Mark 4:13-20

1. With God's Help break up the Fallow Ground! 1st Soil

2. Persevere Through Affliction and Persecution! 2nd Soil

James 5:7-11

3. Remove these things from Your Life: 3rd Heart

•  Worries – Matthew 6:25-33
•  Deceit about Riches
•  Desires For Other Things!

4. Hear the Word and Accept the Word! 4th Heart

John 15:1-11 – Abiding in Christ through the Word!

1 John 2:27-28 – Abiding in Christ through the Spirit!

27 As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.

Joseph a Picture of a Life of Fruit!

Genesis 41:51 Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household." 52 He named the second Ephraim, "For," he said, "God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."

Genesis 49:22-26 - Fruitful in the Land of my Affliction!

Galatians 5:16-24 - Fruitfulness – A Choice!

Picture of Fruit!

Genesis 41:38 Then Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find a man like this, in whom is a divine spirit?"

Matthew 12:33 "Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit. 34 " You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. 35 " The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil.
