I was pondering over the parable of the soils in Matthew today and something that really stuck out to me in Matthew 13:21 is that the troubles and tribulations come BECAUSE OF THE KINGDOM MESSAGE sown into the heart. This points out that those who start to comprehend the truth of God's Kingdom become targets of the enemy. He is prowling around watching for the "light bulb" to come on so that he can take out the planted Word before it is able to take root. Once it takes root, it is difficult for the enemy to devour us. God is looking for His people, His victorious over-comers, not those "getting-by-ers" or "better than they-ers". We need to be intentional in preparing our own soil (heart), ridding it of rocks and thorns (cares), readying it to receive the Word. Then we must continue to be diligent to nourish our own "plot" or garden (heart) with water and fertilizer (Truth/Worship), protecting it from pests (the enemy) and scorching sun (our shallowness) so that we reap a great harvest for our Lord!
Hi Chad Gonzales: I can see your "frustration" as you push the way you churn God's Word for your viewers. Yes, it is true that believers, like me, only learn these teachings or truths as we listen to you. Thank you for the clarity.
Chad, the English language is very vague and words can mean a multitude of things to different people. That includes many of these verses you've read. Their meaning can be interpreted in many ways. That's the issue when translating from much older and richer languages to a young language like English. Here's an example of what I mean from something you said: Healing being available (because of Jesus) and healing being a done deal (because of Jesus) are the same thing to me. I see no difference between the two. But my main issue, as I'm sure you already know, is why is healing seem harder and more confusing than what we see in the gospels? Seriously if I have to watch a "how-to" video then that means it's already too complex. Did anyone in the gospels have to watch a how-to video? And I'm not suggesting that growing in Christ is bad or renewing your mind to kingdom realities is a bad thing. Quite the opposite. But when these things come across as a "requirement" to "see" healing manifest in your body then that's when the alarms in my spirit go off. Again because no one in the gospels faced such requirements. This simplicity can not be ignored. It is illogical to think that a "sinner" under the Old Covenant could simply come to Jesus as they are and be healed. But now today, as Sons of God, under a New (and better) Covenant there's now all of these f'n hoops to jump through. How about people in the OT like Abraham. How would he have "received" healing if needed? That is my issue with all of this Chad. At 15:00 you said we have to look to Jesus. EXACTLY. That's what the people in the gospels did and that's what all of us are doing too as best as we can. Jesus didn't tell someone they need to go home and understand some things first before they would receive healing. He didn't tell someone to stop looking at their bodies otherwise they wouldn't be healed. He didn't tell them they have look at themselves a certain way before he would heal them. Is healing a A FREE GIFT or does the FREE GIFT now have stipulations? Do you not see how backwards that is? Is Jesus the same yesterday as well as today or not? So back to the language thing. In my view looking to Jesus inside of me to manifest healing is the same as someone back in the gospels going to Jesus for healing. Only difference is the location of the healer. In the gospels the person had to actually walk up to Jesus. For me, I simply have to look to him inside of me. That's how I look at it. But there's a reason why there are boatloads of healing teachings how there. Why? Because the topic has become too f'n complicated. That's why. Quick comparison of an OT sinner in the gospels receiving healing (results) and a NT Saint today... OT Sinner 1. Go to Jesus 2. Get healed NT Saint 1. Renew your mind to who you are 2. Be less carnally-minded 3. Be more spiritually-minded 4. Stop looking at your symptoms 5. Understand a long list wonderful-sounding but vague bible verses about yourself 6. Renew your mind to what you have 7. Control your thoughts 8. Control your imaginations 9. Get rid of your unbelief 10. Watch tons of how-to teachings on healing 11. Then you might start experiencing healing Number 1-10 are self constructed barriers that we are adding to what should simply be a free gift. This is how it all looks to me Chad. I mean no offense towards you and what you teach whatsoever. I think you're closer to the target than most. My comments simply represent much of my own frustration over the years as well as the frustration of countless others I'm sure. But I very much agree the union aspect of Christ in us needs to be shouted from the rooftops.
Wonderful and awesome truth! I pray that the body of Christ will grasp this Truth 🙏
The world needs to hear this!!!
Mighty much needed revelations🔥🔥🔥
