B.E.S.T. Shabbat

"For "WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD THAT HE MAY INSTRUCT HIM?" But we have the mind of Christ." 1 Co 2:16 (NKJV) We have been looking at how to maximize results in our lives.  We want exponential change.  This is called by Yeshua the 30-60-100 fold return on the seed of God’s Word or His promises to us. Listen to Walking in Fruitfulness - Part 2 We looked at Mark 4 as the master parable of increase. Let’s turn there and read from verse 1. And again He began to teach by the sea. And a great multitude was gathered to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole multitude was on the land facing the sea. Then He taught them many things by parables, and said to them in His teaching: "Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air [15] came and devoured it. Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately i...

"For "WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD THAT HE MAY INSTRUCT HIM?" But we have the mind of Christ." 1Co 2:16 (NKJV) Over the last few weeks, we have been pressing in for lives that operate in the 30-60-100 fold fruitfulness in the Lord. We have looked at heart attitudes that preclude our bearing fruit in our lives the way that we could if our hearts were the fertile pure soil that the Lord would have them be. Our proof text or guidebook has been the parable of the sower which we looked at in Mark’s gospel. "The sower sows the word. And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts. These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness; and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word's sake, immediately ...

"For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God."   Romans 8:14 Last week we spoke about attitudes of the heart that affect the harvest in our lives.   We recognized that it is both the seed and the soil that affect the outcome in our lives.   The seed can be the voice we are listening to.   We can either listen to the voice of the Lord or we can listen to the voice of our carnal experience which the scripture calls in various places, the old man, the flesh, even our own mind.   The other key element is the condition of our heart, which is reflected in the attitude with which we listen.   Attitude is a huge part of communication. Listen to Spiritual Reality We looked at 4 attitudes from the parable of the sower. Mark 4:14-20: (reader) "The sower sows the word. "These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been so...
