    INTRODUCTION

    Some years ago, I heard a man teaching on the radio about the Parable of the Sower. He offered a series of tapes to further dig into the subject. I ordered the tapes and they proved to be lifechanging for me. As I have taught on this parable over the years the response has been similar to my own response. Lights go on and people find clarity in their walk with the Lord where before things were foggy.

    How do we grow spiritually? Why and how do Satan and demon forces attack us? Where do trials come from? How do we protect our hearts and become fruitful? What is the foundational parable of the kingdom?

    All these questions and many others were answered for me as I came to understand Jesus' teaching in the Parable of the Sower. I had thought the parable was just about the lost hearing the Gospel. I didn't see the Kingdom principles contained in the teaching. I didn't see that Jesus was giving us the key to understanding the warfare in our lives. I didn't understand that He was showing us how to recognize and overcome the enemy's subtle assaults and bring forth fruit.

    It all began in the Garden of Eden. When God spoke, He released the Kingdom Seed of His Holy Word. It had within it the Divine Potential to empower Adam and Eve to expand the Rule of God to the rest of the world. Let them have dominion.. was both the command and the commission. Satan knew that if Adam and Eve placed themselves under the dominion of the Word, they would lack nothing necessary to accomplish it and thus overrule Satan's kingdom.

    So his approach was, Has God said?

    Getting Adam and Eve to doubt the authority of God's Word would both bring them into disobedience and bring them under Satan's domination. That War is still going on in every human life – believer or unbeliever. When we hear the Word and submit to it, the ability of God released by Him when He spoke becomes available to us. Coming under the authority of God's Word both protects and empowers us. The War is little understood by most believers.

    Our destiny is to win this war.

    Join me as we look into this parable and draw forth some of its riches.

    Mark 4:3-20

    3 "Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow.

    4 And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and
