TYPES OF GROUND 7 THINGS SATAN USES: THE MASTER’S KEY
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 2:22. Matt. 4:43. 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 1:82. 2 Tim. 2:153. Acts 17:11Bonus: Eph.3:17 |
These two can cause one to be Offended: trapped to sin, backslide! | 3. Affliction-(pressure) when satan uses things to destroy you. | Joy/Faith/Patience – James 1:1-42 Cor. 4:13,14/1 Cor, 10:13 |
If you are Offended, you are not in Faith! Danger: Faith is the connection to triumphant, victory! The offended heart activates Fear! No Root, No Development & No Fruit.Don’t be touchy, Fretful, Resentful and Pay no attention to a suffered wrong! | 4. Persecution-people that should know better harass you/bother you | God -The Almighty’s LoveRomans 8:31-39Genesis 17:1I Chr. 29:11, Jer. 32:27I John 4:8, Rev. 1:8Walking In Love: Love Actions: I Cor. 13:8a/Mark 11:25, 26/Luke 6:26-38/Matt. 5:44 – Four things!1.Love your enemies! |
