I.Conceiving the Truth
A. God’s Word is His Seed
1. Jesus explained that the keys to understanding the operation of the kingdom of God are hidden from the world, for believers in the parables. He further taught the master key to all the parables is the parable of the Sower and the Seed. (Matt. 13, Mark 4, Luke 8)
a.(Luke 8:11 TPT) God’s Word is the Seed and our heart is the ground.
~(1 Pet. 1:23 AMP) God’s Word is His Seed.
~(ref. John 6:63; 17:17; 8:31-32) God’s Word is truth, life and make you free.
~(Ps. 107:20) The Bible is like a bag of God Seed.
~(1 Pet. 2:24; Phil. 4:19; 2 Cor. 2:14; Ps. 91)
2.(Matt. 13:24-29 TPT)
a.(Prov. 18:21) Death and life in words
~(Prov. 13:2-3; 15:4)
B. Your Heart is the Ground
(Mark 4:26-29 KJV) “For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself…” (automatos – automatically)
a.The earth contains everything in the soil to produce all the living things that are on the earth. The seed is the catalyst that contains the power to cause the earth to produce.
~(Gen. 1:11, 12, 24, 26; 2:7)
2.In the same way the earth contains the trees, and the plants and the seed is the catalyst that causes them to come forth out of the ground. Your born-again spirit contains all of the life of God: His health, wealth, peace, purpose etc. and God’s Word, His Seed is the catalyst to bring it forth out of your heart.
a.(Prov. 4:20-27)
b. (Prov. 15:13; 17:22; 23:7a; 27:19 NIV)
