The Sower and The Seed Camille Walls
Friday, April 6, 12
The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side, and great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying behold, a sower went fort to sow; and when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: some fell upon stony places where they had not much earth; and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: and 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 sprung up, and choked them: but other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Matthew 13: 1-8

To protect yourself from spiritual rabbits you must put poisons [the Lord] on your plants so they won`t be destroyed by rabbits.
Do you think singing songs to God and praying can poison Satan? Yes, because when we are singing to the Lord we cannot hear Satan. The lord always likes us to sing to him. When we pray to the Lord Satan cannot get into our minds. When we pray that is our solemn communication to the Lord that Satan cannot take away. Satan cannot take away prayer and singing from use.

Rocks are stumbling blocks, sin, and distractions that Satan throws at us to make us fall. In order for me to know how to get the rocks that are preventing me from being on good ground out of my way, I must read and study my bible every day. Friday, April 6, 12
Reading my bible will help my root system penetrate that good ground and begin growing. The more deeply rooted in the word of I become the more I am fed the nutrients needed to have a good clean life.

A healthy plant needs water. The Holy Spirit is that water that I need to help keep me going. Like a plant’s roots, I have to absorb and accept all that the Lord and the Holy Spirit teaches me. Absorbing or taking in all that I am taught will help nourish me and help me when the sun or Satan is bearing down strong on me.

Spiritual weeds When you do your common cares more than your holy spiritual ones. When you do your common things on the Sabbath day. When you do not read your bible and go to the mall. Or when you do not have prayer on instead talk on the phone. Or when you instead of singing holy songs you sing carnal ones.You must put God on Top.You must perform holy things instead of carnal things.

A suitable place for the word of God to multiply and grow would be in a place with strong, healthy, fertile soil without any rocks. This type of foundation will help my roots take hold and begin growing. This suitable place would also have a never ending supply of fresh water, the Holy Spirit that my roots need to absorb and make nutrients for my plant.
Friday, April 6, 12
My roots must also store nutrients so when the sun is extremely hot my plant will still be fed and not shrivel up and die. The word of God will multiply and grow very well if weeds are removed at their roots and not allowed to grow up and kill the plant. Finally, my environment has to be free of little critters like rabbits and squirrels that eat plants.
