Jesus says here for the parable the
first one the seat that fell by the
wayside Jesus says when anyone hears the
word of the kingdom and understandeth it
not then cometh the wicked one the devil
and catches away that which was sown in
his heart this is he which received seed
by the way side all right
understand that not music passive range
there goes my blessing there’s many
other times I don’t understand what
you’re talking about man no it’s not
referring to that kinda last week I told
you even you don’t understand keep on
reading God’s Word the more you read the
understanding will come especially when
you have a teachable heart like a child
depending simply on the Holy Spirit that
will show you it’s not referring today
sometimes you hear truth you don’t
understand do you know that this word
understands it not is not the kind of
thing like passive I don’t understand in
the Greek verb it is active they
deliberately it is the present active
participle this would understand them is
what they purposely hear it when they
hear it they purposely don’t understand
they’d want to meditate they do want to
study they don’t want to ask it’s a
deliberate thing they don’t value X team
and price God’s Word
are you listening people that’s why I’ve
been teaching on meditation every other
year I’ve been sharing there and I’ve
been sharing this from men 1980s on
meditation is what has built my life
every word like preach last week is
pregnant
you’re a squeeze of verse and then in
the verse squeeze a word until your
squeeze every virtue every drop out of
that verse you use it by meditating I’m
not saying you walk around every day in
the morning in them MRT goes around boom
boom boom boom boom boom boom alright
and I’m saying but you can read in the
morning all right all my daily devote
there’s a verse down there take that
verse don’t let other people do
meditating for you
don’t let people break down the verses
and meditate for you
take that verse okay read the preaching
take that verse and memorize that verse
and go to work
meditating the verse let the holy sprit
teach you amen
the way to learn to meditate is to
meditate the way to pray is a submarine
that’s how you learn pray are you with
me so far all right
in other words it’s a deliberate not one
do you know some of your pastor I read
or understand this but that’s the last
week I do understand it that’s not
that’s passive this is present active
participant agree in the word
understands not they deliberately
purposefully refuse to understand are
you with me you understand now he says
if you don’t understand then come up the
wicked one and catcheth away that we you
know I was reading this one time and I
got so much comfort when I realized one
thing these gonna bless you so much we
always thought the devil comes to steal
the word the devil comes to steal the
devil comes to steal and kill the devil
comes to steal and I realized something
I did ask where’s God’s sovereignty in
this God’s sovereignty is this listen
carefully only when you deliberately
purposefully don’t want to understand
God’s Word now as God will not allow the
devil to stop you from hearing all right
you can open the Bible you want to if
you want to it’s up it’s up to you no
one forces you to the devil cannot stop
you from opening the Bible there’s
something that the law will not allow
the devil to do but if you receive God’s
Word you hear God’s Word and you say ah
that’s his opinion ah you know it’s not
important ah that’s work there’s a work
of new men if you deliberately have that
attitude then come off the wicked one
and only then when I saw this hour so
encouraged the devil just cannot anyhow
come and take away your privilege of
hearing God’s Word
but if you deliberately refuse it then
come up the wicket I’m telling you when
I realized they would then the Holy
Spirit brought up but what then to me I
realized I shout hallelujah for God’s
sovereignty there are some things not
laid out for the devil and God says you
cannot stop them from hearing my word if
they so choose you’re going to stop them
from one thing to understand if they
were hearing heart the only time you can
come in and take away the word in your
heart is if they deliberately purposely
refuse to understand to meditate to read
then I allow you to take out what’s in
their heart wow what an encouragement do
you understand
then come of the wicked one it’s not as
if he can anytime come in and just
remove the road no then you go
understand then come up the wicked one
say wow okay
this is here we received seed by the
wayside
we got no time to look at the stony
ground tawny ground let’s jump to the
good ground verse 23 but he that
received seed into the good ground you
see that here of the word and
understands it again present active
participle
it is something active not passive he
deliberate takes it he thank God for it
he values it he meditates on it he
studies it this person will bring forth
fruit some hundredfold some sixty some
thirty
