THE FARM OF EVIL PLANTERS

MATTHEW 13:24-28

INTRODUCTION

These are the lost days and they are extremely dangerous days. The Bible makes us to understand that part of the signs of the last days is that the enemy of man’s soul is going to be much more horrible and wicked. The Bible says that evil men and women shall wax stronger and stronger. Therefore we must become stronger in the Lord. There is so much spiritual condemnation in the spiritual realm that each one of us as true believers must know how to deliver self.

I.  THREE WAYS OF DELIVERANCE FROM THE POWER OF DARKNESS

1. Deliverance By Spiritual Growth

• As one grows up spiritually as a Christian, childish things depart from your life (I Cor 13:11-12, Cor. 3:1-3)
• Prayer become much more powerful, there is more fire-power that something will find it uncomfortable and go out
• Your spiritual maturity can cause inconvenience to demon power. This is called deliverance by spiritual growth.

2. Deliverance By The Word Of God

• When you really read, study, meditate and apply the word of God
• When you let the word of God dwell in your body, soul and spirit, certain things cannot withstand that kind of salvation

3. The Ministry Of Spiritual War And Conflict

• This is what is called deliverance ministration
• When you declare a conflict against your enemies
• When you fire on until the enemy leaves.
• However, may people want immediate results not knowing that is most cases of deliverance the ground must be cleared and the farm or garden of their life must be fenced and sealed to prevent re-entry of Evil spirits. This process takes times
• Our life can be compound to a garden. Things, seed can actually be planted, whether good or evil
• The farmer planted good seed of wheat in his garden
• But when he was sleeping his enemy come and planted something evil there
• Not every garden can receive evil seed, because some gardens are too hot for the enemy
• For other gardens, they are warm and ever open for planting

II.  WHAT BREAKS DOWN A PERSON RESISTENCE OR IMMUNITY MAKING THE PERSON ACCESSIBLE FOR THE ENEMY TO PLANT WHATEVER HE LIKES.

• In (I Corinthians 15;55) – ‘O death, where is your STING’ O grave where is your victory?’
• The enemy uses the sting of death, the victory of the grave
• The insects that sting, have poisons in the body.
• If the evil deposits that the enemy plants in people, when they are asleep are not removed quickly it will results in serious problems
• When we are asleep spiritually or physically the enemy comes.
• The sting of death is sin, sin makes us sleep
• Such evil must be uprooted – in Jesus name
• The sting of death is so painful that Jesus Christ sweated blood to remove it.
• The sting of death made Jesus Christ to cry out on the cross “My God, why has thou forsaken me”
• The garden of your life, must reject evil plantation in the Name of Jesus

III.  QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD

• Matt 5:20, Mark 10:15
• Our righteousness must exceed that of the Pharisees and the Scribes
• Our reception of the kingdom of God must be as a little child (Luke 18:10-12)

IV.  WHO WERE THE PHARISEES OF JESUS CHRIST DAYS?

• They were religious men, they were a body of teachers of the law. Jesus said they sat on the seat of Moses
• They were teachers and preachers, they run the school of law and synagogues.
• A Pharisees was a man of very high moral standards
• He knew the law, his way of life was very strong
• He maintained that the Jews must be separated from other people, no eating, mixing, doing business, they kept the law. They were not unjust or sexually immoral – now if our righteousness does not exceed that of the Pharisees, we will not enter the kingdom of God.

CONCLUSION

Prayer points to uproot that which the evil one has planted in our lives

1. Every tree of destruction planted in my life be uprooted now in Jesus Name
2. Every evil material planted be paralyzed in Jesus name
3. Every evil material planted in my life in the dark be uprooted – in the Name of Jesus Christ
4. Let every curse used against us go back to the sender – in the Name of Jesus Christ
