God’s Kingdom a seed P5

God’s Kingdom a seed P5

We've look at the productive sea

Know we are going to look at the hearing seed

Hearing the seed

Last time

Mark 4:21-25

The lamp that was made to shine

We are the lamps know according to Matthew 5:14-15 (read it)

Matthew 13:19 - having understanding is one of the ways of stopping the enemy from taking your seed

Know Mark is going to give us another way

Mark 4:23

In Mark ch 4 we’ve got two kingdom at work

The productive kingdom

And the unproductive

Pop quize

which kingdom dose God want you in ?

what kingdom dose the Enemy want you in ?

What is the difference between them - Mark 4:23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

like Jesus My sheep her my voice and what and what they follower

John 10:27

look what Jesus said right after he gave the parable

of the two kings Mark 4:9

Then Mark mentions it her right after the lamps the gives light

Jesus gave his message to all

(why put in a parable)

1) Jesus heals a men on a bed and say your sin are Forgiven (mark 2:7-9 )

This got the Pharisees really upset and and became angry at him and took him to top it off hell

eats with sinner

2) from that he goes into the synagogue and heals a men and it starts all over

look what they said in Mark 3:1-5 (Make mention of v.6)

(again they wanted to kill him) They wanted to kill him for healing

but look what Jesus did (v.7)

In the mised of this some people wanted to hear Jesus followed him

So how was he going to teach them without the Pharisees

hearing it or understanding it

Mark 4:10-12

He put it in away that only they will her

Mark 4:23

If anyone has ears to hear” is a call for discernment on the part of the hearer to understand Jesus’ secret

Jesus then exhorts the hearer to consider carefully

what you hear

That the other Point Mark makes

Mark 4:24

Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear.

With the same measure you use

it will be measured to you

and to you who hear, more will be given.

talking about what you do with the word - to you who hear, more will be given.

this whole chapter is on God’s word

where it Goes - in our hearts not brain v.15

what we do with it - plan it (sow it)

How we get to understand it - The holy spirits help John 14:26

what |God wants us to do with - v.20 Hear - accept - bear

Rev 2:7-11-17 - 29

Rev 3:6-13-22

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

The longest speech in Mark is ch7:6-16 but let’s look how he end that speech v.16

If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”

this a quote from

Isaiah 29:13

Let’s look at what Isaiah was saying about this

Isaiah 29:1

How he start it Woe

It’s spelt WOE - but I think of Whoa

And it’s

-: like a horse command to stop

-: or used in Amusement or surprise

Side note - Ariel means Lion of Judah

It’s a name they gave them self it didn’t come from God

Ch 28 The The Jews ere intoxicated with alcohol - and this caused them not to be able to see

Look at v.9 (that’s Isaiah 29:9

Isaiah is saying that the voice is clouded and they are spiritually dumb they have a spiritual hangover

Look at V.11 this is where it fits into Mark 4:22

This is what God is saying to them

V.12 illiterate - unable to read

Know v.13 our verse

V.18 Notice the words shall hear

Not could

Maybe

Perhaps

But shall hear

Let me sum up all this

Mark 4:23

V.23 it’s not a request put more of an order

1) Let him hear

Because God wants to speak directly to you and he speaks in a still small voice

( 1 Kings 19:12) your heart can hear

There are two kingdoms operating

-: The productive kingdom

-: And the unproductive

And what sets them apart

Those who hear v.23

V.24 Take heed

“And to you who hear, more will be given”
