When the Word is read and because you have heard it many times or you have memorized it or you have been a Christian for a while or in church for a while and choose not to put eyes on the Word, This is the beginning of you allowing the enemy to steal the freshness of the Word from you!

| TYPES OF GROUND 7 THINGS SATAN USES: THE MASTER’S KEYS 1. WAYSIDE Must make Decisions: Be Proactive | 1. This person does not Cherish the Word, they don’t Consider it, don’t understand it, or don’t believe it! (SELF-INFLICTED WOUND)/Despise it! Everyday God is sowing the word, but we decide we don’t want that. | 1. 1 Peter 2:2 2. Matt. 4:4 3. Prov. 4:20-27 (22) 4. Matt. 6:33 |
| 2. STONY Must be Intense/Intentional | 2. This person does not Meditate the Word/Practice it daily (giving)/Undeveloped! (SELF-INFLICTED WOUND) | 1. Joshua 1:8 2. 2 Tim. 2:15 3. Acts 17:11 Bonus: Eph.3:17 |
| These two these can cause one to be Offended: trapped to sin, backslidden! | 3. Affliction-(pressure) when satan uses things come to destroy you. | Joy/Faith/Patience – James 1:1-4 2 Cor. 4:13,14/1 Cor, 10:13 |
| If you are Offended, you are not in Faith! Danger: It’s the connection to triumphant victory! Fear is activated! No Root Development. | 4. Persecution-people that should know better harass you/bother you | God The Almighty’s Love Romans 8:31-39 Genesis 17:1 I Chr. 29:11, Jer. 32:27 I John 4:8, Rev. 1:8 |
