SEEDS-WHAT KIND ARE YOU ? AND WHAT ARE YOU SOWING ? Hosea 4:6 NASB[6] My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. Revelation 20:11-12 NASB[11] Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. [12] And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. WHO IS ON THAT THRONE? John 5:22 NASB[22] For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son, Daniel 7:9-10 NASB[9] "I kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took His seat; His vesture was like white snow And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames, Its wheels were a burning fire. [10] "A river of fire was flowing And coming out from before Him; Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; The court sat, And the books were opened. PREACHING ALL THE WORD-CORRECTLY 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 NASB[11] For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, [13] each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work. [14] If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. [15] If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. Seeds- everything begins as a seed Everything you know is a seed Your thoughts – the way you think, where did it start, from your father-earthly, mom? Your words-who do you talk like ? Your actions-who do you act like? What you see –what are you looking at ? TV, PHONE, MUSIC? PEOPLE ? What you hear- what are you listening to ? who are you listening to? Say it in another way-where do you spend your time ? time is love- Everything is and begins as a seed One thing leads to another- And seeds grow- Into their likeness, the books in REV 20:12 HAS RECORDED( UNBELIEVER) What you see, hear or think can become a seed-that can grow into something – THOUGHTS GROW INTO WORDS, WORDS GROW INTO ACTIONS, ACTIONS GROW INTO HABITS, HABITS GROW INTO CHARACTER, CHARACTER DETERMINES YOUR DESTINY-YOU EITHER HAVE GROWN INTO JESUS OR THE ENEMY-PSEUDO HOW MANY BOOKS ? REV 20:12 EVERYONE WILL MEET GOD- I BELIEVE THREE THOUGHTS Luke 8:17 NASB[17] For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light. Romans 2:16 NASB[16] on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of Smen through Christ Jesus. WORDS Matthew 12:37 NASB[37] For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." DEEDS OR ACTIONS Matthew 16:27 NASB[27] For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will THEN REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS. Scriptures talking about seeds, trees, man blind touched twice, vine and the branch- abide,  ALL HAVE FALLEN SHORT Romans 3:23 NASB[23] for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, IT IS BR GRACE THROUGH FAITH Matthew 13:3-30 NASB[3] And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, "Behold, the sower went out to sow; [4] and as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up. [5] Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil. [6] But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. [7] Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out. [8] And others fell on the good soil and yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty. [9] He who has ears, let him hear." [10] And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?" [11] Jesus answered them, "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. [12] For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him. [13] Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. [14] In their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, 'You WILL KEEP ON HEARING, BUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND; YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE; [15] For THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL,WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES, OTHERWISE THEY WOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES, HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN, AND I WOULD HEAL THEM.' [16] But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. [17] For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. Explanation [18] "Hear then the parable of the sower. [19] When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road. Matthew 23:27-28 NASB[27] "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. [28] So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. [20] The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; [21] yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away. 1 John 2:19 NASB[19] They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us. [22] And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. James 4:4 NASB[4] You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. [23] And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty." John 15:8-9 NASB[8] My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. [9] Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. [24] Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. [25] But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away. [26] But when the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the tares became evident also. [27] The slaves of the landowner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?' [28] And he said to them, 'An enemy has done this!' The slaves said to him, 'Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?' [29] But he said, 'No; for while you are gathering up the tares, you may uproot the wheat with them. [30] Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn."'" Luke 6:37-38 NASB[37] "Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned. [38] Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure-pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return." Luke 17:34-37 NASB[34] I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left. [35] There will be two women grinding at the same place; one will be taken and the other will be left. [36] [Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left."] [37] And answering they *said to Him, "Where, Lord?" And He said to them, "Where the body is, there also the vultures will be gathered." John 3:16-19 NASB[16] "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. [18] He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [19] This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.
