BLESSED BY PARABLE TRUTHS

My Dear Precious Child, After Jesus made it clear that there was a kingdom of the devil that was ruling the world, but that there would soon come into the world My Kingdom of God which was to supplant the devil's works in the earth, He demonstrated to His earthly mom and brothers and other people who were around them that His Heavenly family was more important to Him than His birth family was. While Jesus was teaching to a crowd of people his birth Mother Mary and His brothers appeared and were standing outside and were eager to speak with him, probably about a contentious family matter. Jesus asked of the man who notified Him of His mother and brothers wanting His attention, Jesus asked who was His mother and who were his brothers? He stretched His hand toward His disciples and said, "Here are My mother and My brothers. Anyone who does the will of My Father in heaven, He is My brother, My sister and My mother." In other words, He needed to be about His Real Father's business, not diverted from it to settle some minor birth family problems. That action of His made it possible for His birth family to know that His loyalty was to My children who do My will. (Matthew 12:46-50) That same day Jesus went to the lakeside but crowds gathered around him and so He got in a boat. People stood on the beach to listen to Him. He started teaching in parables. The first parable relating to My Kingdom of God which was soon to come into the earth was the parable of the sower, telling them that a sower went to sow his seed. As he sowed his seed some of it fell on the edge of the path and birds came and ate those seed. Some other seed fell on patches of rock where there was very little soil so there was no depth of earth, and as soon as the sun came up they became scorched with few roots and they died. Other seed fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and choked the tiny plants. Other seed fell on rich soil and produced good crops, some a hundredfold, some sixty and some thirty. He told the people to listen if they had spiritual ears. (Matthew 13:4-9) Jesus explained to His disciples the meaning of that parable. He said that when anyone hears the words of the Kingdom of God without understanding is the one whose seed fell on the path, and so the devil comes and steals away those seed. The man whose seed fell on rocky soil is the man who welcomed the seed with joy, but the seed had no root in him so the truth in the seeds did not last. As soon as trials come and persecution because of the Word, the man whose soil is rocky will fall away immediately. The man who received the seeds in thorns is the man who hears the Word and understands it, but the worries of the world and the lure of riches choke the Word and the man produces nothing. The man who received the seed in rich soil is the man who hears the Word, understands it and yields a harvest of a hundredfold, now sixty, now thirty.(Matthew 13:18-23) The disciples of Jesus were beginning to understand the Truth of My Kingdom eventually coming into the world. They did not realize that it was the kingdom of hell which had cursed the lives of My children. Until Jesus began teaching, the people thought that I was good on one hand but vengeful on the other hand. They were ignorant of basic spiritual truths. The disciples of Jesus Christ were beginning to get a peek into the heavenly dimensions where good spirits and evil spirits exist and influence the lives of people. The parables of Jesus Christ relate to My Kingdom of God which came into the lives of the followers of Jesus who were in the upper room on the day of Pentecost. (Acts 2:1-23)It was then that those followers of Jesus began to have the truths that Jesus taught become revelations in their understanding from the inside of them where their Tutor, the Holy Spirit, shined His light on the truths that Jesus taught and brought Life to them, just like Jesus told them would happen. It all culminated in the Word becoming flesh in them just like it did in Jesus Christ when all of the prophesies relating to Jesus came together and formed the Savior of the world. Your Father of Perfect Plans
