Mark 4:14-20, “The sower soweth the phrase. [15] And these are they by the way in which facet, the place the phrase is sown; however once they have heard, Devil cometh instantly, and taketh away the phrase that was sown of their hearts. [16] And these are they likewise that are sown on stony floor; who, once they have heard the phrase, instantly obtain it with gladness; [17] And haven’t any root in themselves, and so endure however for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the phrase’s sake, instantly they’re offended. [18] And these are they that are sown amongst thorns; comparable to hear the phrase, [19] And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of different issues getting into in, choke the phrase, and it becometh unfruitful. [20] And these are they that are sown on good floor; comparable to hear the phrase, and obtain it, and produce forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and a few an hundred.”
Have you ever ever questioned why the phrase of God doesn’t produce the identical end in each hearer? It’s as a result of it will depend on the state of the guts of the hearer. As we are able to see, the standard of seed is identical however the kind of soil determines how nicely the seed performs. The issue isn’t with the sower; the issue isn’t with the seed; it’s with the soil. This explains why life’s end result differs between totally different people who find themselves uncovered to church or the Phrase of God. Allow us to look at the 4 sorts of soil right here:
a) Wayside. This refers to a poisonous atmosphere. This kind of individual is uncovered and weak as a result of she or he is surrounded with ungodly associates and isn’t abiding in church.
b) Stony floor. These kind of individuals are within the church however refuse to attend any discipleship coaching program. They resist studying. They develop no root. Because of this, they continue to be shallow and may simply be deceived. They don’t obey the Phrase of God. These kind of individuals may be rebellious. Their spirit isn’t being fed in order that they lapse into their outdated methods.
c) Amongst thorns. Poisonous beliefs and feelings. This kind of individual is choked with the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, the pursuit of riches, greed, lust, and so on. A soul that’s crowded with issues can’t concentrate on Jesus. It would fall away.
d) The great floor. This the ready coronary heart, the keen coronary heart. The prepared coronary heart. They’re hungry for the Phrase of God and they’re ready to follow what they be taught. The Phrase of God grows, prospers and produces ends in their lives.
The primary three may be changed into good floor. We simply should be deliberate about it particularly now that we all know.
That’s the reason we have to pray for the hearts of the individuals we minister to earlier than ministering to them. The soil needs to be ready to obtain the seed. The seed needs to be protected by way of prayer from being snatched by the satan. He’s afraid of the seed. He has a phobia for the seed. Ever since God informed him that he can be destroyed by the seed of the lady, he panics each time he hears the Phrase seed. He assaults the seed and the sower. He is aware of what can occur when the seed is allowed to thrive. As a result of, any seed allowed to thrive will multiply his headache.
The seed is the satan’s nightmare!

If they don’t seem to be paying consideration they can’t be impacted. Then the preaching will likely be in useless and your efforts will likely be wasted.
Ezra 7:10, “For Ezra had ready his coronary heart to hunt the legislation of the LORD, and to do it, and to show in Israel statutes and judgments.” From the phrase go, Ezra made up his thoughts to check the Phrase of God with a view to doing no matter it says.
