Mark 4
In the Great Reassessment, many have chosen FOOLISHLY, or allowed FEAR to drive them down a course of choices that have effectively UPROOTED them from where God chose to PLANT THEM. (Both location and habit or process)
Ephesians 3:16-19 NIV
We grow UP when we put our roots DOWN
Psalms 1:1-4, 6 NIV

God’s desire for your life and mine is that we would be strong, established, full of love, life, and blessing, and the only way that He’s made for that to happen is for us to be rooted.
Mark 4:3-12 NIV
The Kingdom of God is available to all who want to receive it.

LESSON #1 God’s work in our life depends on our OPENNESS
You HAVE TO come to a place where you are DONE WITH YOU and are ready to be BROKEN. THEN seed can enter and get ROOTED.
Mark 4:16-17 NIV
LESSON #2 God’s work in our life has to be a PERSONAL COMMITMENT.
Quick STARTS rarely result in good ENDINGS.

LESSON #3 God’s work in our life has to be our FIRST PRIORITY.
God cannot be A PRIORITY, He must be THE PRIORITY.

Destiny is not a MYSTERY, Destiny is daily HABIT.
Show me your HABITS and I’ll show you your FUTURE.

1. HEAR God’s Word
2. ACCEPT God’s Word
3. OBEY God’s Word
4. TALK about God’s Word.
