Good soil can not be self proclaim the the seed will test
the soil
Acts 19:14-20(NASB)14 Seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing
this. 15 And the evil spirit answered and said to them, “I recognize Jesus, and I know
about Paul, but who are you?”
16 And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaped on them and
subdued all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17 This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who
lived in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified.
18 Many also of those who had believed kept coming,
confessing and disclosing their practices. 19 And many of those
who practiced magic brought their books together and began
burning them in the sight of everyone; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20 So the word of the Lord was growing mightily and
prevailing.
Acts 11:1-20(NASB)
Acts 13:44-48(NASB)44 The next Sabbath nearly the whole city assembled to hear the word of the Lord. 45 But
when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began contradicting the things spoken by Paul, and
were blaspheming.
46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was
necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first; since you repudiate it and judge
yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to
the Gentiles.
47 For so the Lord has commanded us,‘I have placed You as a light for the Gentiles,That You may bring
salvation to the end of the earth.’”48 When the Gentiles heard this,
they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord; and as many as had been appointed to eternal
life believed.
Acts 15:35-36(NASB)35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed
in Antioch, teaching and preaching with many others also,
the word of the Lord.36 After some days Paul said to
Barnabas, “Let us return and visit the brethren in every city in
which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are.”
Acts 17:11-15(NASB)11 Now these were more
noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily
to see whether these things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed, along with a number
of prominent Greek women and men. 13 But when the Jews of
Thessalonica found out that the word of God had been
proclaimed by Paul in Berea also, they came there as well, agitating and stirring up the
crowds.
14 Then immediately the brethren sent Paul out to go as far as the sea; and Silas and Timothy remained there. 15
Now those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they
left.
Acts 18:5-11(NASB)5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began devoting himself completely to the
word, solemnly testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. 6 But
when they resisted and blasphemed, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will
go to the Gentiles.”
7 Then he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius
Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next to the
synagogue. 8 Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in
the Lord with all his household, and many of the Corinthians
when they heard were believing and being baptized.
9 And the Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid any longer, but go on
speaking and do not be silent; 10 for I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in
this city.” 11 And he settled there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Acts 19:9-10(NASB)9 But when some were becoming
hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the [a]people, he withdrew from them
and took away the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. 10 This took place for
two years, so that all who lived in [b]Asia heard the word of the Lord,
both Jews and Greeks.
Acts 13:5(NASB)5 When they reached Salamis,
they began to proclaim the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they also had
John as their helper.
Acts 14:25(NASB)
25 When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down
to Attalia.
We should not be to concern about the soil that we sow in we need to just sow the seed
1 Peter 1:23(NASB)
23 for you have been born again not of seed which is
perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and
enduring word of God.
The word of God is here to stay it’s imperishable
The word of the Kingdom is the seed that is imperishable that
will regenerate you
Born again- to regenerate,to father a new,
to bring into existence again
John 3:1-(NASB)3 Now there was a man of the
Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; 2 this man
came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a
teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless
God is with him.”
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you,
unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of
God.”4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when
he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?”
5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born
of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of
the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is
spirit.
7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born
again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the
sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who
is born of the Spirit.”
1. A christian has experience two begatings
2. A christian practice sin
1 John 3:9(NASB)9 No one who is born of God
practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot
sin, because he is born of God.
1 Peter 1:3-10(NASB)3 Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade
away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are protected by
the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
