See Matthew 13:1-23, Mark 4:1-20, and Luke 8:1-15. I believe the primary interpretation of the parable concerns fruitfulness of God’s Word in a person’s life, rather than it being restricted to a discourse on who gets into heaven or not. The parable tells a story about a person who sows seed, and the seeds fell in four specified environments: the wayside, on rocky ground, among thorns, and in fertile soil. Jesus explains that the seed is the word of God, and the four soils represent those who hear the preaching of the word.  In relating the parable to spiritual warfare, Jesus expressly states that Satan removes the word from the hearts of those who do not understand its meaning (at the wayside). Although Jesus does not describe the devil’s participation any further, I believe that the whole of scripture provides ample evidence that the devil is at work throughout the full story.

(2 Timothy 3:10-17) "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account."

We teach Christian soldiers how to secure victory in spiritual warfare through personal evangelism, discipleship, and teamwork (in the local church) in order to destroy the works of the devil in our generation.      Our speaker, Robert S. Sims, served in the US Army as an infantry sergeant for twenty years. His primary duty was to train small teams in preparation for combat. Since military retirement, he now serves in the Lord's army and is still teaching soldiers - good soldiers of Jesus Christ - and serves as the associate pastor in his sending church, Randle Baptist Church, in Washington State. He is also available to speak in local churches. 00:59:00Battle Focused MinistriesnoChristian,Bible,devotion,Jesus,spiritual warfareEphesians 6: 18-20 Sergeant's Time - a podcast of Battle Focused Ministries      The purpose of this broadcast is to help local churches by enhancing situatiohttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/battlefocused-christianwarfare/2014/03/28/prayer-warriors-the-good-fight-of-faith-part-nineChristianityhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/battlefocused-christianwarfare/2014/03/28/prayer-warriors-the-good-fight-of-faith-part-nine/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/battlefocused-christianwarfare/2014/03/28/prayer-warriors-the-good-fight-of-faith-part-nineFri, 28 Mar 2014 23:00:00 GMTPrayer Warriors | The Good Fight of Faith: Part NineText: Ephesians 6:18-20  Survival and victory on a physical battlefield often depend upon constant, accurate, and timely communication - with leaders, with peers, and with subordinates.

Sentries who sleep while on duty endanger the lives of everyone who depend upon their vigilance. Teamwork is essential for survival: one sleeps while the other stands guard. Soldiers must be trained repetitively in marksmanship, tactics, techniques, battle drills, and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Plus, they must be physically and mentally conditioned to endure the extreme demands placed upon them in battle. During Army training, we sometimes grumbled about the conditions as “practicing being miserable”. Soldiers spend many hours maintaining all of their equipment so that it will perform in a few, deadly minutes of combat in the face of enemy fire.
