Seeds in the Hands of the Sower | Pastor Mike White | 2.15.26 (Sermon)

I want to ask you today to turn with me

to the great book of Luke.

For you that

know me, this service will not be

strange at all. For you that don't know

me, it may be a little strange,

but just hang on. We going somewhere.

Amen.

The book of Luke, chapter number eight.

When you get there, shout glory.

>> There's a couple. I'll wait.

Brother Steve, so good to see you, son.

>> That fell back there that has some new

knees. I understand. So good to see you.

God bless y'all a little bit. Good to

see you. I want to thank brother

Michael. He came over

last week and helped us with a funeral.

And I want to thank him for coming and

being a servant to that family and for

pastor for letting him come.

St. Luke chapter 8, I want to begin

Luke 8 · chapter mention

reading at verse number five.

A soul went out to sew his seed

and as he sowed,

some fell by the wayside.

It was trotten down and the fowls of the

air devour it. It's a very familiar

parable spoken by Jesus. And some fell

upon a rock,

and as soon as it was sprung up, it

withered away because it lacked

moisture.

Some fell among thorns, and the thorns

sprang up with it and choked it. and

others fell on good ground and sprang up

and bear fruit a hundfold.

And when he had said these things, he

cried, "He that hath ears to hear, let

him hear." And his disciples asked him,

saying, "What might this parable be?"

And he said unto them, "Unto you it is

given to the mysteries of the kingdom of

God,

but to others in parables

that seeing that they might not see and

hearing that they might not hear

or understand."

Now the parable is this. The seed is the

word of God.

Those by the wayside that hear that

word, they hear it, and then cometh the

devil, and he taketh away the word out

of their hearts, least they should

believe and be saved.

They are they on the rock are they which

when they hear, they receive the word

with joy. And these have no root, which

for a while believed, and in time of

temptation they fell away.

And that which fell among the thorns,

they are they which when they have heard

they go forth, they are choked with the

cares and riches and pleasures of this

life,

and they bring no food fruit to

perfection.

But that on the good ground are they,

which in a honest and good hearts,

having heard the word, they keep it, and

they bring forth fruit with patience.

Today, if you've not have yet received

it, you want to receive a bag of seeds.

When you get it, I want you to not open

it, please, but just hold it for a

little while because today, for a little

while, I want to preach on the subject

seeds in the hand of the swer.

I want you to bow your heads, please,

and let's go before the Lord. Heavenly

Father, thank you for allowing me and my

lady to return home once again. Thank

you for what you're doing in this great

house that bears your name. And there is

evidence of your spirit moving mightily

because we've already felt you so close

and so near today. Spirit of God, I

thank you in advance for what you will

be doing supernaturally

in our midst today. I ask that you come

and do what you're famous for. I ask for

you to save. I ask for you to heal. will

ask for you to restore and give us clear

direction and allow us to take what you

have given us and be good stewards over

your word. Please move upon everyone

under the sound of my voice and show us

great and mighty things and we will

forever praise you and we forever give

you honor for it. And all of God's

children said, "Amen and amen." and you

may be seated in the presence of God.

I want to echo what your pastor said

while ago concerning Pastor Kate Head.

I've talked with him several times

yesterday. I talked with him just before

we came to the tabernacle today and he's

really doing good. But it's hard to get

a pastor to admit that they need

something. But I want you to please

continue to pray for Pastor Katton Head.

He is a general of the faith. He is a

very close friend and we just absolutely

love him. We'll be going to be with him

and his lady Karen after the service

today. But I want you to be praying for

him that God would move in a special and

extraordinary way. And I'm sure that God

will give you great grace to do so. And

he'll bless you for remembering this

spir spiritual general in your prayer.

Before I get into the meat of the

message, I have something that I would

like to present to my son.

It's just a little book. There's not but

just a very few pages in it. As a matter

of fact, I don't think there's but about

120 or so pages in it, but it's written

by a man by the name of Henry Jordan.

Now, Henry Jordan, he is the uh senior

vice president of a little corporation

called the Walmart Corporation year

worldwide.

They don't have but about 2.5 million

employees. But this man wrote an amazing

book and it's about a commitment to

servant leadership

and yesterday he was in my home again

and with tears he gave me this book

pastor Jesse and I want to give it to

you this morning. I will ask you to take

it and read it. It'll bless your heart.

It's a man that is not only a man of

great authority and great position, but

he is saved and Holy Ghost filled. He

loves God with all of his heart. His

lady Caroline, she is what they call a

forensic accountant. Now, when I heard

that word, it scared me to death. But

she is a forensic accountant. And if you

go to Walmart,

uh time sooner or later, you'll see a

little yellow sticker on there with a

smiley face on it. Well, she is the

creator of that. And that probably tells

you why, one of the reasons that he's a

senior vice president of Walmart. I But

it it don't just end there. A few weeks

ago, me and my lady took them and we

went on a trip and we went up to uh our

Amish friends and we took them around

and as some as done here uh some is in

my in in hearing of my voice today, some

have said I can control myself. I I I

right, Sister Linda, I I I can control

myself. I don't just have to buy things.

But they were submitted to that same

spirit. And we spent some time with them

and my son has built them a custom home

in the past and they have now moved back

into the area and he's building them a

custom home now. But it was after us

going out in the countryside and visit

some of our Amish friends that we went

back and we had dinner that night. And

then we retired for the evening and we

went to our motel room and we beded

down. And as we were there, my phone

dinged and it was a text and it was from

Brother Henry. And he said, "Pastor," he

said, "I just felt like for some reason

I need to send you something, and I want

to send this to you, and I pray that it

blesses your heart." Now, he didn't know

nothing about the direction that God was

leading me in, but he sent me this and

it's actually a song and it was written

by Henry and Caroline Jordan and it's

called the sewer of seeds. And I want to

read this song to you. This is what they

wrote. It said, "The ser spreads the

seed seeds around as far as he can see

with hopes that each will find a place

where it can grow abundantly. Some seeds

will lie on rocky ground and by the

wayside some may fall. Some is received

for just a little while and some is

never received at all. But some seeds

will fall on good ground and then it

begins to grow. Then the swer will

rejoice because this is what he knows.

He's found a good and honest heart. He's

found an open door. Another life will be

changed. And that's what the seed is

for. A good and honest honest heart.

That's what the swer seeks. You know,

it's only takes a good and honest heart

for the seed to begin to grow. Now, the

swer, he can't do it all. There's ground

that he can't see. So, if the seed is

going to be spread there, you know it's

up to you and me. Some sea will lie on

rocky ground and by the wayside, some

will fall. Some will be received for

just a little while. and some is never

received at all. But some will fall on

good ground and then it begins to grow.

Then as a soul we will rejoice because

this is what we know. We found a good

and an honest heart. We found an open

door. Another life that will be changed.

That's what the seed is for. A good and

honest heart. That's what the soul

seeks. You know, it only takes a good

and honest heart for the seed to begin

to grow. It only takes a good and honest

heart for the seed to begin to grow. He

knew nothing about the intentions that I

was going to be preaching this message

today. But in this secret uh this season

of secret thresholds that that your

pastor is taking you into as a church

body, we understand that a threshold is

a point of contact or a specific place

where you're either entering into

something or you are exiting something.

In other words, you are either coming or

you're going somewhere. Either way,

either way, you are going somewhere.

You're crossing over or into something

that the Holy Ghost has prepared and a

direction, a season, a move of his

divine presence. The threshold is there

for many reason but pastor just wants to

come to you today and the going across

the threshold for a specific person

purpose and that is to sew spiritual

seeds because in Luke chapter number

eight the scripture we just read verse

number five it says a soul went out to

sew his seeds very quickly this morning

I have lost my My holy water rag. I

don't know where it went. Anybody see

it?

>> Yeah, it's my age, y'all.

But in Luke chapter number eight, in the

parable of that scripture verse number

one, Luke shows us that Jesus was going

into every city and he was going into

every village and he was preaching and

teaching the word of God. In those

meetings, pastor, all that were in

attendance, there was a number that some

theologian says that could not be

counted because down the streets of the

city, they would be filled with men and

women. But some that the the scripture

records that was there was the 12

disciples was there including Judas. He

was with him there in those meetings.

Luke chapter 2 shows us that certain

Luke 2 · chapter mention

women was with Jesus. And then we see

the identification of the first woman

which was a woman which had been healed

of the pain and the effects of evil

spirits and the infirmities caused by

these evil spirits. She had been

burdened not only with seven demonic

spirits that was in her body before

Jesus set her through set her free, but

she was also carrying the scars and the

hurt and the pain that those demonic

experienced inflicted upon her. But the

scripture says that Jesus healed her.

Not only did her he set her free, but he

healed her as well. I think inside of

this, we see a pattern of the scripture

that shows us that God has the power to

set you free from anything and

everything that the enemy brings upon

your life. But he also has the power TO

HEAL YOU FROM THAT. He'll heal your mind

and he'll heal your body. He'll yield

the things that the weaponry of demonic

spirits has caused TO COME TO YOUR LIFE

IN YOUR HEART AND IN YOUR SPIRIT and in

your body. But that particular woman had

not left the side of Jesus from the day

that God had walked up and miraculously

set her free from all seven of those

demons. She had made it up in her mind

that she was not going to leave the

sight of Jesus. And she did not leave

him even until they took him to Calvar's

mountain. But she was there and her name

was Mary Magdalene. And her name meant

Magdala,

which is a little town on the eastern

side of Tiberius, which was known as a

city of great demonic oppression. And it

was there that she had first come in

contact with demon spirits that they had

come into her heart and come into her

life and she was captivated by those

demon spirits. But now she is there and

she is with God. I do know this that the

torture she suffered before her

deliverance was terrible to say the

least. But when she was set free by the

power and the presence of God, she was

also miraculously healed of those

effects. Some theologian says that even

in her private parts of her body, the

things that had been abused, it said

that God's power of deliverance was so

great that the presence of God went in

and delivered those those things that

had captivated her life and how that she

had been used by many many men and many

many witch doctors and many many other

things. But I I I got to tell you, I

love the fact that we can come to God

covered in our sin and covered in our

scars and covered in our mess and we can

bow down to HIM AND SAY, "FATHER,

forgive me of my sin." And all of a

sudden, the blood of Jesus comes in and

IT DOESN'T ONLY TRANSFORM US, BUT IT

CHANGES US FROM THE TOP OF OUR HEAD TO

THE SOLE of our feet. And we can get up

from an altar of prayer. And we can get

up from there being delivered by the

power AND THE GRACE OF GOD. AND THE

EFFECTS OF THAT SIN WILL NO LONGER BE ON

OUR LIFE BECAUSE HE SAID HE THAT THE SON

HAS SET free is free indeed. AND WE GOT

ANY FREE FOLKS in the house this

morning. God not only saved you, but he

set you free. He gave you a walk. He

gave you a talk. He gave you a

testimony. AND THE POWER AND THE GRACE

OF GOD has restored your life.

>> Shout. Amen.

>> But her name was Mary Mary Magdalene.

>> But it need we need to understand

the importance of verse number two.

It declares not only had she been set

free, but she had been healed of the

demonic effect on her body, mind, and

spirit. And that's why we must never

preach deliverance without preaching

healing.

>> We must never preach salvation without

preaching a change. We must never preach

God coming and his resurrection power

upon our life. and make us a son and

daughter of God without preaching

everything that the enemy tried to do

when to ME IN MY PAST is no longer

affecting my now present body. For I am

not the man I once was. I am not the

woman I once was. I am not the young

person I once was. I'm not the husband.

I'm not the wife I once was. I am now

bought by the blood of Jesus. Hallelujah

to God. AND BROTHER TRACY, WE ARE NOW

brand new creatures in Christ Jesus. Old

things are PASSED AWAY. AND I got to say

this. I wasn't going to try to be mean

this morning. I was just going to try to

love you because it's been a while. But

I want you to understand this. When you

come down to an altar and you give your

heart and life to Jesus, you ain't got

to go to to Dr. Spook and Spock or

anybody else. You ain't got to take the

Xanax. You ain't got to take all that

mess anymore. If you bound by drugs,

WHEN GOD SAVES YOU, HE DELIVERS YOU. HE

SETS YOU FREE. He makes you a new

creature.

He sets you free. He makes you a new

creature. And I know your pastor

preaches that.

>> He makes you a new creature in Christ

Jesus. But we need to understand

that not only had Mary Magdalene been

set free, but there were other women in

the crowd that had been set free. You

see, this is something new for the

disciples. For women were very limited

in their involvement in ministry by the

acknowledgment of Jesus at the beginning

of this verse. By him saying certain

women, he has now made this woman and

these certain women fellows with the men

of the kingdom of God. He has now made

them co-inhabitants in the ministry. And

I just want to flat out tell you, I know

some churches if it wasn't for the

women, they could close the door and

they could just close it up. Matter of

fact, where are my women in the house of

God today? I want you to stand to your

feet. I want to hear you. I want you to

understand you're important to the

kingdom of God. Don't let nobody shut

you up. Don't let nobody make you quiet.

Don't make nobody sit you down. I'm

telling you, you're important to the

kingdom of God.

You're important to the kingdom of God.

Now, because of the acknowledgment of

Christ, they are now grafted in to the

ministry. Understand this is something

that the disciples had never seen

before. Neither the people that had come

to hear the message preached from Jesus,

they had never seen it before. It was a

brand new facet of the ministry. Verse

number three shows us many other women

that were that were with Jesus. Two of

them in particular and they were named.

One of them being Joanna who was Herod

Stewart, King Herod is steward and his

wife Chuza who was a nobleman of

Capernium. Now this is this would be

Jesus wife who was named Joanna. This is

the same family whose son was healed by

Jesus. A woman by the name of Susanna is

named as well. And then Luke says that

there were many other women there and

they that ministered to Jesus. Then Luke

said in verse number four, when much

people had gathered together and came up

from the city that Jesus spoke a parable

unto them. As I've already said, this is

the first time ever that Jesus used a

parable in his ministry. Some

theologians that I have read behind said

that the parable of the seed and the

swer is the bedrock of every parable

that Jesus gave. It was there that he be

to break open to the minds of the hearer

the depths of God's word and he had to

use a parable because some would not

understand for the lack of time pastor

will hurry but Luke chapter number 8 4-8

we read together Jesus is speaking to

those that understood crops they

understood seed they understood planting

time and harvest

And Jesus tells them in this parable,

I'm going to make it to where you can

understand it. That's why I I pray every

time I go into a church, it does not

mean it does not mean that the pe people

are ignorant or it does not mean that

they don't have an education. But I'm

telling you, it should never be that a

pastor mounts a pullpit somewhere and he

preaches his theology above the head of

the hearer and they do not understand

and they do not under know do not know

but you have to preach it in a manner

that the seed of the word of God will be

placed in the heart of the hearer and

when it's placed there they will

understand and he all of a sudden hear

Jesus Jesus is now presenting to them a

parable so they'll understand what he's

preaching. And he he presents them in a

story of a farmer or a ser if you would.

A sewer scattering seeds across

different kinds of ground expecting a

harvest. The seeds represents the word

of God and the places where the seeds

are being sown represents different

types of the human heart. It represents

what the human heart is. Jesus speaks of

seeds sown by the wayside in this

parable. It's seeds that that you s they

sow your sew them by the wayside. It's a

place where many travel up and down the

lane if you would. The seed is trampled

on this welltraveled road or path and is

eaten up by the birds because it cannot

go into the soil. Why? Because the

ground is hard hard and the seed can't

seek into that ground and take root

because there's no moisture there at

all. The seed is baked by the sun.

That's why when your pastor preaches and

these other pastor preaches, brother

Cobb, we preach that the heart will

become acceptable to the word that the

Holy Ghost has given to us that it might

take ground and seed inside of the word

of God. Then Jesus speaks of being seeds

being sown on a rocky path. It grows

quickly but withers because they cannot

take root inside of rock. I have heard

many many people tell me and I guarantee

you they've told your your pastor as

well. They'll come and they'll say, "Oh

pastor, you got me today. Today the

preached word, it got my heart and it

planted something inside of me." But all

of a sudden next Sunday they not here.

Next Wednesday they not here. Next week

they not here. You want to know why?

They can stand up and say how great the

word is if they want to. But their heart

was so hard that even the word of God

could not penetrate the hardness of the

heart. I got to tell you, I don't care

how old or how young I may be. God, let

my heart always be a heart of flesh that

you can implant in my life and implant

in my spirit that that you desire for me

to have. I don't want to come in and

just hear good singing and praise and

worship that's needful and it must be.

But I want to hear what thus saith the

word of God. And I want my mouth to be

open and my heart to be turned towards

heaven that when that word comes,

watered by the Holy Ghost, it'll take

root and I'll step stand up and say,

"Oh, it was good to have been in the

house of the Lord because the WORD OF

GOD FED my soul.

>> It fed my soul."

Then Jesus speaks of seeds that were

sown among thorns.

When you do that,

how many of you's got your own opinion?

>> Got one good honest person.

>> I I've had I'll never forget it. I might

have told you, but I think this is a

good place to share it again. I was

preaching. I was pastoring a church. It

was the only one I really pastored other

than this one, but I was pastoring a

church and a lady was there and she had

two beautiful sets of twins. They were

beautiful young ladies and and and they

had been coming to a church at the

church for a long time. And all of a

sudden, I got to preaching on uh on

spiritual uh discipline, on how the

Lord, he will chasen those that he

loved. And I got carried away and I pull

my belt off. And I started looking at

mas and daddies. And I told them that,

you know, you do there's a nerve back

there that your child has right back

there somewhere. Y'all looking? It's

right back there. And if you touch that

nerve just right, it it'll register in

the brain and some things will fall back

in line the way it needs to fall back

into. Say amen, somebody. Amen.

Hallelujah. Say, pastor, my young throw

fit. I'm telling you, I throw a bigger

one. I don't care. I die. Yes, sir. I

don't believe in abuse, but that's kind

of what I don't want to preach on it,

but that's that's kind of what I was

talking about. And after after the

service, this wonderful lady, she was a

she was a single parent, and she was

trying to raise her children. I think

her children was maybe 17, 16 years of

age. They were beautiful ladies. and and

she come up to me in private after

service and she said, "Pastor, I got to

tell you, I'm leaving the church." I

said, "You are?" She said, "Yes." And

she had been coming for quite a while.

She said, "I can't sit under a pastor

that believes in the chastisement of

children." I said, "Let me tell you

something. Then you don't believe in the

word of God. And if that's how you feel,

you really need to go somewhere." I

said, "Because sounds like the word of

God got to you this morning." and she

left out and she took her children with

her about a week and a half later. I

remember getting a phone call and they

they summoned me and those two beautiful

young teenagers had been coming back

from Dothan, Alabama and on the curvy

road they they lost control of their car

and and both of those children were

killed. They died instantly. I got news

for you. You say, "Pastor, did that

happen?" because I mean because of what

she did. I'm not necessarily saying

that. But it wasn't hard for her to call

me and say, "Can you preach a funeral?"

I want you to understand, I don't want

the chastisement of God to come to my

life because I got a hard heart. I want

God to be able to touch my life and

change me and put me in position to be

blessed by his divine spirit.

Some speaks of seeds among thorns. It

seeds. It sprouts, but the thorns grow

up with it and they choke the plant.

Pastor, I'm preaching for you now.

That person sitting next to you, that

person sitting across the aisle from

you,

they don't need your help

and telling them what they can wear,

>> what they can't wear, how they look. You

old thorny thing. You sit there and keep

your mouth shut and you let God work

with them and they'll work out their own

soul salvation and they'll work it out

with fear and trembling. They don't need

your help. They doing the very best they

can. They just got saved. No, they ain't

GOT IT RIGHT. BUT MY GOD, THEY'RE TRYING

WITH EVERYTHING inside of them. Don't go

up to them and stick them with a thorn.

Pray for them, love them, encourage

them, and ask God to put his hand over

your shoulder and his hand over your

mouth.

>> If there's anything that needs to be

instructional when it comes to the NEW

SAINT, YOUR PASTOR will do it. Yes, it

will.

>> Your pastor will do it.

>> But Jesus speaks of seeds among thorns.

Starting to feel real good now.

Then lastly, Jesus speaks of seed sown

on good soil.

Everybody shout, "Good soil."

>> Good soil. Bailey,

Pastor I ain't doing this to embarrass

you, but I want you to stand up.

I want you to raise your hands and give

God praise for the deliverance that came

to your life just a few moments ago. You

give God praise for it. You get excited

about the fact the things I once worried

about, I ain't worrying about them no

more. I'M GOING TO TRUST GOD WITH

EVERYTHING in my life. Come on, CHURCH.

PRAISE GOD WITH HER. WHEN YOU SEE ONE,

REJOICE. We all need to rejoice.

>> Hallelujah.

>> But it says that

seeds were sown on good soil. It grows

and it produces a bountiful harvest

>> and it yields a hund times the amount of

the seed that was sown.

>> It yields back to your life a hund times

more. When you take that word of God and

you let it implant on good soil, you be

a good soil. That means you good for

heaven's sakes.

>> That means you're good. You treat your

neighbor right. You treat people right.

You love fervently. And you and you do

what this word says as much to your

knowledge that you're able to do it.

Then that seed will be sown. And every

time you sow something, God will

multiply it 100fold.

You hear that? That means if you gave at

that first fruit offering, YOU GET

READY. THERE'S A HUND TIME FO coming

back to your life.

But pastor, I don't give to receive.

You're ignorant.

>> Bless God. I give to receive.

>> Because his word said, "If I give, I

shall receive." Good measure pressed

down, shaken together, and running over.

He said, "If you do this," he said,

"I'll bless you in the city. I'll bless

you in the field. I'll bless you in the

marketplace. I'll bless you everywhere

you going. Everything your hand touches,

I will bless and I WILL DEFEAT THE

DEVOURER FOR YOUR SAKE. THAT RIGHT THERE

IS ENOUGH to make me want to obey the

word of God.

>> Oh, hallelujah.

>> Then he says something. He that hath

ears to hear, let him hear. I want you

to understand this is more than just a

statement, Brother Jerome. It's a

command,

>> but it's also a warning to hear.

>> He that will hear, let him hear. And

it's to the believer and non-believers

alike. It's to all of us, every one of

us. Paul said, "How shall they hear

without a preacher? And how shall they

preach unless they're sent?

>> Everybody shout, "Preach it, pastor."

>> This teaching from a parable that

had never been seen by the disciples

before. And their question was in verse

number nine, "What might this parable

be, master?"

And what an answer our Lord gives to

them.

>> Yes, he does.

>> Jesus responds and tells them, "You have

me with you."

>> Everybody look at me.

If you're, and I'll prove it to you

later, but if you're saved and you're

born again, the seed of God lives in

your heart.

>> It lives in your heart. And I want you

to listen. He responds and says to his

disciples, "Disciples,

you have me with you and I'll show you

and I'll give you the mysteries of the

kingdom of God." But for others, even

though they see, they can't really see.

>> They they they trying to see. They're

trying to look, but they can't really

see.

>> And even though they can hear, they

can't really hear. So I speak in

parables to them.

I speak in parables to them. Then Jesus

speaks privately to his disciples.

This is what he said. He said, "Now for

you, brother Robbie, the parable is

this." And we read it in Luke 8 11-15.

He said, "The seed I spoke of is the

word of God. The same seed is given to

all which is life and the messenger of

God's kingdom. But it's its effect

depends on the condition of which the

heart it is in when it receives it.

>> Everybody got that?

>> Then Jesus said the wayside I spoke of

is the hardened heart. Those are people

who hear, but the devil quickly snatches

away the word. It snatches it away. They

never truly believe or they are never

truly changed.

Then he said, "The rocky ground I spoke

of is a heart where there is no soil.

There's nothing there but stones and

rock. They receive the world with joy at

first, but they have no loot. When

testing or persecution comes, they fall

away.

And I'm going to say this. I was going

to say it some more later.

No,

I won't say it now.

Well, I might as well.

I'm gonna tell you something. I want you

to listen to me.

Christian television and programming

has lost 73.5%

of their viewership.

The dude down in Houston,

Mr. Joel Ostein

that tried to tell us and some of you,

oh, I'm home. I'm preaching.

>> I think there is Christians that have

been turned into nothing but suckers.

>> And they have took money and they've

shipped here and they shipped there and

they won't even put it in this man's

hands for him to do a work in the

community. Don't you listen to me.

>> Joel Ostein, his church in the past

seven months has lost in excess of

25,000

attendees.

You want to know why? Because life is

happening. Things are going on. Brother

Paul Jury, things are taking place. He's

up there telling everybody how good they

are, how blessed they are. All they got

to do is think positive. I got news for

you, sir. It's hard to think positive

when you're sitting in front of a doctor

and he tells you you got 30 days to

live. It's hard to think positive when

your son gets killed in an automobile

wreck. It's hard to think positive when

a man of God like this man and this

woman is going through what they going

through. Mama told me just a little

while ago that she can't understand it.

Baby, don't try to understand it. I

ain't going to make you understand it.

But I am going to tell you, you have

served a God year after year after year.

And pastor, HE AIN'T GOING TO FORSAKE

YOU NOW. He's going to take your hand

and lead you

>> every step of the way.

>> Every step of the way.

I know I don't watch it, but I can't

help it. It comes on commercials every

time on sometime on Fox News.

But he was saying the other day, I've

just wrote a new book.

You can send me a donation of any size

and I'll send you a copy.

You want to know how? You want to know

how why that's happening? Because

usually he puts a dollar mark beside it.

He's finding out that his money ain't

sustaining him. He's finding out what he

thought he had isn't good enough,

pastor. He's finding out that people are

needing more than just a little tickling

of the ears. They need the power and the

spirit of God to move when they walk

into the house of God. And I thank God

them people are leaving that place. And

I pray to God they get in a spiritfilled

bibleelving church and they get hooked

up TO THE WORD OF GOD AND A MOVING OF

THE spirit and the anointing of God

touches and change their lives.

>> Hallelujah.

>> But I got to tell you,

>> there's been a shift.

>> A shift has happened, brother Danny. And

I want to tell you

the shield started in CO. It didn't

manifest itself.

>> The only shield that manifested in CO

was Christians that said they were

Christians had an excuse not to go to

church and pay tithe anymore.

>> Oh, the government said we had to shut

it down. And God helped me. Your my son,

he he saw how I agonized over that. My

staff saw how I agonized over that.

having to close this house and my

platform family having to sing to empty

pews and look in the cameras and

preachers having to preach to empty pews

and looking in the cameras. But I'm

telling you, it it developed something

inside of the hearts of believers that

had nothing but a stony hard

experiencing God. And they said, "I

don't got to go to church no more. let's

go to the beach or let's do this or

let's do that and and and it begin to

take place and the enemy used that but

he don't really understand the evidence

of what is about and is happening. I

want you to know, beloved, it you you

look on well, don't look on it, but if

you go and look on Christian television,

you'll you'll see big name preachers,

they're not being mentioned no more.

You're not hearing about it anymore.

They it's not going on anymore. And

right up to about four months before

Charlie Kirk was assassinated, I felt it

then, Jesse. I I felt it then. I felt

things begin to move in my spirit as I

begin to pray over this house and other

over other churches. So, you know what

God's done? He has made a shift. And

there's a college down south that used

to have the name of the Assemblies of

God on it. It don't have it no more.

It's gone in in another direction. But

on that campus there is a revival that

has started there. The young men and

women are coming to the h to the house

of God and they getting down in

auditoriums and football fields and they

getting on their faces. They don't even

have much music. They don't even have

much praise and worship. They just

coming in and falling down on their face

and they crying out unto God and they're

confessing their sins.

>> They're confessing their sins.

>> THEY'RE CRYING OUT, "GOD, FORGIVE me

>> for abortion.

forgive me

>> for what I did. And they calling out

those sins.

>> And a wave of God's spirit is sweeping

through the land. I want you to

understand God because he's been driven

away by power and money and because

pastors and preachers can't can't keep

control of their body and their lustful

spirits and the things that they have

done. God said, "I'll save my flock

because if I have to, I'll remove the

shepherd to do it." And what he's doing,

Jess, Pastor Jesse, is he's taking those

young men and women, young mamas and

daddies, young people older as well, and

he's pulling them away from the place

that they're at. And he's giving them a

heart of flesh. And now they're crying

out, "God, do me. Doing me. Doing me

anything you want to do.

>> Anything. Yeah.

>> Anything,

>> anything

you want to do.

Thorny ground

choke the word.

But then comes good soil.

These that hear the word

will hold

fast to it.

The word you speak

will hold fast to it and they'll

preserve it in their heart. In my

office, I have a plaque that was hanging

in my office and a another pastor was in

there with me the other day and he is a

Hispanic pastor in a few days. I got to

preach with an interpreter. That ought

to be something.

But he said, "Pastor, what is these?"

And it was when Craig Dabney made me a

board. And it has about 12 different

messages that I preached on it. It has

an umbrella in there. And it has a

hammer. It has a nail. It has all kinds

of stuff. And he said, "Pastor, what is

these?" And I got to telling him about

it. And of course, I have to brag on my

church every time I do. But I got to

telling him about it. He said, "You mean

that that church remembered your

messages when you got done with it?" I'm

tell I'm telling you, the women are

carrying nails in their purses. They're

carrying spoons in their purses. They're

they're carrying rocks in their purses.

And if I could have come up with a way

with it and well, some of you are. I I'd

work it out to where they carry a gun in

their purse. Whatever the what whatever

God led me to do, I said and he said,

"Wow, that's an amazing." He said, "How

can that happen?" And I said, "Because

the heart of the hearer was ready to

receive the word of God, and it was

implanted inside of a good heart."

>> A good heart. And I'm hurt.

>> Oh, snap. It's 5 after 12.

Good. I didn't mean to say snap.

I should have said, "Oh, snot." It's 5

after 12.

I want you to hear me.

I'm going to speak about the seed for a

moment. I want you to take your seed and

I want you to look at it.

Hold it.

I'm going to say this now.

Look at your neighbor and say, "Name

your

>> seed.

I feel compelled

by the spirit

to hopefully touch you in just the

manner

in which I am speaking.

The Bible you hold in your hands some

284 different times it speaks of seed

or it speaks of speaks of seeds

and I want to tell you I've looked at

every one of them

I have looked at every one of them

you understand right that

a male can't give birth

That was that whole statement.

>> A male can't give birth.

>> And a woman can't plant a seed.

>> I want you to listen to me.

>> An apple seed.

It will produce apples. Brother Tommy,

isn't that something?

Seed corn will produce corn.

>> A lemon seed will produce a lemon tree

that will produce many, many lemons just

from one seed,

just from one.

Concerning the seed in the so in Mark

Mark 4:31

4:31 Jesus declared that a grain of

mustard seed which when it is sown in

the earth is less than all the seeds

that will ever be sown in the earth is

the most smallest seed pastor Scott that

you will ever be sown. But then Jesus

speaks of this little insignificant

tiny mustard seed in Matthew 17 and 20.

And he says, "If you have faith as a

grain of a mustard seed,

>> the seed that is less than all the seeds

that are sown in the entirety of the

earth, if you HAVE FAITH THE SIZE of a

mustard seed, you shall say unto this

mountain, REMOVE HENCE TO YONDER PLACE,

AND IT SHALL BE REMOVED, AND NOTHING

SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE UNTO YOU.

NOTHING,

>> teeny teeny tiny,

>> nothing,

nothing shall be impossible to you

concerning those that you love. Isaiah

44:es

2-3, the word of God declares, "Thus

sayaith the Lord that made thee and

formed thee from thy from the womb,

which will help thee. Fear not, oh

Jacob, my servant, and thou Jezer, who

I've chosen. For I will pour water. I

WILL POUR WATER UPON the thirsty, and

floods upon the dry ground, AND I WILL

POUR MY SPIRIT UPON THY SEED. I will

POUR MY SPIRIT UPON thy seed.

EVERYBODY SHOUT SEED.

>> I will pour my spirit upon my seed and

my blessings upon thy offspring.

>> Yes, sir.

>> That's why I know Bailey's going to be

blessed. Terara's going to be blessed.

The other two are going to be blessed. I

know that you as a parent, if you live

for God, your seed going to be blessed.

You said, "Pastor, they ain't serving

for him now." Well, it ain't over, baby.

We still believe it. We still walk in

this walk out. We still going to be

faithful. We going to still believe the

word of God AND BELIEVE THAT GOD IS

GOING TO give us our children. DON'T YOU

QUIT, ROBBIE. DON'T YOU QUIT.

>> We still believe it. We still believe

it. If you have faith

concerning those we love, he said, "I

formed thee and I made thee." And guess

what? You just sew the seed. I'll water

it.

>> That's what he said. I'll water it.

David cries in Psalms 37. And I'm

hurrying y'all. 37 verses 23 and 36. He

said, "The steps of a good man are

ordered by the Lord, and he delightth in

this way. Though he fall, he shall

utterly he shall not be utterly cast

down. For the Lord upholds him with his

hand. For I've been young and now I am

old. Yet I have not seen the righteous

forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He

is every merciful and he lendeth and his

seed is blessed.

>> LOOK AT YOUR SEED AND SAY, "YOU'RE GOING

TO BLESS ME."

>> This is a participation part. Look at

your seed and say, "You're going to

bless me."

>> Isaiah 55,

we see the giver of the seed.

He said, "Seek ye the Lord while he may

be found. Call you upon him while he is

near. Let the wicked forsake his way or

get the heart right. Get the soul right

and the unrighteous man his thoughts and

let him return unto the Lord. He will

have mercy upon him and to our God. He

will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts

are not your thoughts, neither are my

ways your ways, declares the Lord. For

as heaven is high, higher than the

earth, so are my ways higher than your

ways, and my thoughts higher than your

thoughts. For as the rain cometh down,

and the snow from heaven, and returns

not to the heavens, but waters the

earth, and makes it bring forth in bud,

that it may give seed to the ser and

bread to the eater. For my word shall

not return unto me void, but it will do

the purpose in which I have said it.

Baby, just keep sowing seeds. Yes.

>> Keep sewing seeds.

>> I want to do it this way. And I'm

getting ready to close.

I ain't going to do it, my lady. I'm

not.

She critiqued me this morning. So, I'm

not going to do it.

But concerning the seed and the origin

of the son of God, the great apostle

speaks in Romans chapter 1 verses 3 and

Romans 1:3

four concerning his son Jesus our Lord,

which was made of the sea of David

according to the flesh and declared to

be the son of God with power according

to the spirit of holiness by the

resurrection of the dead. Did you hear

that? The seed. The seed. Paul praises

the Lord of the Sabbath in Romans 9 and

29. He said, "If the Lord of the Sabbath

had not left us a seed, we would be at

Sodom and would have been likened unto

Gomorrah." But thank God, Brother

Cornby, he left us a seed in the

embodiment of Jesus Christ. He gave us

that seed. In 2 Corinthians 9 and verse

10, we see once again the provider of

the seed and the seeds produces bread.

For he said, "Now he that min seed, he

that ministers seed to the sewer both

ministers bread for your food and

multiplies your seed sown and increases

the fruit of your righteousness." He

will increase that fruit to the saints

of the church of Galatians in Galatians

Galatians 3 · chapter mention

chapter 3 26- 29. This is what he said

for you all the children are the

children of God by faith in Christ

Jesus. For as many of you has been

baptized into Christ, you have put on

Christ. There is either there and for,

no Greek or Jew, nor bond or free.

There's neither male nor female. For you

are all in one Christ Jesus. And if you

be Christ, then ye are Abraham's seed

according to the promise. What Paul WAS

SAYING, IT DON'T MATTER IF you black. IT

DON'T MATTER IF YOU'RE WHITE. IT DON'T

MATTER IF you Asian. It don't matter if

you red. It don't matter if you fat. It

don't matter IF YOU SKINNY. IT DON'T

MATTER IF YOU BALD OR YOU GOT HAIR ON

YOUR HEAD. IT DON'T MATTER IF YOU A size

11 or a size 22. You are STILL THE SEA

OF GOD. And God loves you.

God loves you.

Platform family, if you would please

come.

It would make us make everybody feel

better.

I'm just going to say it this way.

Joe, come on. Come here. The pastor.

just turn sideways if you

I'm just going to

disperse with some of the scripture, but

I want to explain it to you like this.

God created man and woman.

He put them in the garden.

They had it made, y'all.

And I tell you what, all all you ladies,

when you get to heaven, if you want to

jack slap Eve, you go ahead.

I might do that.

Adam,

but the serpent came.

Somewhere in Eve's heart,

there was a flaw.

There was definitely a flaw in Adam's

heart because he didn't protect his

lady. He should have took his heel and

stomped his head. Said, "You ain't

messing with my woman." That's

>> what he should have done.

>> But because of sin, Jill,

they was expelled from the garden.

Sin first at that time entered into the

heart of God's perfect creation.

God looked at that

and he said, "There's got to be a

remedy."

So God takes

a holy seed

and he places it

in the womb of a virgin.

And in the process of time,

a child was born.

The child wasn't just any child.

It was the son of God

because the seed that was placed

came from God the father.

Angels

told of his birth.

For 30 years

he was under the school master.

Sister Gordon he

He learned things.

He cut himself. He fell. He bruised.

He was like any other man.

But yet

he was a holy seed.

After three years, three and a half

years of ministry,

he would walk into synagogues and he

would speak and they would say, "Did not

our heart burn within us?"

And they'd say things like, "We never

heard a man speak like that."

And then

They arrested him,

took it to the place of the pavement.

Those of his own blood

chose

a thief and a robber and a murderer by

the name of Barabus

over him.

And I wanted to get into that because

son I believe that's why Israel has

suffered so just that little choice

little choice.

Then they take Jill,

your son,

and they whip him

at a hitching post.

And a holy seed

was strapped to a whipping post.

And with a cat of nine tails,

his flesh was ripped from his bones.

And Jesus said,

your pastor said it this morning. He

said, "Healing is so easy for God."

Oh, it is now.

But it wasn't then

because he said by my stripes

you were made whole.

He didn't say you was going to be whole.

And it doesn't matter if you're made

whole by the sept accepting of that

blood

as your savior

or that blood instantly heals you. Now

you're made whole

by that blood.

And then mama, they take your son, your

holy seed.

They plant a crown of thorns on him.

They mock him,

pluck his beard.

Then they take him down to via delar

carrying his own cross.

And when he didn't have

strength to carry it no more,

they made Simon help him.

And that holy seed

looked at Simon and said, "Simon,

this blood is for you."

And they carried it to the place of the

skull, Galtha.

And there That holy thief

laid his body down on a cross.

They raised him up.

A Roman soldier

pierced

that holy seed side.

Blood fell to the ground mixed with

water.

But before

he was ever said is finished,

that holy seed said,

"I think I can produce one more seed."

And the thief on the cross turns to him

and says,

he calls him master.

He said, "Master, save thyself."

And Jesus

says, "Son, you said it in

one word.

You call me master."

He said, "Master,

can I be with you in paradise?"

And he looked at him and said, "This

day,

this very hour,

I'm going to produce another one like

myself.

You will be with me in paradise." And

the scripture says, he bowed his head

and he says, "It is finished. Thank you,

Jew."

They took his body,

carried it to the tomb

to Arythea,

placed him in that holy seed into a

tomb.

One day passed, two days passed, and on

the morning of the third day,

that holy seed

stepped out of the tomb

and he held up three keys and he says,

"I have the keys

of death, hell, and the grave."

I want you to stand to your feet,

please.

I want to say this to you.

It's something that John said in 1 John

1 John 3 · chapter mention

chapter 3 and verse number N.

I apologize for going so long, but in 1

1 John 3:9

John 3:9, this is what

John recorded.

He said, "Little children,

be not deceived."

And let no man deceive you.

He that doeth righteousness is

righteous,

even as he is righteous.

And whosoever is born of God does not

commit sin.

You say, "Wait a minute. I I just can't

take the time to go into that." But it

it don't mean that we do not sin.

But it's of another

parable where he's speaking that you can

commit no sin that's great enough that I

cannot forgive you for

that I cannot forgive you for. He said

but whosoever is born of God does not

commit sin. Hear it now.

For the seed of God is in him,

and he cannot sin

because he is born of God.

Today, you hold in your hands some seeds

that my lady prepared.

Those seeds have been prayed over.

The last verse that we read together

that we read together in the passage

this morning records this

in verse number 15.

He said, "But that on the good ground

are they,

which is a honest and good heart,

having heard the word, keep it, and

bring forth fruit

with patience."

What you doing, pastor? I'm just

patiently waiting on God.

I'm patiently waiting on him.

All it takes is an honest and good

heart.

Having heard the word,

you keep it.

Brother Henry wrote, "An honest and good

heart

tells us that the problem is always with

our heart and not the circumstance.

God's guided, beloved.

He's guided. No matter what it is, God

has it.

>> No matter what it is, Wanda, he has it.

Just keep an honest and good heart.

Here's the alter call.

Hearing the word of God is not enough.

We must keep it as well.

We got to keep it.

And then when we hear the command to

bring forth much fruit with patience,

we just begin to sew.

We begin to sew.

We sow. We sow. We sow.

I want to ask you a question.

How many in here trust this pastor

today? You trust me? I want you to raise

your hand. You trust me as a man of God.

You trust me

that this word come from God. I'm fixing

to ask you to trust me.

Pastor Jesse, we supposed to have a

camera somewhere that maybe can follow

me.

I want to ask you to whatever's in your

hand

other than those seeds, I want you to

lay it down.

If you have anything else other than the

seed,

I want you to just lay it down.

Where's Brother David Ball at? Let's

see. Where's he at?

>> I need brother David if it's at all

possible

for just a moment.

I want you to search your heart.

If there's anything stony in it, I want

you to get it out

and all it takes is us asking.

Brother David,

I want to position you with Pastor Pet.

If there's anything in your heart

that's hard,

I mean, you just hard.

any spots

that's hard, I want you to get it out.

Just ask the Lord to forgive you and he

will. He'll do it instantly.

If there's anything thorny

in your heart, maybe it's a judgmental

spirit.

Maybe it's a micromanaging spirit.

Just ask God to turn it to flesh

right now.

I need some ushers to open the back

doors, please. Cuz what I'm about to do

may sound seem a little different.

Well, I want you to look at your seat.

I want you to name it.

If you need healing,

you say, "This seed's for healing.

This seed is for clearness of mind."

That seed there,

that's for the salvation of my family.

That seed there,

that is for every need in my life to be

met

by his riches and glory.

That seat there

is for me to talk to someone about what

God has done in my life.

That seed there is to invite Johnny and

Sally to church.

That seed there

is for me to have the courage

to walk up to strangers

and tell them

what Jesus has done for me.

You name your seed anything you want to

anything you need. peace in my home,

strength in my body.

Now, here comes the unusual part.

Those are spiritual seeds you have.

Even though

they're r seeds,

but they're spiritual seeds.

Now we got to sew them.

The soil we sow them in has got to be

good soil

out front of the sanctuary today.

There's a beautiful lawn.

Me and your pastor put the irrigation in

it.

My lady and Mac put the flag pole up.

We've spent a trillion dollars on the

grass that's out there.

But I got to tell you, it's good soil.

Why is it important that we sew it

there, pastor?

because it's the soil in which

this church was built upon.

And every time you come into this

magnificent building that represents the

house of God, you're going to walk by

your seat.

You're going to say, "Lord,

I'm patiently waiting."

What we fixing to do now? I didn't tell

your pastor this, but what we fixing to

do now, we all fixing to go outside.

Leave your stuff where it is. We will

watch over it.

But we going to go outside and we going

to line the sidewalks

around and you going to take that seed

and you're going to sew it in this

ground.

You're going to sew it in this ground.

And we're believing

the God of heaven and the God of the

harvest is going to bring you multiple

rewards.

Not just one or twofold, but a hundfold.
