"THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!" by Pastor Robert Oliver
Matthew 13:19 says~ "When Anyone '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 Wayside!"
Oh Me Oh My Dearly Beloved Believers, I Hope You're 'Listening' Carefully to the "WORDS IN RED" Today! 'JESUS' Our LORD, is 'Giving' HIS Disciples an Incredible Insight Here "Into" the "spiritual Realm!" So Let's Examine "9" Things Here Beloved:
First, Notice the Word~ "ANYONE!" JESUS Says~ "WHEN ANYONE!" Now, I Really Like this Church, Because 'JESUS' is Saying that "ANYONE" is 'ELIGIBLE' to "HEAR" HIS "WORD!" He's Saying~ "ANYONE" Can "HEAR" and "BELIEVE!" I Don't Know about You but I'm So 'Glad' that I'm an "ANYONE!" And Listen, this 'Tells' Me Clearly, that I Can 'WITNESS' to "ANYONE!" And I Can Do it "ANYWHERE!" And I Can Do it "ANYTIME!" JESUS Said~ "ANYONE!!!"
But Secondly, Notice "WHAT" JESUS Says ANYONE "MUST" DO! He says~ "WHEN ANYONE HEARETH!" Oh Yes Believers, there is Only "ONE THING" that JESUS is 'LOOKING' FOR: "ANYONE" WHO WILL "HEAR" HIS "VOICE!!!" Hey, Do You Know 'Why' MOST People Are "NOT SAVED?" Beloved It's Because "MOST" People 'REFUSE' to "HEAR" the "VOICE OF JESUS!" Listen, 'Where' there is a "WILLING" HEART, there Will 'Also' Be a WILLING "EAR!" John Said~ "HE THAT HATH 'EARS' TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR!!!"
Ok But Thirdly, Notice "WHAT" it IS That Anyone 'MUST' HEAR! JESUS Says~ "WHEN ANYONE HEARETH 'THE' WORD!" Aha, Now 'Here' is the KEY, the 'Starting Point', for Any 'Soul' in Coming to JESUS: that is, that They MUST "HEAR" THE "WORD" OF GOD!!! Did You 'Hear' Me? Listen, You CANNOT "REJECT" THE 'BIBLE' and Still 'COME' To JESUS, it Won't Work! Why? Because the 'LOGOS', the "WORD WAS MADE FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US!" And You "CANNOT HAVE JESUS CHRIST WHILE 'REJECTING' HIS WORD!!!"
But Fourthly, Notice "WHAT" the "SUBJECT" of THE WORD Is! MESSIAH Says~ "WHEN ANYONE HEARETH THE WORD OF 'THE' KINGDOM!" Ah Yes Indeed Beloved, I'm So 'Glad' that GOD'S WORD "TELLS" Me All About "HIS GLORIOUS KINGDOM", that is, the "KINGDOM OF HEAVEN!" Listen Now, HIS WORD "OPENS" HEAVEN'S "GATES" to Sinful Man, and 'INSTRUCTS' Him on "HOW TO GET THERE!" And I Say Unto You, that "WITHOUT THE BIBLE" We HAVE "NO HOPE OF GETTING TO HEAVEN", Because GOD'S "WORD" is HIS 'INSTRUCTION' MANUAL On "HOW TO GET THERE!!!"
Alright But Fifthly, Notice the 'Inability' to "COMPREHEND!" He says~ "WHEN ANYONE HEARETH THE WORD OF THE KINGDOM, AND 'UNDERSTANDETH' IT NOT!" What? What Does this Mean? Listen Now, "MOST" People that You Quote 'SCRIPTURE' to, Will "NOT UNDERSTAND IT!" And That's Simply 'Because' it Takes the "AUTHOR" of Any 'BOOK' to "EXPLAIN IT'S MEANING!" And the "AUTHOR OF GOD'S WORD IS THE HOLY SPIRIT!" So, "UNTIL ONE 'RECEIVES' GOD'S SPIRIT" THEY "CANNOT" UNDERSTAND HIS "WORD!" Paul said in I Corinthians 2:14~ "But the 'NATURAL' (Unregenerate) MAN RECEIVETH 'NOT' THE THINGS OF THE 'SPIRIT' OF GOD!" So This Shows us Why Spiritual "REGENERATION" is So Vital to One's 'Understanding' the "BIBLE!!!"
But Sixthly, Notice "WHO" Shows Up 'When' You Give out "GOD'S WORD!" JESUS Says~ "WHEN ANYONE HEARETH THE WORD OF THE KINGDOM, AND UNDERSTANDETH IT NOT, 'THEN' COMETH THE 'WICKED' ONE!" What? Did You 'Hear' that? 'JESUS' Said that Anytime You & I 'Give' Someone the "WORD OF GOD", Mark it Down, the "DEVIL SHOWS UP!" But WHY? 'Why' Do You Suppose that the "Devil" is So 'Engaged' in Coming Around 'When' Christians "SHARE" GOD'S WORD? Oh I'm So 'Glad' You Asked: It's Because He "DOES NOT WANT THEM TO RECEIVE IT!!!" And He Will Do 'Anything' in order to "PREVENT" Souls From "UNDERSTANDING" GOD'S WORD! So He "CONFUSES" Them, and 'Tells' Them Within that "GOD IS A LIAR" and THE "BIBLE IS NOT TRUE!" He 'Started' that Practice Way Back in the 'Garden' when He told Eve~ "YE SHALL 'NOT' SURELY DIE!" Listen to Me Saints, He's a "LIAR" and the FATHER of it!!!
Ok But Seventhly, Notice the "ABILITY" of the Devil! JESUS Says~ "WHEN ANYONE 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!" What??? Wait a Minute Now! Do You 'Mean' to tell Me Pastor, that 'Satan' is Able to "TAKE" GOD'S "WORD" OUT OF SOMEONE'S "HEART?" Yup! That's 'Exactly' What "JESUS" Said Here! Listen, That Old Rascal Just 'Loves' to "DESTROY" the Work of Evangelization by 'Taking' the WORD "AWAY!" HE Said~ "OUT OF HIS HEART!!!" But Let Me Ask You a Question: "HOW" Can He 'Do' This? Answer: It's Easy, He "REPLACES" it With "OTHER" THINGS! 'Evil' Things! 'Sinful' Things!!!
But Eighthly, Notice the "LOCATION" of the WORD! He says~ "WHEN ANYONE 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!" Did You 'Catch' that? And Notice the Word "SOWN!" Listen, JESUS 'Compares' Our Hearts to "SOIL" and He 'Compares' HIS 'WORD' to "SEED!" So, 'Before' HIS "WORD" can TAKE "ROOT" IN MAN'S "HEART", Satan 'attempts' to "REMOVE THAT SEED!!!"
But Ninthly, and Finally, Notice the "DESCRIPTION" of this Person who "ALLOWS" the 'WORD' to be "STOLEN AWAY!" JESUS Says~ "THIS IS 'HE' WHICH RECEIVED SEED 'BY' THE WAYSIDE!" What? What Does 'That' Mean? Well, verse 4 'Explains' that the "SEEDS" that Fall by the 'WAYSIDE' are "DEVOURED" by "BIRDS!" Listen Church, "BIRDS" or 'FOWLS' in Scripture are a "TYPE OF DEMONS!" And this 'First' Type of Soil "NEVER" Actually "RECEIVES" the 'WORD', and therefore, they "NEVER GET SAVED!!!" How "Sad" is this Verse Beloved? The Greek word for 'Wayside' is "Hodos" and Implies a "Path" or "Way of Thinking" or "Course of Conduct" or "Way of Feeling or Deciding!" Did You "Hear" That??? JESUS is 'Describing' a Person Who is "MAKING A 'DECISION' IN HIS LIFE'S JOURNEY!!!" And He or She "MADE THE 'WRONG' DECISION!!!" But Praise GOD For the 'GOOD' GROUND, the 'GOOD' SOIL, the "FRUIT-BEARING" TYPE, some 30-fold, some 60-fold, and SOME 100-FOLD!!! So My Word to You today Dear One is Simple: JUST BE A "SOWER" OF THE SEED, and LEAVE THE "RESULTS" TO GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT!!! Blessings to All, and Shalom...
