Praise With Understanding Part 2
Reverend Shepherd, it's all yours.
Fighting Saints of god, good morning.
The day that the Lord has made and we shall rejoice and be glad in it. I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house. David said I've never be a gay people at the door at the house of God. So right now, I just want to thank God for this blessing. I'm humbled by the fact that pasta ta doesn't mind bringing me back in time to time his crazy woman that he's known for quite. So I am just blessed and to hear my sisters on the line Yvette, and an end of Mariah. God bless you with anybody else is on this line. I am slow myself down, because the Lord has just been all over me ever since he. And I have been discussing this, and I asked God, to calm me down, because he was dropping so much on me, a man in the preparation mode, you know, there's a scripture that says too much is given much is required.
That happens, things happen. As I think that's one of the reasons why the Lord led me to do a praise with understanding part 2 because there's so many things about the word of God in the kingdom of God, and have been misunderstood or just simply missed. So, I'm asking you to pray with me. Pray for me as I bring this word in, and I talked to Pastor this morning and one of the reasons why I am slowing down because I was and they say, freaking out, dad was dropping so much of me. I knew that it could not be delivered at all at once today. So he has graciously allowed me to come back in a couple of two more times. Maybe just one is all it's going to take
Typed up. I need that. I had to get a Commerce. Because this is a very important message that God has given me for such a time as this. So I'll pray and Heavenly. Father. We thank you for another day that you was given us. Not because we've been so good at that. We've done things so well, but because of your grace and your mercy, your love and kindness and there's my sister that says your long-suffering Lord. I know we people don't work with you designed it to be fit into your plan for the kingdom of God. Oh God.
Intention and the power that you have given those words and that they'd be delivered through me as a vessel to bring lights to bring up the static to the situation. She's in right now. Like right now, for those who have ears to hear and see what the word of God is in me for this day. The Lord open up on Vine, open up the Deep part of us that you might steal us with your wisdom. But do you want to be standing and your knowledge that we might become meat for the master service with words of life that give life to others. Faking our Lord. God deliver me from me to Deliver Us from us and you feel up. Holy Spirit. You are welcome to occupy in Jesus name.
Praise God. The talking about praise with understanding, you know, we use that word phrase. A lot to do really understand. What praising God is. Our duty praise God. With understanding with love me. I don't quite remember what it was from Mark, chapter 4. And the verses that I would like to rest in right now, are from, There's nine of chapter 4-2 verse. Well, actually the first 11, and now stop and pick back up at 12 and agreed to Leslie in the King James Bible, and he said unto them. Eva has ears to hear, Let Him hear. This is a small structure right here. But this is powerful because we who have ears, we need to hear what the spirit of God is say, and God said, let them hear that let is a permission and allow it on the other hand of that, same scripture. We have the ability and the capacity to either let him or not let him So keep that in mind as we go into this lesson in the next couple of weeks. He that has an ear to hear Let Him hear and verse 10 says. And when he was alone, they that were about him and he said the expository scriptures that there was a possibility of 40 or 50. See, all I remembered from my growing up is where one or two or three are gathered in his name. They are here being the best while he was at the age of 64. And the 12 said when he was alone with the 12-day asked of him, the parable, there's 11 chairs and he said unto them unto you, it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but unto them that are without or outside of the kingdom of God. All these things are done in parables are done in Parables. And and, and that next verse the 12 verse. This is so pivotal in our understanding. And I'm going to take my time cuz I want us to get this. We've been dealing with this protect particular passage of scripture for many years and especially in the Matthew chapter 12 and 13 verse. But here in Mark, it's a whole different death of understand it. He says, he and verse 12, That see they may see and not proceed.
And here it, they may hear and not understand less than any time. They should be converted and their sin should be forgiven them and I'm staying long. I am I had a problem with this right here. This is typical because you're speaking and you're saying and you're demonstrating by example and yet you said I have to speak in Parables because those that are around in the crowds are in the places where you are. God that seeing they may see. And not see hearing they may hear but not here and perceiving that they won't understand. And so I had to really get serious. I understand that this and I went to one of my it's possible. I'm going to go to Amplified first in the Amplified Bible those the same verse First 12 is in order that they may indeed look and look, but not see, and perceive and met here and here, but not grass and comprehend, lest. Haply. They should turn again at it. Then their willful rejection of the truth, should be forgiven them. The word was sent to heal us and Deliver us from our destruction. Is that Living Word? He was the word before he hit Earth. In the Bible tells us over in Timothy or I think it was 10 p.m. I'll have to go back and check myself, but the word was sitting at the right hand of God. The word was with God and the Word was God is towed in John. But here we get in understanding that the word Jesus Christ. Before he was Jesus Christ, change out and descended into the Earth. Well as the seed of God, as the word of God. The Earth and he was coming to an earth accepting him, because they have not heard it in this way. So, Jesus comes down, you know, sometimes Jesus has to come and just demonstrate by example, which is what he did here. And when he came down to talk in Parables and the apostles and the disciples to hear what he has to say. Now, here's the important part of why it is so important many gathered around him. But they didn't hear him. Distractions things on their own intentions and motives were getting in the way of really hearing what he had to say. So anyone that really wanted to hear anyone who wanted to really see and perceive they have to want to, they had to desire in their part. This is the place of understanding. The heart is the place where the seed is the appositive or not. Hold on to that. The sea is the word of God, deposited, into the Earth, by the word of God, the Living Word and then the word of God is speaking the word. And there were people around and mini there, but they didn't receive as he spoke in Parables and the reason he Spoke in Parables because it required a heart Desiring to hear a heart Desiring to receive a heart desire to put away all the noise to put away all the stuff. That's so easily beset him. And to sort of, as we say, be at the feet of Jesus, with an open heart, with an open mind with a open belly. If you will receive what the Lord, the say in the Amplified version, it says here and as soon as he was alone, those who were around him and The Twelve Apostles began to ask him about The Parables and he said to them, To you. Has been entrusted. Hear me now to you.
It has been entrusted, The Mystery of the kingdom of God, that is the secret councils of God, which are hidden from the rest of those on the outside of this circle. Everything is a parable. And there's 12 in the Amplified, in order that they may indeed look and look, but not see, and perceive and may hear, but not grass and comprehend. Let's happily. They should turn again, and it are willful. Rejection that is the state fair. Willful rejection of receiving it their willful rejection of believing it because those things are denying the spirit of God or denying the Holy Spirit. The Bible tells us that there is a sin that we will not be given up in. That is blaspheming the holy spirit are rejecting the holy spirit. So when the word of God was given and they in their hearts rejected that they were then set up to go to the place of damnation because of relief to accept and reject. And so there's a reason why many of these things happening to us or the seat because the enemy does not want us to get the word of God and use it. He does not want us to get the word of God and occupy. My energy does not want us to The word of the god and be free to be delivered and set free, and to your young nice and be in the love of God. The enemy comes to rob, steal and destroy going back to the versus beginning. As I said, the background scriptures are March 4th, through 8th, and I'll read them in the King James. The actual come back to one because Jesus has he got on this Earth. He was teaching in word. He taught, by example, then he taught them. Many things by Parables and said to them in his teaching a man and when you look at the first one it says that he began again. So Jesus was always walking around if not by doing the miracles of god or by just being who he was but by example and he began to teach by the Sea Side and there was gathered unto him a great multitude so that he entered into a ship as set in the sea and the whole multitude was by the Sea. This is verse one and I have to get this because I discovered something TA in my preparation. Jesus was always walking around being Jesus. He was 100%. And 100%, man. He was given the power and authority over everything in heaven is inert. So, when he was being wrong by these crimes, whenever he have to get in the situation, this particular moment, this is probably the greatest teaching that we had something Jesus said that he went to a boat and and I'm saying okay God you got Jesus going to a boat. He's getting away from the crowd. But he's also surrounded by a multitude. In the end. The Revelation came through. This research was the fact that Jesus being god with these multitude. If anybody got to be at the poop from the people for a while, cuz he have to deliver the message that they needed to hear, so that they can become a part of the Kingdom. All these people were not a part of the Kingdom wengie. He had to call the twelve and started teaching them by example. So he where he was teaching, but he had an adverse to the second and he taught them many things by Parables and set it to them first street. Parking behold parking, and behold there without a sore to self. When God Says in his word parking. And behold he said, stop. Look, listen pets, should grab hold of. This is so important that I need to grab every bit of your intention. And this is window got me and then got me started separating themselves. Cuz God doesn't do it. The reason I say this we go back to Psalms 1. Psalms 1 says blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly. North stands in the way of Sinners. Nice tits in the seat of the scornful, but he show the law of, and in his law, doth, he meditate day and night, amen. So, The Godly Man doesn't walk around with back by Fighters, walk around with people that slander that spread lies. That is not godly blessed, is the man who walks not in that group of people nor does he stand in the pathway of Sinners? Another words we used to do a whole lot of things. Like, send it the, when we became born. Again, we became Saints and we still try to keep ourselves and play. So I'm just a sinner saved by grace, know you are safe now. And so you start acting like a state, you start speaking like a steak you start doing. It doesn't mean you've perfected yet. It just means that you start practicing being a state of got a Godly person. Sonar. Does this ungodly sit in the seat of the scornful, but The Godly person Delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law, doth, he meditate day and night. This is not The Ten Commandments. This is the law of the spirit of God. When you grow in the grace of God, there's a new place that he moves you to, you enter into the kingdom, cuz the kingdom of God is not a physical place. It is a place in the heart of the believer where the word of God penetrates and guide your steps through the power of the Holy Spirit. And in this place you never take day and night, you wake up with God, on your mom. You have lunch and breakfast and dinner with God on your mind, you thank him for each day because in that meditation, God is dropping and deposited into. Amen. Thank you, Lord. When the Bible tells us that we are wonderfully and fearfully made by God. Do you not know there's a hole inside of you? Inside of you, there's a little bit of Faith inside, but there is a hole inside of you that can only be still. You can try every place else from anything else, but it is made, primarily for the Lord, God Almighty. And what this place is, it is called the deep deep in the Bible, says, calls to deep, the Deep of God calls for the depths of man, and the depths of man is where you received it, but, she's afraid, you put anything else in there. There's no room for the deaths of God. This is now leading me into where I'm taking us in this reading about the story of the sea. Remember the sort of the sea is the word of God and God, Jesus Christ himself is the sower and the seed is the word. And so then it says here, Parking behind. So you're riding with is really important that we harken and we hold and we behold and we grabbed hold up and don't let this go. And it came to pass as he sold God. So, Jesus, sold as the word sold, some fell by the wayside, what felt the seed of the word. The word it fell by the side of the road and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. Are you seeing the picture? These people are coming and they're gathering around Jesus, but they're sitting in doubt or unbelief and rejection of what they're looking at. So they can't see, they can't to see. They came here. They can't understand because of distraction. Not Erie, not accepting. When we reject things a guy just because we can't know what Jesus himself told Thomas Affair. And then he said blessing to you, because you believe how's your C? But blessed are those, who believe and have not see. So it's important for us to start walking in the spirit, to see the spiritual attributes, and the spiritual character, and the spiritual guidelines for the believer. A man. So, you understand where I'm coming from, when we come to hear the word of God, we should come openly to receive of this word because it is part of the Divine Design for us to be filled up with the knowledge of the kingdom of God. And to move by the word of God, through the grace of God, through faith in God's faith is important. To the hearing over there. A Roman says, how can they believe in whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without a preacher? And how can they preach? Unless they've been sent his seed into the Earth, which was Jesus, who was the word to plant this knowledge of the kingdom of God? So that those who here would have an ear to hear those who have eyes to see to see how ever buy sell, will you will reject it or accept it. So we're seeing it happening right here in the scripture and it came to pass that she stole something by the wayside and the fowls of the air came and divided up and some fell on Stony ground where it has not much and immediately it sprang up because it had no death of the earth. Somebody that's part of Man member. We were formed out of the ground. The weed St. A man, but when God fills us up, when God opens up our minds and hearts to receive the Holy Spirit, which is the moisture that keeps us from being dusty but Converse and it changes us, but we have to have a heart to receive and that receiving these except so we're seeing now the word has been dropped but it's not landing on the right type of ground for it to fill up that person with the knowledge of the kingdom of though, the kingdom of God has been brought with their not hearing it. They're not receiving it because of their Willful rejection are willful. A rebellion, are willful unbelief, not to accept it and then it says, because they had no death. Okay, first success, but when the sun was up, it was storage and be pause. It had no root is withering away. And other words that word was not kidding. The hearts. It was just falling out there and nobody was really trying to pick it up, eat it digested. The truth. The word is our food is to bread of life. We need to hear the word. So when we're hearing creatures and teachers, praise God, it's a gospel of the word and it comes in all forms, but it's the mystery of the Kingdom. The kingdom of God requires that man shall not live by bread alone. But by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. This is the Mouth of God. This is the word of God and we don't survive just like eating Isabel food. We have to have that spiritual food. And so, we see here, this greatest, Parable, all, because if you understand this Parable, Jesus said, you will understand it all cuz he asked the disciples when they ask how can you not know this Parable you and not expect to know all the other ones cuz everything is predicated on this. Okay, and some fell upon thorns and the Thorns grew up and choked it. And yielded no fruit and other fellow on good ground. And did you shoot that? Sprang up and increase and brought forth some 30, some 60, and so now, we're getting to see the multiplicity of effect of the word of God that has been received and falls on good ground when the word of God falls on good ground. It means that your heart has been open up to receive, even greater things of God, but when you let your logical Minds, try to come in and disciple things rather than the holy spirit being the great teacher, that he is the great. I just Cerner of all things. You block your own Blessing by, not receiving the word of God. And that's the beauty of the word of God. Even if you don't understand it, it doesn't make it wrong. It's just because we don't understand. It is not the fact that God doesn't want you to get it. It's your lack of wanting to get it. Because if you something, the Bible has another principle set up, ask seek and knock ask, and it shall be given to you seek, and you shall find knock and the door shall be opened. So, what we're seeing here. The heart of man. Versus The Heart Of God, God desire is that none be lost that everyone come and introduce to the kingdom of God, but there's parameters and one of the first what is believing and receiving? Now, I'm a read on now cuz it's it's I think it's folded into what God wanted me to see, remember where were okay? And what's that hole? Gets filled up Joyce Meyers. Once you, you start letting God still in there, something in you that starts knowing things that you don't even know how, you know it or how you knew it or how it came to be. It is the word of God being stirred up inside of a Believer who is Desiring to come closer to him, but you can't be sitting on the shore watching everybody else and God is depositing this stuff you there's a distraction that come there. Is it represents the fowls of the air? That comes to grab Holt? Yeah, you heard the word but soon as something pops up in your life immediately pulls. But you did have away from you and and and then the part that you left on the ground and didn't take it apart. The next morning. It's scorched and burned because the sun is okay. And then I also when it falls in the thorny Place, meaning that I can't get over the husband, that left me at the wife that left me on. My are people that have turned against me my ground and started. Can you open up my heart to receive anybody? Cuz I hurt so bad. This is what the world has done to us because we had not been rooted and grounded in the word of God. I hope I'm helping somebody say Amen or something. This is the truth, the scripture. This is something that the Lord said it's because this ain't about three points is about the single point of the word of God, penetrating our hearts, that we will be converted. And the thing about that first 12 was They could not be converted with that rebellious, hard-hearted and rejection. Willful Spirit not to do not to see, not to understand. Thank you that seeing they may see. And not to see another words. I see Jesus. I see the word. I see the Son of God, but I ain't, I ain't I'm quite. I ain't like dealing with this. I got to see more, but what more do you need to see the open up your heart? And then he will be bill because this scripture is about Revelation that only come to the Holy Spirit. You understand what I'm saying, Revelation. Well, here's the thing. You can only trust that if your heart is open to reach Seymour and expand or you can't stop and stay where you are and expect to get the more of God. You have to continually open up your heart and have to continually be intimate with the word of God. You have to continually eat this word drink. This word digest, this work and to this work. And then the Inner Man conversion starts the transformation process through the word of God, which helps us to understand them and deliver them from what their distractions. We have rebellious hard-hearted Nature's that turn against God and keep us from getting the mortgage. We have to realize that even though we don't understand, we've got to trust God. That's what God was all about in the beginning of the Old Testament or the new. All we learned and her was trust. God, trust God. We didn't hear a lot about having faith, but we had trust God's because once you trust Dad, the faithful tub face comes by hearing the word of God. You see how this is working together gravity a interview, right here. See God did not wish his work. Thank you. He sent his word and healed them and deliver them from their destruction. God, never destroys it. Is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people, and of his pasture. We are to enter into his gates with Thanksgiving, and then to his courts with praise and to be thankful unto him be grateful to him. Praise His name. This is how we can start. Praise with understanding, can we understand it? If we didn't make a self? He made us he made us for the praise of his glory and when we start getting this thing will start going around. Praise the Lord more and more but we got to take the blinders off of. We got to take the stop, this noise in our ears and we got to open up our hearts to receive. Because greatest thing in the world that God has given us was his words and his work. Jesus. Is that words that even took on the form of Flesh? That's the word to be made alive and dwell Among Us and experience life as a human being, but also to bring the understanding of spiritual. What not spirituality. The back. But the Deep spiritual walk where deep calls to deep, God is looking for open places in our heart, where he can deposit himself into us. Come on, somebody. Greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world because of what the word of God, it is the design of the kingdom of God. That's the word, worst, the word worse, not our faith works as a result of the word working, but we are not saved by our at worst. We are sick by faith in the word, which came by hearing the word of God. Are y'all riding with me? I have a hallelujah. Praise sometimes, too, because when God starts dropping this stuff, you know, it should have an effect and I'm not saying everybody jumps up and praise but that's what the amen is for. The amen. Is so it is and it is. So that's what a man is about. It's a confirming affirmation of the truth of the word of God, be And doing what it is in him. In the word. We move and have our big ride with me on this. So now, He was, but he was alone, and he brings us to pass. I think we got the vs12. Damn, that seemed, they may see and not receive in here, and they made here and not understand less, and anytime they should be converted, and their sin should be forgiven them. Jesus wants to forgive, but he doesn't want them to get by without understanding. You just not going to get in this Kingdom. Any kind of way. You got to spend some time in the world and the work has to spend time and you have to buy them to you because the kingdom of God is Not meat and drink, but joy in the Holy Ghost, that's that's spiritual thing that we're talking about. Okay. I want to go over here to my expository Bible, that this is really something that explains that because I want us to really start getting the understanding of the Amen, I'm going to verses 9 and 10 and my expository Bible and he said unto them, he who has ears to hear, Let Him hear those who would properly here with a check into the words of Christ pondering them until somehow the truth was eventually reveal. I'ma say that again, those who were travelling here. That means I doubt you are a question. I'm just listening. I'm sitting at your feet. I want these pearls to drop on me. I want to hear what you're saying, because there's something about the way you are. There's something about the way you are. There's something about your countenance. There's something about you. I need to hear this and I need to hear it wholeheartedly, those who would probably hit her with a Chance of these words of Christ, pondering them. Until someone how the truth was. He bitched reveal. That's how the truth comes. The truth, comes by hearing the word of Truth, the word of God. It opens itself up within you. The reason again to buy the Bible uses see in so many ways. It says that seed in the Bible, a seed carries within itself, New Life.
It again, carries within itself, New Life. Paradoxically. It has to be buried, or it can bring for that new life. We have to bury our doubts. Our fears are learnings are false teaching. They have to be buried. So, that, that new life comes. See, the enemy knew that when Jesus was preaching, this sermon on the throne by the seashore, talkin about a source of the sea. He knew that Jesus was talking about the word of God that if the people came to understand the word of the god of God, they be set free. He knew that the word of God brings about new light because it is the sea coming from the sea being implanted into us as Earth as people at an end creation to receive the Sea, and the state could not bring new life unless it was very first and then it would bring forth. See, so as a result, Seeds and those who sold them are often used metaphorically in the Bible. And you'll see if he sees you all around all about, for many times many, many times. It's always you. And, and this planting a seed to get back something, we got to go back to this original thing right here, a seed carries within itself. New life. Amen, and they cannot come forth. Unless the old one is very you have to bury the sea in the earth's and then you have to treat it. You have to nourish, you have to spend time with a seed where you got a seed that has to be planted probably deep within the Earth because if you put a c just on top of the Earth, yeah, it my spring up but it won't last. And that's the thing. This word of God is eternal, it supposed to get us all the way. From from the womb to the tomb. It has the effect of transforming into a new being. We are new creatures, you think twice when we eat and drink the word of God. Amen. So acid carries within himself new life. So just remember, every time you read your Bible, every time you open up the word of God, you're becoming a new creature, you becoming a new person or thing, start passing away, behold all things start coming new because that is the doctrine of the sea. That is the assignment of the sea. That is the design of the seat in the, in the creation called mankind. Man was made for God to glorify him, but it's man, had to contain God's word in order for it to for us to transform into bro. Thank you for It has to be buried deep in the earth Because deep calls to deep. But if part of man that needs God and don't even know if God has the depth to feel you the soil that was not deep enough are the are the are the season was not planning deep enough in the soil it eroded and when awake but waiting God plans himself deep down in your soul. See that's the thing the enemy's coming after. If there is no seed in your soul. Come on somebody. Your soul is left it for anything and everything to come into. A, you know, we used to say that people looking for love in all the wrong places. That's absolutely right. Looking for love in your soul, where, you know that God loves you so much that he gave his his only begotten son to. That's love, there's nothing else or no, one else that has given that kind of love to Well, this is the Everlasting Love. It's a Everlasting word. It's the seed of life is the light of life. It's the path is all of those things. So, we can seek first, the kingdom of God, through the knowledge that we get through the seed planted within our hearts. The word of God. How much time I got? Cuz I can continue this, like I said next week cuz I'm taking my time with this. Praise God. So at least I got us to this place. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you. Jesus. God does things so well, that this word of God has to be playing deep within our hearts for us to even gain the understanding because superficially it's not going to work in chapter 4, I'm reading here. There's a break in the action. We have that we have several a Parables back-to-back and this is why the parables are coming in. Because the kingdom of God is like all these Parables where the sea can be staying experience, or nasty and experience MK. And so that's why the Parables came because there's different aspects of our life, but the basic things of these Parables is the very reason Jesus spoke in parables. He spoke in Parables because Sincere Hearts Desire. The sincere milk of the word of God. Are the only one that going to be able to get this. The kingdom of God is not some physical Earthly show, a power rather. It is Christ. Rule in the person's heart. The kingdom of God is Christ, rule in a person's heart. So, we see that in these Parables, which talk about how the kingdom comes about and how it grows. It comes about because the sea is cast out. Jesus came down here as the word as the seeds, and it, please put it out there into the atmosphere and he put it out in the atmosphere that we might receive it. And that's the problems we have today. A lot of people here, but they don't receive it. The see that Jesus explained to his disciples. Is the word that's Paul would later explained in Roman. Faith comes from hearing the message and the message is heard the word of Christ. So how does price come to room in my heart to be cheap in my thoughts and decisions? Number one in my life. Only through God's gospel promises to me, found in the word of God and is understood by the sacrament of communion and I'm going to leave us with that right now. That's a lot. But I promise you this as you hundred and the revelations will come for a man.
