Good Seed / Bad Seed > And a sower went forth to sow. > In Luke chapter eight is one of the places you can find the parable of the Sower. Jesus gave us the example of going forth with the Word of God and scattering it everywhere. He tells the story of a farmer scattering his seed and it is landing on all kinds of ground. If this man was truly a farmer, then he knew what would happen to seed not falling on good ground. As the parable explains, only the seed landing on good ground actually brought forth the “reward” of what was in them.

From this detail we can understand good seed needs good ground in order to manifest its product. We know it was good seed because Jesus later explains the sower was a picture of someone scattering/ witnessing/ speaking/ teaching the Word of God. Jesus was sowing the seed of the Kingdom of God, but even though the seed was good, bad ground killed it, and would also eventually kill Him and many of His disciples.

I shared with our men’s group this last week, that the opposite is also true. Bad seed needs bad ground to bring forth the harvest within it. Bad seed does not produce reward, but produces a curse. And if so, then it would also be true that when bad seed lands on good ground, it fails to produce, it dies. The bad seed is choked out by God’s good Word in us. Truth! Wisdom! etc.

Now I live in America where there is a lot of good seed and bad flying around. There is also plenty of both good and bad ground for it to land on. Good seed is finding good ground, but I’m afraid too much bad seed is finding too much bad ground. As it has been said, we are in a battle for the soul of America! No truer words could be said. This civil war, and it is a civil war, is for no less than the very soul of our country, and our children!

And even though there have been some bullets flying, as of yet, this civil war is not being fought with bullets. At least not yet. But even as Samson fought against the people who worshipped an idol god named Dagon, a sea god, a creature of the deep; this hydra/leviathan has gotten its tentacles so deeply entrenched into the powers that be in our country, that we have no idea how dark this is going to get.

I believe we are still in the “push-back”. Samson is still pushing against those pillars, but if the Church does not become the Samuel Church, tapped into the true power of God, then our window of opportunity will close when Samson dies.

How do we become this Samuel Church, and what should this Samuel Church be doing? Well, for one thing, a sower went forth to sow. We’re going to be looking more into this soon, but I don’t want to give too much away before I share this with my men, and that goes especially for you, Mr. Jim! (LOL. And thanks for reading, Jim.) But I will share something we’ve already shared.

Who are the people on the other side of this civil war? And what is the seed they are sowing? I have my own personal nickname for them: “Lennonites”. Because it seems to me what they want is spoken very plainly in the John Lennon song: “Imagine”. The seeds in this song have been sown in so many ways, and those who believe it don’t seem to realize the “Total Control” a world like that would require, like a 666.

Rather than beginning the song with the words: Imagine there’s no heaven. It’s easy if you try. The first line should be: Imagine there’s no freedom. It will really make you cry! (That would be a more true statement.) But read the words of this song and see what I mean. And don’t worry, if you’re good ground these bad seeds will only die in you.

IMAGINE : Imagine there’s no heaven. It’s easy if you try. No hell below us. Above us, only sky. Imagine all the people living for today. / Imagine there’s no countries. It isn’t hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for. And no religion too. Imagine all the people living life in peace. (Chorus) > You may say I’m a dreamer. But I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us. And the world will be as one. / Imagine no possessions. I wonder if you can. No need for greed or hunger. A brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people sharing all the world. / (Chorus again.)

That dream is so full of holes if it were a yellow submarine it would sink like a boulder! Never to rise again. Nothing to live or die for? What kind of life is that? What if someone wants your wife or child? Or someone wants the house you worked so hard for? Or steals the book you wrote. We will never know such a time until heaven, and you just wished it away! Human nature will always be flawed, no utopia, and the elite know this, therefore, the only real hope in their eyes is Total Control. And we now have the technology to make that possible. All they need now are the people in the right places of power to force it to happen.

I’m sorry if you’re a Lennonite and I just spoke truth all over your dream. Reality is a real thing. That’s why it is called, Real-ity. (Pretty cool, huh.) Jesus, the sower went forth to sow, and He sowed seeds of truth. And we killed Him for that. So God raised Him from the dead and made Him head over EVERYTHING. And John Lennon himself, nothing to kill or die for? I’m no Lennon expert, believe me, but would boundaries of countries made any difference to his killer? And he died so young.

The point is, we need the Word of God going forth with the anointing of a Samuel! Are we ready to get serious about seeking first the Kingdom of God and overthrowing Dagon? There is no earthly utopia coming, only Total Control! The Matrix! Or the Borg! A hivemind collective with a Queen Bee! But if God’s people get the fire of God again, who knows how long we might push this evil thing off for? It could be many years. It is what God expects us to do. Can we do no less?

It will only happen if this world loses its fascination to us. While King Saul still sat on the throne of Israel, those with eyes to see were making the sacrifices to be with David. It was a price to pay. Who of the Church will stay with King Saul, and his pride and wealth? Who will make great sacrifices to be with David? Apostle Paul said there would be a great falling away. Not many will say no to the luxuries of what is to come, to be in a cave with David. But for those who do, great will be their reward in heaven! Amen.

All Sailboats go to Heaven. So are those who are born of the Spirit.
