Constant Spiritual Assault

Cares of this world.

Deceitfulness of riches.

The Lust of other things.

Enduring for a time, then giving up.

Affliction, persecution arising.

Satan instantly distracting.

Who among us can say we aren't susceptible to such as these?

Constantly we are bombarded by things that would steal the Word of God from us!

CONSTANT SPIRITUAL ASSAULT, this is the life of one who belongs to Christ Jesus, our Savior.

Our Savior would have His WORD of truth go to all! 

Yet as soon as His word touches the heart and the conversion begins Satan is right there doing all he can to stop that conversion. Satan does NOT want a single person to be converted, not a single one.

In the world of eternal life there is not ONE single person who is more important to God than another.  Likewise, there is not a single person on earth that is more important to Satan than another.  God and Satan want all of us, a single person is the same to them as any other person as far as eternal importance.  It is only US here on earth, us human beings who place more importance upon one person than another.

Before you start talking about God's prophets- His chosen- realize this- those who are His chosen are those who chose to belong to Him, their hearts belonged to God, not to themselves, by their choice. None were FORCED to be His. 

To Satan the richest person is a notch in his belt just the same as the poorest if they choose to be his, not God's.

To God, the richest and the poorest doesn't matter, their choosing to be His is all that matters.

You and I will face ALL manner of situations and each one will be geared towards luring us from God.   As long as we keep living, learning, loving the truth the Word of God, through all those situations, we will remain God's. It's when we are drawn away from the Word of God that we falter, and fall.

Please FATHER, keep us in YOUR WORD OF TRUTH letting NOTHING draw us away, not a single thing!  All through our SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

Mar 4:3  Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

Mar 4:4  And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

Mar 4:5  And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

Mar 4:6  But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

Mar 4:7  And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

Mar 4:8  And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

Mar 4:9  And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Mar 4:10  And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

Mar 4:11  And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

Mar 4:12  That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

Mar 4:13  And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

Mar 4:14  The sower soweth the word.

Mar 4:15  And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

Mar 4:16  And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

Mar 4:17  And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

Mar 4:18  And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

Mar 4:19  And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

Mar 4:20  And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
