Heart Condition

I am not much into gardening but I know a lot about about it. At one time back in the day I had a house full of plants and I attempted to have a flower garden once upon a time. You don't want to know the outcome, it isn't a pleasant story to tell. I am saying all this to mainly talk about the ground.  In Mark Chapter 4, Jesus is teaching at the beach and the crowd is enormous. It is always crowded at the beach isn't it? Well anyway He uses what the Bible calls parables to teach, as His teachings are for those with ears to hear what The Spirit is saying to the believer. But all are welcome to hear and receive from the Savior. So anyway He starts to teach on the sower and the seed that is sown into the ground and then He discusses the various conditions of the ground.  The ground being synonomous with a persons heart and the condition of our heart.  As you read this chapter and hear what the Teacher is saying,  you can see that all hear God's Word.  Believer and perhaps unbeliever both hear The Word.  What happens next is interesting because it all depends on the condition of the ground that determines the results of the sown seed.  The 4 types of ground that The Teacher is talking about  are these:  The footpath,  shallow ground,   rocky or thorny ground,  and finally fertile  or good soil. If you examine  each  ground and look at the results  it will help you know what condition your heart is in. We all fall into one of these conditions, whether you are a believer or not.  The foot path  soil  seed got eaten up by the birds. Gone.  Shallow ground didn't have much protection so the sun scorched the precious seed and as a result the quicky sprouting plant wilted and died out. Gone. Thorny, rocky ground  choked out the plant, it didn't have a chance to produce any grain. Gone.  But now the fertile, good soil  caused the crop to produce an abundance of harvest many times over.  We all hear God's Word. How we process it  and what we do with it is determined by the condition of our heart. It really does come down to the heart condition we all are walking around with. The Teacher talked about everything from the thief himself to the dept of Gods Word inside of you, your Faith  level and the cares of this fading world we live in  coming to steal  the seed or this Precious Word  that is planted into all who will receive it.  Remember The Teacher said in this message we ALL hear the Word. What happens next is really up to us.  I blogged recently about a famine in the land. If you haven't read it yet please do cause I feel God is speaking into me about the Word and that people could be perishing because the Life Blood that is His Word is lying dormant. I promised God to only write what the Holy Spirit  leads me to and this seems to be a heavy subject.  The Word of God is Life bringing Light to all who receive it into their spirit.  The Bible says the Word  gave Life to everything that was created and His Life brought Light to everyone. (John1:4). This sounds like with out this Word there is no Life  or Light. What must that be like?  Who would even want to know? Without Life  wouldn't that be like the walking dead?  Without Light isn't that complete darkness. Isaiah 60:2 says that darkness shall cover the earth and thick darkness the people, but the Glory of the Lord rises and appears over you.  Part of this Scripture is one of those I wish wasn't in the Bible. (I am having a flashback to my last post, sorry). Wake up to the Light of the Lord Almighty. Let your heart be the good soil that produces a harvest.  His Word is needed to live down here and He gave it to us freely and He saturated it with Love, Power, Blessings,  and all we have to do is receive it and believe it. Get your Word out and let it minister Life to you.   John 1: 1- 18.  Be Blessed of The Lord.   I love you!!!    Psalm 146.
