the ones along the path
are those who have the words sown in
their hearts that’s you today
but when they hear
Satan comes at once
and by force
takes away the message which is sown
in them
and that happens to so many people I
don’t even realize what’s going on you
have to understand the devil hates hates
hates your progress
and see if you really listen today
pay attention
it’s going to help you make progress
it’s going to help you
the rest of the day and tomorrow and
next week and
you’re gonna learn some things about
trouble that’s going to help you handle
it
may be better
than what you’re handling it
in Mark 4 I think it’s verse 27 the
Bible says
that the measure of thought and study
that we give to the truth that we hear
is the measure of virtue and knowledge
that will come back
to us
so this is not a thing
you should just
come
sit there and enjoy all the work that
I’ve put into this
if you want to get the most that you can
out of what you hear
you need to leave and go home and think
about it some
and one of the things that we really
need to do is we need to apply the
message that we hear to our own life
not just wish somebody else was here
that you think needs a message
but ask yourself
how does this apply
to my life
do I have a problem with this in my life
well the devil doesn’t want you to do
that so he tries before you ever even
get a chance
to steal that word from you
well you say Joyce how might he do that
well you know you could you could get
offended in the parking lot
somebody cuts you off or they’re not
acting very Godly and
you get offended and say a few unkind
things and
the devil’s got you going in a different
direction than
what God wants you to go in which is to
be able to
meditate on what you heard and
really think about applying it to your
life it’s disturbing to me that so many
people think that just going to church
is all there is to it
let somebody else do all the work and
I’m just going to go and sit in that
padded pew
and get my check mark on my went to
church calendar
but you got to apply it to your life I
want you to remember that
apply it to your life
it doesn’t do one bit of good for you to
be here today if you’re not going to
apply this
to your life
amen
the Devil comes at once he doesn’t waste
any time he comes at once
and by force
steals what was sown in your heart and
in the same way the one sewn upon Stony
ground
are those who when they hear the word at
once receive and accept it and welcome
it with joy those people are fun to have
in the service
because they are excited
about what they hear
they’re the ameners amen
amen
amen you love everything that says
and then you don’t go home do a thing
with it
because you don’t have the Bible says
you don’t have any any depth
in your life
don’t have any depth you’re just
an emotional hearer
sounds good yeah
praise the Lord break those chains I
like that music
I’m going to keep just
doing a bunch of stuff that I shouldn’t
be doing but break those chains this
this sounds good
and they have no real root in themselves
and so they endure for a little while
then when trouble or persecution arises
on account of the word
and I love that see it doesn’t say that
trouble or persecution arises because
you got sin in your life
now sometimes that can be the case
like for example the Bible says if we go
to bed angry
that that gives the devil a foothold in
our life
if you have unconfessed
sin in your life that can be an open
door for the devil but there’s only two
times in your life when you have trouble
that’s when you’re doing something wrong
and when you’re doing something right
and this says that
the Devil comes on account of the word
just because
you’re here today
don’t mean to
give you a bad report but it makes you a
Target
because the devil despises
progress
