entered into a ship, and sat in the sea ; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

4:2    And He taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in His doctrine, 

4:3    "Hearken ; Behold, there went out a sower to sow :

4:4    And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side (a path), and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

4:5    And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth ; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth :

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION ! CHRIST WILL EXPLAIN TO THE ONES WHO HAVE EYES TO SEE.

4:6    But when the sun was up, it was scorched ; and because it had no root, it withered away.

4:7    And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yield no fruit.

THORNS = SYMBOLIC OF THE KENITES (SATAN'S OFFSPRING).

THE KENITES WILL ALWAYS TRY TO TWIST AND CHANGE GOD'S WORD. IF YOU, OR YOUR CHURCH IS NOT WELL GROUNDED IN THE WORD THEY WILL DECEIVE YOU.

4:8    And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased ; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

IF YOUR CHURCH IS WELL GROUNDED IN THE WORD, IT WILL PRODUCE FRUIT.

4:9    And He said unto them, "He that hath ears to hear let him hear."

NOT EVERYONE HAS EARS TO HEAR.

4:10    And when He was alone, they that were about Him with the twelve asked of Him the parable.

4:11    And He said unto them, "Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God : but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables :

HE IS TELLING YOU THAT IT'S NOT MEANT FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW THE TRUTH AT THIS TIME.

4:12    That seeing they may see, and not perceive ; and hearing they may hear, and not understand ; lest at anytime they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them."

IT'S NOT MEANT FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW THE TRUTH.

4:13   And He said unto them, "Know ye not this parable ? and how then will ye know all parables?

4:14    The sower soweth the word.

4:15    And these are they by the wayside, where the word is sown ; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taken away the word that was sown in their hearts.

CHRISTIANS AFTER THEY ARE SAVED THEY MUST LEARN THE WORD IN DEPTH. OTHERWISE SATAN WILL DECEIVE THEM AND THEY CAN LOSE THEIR FAITH.

HOWEVER, IT IS DIFFICULT TO SOW THE WORD IN SOME PEOPLE'S MINDS.

WHY ? BECAUSE THEY ARE WEAK AND GOD DOES NOT WANT THEM TO PERISH.  HE IS THE ONE WHO PUT THE BLINDERS ON (ROMANS 11:7-10).

THEY WILL LEARN IN THE MILLENNIUM (CHRIST'S THOUSAND YEAR REIGN ; EZEKIEL 44).

4:16    And these are likewise which are sown on stony ground ; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness ;

4:17    And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time : afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

SOME CATCH ON QUICKLY AFTER THEY ARE SAVED.  THEY ARE EXCITED AT FIRST, BUT THE EXCITEMENT WILL NOT LAST BECAUSE, THEY NEVER STUDY THE WORD, AND WILL TRUST ANYONE THAT SAYS IS A MAN OTHE CLOTH, OR ANOTHER CHRISTIAN WITHOUT CHECKING THEM OUT IN THE WORD.

GOD CANNOT USE THESE TYPE OF PEOPLE TO DO HIS WORK.

4:18    And these are they which are sown among thorns ; such as hear the word,

4:19    And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

THESE TYPES OF INDIVIDUALS DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR GOD. OTHER THINGS ARE MORE IMPORTANT (EVEN IF THEY GO TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY).

A SEED TO GROW IN A HARD BUSY BODY IS IMPOSSIBLE.

4:20    And these are they which are sown on good ground ; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred."

THESE ARE THE ONES WHO COME OUT OF CONFUSION.  THE SEED GROWS BECAUSE GOD KNOWS HE CAN COUNT ON THAT PERSON TO DO HIS WORK (ONLY GOD CAN MAKE A SEED GROW).

4:21    And He said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed ? and not to be set on a candlestick ?

A CANDLE IS BROUGHT FOR A MAN TO SEE. 

IN OTHER WORDS, HE WANT YOU TO SOW A SEED (DON'T BE A CLOSET CHRISTIAN). HOWEVER, IT'S UP TO GOD TO MAKE IT GROW.

4:22    For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested ; neither was anything kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

I'M NOT GOING TO HIDE IT FOR ANYONE.

4:23    If any man have ears to hear, let him hear."

NOTE :  All Christians should plan seeds but...only God can make it grow.

Don't be a religious fanatic or judgmental.

People that never had the chance to learn about Christ will learn in the millennium (Christ's thousand year reign).

God is a just God and will never judge anyone to death that had never have the opportunity to learn about Him.  Do not listen to men's doctrines and traditions.

GOD BLESS
