We have been discussing the laws of prosperity and particularly
have covered the promises of the hundredfold return as in
Mark 10:30. Now I want to examine some things Jesus taught
in Mark 4. Here again, Jesus speaks of the hundredfold return
in the parable of the sower. Let’s begin with verse 14:
The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the
way side, where the word is sown; but when they have
heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the
word that was sown in their hearts. And these are they
likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when
they have heard the word, immediately receive it with
gladness; And have no root in themselves, and so
endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution
ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they
are offended. And these are they which are sown among
thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this
world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of
other things entering in, choke the word, and it
becometh unfruitful. And these are they which are sown
on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it,
and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and
some an hundred.
Jesus is teaching here about the Word of God. The very
first rule—the predominant rule—about believing God is faith
cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Acting
on God’s Word brings results. You should act on His Word as
quickly as you would the word of a doctor, a lawyer, or a trusted
friend—regardless of what your circumstances dictate and
regardless of what your physical senses tell you. Acting on
God’s Word as the truth brings forth faith. Faith comes into
action and causes the laws of the world of the spirit to function
and bring results.
