This program is made possible by the partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

You didn't get your life in a mess by doing one thing wrong one time.

And it's not going to get straightened out because you do one thing right one time.

I'm Joyce Meyer, and I believe that God can heal you everywhere you hurt.

And today I want to talk to you about the parable of the sower that is so important in the Word

of God because really it's a parable about four different kinds of the Bible says

soil but it's really talking about four different kinds of hearts four different conditions of the

heart and how those different hearts hear or don't hear the Word of God. Now there's a few thousand people

here today and there'll be multiplied many more thousands and even millions that will watch

by TV all around the world. And some will get more out of what I say than others will.

Some will hear what I say and they'll take action on what I say and they'll begin to see good changes in their life,

but some won't really do anything with it.

Some will stay focused on what I'm saying. Others will let their mind drift all over the place

and they'll sit there with a smile on their face, but they really won't, they're not getting

anything because they're not really listening. And so we're going to talk about those four kinds of

hearts today, make a decision about what do you really, I mean, you're putting time into this, so what do you really want to get out of it?

You know, it's, it's not just an event.

I'm not interested in running around the world and just putting on events.

I mean, I'm doing this because I know what God has done in my life and I know what he can do and wants to do and is doing in your lives.

And I so much want you to have the good life that Jesus died for you to have.

And the only thing that's going to make that possible is for you to, no, listen to what I'm going to say, know the word and take action on what you hear hearing it and not doing it is pretty much useless the only thing if you just know a bunch of stuff but you

don't act on it then you just usually become proud of what all you know and want to tell everybody else what to do.
