THE WORD : SEED

Texts : Isaiah 6 : 9-10; Mark 4 : 1-34

Messiah taught the parable of the Sower and the Seed to His disciples and then in private He expounded to them the meaning.  He said that the Seed is the Word and that the prophecy of Isaiah 6:9-10 had been fulfilled.  But praises be to our Messiah that even in the prophecy is embedded words of life.  In verse 10, it states " ... lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert , and be healed" (Isa,6:10b).  That in itself is a prayer for The Holy Spirit to teach us all things and to sanctify us with His truth.
This is to move us from the earthly mindset and to focus our minds on the Heavenly Kingdom of Yahweh; or to live by His Torah only.  Too often we want to live the spiritual in an earthly way.  But He said the just must live by faith.  Now faith is spiritual and totally focused on Him and His kingdom.  Often His instructions to man does not make sense; but the key here is to focus on Who is speaking.  That is why Abraham was enabled to offer up Isaac because of Whom had asked him to do it.  It is an absolute surrender of one self as Messiah Yahshua was completely surrendered to His Father's will always.  Yahshua says to us : "follow Me" ; so too He asks that we be totally surrendered to Him and then He can create a clean heart in us that follows hard after Him.  Are you willing to let go ?  He will help us to do so!
