Speaker 1:

Word is sown, seeds are sown, but what is the difference? Right, because I mean they're both sown and we reference with joy. Right, we're saying happiness. But if the word is sown and the seeds are sown, what's the difference? So the word of sown could be the external works, right, in what way, shape or form? We proclaim it, we test it, but then again, the opposition would mean that we're receptive to it, we're hearing it and we are capable of receiving it.

Speaker 1:

I referenced the invitation. You have an invitation to eternity, to heaven, to your creator, to your savior. You are forgiven, but most of us are incapable of receiving that invitation. You might have it right in your hand, you might be capable of reading it, you know what it means, you know what the intention is, but you might be capable of reading it. You know what it means, you know what the intention is, but you're actually not capable of fleshing it out or receiving it. So it's a tough one. The seeds are sown. Well, intellectual conception, isn't it, though it's been planted. Somebody tells me the concept.

Speaker 1:

I read the Bible through Scripture salvation, yes, and it's manifesting. I shine light within the subject and it starts planting what's the exact opposite. I neglect to shine light within the subject. I only let it be very, very shallow. I don't actually manifest it and bring it to life. There is no growth within this topic, within this drama, within this particular scripture. This verse and chapter is just boring to me. Did you know that that was true and still present and relevant in today's active times? See, we forget about that, we forget how it goes and how it impacts us internally and externally.

Speaker 1:

Troubled persecution, persecution is going to be troubled in each and every way. The crucifixion of condemnation is no more than a troubled perception of being persecuted. But you can only face persecution when you deny Christ, because if God shall be for you, then nobody shall be against you. So in every way, shape and form, your persecution is no more than the denial of his presence. And if you're asking me if it's relevant to deny his presence, I think I shall walk.

Speaker 1:

I'm still looking for that seed to be planted In a little conception. It's very, very popular and we need to do an increased effort for the youth of the nation so that they understand and have a level of competence. We're so surface level. Do not touch and this is like caution Hot surface. And you see that and immediately and you're young, you're still crawling if you would, but the maturity we need to touch it. We don't quite have it. Seeds sown among thorns that's what I wrote down. Seeds sown among thorns. Why seeds sown among thorns? Because the seeds that are sown among thorns are still going to grow as long as seeds of God and of Christ and they don't have anything to worry about in any way, shape or form, they will continue to advance, the thorns that define it, the growing nature of the seed, as long as it's got water, light and a little bit of love, what's going to go a very long ways?

Speaker 1:

Detach, curiosity, detach curiosity. I'm curious. I'm not just quite sure, but I'm intellectually searching A good mindset for discovery, discovery exits, discovery exits. And when I say discovery exits, you're no longer in restriction and confinement, you're no longer restrained, you're capable of exploring so you can find God in Christ. You can succeed, you can fail Detached. But when you're detached from curiosity, you're immediately put in chains and shackles. You have nowhere to go and there's nothing you can do.

Speaker 1:

Most of us end up settling in life. By the way, it's just a sense of resentment. No, I'm just, I'm okay. They created this world where nobody gets anything and everybody's got to live in shackles and chains. And if you breathe one breath in the wrong direction, you might actually be condemned in worse ways than ever possible. We take it back to him. The only sense of condemnation that you could ever end up facing would be eternity, or being deprived of eternity or actually dying, and those two losses we can't afford to lose in any way, shape or form.

Speaker 1:

Disregard it. Observation, observation comes in a variety of ways shapes and forms. We see it, we hear it, we think it to be pure, and thought, word and deed Excellent. The variety of fashions of the growth that occurs in every land, temple and body needs to be an aspect of God. You know I think I told you this before and I'm not knocking knocking on heaven's door, but each and every day, every form of life God accepts and creature denies. So I told you a variety of fashions. Growth occurs in every land, temple and body, and I'm referencing that In every way, shape and form. Regardless of what you're doing or where you're doing it, the growth is going to continue to occur. So plant the seed and watch it grow. And if it's seeds of steadfastness, if it's seeds of love, joy, happiness and grace and you're truly receiving it, then you've got it and you don't have anything to worry about by means of amusing them.

Speaker 1:

Why do you do what you're doing? Do you seek amusement? Is it tolerable? Do you need denial or acceptance? Go back to Christ. Go back to your Savior, your Redeemer, the reason why you are saved and redeemed. Yes, the great counsel, because I'm searching. I'm searching for what's right in nature. Sometimes what's right in nature is not going to be the eternal image that progresses us and advances us.

Speaker 1:

I once was blind, but now I see that statement is not temporary. It is now and forever, and most of the aspects of life that we embrace should be and shall be, but we're not capable of taking it there Increased, diminished. How can it be diminished? Or increased in the same mindset? Because I'm either failing or I'm gaining, I'm falling or I'm rising. So I'm either increasing in my worth and somebody said wages earlier today and I told them I said'm either increasing in my worth.

Speaker 1:

Somebody said wages earlier today and I told them. I said you're missing the point. I said your wages are wages of holiness or wages of sin. You're laboring in your deeds, actively, daily, within the works of your hands and your feet. I said it's the flesh coming out of you. They looked at me like the flesh coming out of you. Think about what I'm saying. It is the works, it's all you have. You're laboring within it, so you move. You move within that mindset. It grabs you, it grips you, it suspends you, it takes you to a place of eternity, to where you don't have to worry about anything in any way, shape or form.

Speaker 1:

Different style of service your style of service, the demeanor, the deliverance, the proclaiming of it, yes, the testimony, mannerism, including the vocal reproduction, could be a different style. But notice, every one of those could be inward appearance mixed with an external work. The different style of service is no more than the repentantness, the surrender of the white flag, putting it back within his hands and service, continuing thy father's work. A lot of us like to try. We like to try, we like to advance, we like to give him what we got. But if we fail to advance all the way to where we're putting it back within his hands, then we don't quite have it.

Speaker 1:

Perception can be monologued. Why perception? Because if I perceive it to be a certain way and see it in another way, I might not be receptive to it. Perception is enlightening. I know the truth eyes wide open, I've seen it.

Speaker 1:

But if you're still not receptive to the sin, to the inequity, or to the blessing, to the forgiveness, you'll be in sorrow, you'll be in agony and you'll be failing. You'll never get over the hump. Gazing in sorrow, gazing Lost but not found, Found but not lost. Think about what I'm saying In sorrow, why sorrow? Because we should share the agony and sorrow that Christ experienced. You hear that and you're like no, I'm forgiven, I want to be happy, I want to be redeemed. But sorrow can be enlightening because it reminds us to be humble, steadfast. Occasionally you see me falling and I don't mind crawling. Occasionally, jesus pleaded with us. Pleaded with us, pleaded with us. Please Remember that. Please come, come into our hearts, souls and minds. Save me, redeem me.

Speaker 1:

Invitation Attending. When you receive that invitation, are you only attending? Are you visiting? Are you walking, exercising, putting it to rest back within his hands? Confidence in heaven. You can have confidence on earth. You within his hands. Confidence in heaven. You can have confidence on earth. You honor a living God. You can be confident of his works because his works shine within you as a laboring of it. You're fleshing out the innovation, the testament and the devotion of salvation that's been given to you.

Speaker 1:

Nature of the body, soil and this is why I wrote this we were talking about. We started it off here. I skipped a line with the seed, the soils, soil body in different zones. But when you're planting seeds, some of it require a different atmosphere, different type of soil, growing conditions, lights, how many hours of darkness they're putting food on there, fertilizer, et cetera, and there's a lot going on. So, soil body in different zones. Our bodies are receptive to different types of blessings and inequities at different locations.

Speaker 1:

You know, I teach, I work with adults, I work with children, I work with elderly. I work with a lot of different individuals. Often I tell them you need to change your zone. You're trying to grow in the wrong sector. You need to get into a different demographic. You need to change where you're living. Stop going to the same place every day and expecting change in results. You've got to walk away. You've got to find a new life and you've got to be born again each and every way.

Speaker 1:

The whole person is expecting growth when it has somewhere to grow to. You put too many plants together in the same cup, they've got nowhere to go. Nobody's going to be happy, they're never going to experience growth, they're not going to find that salvation, the redemption that they want, that they need, and there isn't going to be anything to advance in. So think about your own personal life and you know me, excuse me. Right? You're saying excuse me, am I doing something wrong? Me right? You're saying excuse me, am I doing something wrong? Can we just start like loving god and christ together? Think about what I'm saying. If you don't have privacy and you're put together with everybody else and in no way, shape or form, are you capable of breathing, the whole person can't advance and it can't grow because it's somebody else's personal preference, then you ain't got it.

Speaker 1:

Change your demographic, lace up your boots, grab the lunch pail, walk away, walk right out the door. If you have to say goodbye, turn the other cheek, repent, rebuke, confess and don't be afraid to anticipate growth. It's how we can advance within scripture, within the works, within the walks, within flushing out our innovation that we're receiving. I call it innovation because I'm born again and it's enlightening. Earlier I heard a word I think it was something to do with technology, I can't even remember Sinners to repentance, repentance to sinners.

Speaker 1:

It doesn't matter if you're going up or if you're going down. The seed is still going to grow Because at the end you're still going to find out that when it gets harvested, that seed comes back to your Savior, it comes back to your Redeemer. Here it comes, it's being poured on you. So, repentance to sin or sin to repent, it doesn't matter. You will be saved, you will be redeemed, you will be forgiven. Fetch it out, work your way through it and sort it out. Some of us, we need to open up the closet. It's like you know, I haven't worn this in a couple of years. I'm going to take it, I'm going to donate it. Take it up to like St Vincent's or something. Put some good use to it.

Speaker 1:

Activity of the evil is present. Activity of the evil is present. I mean, it's working on you. You can't even think about it. Body, soul, temple, the possession, the possession, thought, word, deed, heart, soul, mind, body, the temple, the synagogue, the focal point where he lies within you. Activity of the evil is present. Internal, external works. Plant the seed, watch it grow.

Speaker 1:

They didn't tell you that it was going to grow, fruit of labors. They didn't tell you that it was going to be a bountiful harvest. They told you, when you plant that seed, whether it is conception of inequity or conception of bountiful harvest, prosperity, perseverance, joy, salvation, forgiveness, that's on you. So the body neglects inequity. Is that true? The body, the heart, soul, mind, the thought, word and deed, the soul, the temple, reject, rejects iniquity. And what does that mean? You can plant that seed, but the body will reject it too. And why? Because of the substance, because of glorification, because of salvation. He lies within you. The more you push for iniquity, the worse things are going to be.

Speaker 1:

You ever tried to fight for something that you know you can't have and it's not supposed to be? And I know that's enticing and intriguing mindset. I'm not allowed to have eternity. They said it's possible, but I'm never going to get there. You ever tried to fight for something that you can't have? I tell you it's more exciting than you could ever imagine. Heaven is for real, and so is the forgiveness that you can receive from your creator.

Speaker 1:

Rejects abnormal growth, alright. Reject from your creator. Rejects abnormal growth, all right. Rejects abnormal growth. What am I asking for here? Your body will reject abnormal growth. It might start growing on you. You might start being capable of putting light with on it. You'll be derived, you'll be turned, you'll be upside down. You might even take it further than you wish.

Speaker 1:

I can't believe. I was stuck in that sorrow and that agony and I let that get the best of me and consume me for all this lime. But the body, the heart, soul, mind, the temple, the focal point, the synagogue, yes, jesus Christ himself, he will definitely reject the abnormal growth within you and you're not going to have anything to worry about. So it's a turn of events, if you would, that the seeds and the soils need to be one and one. They need to be fleshed out and they need to be advanced. I don't and shall not in any way, shape or form, fail to reject my belonging of possession, because my possession of belonging is no more than I am receiving him. The intellectual conception of seed has been planted. I manifest with it, I shine light with on the subject and I continue to grow in every way. Lord, forgive me, thank you for.
