Reading the parable of the Sower, as a parable about the Holy Spirit (open?)

[Gottservant]

Hi there,

So this might open up your thinking about the Holy Spirit: the parable of the Sower, can be interpreted as being about the Holy Spirit.

We typically think that the Word of God can be about anything, that there are some who receive it and some who don't. But strictly speaking, the Word of God, which is sown, can strictly speaking, be about the Holy Spirit.

There are some that hear about the Holy Spirit at a distance, and it seems to mean nothing; there are some that compare the Holy Spirit with other persons, and fail to see the point; there are some that think nothing of attributing worldly attributes to the Holy Spirit, and they see no reason to trust Him; then there are those that receive the Holy Spirit, begin to hear the Word of God and trust it and do its works.

The dry ground, the stony ground, the ground with tares, and the good ground all reflect stages of spiritual discernment, about the importance of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

The more the Holy Spirit leads, the more we live!

I hope this has been of some encouragement.

God bless.

So this might open up your thinking about the Holy Spirit: the parable of the Sower, can be interpreted as being about the Holy Spirit.

Or you can consider that the parable of the Sower is all about the redemption of the nation Of Israel over a period of around 4,000 years from the time that God's presence entered Solomon's temple when it was dedicated during the 22 years of his reign around the year 932 BC.

When God beings to gather Israel to Himself, scripture tells us that God will plant them in His prepared fertile field scattered all over the earth. God has also undertaken that after he has begun gathering together the nation of Israel to Himself that he will begin teaching the nation of Israel the basis of God's religion based upon the stone, untouched by human hands, that comes down out of heaven that Jesus is the Son of God.

God also tells us that He will enter into a covenant of peace with the nation of Israel and for a period of time that He will remove the beasts from the face of the earth for a period of time of around 1,000 years. (Ezekiel 34.)
