Have poisonous seeds been planted in your mind? You can almost count on it. Those who follow Jesus Christ are the children of Light, living life unto the Lord, so the enemy does not have much to work with during the day - so he works at night.
Seeds & Weeds will help you discover another perspective on the Parable of the Weeds, and how to address the surreptitious sowing of the enemy’s bastard wheat.

00:00welcome to marvel and mysteries my name is tracy thank you so much for joining me today i wanted
00:15to talk about the parable of the weeds but from a different perspective a different metaphorical
00:20lens than maybe you've heard of in the past because i don't know about you but there are
00:27times when i feel like the field of my mind has been ripped to shreds by weeds and tears and every
00:34nasty thing that seems to come bubbling up and i stumbled upon something in my journey through the
00:41bible and i wanted to share that i know as a sincere believer in the lord like you guys are
00:47that when somebody comes up with something from the word that can save you time stress agony pain and
00:55all of that if it has some good wisdom in there it's awesome to share it so i wanted to just share
01:00what the lord showed me when i was in my travels and what i want to do first is start through the
01:06actual parable itself from matthew 13 and then what it meant in terms of what jesus was talking about
01:13and then what it actually can look like through this other lens so here we are matthew 13 i'm going
01:21to start in the back half of verse 24 the kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his
01:28field but while everyone was sleeping his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away
01:35when the wheat sprouted and formed heads then the weeds also appeared the owner's servants came to him
01:43and said sir didn't you sow good seed in the field where then did the weeds come from and he said an
01:50enemy did this and the servants asked him do you want us to go and pull them up no he answered because
01:59while you are pulling the weeds you uproot the wheat with them let both grow together until the harvest
02:07at that time i will tell the harvesters first collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be
02:13burned then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn when jesus broke this down to to the disciples
02:21later this is what he said the meaning of the parable was to them he answered the one who sowed
02:27the good seed is the son of man the field is the world and the good seed stands for the people of the
02:35kingdom the weeds are the people of the evil one and the enemy who sows them is the devil okay so we've
02:43got the the general parameters that jesus was laying forth in this parable so that's his meaning and just
02:50what i'm presenting is an idea of looking at this parable with the field being our mind instead of
02:59being the entire world so with that you have the idea of good seed and bad seed and both grow together
03:09and they both require different nutrients and water things like that and it can be hard to tell the
03:15difference initially because the greenery can look the same and anyone who gardens when you first do
03:21have those seedlings in the ground when they first sprout and they're growing up oftentimes they look
03:26very similar until the leaves form moreover so let's say you love the lord and you are sowing all
03:35the good seed that you can into yourself you're you're reading you're studying you have your time of
03:40worship and prayer with the lord adoration unto the lord so you are filling yourself filling your your
03:47brain your mind with the best that you can and while you sleep the enemy sows the seeds of tares or
03:55otherwise weeds um and he just goes on from there he just casts his evil seeds there and then he just
04:02keeps on trucking and you are left with those when you wake up in the morning and he knows he that
04:10you're the children of light so that's why he does it and in i just want to clarify that in matthew 13
04:15when it says that the men were sleeping it is referring to actual physical sleep and physical rest
04:22though for the purposes of this you could actually metaphorically think of sleep as not only rest at
04:30night time in the terms of having dreams but also having that kind of indifference that sometimes if
04:36you get worn out uh we're human sometimes that happens and we have all of this this well of energy
04:42that comes from the lord but then there are some times when you just feel like you're tapped out
04:46and sometimes you can almost be kind of indifferent to things and so in a in a matter of speaking kind
04:54of be kind of asleep so when this happens when the enemy has done this to us and he's cast that seed
05:00i mean you have been seeded and those seeds are going to try to fight uh for the nutrients and they're
05:07going to fight to be watered just as you have like the word of the lord that is working within you
05:12and uh so those bad seeds can can grow if we are giving into it and i wanted to give you an example
05:20of something that had happened to me just to give you an idea of how this can work and and maybe this
05:26will register with some of you or and if it's something else then by all means if you feel like
05:30this has been done uh share it with the others in the comments that way everyone can learn together
05:34but this has happened to me a few different times over the course of my life and it just has here
05:39recently too where i would wake up in the morning and it would be a waking kind of dream right as i am
05:47coming to first thing in the morning and the dream is almost the same a slightly different variances but
05:55pretty much the same and in those dreams there's always someone who is either telling me how much they
06:02hate me or it's like i am a fly on the wall and i'm overhearing their conversation about me and it's
06:09really horrible or they're posting something really horrible on social media or something like that
06:15and this is not something that i struggle with or that i think about or things like that because the
06:21the odd thing is that in all of these occurrences the person in the dream is someone that i don't
06:28there's there's no there's no beef so to speak with them and uh so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense
06:34but nevertheless it is a bunch of negativity that hits me and it's right as i'm waking up
06:40and then what often happens is that during the course of that day like this last time no matter
06:45where i was or what i was doing uh there was always someone there to have something really negative to
06:51say or to act as though they were irritated with me or that i would be left with that feeling of oh my
06:58gosh well i've just been rejected by this person or they think i'm x y or z you can fill in the blank but
07:03this is kind of how that had manifested for me and i thought oh this it's not good it's not healthy
07:09it's a good thing when you know when this is an example of seeding in this case it's like seeding
07:15in a dream but this does happen to so many people so that's just one of those ways so the wheat and
07:23the tares going back to the idea of your mind the wheat and the tares they all need a sunshine to grow
07:29they all need to be watered in nutrients so again you need to be careful about what ends up getting
07:36seeded that you're not watering those things and and there's a reason why this makes a lot more sense
07:42that i'll share in a moment but in the parable the farmer is very clear to the servants not to go out
07:48and try to pull up the weeds because the root system can be intertwined with the wheat so while he's
07:55trying to pull up the weeds people can be pulling up the good stuff instead and that's not good because
08:00the roots are entangled and so there are multiple reasons if you think on that why jesus actually
08:08would have spoken about wheat and tares in the bible specifically for that people at that time
08:15and that is because tares which are called darnles um it's a it's a it's a plant and when it grows
08:23it looks nearly identical to wheat and it's difficult to tell the difference when they get
08:31older when the plants mature then the wheat will start to kind of and you've seen it i'm sure in
08:37photographs like it will start to kind of curve whereas the darnel will tend to stand upright so
08:44it's like the fool's gold but of like the plant the plant arena and another thing to note about it and
08:52why this is so important to the people at the time specifically was that wheat of course we know
08:58is a nutritious thing but the darnel on the other hand is poisonous so you can end up with you know
09:05at a at a at the at the best maybe a really bitter bread if you ended up with with some of its grains
09:11mixed in and on the bad end of things you know death because you were poisoned by the stuff and when
09:19you look at them initially that everything kind of looks a little bit the same and then wheat has
09:23more of a brown kernel and uh the darnel actually has a black kernel and for for you nerds this is
09:31strong's g2215 zidzanion and it's actually referenced as like this black seed wheat is nutritious whereas
09:41the darnel again is poisonous so what do we do knowing that and why that's why jesus would have
09:51used that in that parable then how do we address that in terms of the field of our mind when you
09:57have things that are growing that are from the lord and then things that have been seeded by the enemy
10:02and are poisonous so do we rip those up and i'm just thinking that based on how our brains are structured
10:11you can't make a genuine parallel to say the root system of plants is the exact same thing as as the
10:19neural network of our mind it's similar but it's not quite the same thing but there is some truth to
10:27how you water and how you focus and how you tend to those things that are going on in your mind
10:33and i believe that this is part of the reason why paul's letter to the philippians is so powerful
10:40and why you hear the verse quoted along a lot of times that you are to focus on whatever is true
10:48and good and noble and right and praiseworthy and excellent to focus on these things because when you
10:55are focused on something and it's repetitive and it's so good like that your neurons when they fire
11:03together like that they wire together so many of you have heard about neural pathways and how that
11:09works that's another thing you could think of it is it is like a wheat field in your mind when you
11:15have been conditioned or maybe triggered to go from zero to really ticked off over the years of maybe
11:21abuse from other people and feeling like your voice has been stolen from all these years you could get
11:27really angry really fast because that neural pathway has been paved already you've dealt with that issue
11:35a multitude of times so the wheat stalks so to speak have been bent over they've been trodden
11:41down and you can go bam so fast because of that happening because the focus has been there and your
11:48neural pathways have been have been built up in that way so we do have the ability actually to rewire
11:55ourselves that's part of neuroplasticity of our mind the neural networks and how that how that works and
12:02our neurons are carrying chemical and electrical signals back and forth they help our our brain to
12:09communicate with um with itself with uh other organs in the body and so if our focus is on those good
12:18things what is noble good right praiseworthy those are the pathways that we're really going to be
12:23building up and you can kind of starve out the ones that are not but what the enemy will try to do
12:30is to seed you with those negative things and then bring about circumstances that kind of cause you
12:37to be the one to water it and you have to come into agreement with all of it but he's very clever about
12:44the way he goes about that and then kind of bringing those those sets of circumstances around you so we
12:50have to be careful and really guard our minds for the things that would be coming in so when those
12:57situations happen that try to get you to focus on those bad seeds recognize what's going on and do
13:07your very best to refuse those seeds let your little neurons not come into agreement and not fire
13:16now obviously at nighttime when you're sleeping that's a bit more difficult because if you're if you're just
13:22at rest you may not even notice that these things are taking place some people do some people
13:27your spirits are so sensitive that the moment that starts to happen you're up you're at it you're already
13:33saying nope i don't receive that i'm not gonna allow that to come into my being on any level whatsoever and
13:40you can fend it off but that's not always going to be the case especially if you're if you're very tired
13:45in your in your body you might not be able to so just be aware of that and then remember that when when it
13:53comes to seeds and and like the bad seeds is that a lot of these things can really masquerade as good
14:01things for us so a couple of examples fear can often masquerade as wisdom and so can doubt and unbelief
14:12those can also really masquerade as wisdom so sometimes people can dress that stuff up and the enemy
14:20certainly will try to after all he kind of has his his game of did god really say kill steal destroy
14:31it's the same thing he's just a very very good manipulator and he's very good at partial truths
14:39and taking a little spot in your life that maybe you're struggling with and you're praying through
14:44and then using that to exploit something else altogether to make sure that you stay off of the
14:50path that god has you on because he can't have that hub he can't have you standing up one day and
14:57ruining things for him and getting in the way so i hope that made some sense uh in terms of what kind
15:05of what i was gathering is looking at the mind and looking that as a field that can grow wheat or it can
15:13grow these horrible things that the enemy has done a drive-by seating and just dumped some really awful
15:18things in so recognize those negativity and the negative thoughts that come and take those thoughts
15:27captive to the obedience of christ so let's pray for a moment lord we give you the wheat field of our
15:34minds we give them to you and we know that we have the mind of christ and the enemy seeks to cast
15:42those wicked seeds in us lord and so we thank you god for crop failure to the enemy's seeds
15:51and teach us to take all of those thoughts captive to the obedience of christ and that we would focus
16:00on what is good true noble and praiseworthy that we would think on those things that we would be
16:07transformed by the renewing of our mind and in all things we would put on love we would put on christ
16:15and move forward accordingly that we would not be downtrodden and that we are the head and not the
16:22tail that we are first and not last and that we're chosen by you lord so help us to do that this week
16:29and every day in jesus name amen thank you so much for watching
