Matthew 13:12
Because whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have more; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
whoever has to him will be given and you
will have more now some make this about
money but it isn’t if we look at the
verse that precedes that it precedes
that Matthew 13 verse 11 then it makes
it very clear what the Lord is speaking
about and he said to them in answer to
you is given the knowledge of the
secrets of the kingdom of heaven but to
them it is not given to whom the
disciples said to him why do you say
things to them in the form of story
why parable why all the stories in the
scripture to make a division to you is
given the knowledge of the secrets of
the kingdom of heaven but to them it is
not given a simple test do you know the
meaning of the parables or do you well
they’re just things that are to be taken
literally in the world you why because
whoever has to him will be given
whoever has what knowledge of the
kingdom of God
knowledge of God
whoever has to him will be given and he
will have more but from him who has not
even what he has will be taken away not
about money not about land about any of
those things but it’s about the
knowledge of the kingdom of God Matthew
13 the mysteries of the kingdom of God
at the end both do those who profess is
the right word both those who follow the
Lord and those who do not sinners and
saints will come to an end and the work
of those who believe and have faith in
Him is to plant the Word of God in the
world in faith in faith not expecting to
change everyone or anyone but it’s in
expectance of his coming for he will
come and he will make a division between
the good and a bad the Saints and the
sinners making an end of sinners setting
up his kingdom
the parables one of the parables that I
that are interesting but there are also
well dangerous is the one of the mustard
seed in Matthew 13 muster see this
brought forward and some say that the
mustard seed and 11 teach that the
conversion of the whole world will
happen in this age by the preaching of
the gospel this cannot be true why not
because in the end he will come in
clouds of glory judging every man for
his works if all are converted by
preaching of the gospel well there’s no
one to judge and he will first raise up
those who died in Christ and afterwards
he will take up with those he rose up
those who are still alive in Christ if
all are converted by the preaching of
the gospel then it should just read he
will take up all
the wheat and the tares contradicted for
if all are converted by the preaching of
the gospel
there will be no wheat there will be
wheat all of it would be wheat there
will be no tears
so the leaven and a mustard seed and
it’s true interpretation is different
leaven is mostly bad a means corruption
Lebanon the Pharisees mostly used as a
symbol of my own not so good things are
being done the mustard seed pictures
chosen a strange thing the smallest of
seeds bringing forth the greatest of
trees
unsubstantial growth of the outward
Church the church that is a church to
Christ in appearance outwardly it’s
always a mustard seed
it’s always a giant Church a mustard
seed turn into a mustard tree but if we
turn to Daniel chapter 4 verse 20 the
tree which you saw which became tall and
strong stretching up to heaven and seen
from the ends of the earth which had
fair leaves and much fruit and had in it
food for all under which the beasts of
the field were living and in the
branches of which the birds of heaven
had their resting places it is you O
king who have become great and strong
for your power is increased and
stretching up to heaven and your rule to
the end of the year
sounds great verse 23 and as for the
vision which the Kingsolver watcher a
holy one coming down from heaven saying
let the tree be cut down and given to
destruction remember when the Lord
Himself came when the Lord Himself came
he had twelve apostles he had 120 people
praying in a room after after he was
crucified 120 70 disciples certainly not
a great tree
so when you see signs of outward
greatness be careful for signs of
outward greatness churches with
gazillions of members big buildings all
of that remember that one same you are
great o king you are great o king
your rule is great but as for that
vision where you saw a watcher a holy
one coming down from heaven saying let
the tree be cut down and given to
destruction
remember that God is one Christ this one
one spirit working in different ways
through all God has no need of great
numbers of big trees of huge buildings
for even in that New Jerusalem
revelations there is no temple but God
and the lamb are the temple and there is
nothing no great chandelier of light or
no great Sun that gives light for God
lights it and a light thereof is the
lamb and the lamb is in us and we in him
as he is in God and God in we the people
who are taken up light up
light up for we are in the light
amen amen
blessed be our Lord who says that
whoever has whoever seeks whoever asks
will receive whoever seeks will find
whoever knocks on the door will be left
seeking asking searching whoever does
that for the kingdom of God whoever is
searching for the kingdom of God whoever
has to him will be given and he will
have even more so keep searching I pray
I pray that at all times you may keep
searching for the kingdom of God for the
Lord God himself for the knowledge of
who he is in you what he has done for
you and what his plan for you is and
that you may preach and speak the Word
of God not expecting to impress anyone
for there’s that popular people will
drop you in a minute God will hold you
up forever but people will drop you in a
minute but that you may preach and speak
the Word of God in expectation of his
coming as your personal offering of your
tent to the Lord God Almighty amen let
us do our reading Lord give us your word
speak with your voice speak unto the
hearts of those
under the power of your voice in Jesus
mighty name amen
Matthew 13 Matthew 13 verse 1 on that
day Jesus went out of the house and was
seated by the seaside and great numbers
of people came together to him so that
he got into a boat and the people took
up their position by the sea and he gave
them teaching in the form of a story
saying a man went out to put seed in the
earth and while he did so some seeds
were dropped by the wayside and a birds
came and took them for food and some of
the seed went among the stones where it
had not much earth and straightaway it
came up because the earth was not deep
straightaway and when the Sun was high
it was burned and because it had no root
it became dry and dead and some seeds
went among thorns and the torrents came
up and they had no room for growth and
some falling on good earth gave fruit
some 100 some sixty some thirty times as
much he who has ears let him give ear
and the disciples came and said to him
why do you say things to them in the
form of stories and he said to them in
answer to you is given the knowledge of
the secrets of the kingdom of heaven but
to them it is not given because whoever
has to him will be given and he will
have more but from him who has not even
what he has will be taken will be taken
away
for this reason I put things into the
form of stories because they see without
seeing and give ear without hearing and
a sense is not clear to them and none
none who see without seeing and give ear
without hearing not who look without
seeing without being able to see or hear
or listen without being able to hear
what is sad none of them come and say
hey I didn’t understand that why do you
say this Center none of them the sense
is not clear to them and so they just go
on the literal meaning of the words but
scripture is about spirit and the
earthly things described in it are just
a reflection of something that’s going
on spiritually it’s just trying to put
into something understandable to man
what is going on in heaven they see
without seeing and give ear without hear
I pray that when you see and look for
God you may see him that it pleases him
that you see and it pleases him that you
give ear and he lets you see his kingdom
and he lets you hear his word in your
soul through spirit for God is spirit
blessed be your own
verse 14 and for them the words of
Isaiah have come true though you give
ear you will not get knowledge see
though you give ear you will not get
knowledge and seeing you will see but
the sense will not be clear to you you
won’t know what yours for the heart of
this people has become fat and their
ears are slow in hearing and their eyes
are shut for fear that they might see
with their eyes and give hearing with
their ears and become wise in their
hearts and be turned again to me so that
I might make them well and here we were
thinking well Jesus wants us all to come
this is the book of Mathew the New
Testament this is the book of Matthew
there is no Old Testament stuff that
doesn’t apply to us for all of the Bible
all then you apply the old was done away
because men corrupted it in their
interpretation and usage of it
but a blessing but a blessing beyond
your eyes because they see and on your
ears because they are open amen
for truly I say to you that prophets and
upright man had a desire to see the
things which you see and saw them not
and to have knowledge of the words which
have come to your ears and they had it
not give ear then to the story of the
man who put seed in the earth who put
the seed when the word of the kingdom
comes to anyone and the sense of it is
not clear to him then the evil one comes
and quickly takes away that which was
put in his heart so get is clear as soon
as the sense of it is not clear to you
don’t think oh I got to do things my own
have this that is pride pride is the
downfall of man and what happens is that
the evil one comes you give him an
advantage and quickly he takes away that
which was put in that man’s heart
and that man is the seed becomes then
the seed dropped by the wayside and that
which went on the stones this is he who
hearing the word straightaway takes it
with joy but having no root in himself
having no root in himself he goes on for
a time and when trouble comes or pain
because of the word he quickly becomes
full of doubts hmm and that which was
dropped among the thorns this is he who
has the word and the cares of this life
and he worries about the things of this
life and the deceits of wealth acquiring
and maintaining it the cares of this
life and the deceit of wealth put a stop
to the growth of the word and it gives
no fruit in many churches they preach
about money what you have to do to get
it how much money they need who will
give money here and there money money
money
the Word of God says you cannot worship
maman and God at the same time you
cannot have two kings the one who has
the cares of this life of this world and
a deceit of wealth thinking that it will
make you better off those thoughts those
thoughts where do they be in an
organization or a person they put a stop
to the growth of the word and it gives
no fruit
and the seed which was put in good earth
this is he who gives ear to the word and
gets the sense of it
who gives fruit some a hundred some
sixty some thirty times as much and he
gave them another story saying the
kingdom of heaven is like a man who put
good seed in his field but while men
were sleeping one who had hate for him
came and put evil seed evil seeds among
the grain and went away but when the
green stem came up and gave fruit the
evil plants were seen at the same time
and the servants of the master of the
house came and said to him sir did you
not put good seed in your field how then
has it evil plans and he said someone
has done this in hate for the purpose of
the enemy it’s not to hinder you but to
destroy you for he hates you why for the
Lord God of hosts said I will create man
and man shall man shall have rule over
the angels now everybody thinks a lot of
strange things about it but what God was
saying is I will come down in the form
of a man and as a man I will have rule
over the angels for he has rule over
everything already and also have
knowledge of him and who are called an
answer to his call and whom he anoints
the enemy hates them because they have
ruled over
someone has done this in heat and the
servants say to him is it your pleasure
that we go and take them up but he says
no for fear that by chance while you
think of their evil plans you may be
rooting up the green quit them let them
come up together till the getting in of
the green and then I will say to the
workers take up first the evil plans and
put them together for burning but put
the green into my storehouse another
form of telling people about the second
coming where every man will be judged
and those who died in Christ the good
seed or those who are still alive in
Christ the good seed will be taken up to
that new city his storehouse of
blessings he put another story before
them Matthew 13 verse 31 saying the
kingdom of heaven is like a grain of
mustard seed which a man took and put in
his field which is smaller than all
seeds but when it has come up it is
greater than the plants and becomes a
tree so that the birds of heaven come
and make their resting places in its
branches another story he gave to them
the kingdom of heaven is like leaven
which a woman took and put in three
measures of meal till it was all
leavened
he’s not explaining what these things
are he is just trying to explain how the
kingdom of
is it started small it starts small with
men but it grows and grows and grows and
that man becomes a great tree we’re the
Angels come and visit it is like leaven
because once you put leaven into
something it changes the nature of that
something that is what the kingdom of
heaven doesn’t man it changes but he’s
not speaking about trees or mustard
cream or about leaven he’s trying to
explain the kingdom of heaven a mustard
seed has nothing to do with the kingdom
of heaven Levin has nothing to do with
the kingdom of heaven it’s just the
thing in and by itself but to make clear
to those who are hearing he’s explaining
something heavenly in a way by means of
something that they know so that they
might have an idea Matthew 13 verse 34
all these things Jesus said to the
people in the form of stories and
without the story he said nothing to
them then it might come true which was
said by the prophet opening my mouth I
will give out stories I will give
knowledge of things kept secret from
before all time then he went away from
the people and went into the house and
his disciples came to him saying make
clear to us the story of the evil plants
in the field and he made answer
said he who puts this good seed in the
earth is the son of man I am he who puts
the good seed in the earth remember John
one all things were created for him and
by him and a field is the world and a
good seed is the sons of the kingdom
those elected and selected and evil
seeds are the sons of the Evil One and
you put them in the earth is Satan and a
getting in of the grain is the end of
the world and those who get it in are
the Angels the harvesters some people
say oh I’m a I’m a Reaper I’m a Reaper
well read your gospel a new please and
he who put them in the earth is Satan
he who puts the sons of the Evil One on
earth is Satan it is his spirit that is
in that man but that man has to reject
Christ and accept Satan but the getting
in the harvesting is going to be done by
the angel and then the evil plants are
got together and burned with fire so
will it be in the end of the world the
Son of Man will send out his angels and
they will take out of his kingdom
everything which is a cause of error
and all those who do wrong and we’ll put
them into the fire there will be weeping
and cries of sorrow then will the
upright be shining as the Sun in the
kingdom of their father then will the
upright be shining as the Sun in the
kingdom of their father he who has ears
let him give ear I am weary I turned
suspicious of people who say of or of
whom is said that they shine as the Sun
for the word of God says that when all
that reaping is done when the tears have
been put on the fire and burnt then will
the upright be shining as the Sun in the
kingdom of their farm the dead go to
rest and also died in Christ they are
just resting but they will be taken up
with him after he has come then will the
upright be shining as the Sun let him
who has ears let him give ear the
kingdom of heaven Jesus is explaining
the kingdom of heaven all angles and
aspects of it by giving stories the
kingdom of heaven is like a secret store
of wealth in a field like a pot of gold
hid in a field
now don’t go digging up four pots of
gold because then you’re just searching
for mama
it is like
a secret store of wealth in a field
which a man came across and put back
again and in his joy he goes and gives
all he has to get that feel once you
have seen the kingdom of heaven
you give up your all just to constantly
be in that kingdom of heaven doesn’t
matter what the world does or things
again the kingdom of heaven is like a
trader searching for beautiful jewels
and having come across one jewel of
great price he went and gave all he had
in exchange for it as is like doesn’t
mean it is so just for you to be able to
conceptualize it it’s like again the
kingdom of heaven is like a net which
was put into the sea and took him every
sort of fish when it was full they took
it up on the sands and seated there they
put the good into vessels but the bad
they put away now everyone please answer
for yourself he’s saying the kingdom of
heaven is the second coming
again the kingdom of heaven is like a
net which was put into the sea and took
him every sort of fish when it was full
they took it up on the sands and seated
there they put the good into vessels but
the bad they put away there is a harvest
either of plants or a fish it doesn’t
matter
these things are not the thing itself
but they are used to explain to you how
the kingdom of heaven works the kingdom
of heaven has control over everything so
it harvests everything and then makes a
division by the Word of God for the Word
of God is a light is light notice is but
is like two edged sword making a
division between bone and muscle between
good cutting away the bad putting it
away throwing it into the fire different
forms of saying the same thing there
will be a selection a selection will be
made make certain you’re on the well on
the right side of that selection Matthew
13 verse 49 so will it be in the end of
the world so will it be in the end of
the world the angels will come and take
out the bad from the good and will put
them into the fire there will be weeping
and cries of sorrow are all these things
no clear to you they say to him yes and
he said to them for this reason every
scribe every scribe who has become a
disciple of the kingdom of heaven
is like the owner of a house who gives
out from his store things new and old
and when Jesus had come to the end of
these stories he went away from there
and coming into his country coming into
his country he gave them teaching in
their synagogue so that they were
greatly surprised and said where did
this man get this wisdom and these works
of power it’s not this the woodworkers
son they always try to be me and make
common the sons of the Lord it’s not
this the woodworkers son it’s not his
mother named Mary and his brothers James
and Joseph and Simon and Judas and his
sisters are they not all with us are
they not all on our side from where dan
has he all these things we know we know
his family we know where he came from
none of them could have given him this
even his sisters are with us from where
has he all these things and they were
bitter against him envy and jealousy the
trademarks of the evil one
and of his King and they were bitter
against him but jesus said to them a
prophet is nowhere without honor but in
his country and among his family
and the works of power which he did
there were small in number because they
had no fate for the Lord to do something
for you you must have faith for a man of
God to do something for you you must
have faith if you have no faith you
might as well not worry with you for if
even the Lord could not do many works of
power where there was not faith
what can his humble servants do it’s up
to you
have faith have faith blessed be your
Lord and I pray that you have some
knowledge of the kingdom of God now so
that you may have so that you may be
given more so that you may have more of
the kingdom of God in you in Jesus
mighty name amen
blessed be our Lord let the Holy Spirit
increase amen
