   This morning, early on, the Lord spoke to me regarding all the previous   
   portions of this chapter in Matthew, and my speaking to why there are so many   
   ‘christians’ that may not be successful, or as near successful in Jesus   
   The Christ, and as a consequence left behind for the tribulation, bitterness,   
   etc. or to be thrown out into outer darkness, but he said to remind everyone   
   that the various stages of seed being planted, uprooted, struggling, etc.   
   That he ended up these individual parables with how to be successful in Him.   
   Along with that, those who were frugal, cheap, and non=productive that he   
   would tae what they had and give it to those who were producing and He will   
   make them abundantly successful. A world without limits, full of power, able   
   to speak and share the truth, and do so abundantly.   
      
   Yes, oh YES people He seeks those who would serve him in all manner of things   
   in their life. He desires to gift you now greatly and later when all is said   
   and done HE WILL reward you greatly. Odd that, go figure, He gifts us, He   
   supports us, He EMPOWERS us By His Spirit, and then rewards us in the end for   
   all eternity. To me that is so unfathomable, for all we had to do was just to   
   sign on, and be willing to do as he desired. He gives us Life, and by giving   
   our life to HIS HANDS, He LOVES US! And because of that one cannot help but   
   Love Him back. It makes little sense in this world. Yes, we must bear our   
   cross, but even in doing so, He supports us, and gives us strength. And how   
   few know or understand what the Cross actually is. That is another subject   
   for another time,...   
      
   As the point is, Jesus in these parables not only was prophesying but   
   instructing us in how to be winners!   
      
   “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to   
   escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son   
   of man.” (Luk 21:36, KJV)
