And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured it. Mark 4.4

The Holy Spirit is a Sower by excellence; He is wise, able, and ready to sow the Seed that will produce the faith that we need to be victorious in our crises. The Seed is the Word of God, which is of good quality and has the power to fulfill its mission. If we are not in the Way, the seed will fall by the wayside. Then, even considering all that it could do in our lives, nothing will happen.

The Seed is sent to generate faith and will do the work in the right way. However, those who stand by the wayside are not qualified to be blessed. In what the Lord tells you, there is nothing lacking. There is no problem that the Word cannot solve, no sickness that it cannot heal, no blessing that cannot happen. It comes straightly from the heart of God. If we are in communion with the Father, when we receive faith, we will be able to praise Him for the victory.

It can be said that the Seed is the Word of your fate. However, if you do not hold tight to it in your heart, it will not fructify. However, in the Final Judgment, it will be a witness of accusation against you. Since it was sent to give solution to your problems, it did not accomplish it only because you did not pay attention to it. Besides the loss you will now have, its testimony will accuse you forever. Have mercy, Lord!

We only have one place to be: in the Way, and not out of it. Those who do not seek God’s will are not in Christ, even if they say they are (Jo 14.21). Many people find time for everything except to serve the Lord. It is not enough to know hymns, to pray in a way that everyone is impressed with the Biblical quotes, or to show firmness in the faith. It is necessary to be in the Way.

There is no difference between the seeds that are cultivated in good land. They possess the power to fulfill the work announced by God, and so they guarantee a perfect production. However, in case you walk away from Jesus, the demon will steal whatever you have, and maybe you might say that the Lord deceived you by not fulfilling what He promised. The seed that falls along the Way has no defects. However, those who are careless will certainly waste it.

The demons are experts in the work of devouring the seed. It is obvious that they work a lot for a Christian not to be consecrated. Therefore, they are capable of making the most charming person convince you that being in love with someone other than your spouse is not a sin. Be aware! Never accept the enemy’s offers.

Those who are on the wayside listen to the Word and cannot hold on to the Seed, for this is a prerogative for the Lord’s faithful people. Now, the seed is given so that the complete work might be done in them. However, since they do not want to be firmed in the faith, they have no strength to hold on to their healing, salvation, forgiveness, and the complete solution to their problems.

In Christ, with love,
