24)And he said unto them,
take heed what ye hear, with
what measure ye mete, it
shall be measure to you; and
unto you that hear shall
more be given
25)For he that hath, to him
shall be given; and he that
hath not, from him shall be
taken even that which he
hath
|
AND HE SAID TO THEM TAKE
HEED WHAT YOU HEAR
Consider it, diligently attend
to it, seek understanding of
it, beware, take heed , lay it
up in your mind and
memorize it ,so that it may
be of use in time to come
and it may be useful in
communicating it to others,
pay attention to what you
hear, those who listen and
make a good improvement
by being attentive ,
considers, diligent in
learning, make good
improvement, by the ability
of what they hear,
That they may receive the
word not as seed by the way
side, or in thorny ground or a
chocked environment, but in
a good ground ‘ if you allow
the word of GOD but for a
little hearing, you will reap
from what ever you heard
of little profit and advantage,
and what you hear, so you
attend, understand, believe,
hearken and obey; GOD will
give further knowledge of
Divine mysteries.
|

Who carefully hearkens to
what they heard from
CHRIST, and studiously
labored to understand it, and
faithfully rightly divide the
word of truth to others, in
return, in a large measure,
and greater degree of
spiritual knowledge, shall be
rewarded and response will
be given more by his ability
to the extent that you know
spiritual truth and apply
godly wisdom, it will be
measured to him and greater
ability to response
,The more a man thinks the
more he will understand, and
the less a man thinks the less
his power of understanding
will become, whoso has
attention, knowledge will be
giving to him, and from him
who hath not, the seed of
knowledge will be taken from
him, for as diligence causes
that seed to grow, negligence
destroys it
FOR HIM THAT HATH, TO
HIM SHALL BE GIVEN
He that has the Gospel light,
diligently and earnestly study
and meditate on the word,
and have knowledge
upstanding it, and make
proper use of it, shall
increase more and more in
the knowledge of the truth:
his path shall be path of the
just, which shines more and
more to the perfect day and
shall be blessed with grace of
knowledges
But he that neglects them
and is inattentive shall
become ignorant; the few
things which he had learned
he will forget, and his tiny
knowledge will fade away,
the one who does not
improve what he retained, or
does not make proper use of
learning.

FOR WHOSOEVER HATH TO

Believers whosoever has the
true grace of GOD implanted
in him, has a saving
knowledge of CHRIST, and a
spiritual understanding with
the doctrine of the gospel,
improves by the light of
grace in diligently seeking
GOD’S, word abiding by it,
and continue with it, shall
increase in knowledge and
have more , a clear, and
distinct knowledge of GOD,
and things that the grace of
GOD will be implanted in him
to bear more fruit for the
kingdom of GOD,
But unbelievers/ false
teacher and hypocrites, go
into more ignorant and
darkness, which is rebellion
to GOD and the work of
Satan, the truth of grace, nor
spiritual knowledge of
CHRIST nor any experience of
the doctrine of the gospel.
They can see, but they
refuse to see; they can hear,
but they refuse to hear; they
are capable of
understanding, but they
|

refuse to accept the truth,
desiring to hold on to their
old religious traditions hath
no seed of GOD, a true root
of grace, in whom the seed of
GOD has not fallen as a good
ground, but only as in the
high way that is out ward
that is all about rituals,

11)And he said unto them,
unto you it is given to know
the mystery of the kingdom
of GOD; but unto them that
are without, all these things
are done in parables
12)That seeing they may see,
and not perceive; and
hearing they may hear, and
not understand; lest at any
time they should be
converted, and their sins
should be forgiven them
|
UNTO THEM UNTO YOU IT
IS GIVEN TO THE MYSTERY
GOD explains why he spoke
to the multitude in parables;
because most of them were
yet incapable of receiving the
Gospel; some would not
belief it, others reviled it,
which is given by my FATHER;
GOD according to the good
pleasure of his will, hath
given to some persons to
know the mysteries of the
kingdom of GOD, the law of
his kingdom, those who
come to JESUS with sincere
heart and honest desire to
known the truth, he reveals
the mysteries of GOD’S
kingdom to them
Therefore believers are

search out the words spoken
in parables, and humbly
inquire into the full
meaning,so that so they
might become able teacher
and efficient preachers of the
gospel
But they who are not pure.

indulge in their own lust and
|
|
errors, from them the little
knowledge of GOD will be
taken away, and they will
become all together blind to
the revealed mysteries of the
Kingdom
THAT SEEING THEY MAY SEE
AND NOT PERCEIVE
JESUS said the his followers
were permitted to
understand the secret of the
kingdom of GOD, that the
kingdom of GOD has come
that he as the CHRIST has
come to proclaim the
kingdom, that for outsider, it
all seemed like mysteries ,
that the mysteries are
intended to prevent
outsiders from
understanding it so that they
will not be able to repent and
be forgiven, which is an
intentional judgment on the
hearer, the resultant
unbelief of outsiders fulfilling
what the scripture has said in
ISAIAH 6:9-10
The hearer could not
understand the parable, as
they lack the grace of
citizenship in the kingdom of
GOD, which is the result of
the willful blindness of those
who reject him and his
doctrine, which is done by
the devil as the word did not
leave abiding impressions
upon the mind of men

38)Give, and it shall be given
unto you; good measure,
pressed down, and shaken
together, and running over,
shall men give into your
bosom, for with the same
measure that ye mete withal
it shall be measured to you
again
|
GIVE AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN
UNTO YOU
Believers should give
liberally of their worldly
substance to poverty-stricken
persons, needy and the poor,
as they have an opportunity,
according to their ability,
shall their given full of good
measure, they are to treat
others generously , and
compassionately by loving
one another, give in
conformity with the principle
of love bondless generosity ,
limitless kindness to all, we
must give to those in need,
this measure of blessing is an
illustration that comes from
the market place
As generous grain
merchant, he would top off
the buyer’s container, press
it down, shake it to make
more room, and pour until
the grain overflowed into the
buyer lap, where grain was
poured out, shaken down,
and then filled to overflowing
so the buyer received the full
|
|
amount procured , a man
who is himself kind to the
poor and needy, who has the
character established, will
find many who are ready to
help abundantly when he is
in want,
Help of such is the full
measure GOD himself will
measure our giving and in
return will give us, the
measure of blessing and
reward we receive will be in
proportion to how we have
generously given to other
who have lack or need that
will be returned to any one
that is generous

LUKE 8:17-18

17) For nothing is secret,
that shall not be made
manifest; neither any thing
hid, that shall not be known
and come abroad
18)Take heed therefore how
ye hear; for whosoever hath,
to him shall be given; and
whosoever hath not, from
him shall be taken even that
which he seemeth to have
|
FOR NOTHING IS SECRET
THAT SHALL NOT BE MADE
MANIFEST
Whatever was then covered
up in parables and in the
dark sayings, or was secretly,
and in a privately manner
committed to them, should
be made manifest by them
to others hereafter, neither
any thing hid, that shall not
be made known to them,
illustrating that truth and
light cannot be hid but must
be made visible or known
Take heed that you rid
yourselves of those things
which hinder your profiting
by the word: lest you hear
carelessly or with
intolerance and without self
application; lest you loose
what you have gained and
fail to be saved
|
|
So be careful how you listen
and hear, that you hear not
in a careless and negligent
manner, for whoever has a
teachable heart, to him more
understanding will be given
about the doctrine of the
gospel, and hath gift and
abilities to preach them to
others, to him shall be given
more knowledge and by
using his gift they shall be
increased,
whoever does not have a
longing for the truth of the
gospel, even what he thinks
he has ,will be taken away
from him, JESUS CHRIST
prefers diligent and faithful
hearers and doers of the
word, as you hear and obey
more light will be given

2)Every branch in me that
beareth not fruit he taketh
away; and every branch that
beareth fruit, he purgeth it,
that it may bring forth more
fruits

EVERY BRANCH IN ME THAT
BEARETH NOT FRUIT HE
TAKETH AWAY
Every
JESUS speaks of two
categories of branch:
o Fruitless and
o Fruitful
That is those who have
historical faith in him, believe
but for a while, and are
removed; they are such who
submit to outward rules,
guidelines regulation
ceremonies live in church
state , these branches are
unfruitful ones they bring
fruit to themselves, and not
to the glory of GOD, being
none of the fruit of his Spirt
and grace
|
|
The chief duties of the vine
dresser, is cutting of all
fruitless branches, in his
righteous judgment, and
entirely separates them from
JESUS, depriving them of all
the advantages for
fruitfulness, which they
derived or might have
derived, from their
connection with CHRIST and
their reception of his truth
and grace, every false vine
producing wild grape
ISAIAH 5:1-5
Fruitless branches that
cease to bear fruit are those
who no longer have life in
them, who does not bring
forth, with truth and
diligence that comes from
lasting faith in and the love of
CHRIST, these branches the
FATHER separate signifies to
cut of the branches that are
withered and perish, and are
good for nothing burn and
send to everlasting fire, cut
off from the vital union with
JESUS CHRIST
EVERY BRANCH THAT
BEARETH FRUIT HE PURGETH
THAT IT MAY BRING MORE
Everyone that is a truly a
follower of CHRIST that is
united to him by faith, and
truly derives grace and
strength from him as
influenced by the Holy Spirit,
who mortifies and destroys
what is still corrupt in their
affection and dispositions,
with what remains in them of
the carnal mind, will bear
fruits, that is he is filled with
with all the fruits of the
Spirit, grace and
righteousness, these fruits
are purged by the exercise
grace, and perform good
works and bring forth fruits
