4 types of soil

All four types of soil are essentially the same dirt but are in different conditions and respond in different ways to cultivation.

Tend to your heart, turn worries into prayer, and remove your spiritual weeds.

The greater the yielding to God’s cultivation, the greater the capacity of fruitfulness.

Can you be “cultivated” in your life?
How correctable are you?
How quickly do you repent?
Can you self correct?

“Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”
Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭3‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

🔥SUNDAY RECAP🔥
Infilling of the Holy Spirit

The experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit is distinct from salvation. Jesus said the world cannot receive Him because it does not know Him. Only those who are born again can receive the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit was given on the Day of Pentecost and has been present ever since. It is not a matter of God sending Him again; it’s a matter of believers receiving what has already been given.

The baptism in the Holy Spirit is received by faith just as salvation is received by faith.

The Holy Spirit is a free gift! It is not earned or able to be obtained through works. The New Testament shows believers receiving immediately by faith, often accompanied by speaking in tongues.

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you”
John‬ ‭14‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The Temple of the Holy Spirit

The holiness of the temple comes from God’s presence, not human effort.

Just like a house becomes a home when someone lives there, our lives become God’s
dwelling place when His Spirit lives in us.

We grow closer to God when we stop seeing ourselves as “just human” and start living as holy dwelling places for His Spirit.

“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit… therefore glorify God in your body.”
1 Corinthians 6:19–20 NLT

Ask questions of the Lord [when it comes to raising your kids]!

“Her children arise up, and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praiseth her.”

Renewing of the mind

For our time here on Earth, this body we have will do the job, but thankfully we can look forward to the day where we get a NEW body, functioning exactly as God intended!

With help from the Holy Spirit, we can do anything, including laugh in the face of depression and sorrow. Joy can be found in the Holy Ghost!

Bringing our soul and body in line with scripture is an ongoing event. We will never get to a
place in our time on this earth where we are "finished" with that process.

When we put our Faith in God, and the Holy Spirit into action, we will see the changes we are looking for.

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Romans 12:2 KJV
