How to Break Free from Mental Media Manipulation on Your Emotions
The Key is to Understand the Principle of the Sower…
Yeshua said that the principle of the sower would help the disciples understand all other parables. This is because the principle of the sower is about seedtime and harvest.
In short, whatever you sow, you will reap; this is true for your time, tasks, thoughts, activities, and finances.
“And He said to them, ‘Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? The sower sows the word.’”—Mark 4:13-14
Mark 4:15
- “‘And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.’”
These are the ones who hear the message, but do not receive it. Their soil is not prepared to accept the seed that is sown. As a result, no fruit can be harvested.
Good news, if you are born-again, you can prepare your soil to receive the seed!
Mark 4:16
- “‘These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness;’”
These are the ones who hear with gladness, but they have hardened hearts, like stones. As a result, the hurts from their past prevents them from accepting the seed long enough to produce a harvest.
Good news, the blood of Jesus has washed away your sins!
Mark 4:17
- “‘and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they stumble.’”
These are the ones the enemy attacks with persecution and mental media manipulation. You will notice that Satan attacks when we are receiving the Word.
Good news, you can resist the enemy, and he must flee!
Mark 4:18-19
- “‘Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.’”
These are the ones who have the world in their mind. They hear the Word, but is not planted deep within their hearts and therefore, the enemy steals it.
Good news, you are given a new heart in Christ!
Mark 4:20
- “‘But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.’”
The seed—God’s Word— only produces after itself. But the soil—your heart—has the responsibility of housing and nourishing the seed. You determine how many seeds will be produced from the good soil.
Good news, if you are born-again, you are grafted into the vine. He is the vinedresser, and you can proclaim, “I will bear much fruit!”
How Does the Parable of the Sower Help You Break Free?
