Be Loyal to those who are Loyal to you. Support those who Support You. Assist those who have Assisted you. Sometimes people will connect with you just because you have the look. You may not even have any substance, but because of the position youre in people will want to connect with you. By the same token, people will choose NOT to connect with you because you dont have the look, when in reality, you have all the substance in the world. When people know that God is taking you somewhere, they have a tendency to want to connect with you. (Remember, wolves STILL dress in sheeps clothing). As God elevates you, remember the people who were in the pit with you before your elevation took place. When you know the times when you should, could and would look back, and dont, you wont last very long in your place of elevation. Your attitude is wrong. You cant forget where you came from when God actually created you to be a bridge from there to where you are now. If you are mentally, physically, financially and spiritually stable, consider yourself fortunate. Consider yourself fortunate just to be in your right mind. Many people are not there. Even with that stability you have, you have to remember that you cant rescue everyone who is not stable or who needs to be rescued. We must be discerning with what you do and to whom you do it. Many times theyll end up taking you under with them. God will show you what to do, when to do it and to whom to do it. If you havent been equipped by God to handle certain situations, then the best thing for you to do is to stay on the sidelines and pray. We all need to have an Elisha in our lives to help us keep balanced and stay on the right track. We all need someone who is more spiritual than we are to help show us the way. They are our first line of defense. That person is needed for those times when youre not certain what youre hearing from God, when you need confirmation of what youve heard from God, when youre hearing too much (noise and distraction) aside from God, or when youre not hearing from God at all. We have to be very careful who we put in that position. Even the devil can appear as an angel of light. Were the ones who put him in a red suit and gave him a tail. Your support, money & words cannot go out to just anyone. Ask God for discernment on what you should do, when you should do it and to whom you should do it. Matthew 13:3. The Parable of the Sower In this parable, everything was constant (the sewer, the bag of seed, the hand that was sewing the seed, etc.). The only variable was where the seed landed. The moral: you cant sew your seeds just anywhere and expect them to produce. The fruitfulness of your seeds depends upon the ground where you sew it. The same seed can be sewn if different types of ground and the results will be different. The same applies to Gods Word. The same message can be delivered to all. Some will receive it and some with reject it. The harvest will depends on they type of ground that the seeds are sewn in. The result of hearing Gods word (seeds) depends on the receiver. WAYSIDE - this is when someone hears the word, but the devil comes and steals it (plucks it up) before it can be truly received. The hearer got confused by the word, so it never has a chance to really manifest itself. This person also quenches the spirit. When God begins to do a work in them, they shut down in their minds, so the word never takes root. The word falls -on them, but they dont want to understand it, the dont want to receive it or their heart wasnt ready to receive it. You have to receive in order to reap a harvest. The enemy is always looking for a kink in your armour, so when you in Gods presence, get all that you need from Him. Get all your healing from Him so that youre fully well and theres less chance for the enemy to come back in and destroy what God has done. STONY - Barren ground, hard and hard to penetrate. With this person, theyre so hard that the word cant get to them at all. They have too many situations going on in their lives for the word to penetrate their minds and spirits. The word isnt getting through because it has fallen in a barren area. There is not enough ground to cover and protect the seed that has been sewn. There is no depth to the soil, so there cant be any true roots. Everything that God has given them has remained exposed to the enemy. The word must get deep enough to take root in order to produce. This person will not grow because they have no roots. The seed (word) does them no good because the soil of their souls is all wrong. We have to cover and protect our seeds, so that our seeds can cover and protect us. You dont need roots on the mountaintop, but you do need them when youre in the valley. Where you are now has a direct relation to what youve done and how youve operated in the past. Whatever you have sewn, that will you also reap. There is also a thing called FAVOR what will have you reaping harvests where you havent even sewn seeds. You must be in a close enough relationship with God that you know WHY youre where you are. THORNY - Some of the sewers seeds fell among the thorns and were choked out. Just like the man who was traveling and fell among thieves. It this persons life, the word is panted, blooms & blossoms, but it got choked out and died. The stuff of life can cause us to choke up just when God is about to do a work in our lives. We get the word and are spiritually lifted. The word is close to manifesting itself and we choke up. Were not in the God is about to season. God is already doing it, right now. He has something for those who will only believe and receive. GOOD GROUND - Blessings need a place to land. God has already sent them forth, we just need to be in position to receive them. We must be the good ground that God is looking for. God is able to do just what Hes said, but hes looking for good ground. We must receive the treasures of the Word. The most valuable thing that we will ever possess is GODS WORD. If your ground (heart) is not fertile & ready for Gods word to blossom and bloom it it, then he will find other ground that is ready and let it blossom there.
