The Seed and the Heart – The Parable of the Sower Explained

Alright, brothers and sisters, everyone in this room could quote this verse of Scripture whole and complete. I want you to notice that there is, here again, the speaking voice. The speaking voice. Brothers, may the Lord give the church in Goleta, California, the heart to hear, to respond to the voice, to loosen the soil, and to let the Lord grow in the heart.

This verse of Scripture says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock.” Everybody in this room knows that this passage of Scripture was not written to unconverted people…and it is not written to the church. It is written to those within the church. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hears my voice and opens the door, I’ll come in to him and sup with him, and he with me. Praise the Lord. All my life, I saw the picture of the Lord Jesus standing out there trying to get in, trying to get into the man’s heart. Oh, open the door and let me in. Brothers, that’s not the way it is at all. It’s not that way at all. The Lord Jesus Christ is deep inside, and He’s knocking, and He’s asking, “Let me out!” And you respond, and you open the door.
