Wisdom Cries From Without

God’s wisdom calls out to everyone, inviting all who will listen to turn from folly and walk in truth.
The core focus transitions into a deep exploration of Matthew 13:9 and surrounding scripture, where Jesus teaches in parables to separate those with spiritual understanding (“ears to hear”) from those without. The speaker stresses that not all who profess faith or attend church truly “hear” or understand the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, which are given only to those who have spiritually receptive ears and hearts. Understanding the kingdom requires critical thinking—applying logic, evidence, and careful reasoning to Scripture—and not mere superficial reading or rote religion.
The message outlines the historical progression of God’s revelation on earth:
Jesus must be lifted up and exalted above all else—above not only people but religious entities and even spiritual gifts—because only then can one truly know Him and enter His kingdom. Mere religion or incomplete knowledge (e.g., focusing only on the Holy Spirit, or only law, or only gifts) deceives and prevents full salvation.
Jesus speaks in parables because many see and hear but do not perceive or understand; their hearts are hardened (“waxed gross”). This spiritual dullness keeps them from conversion and healing, which are inherent blessings of the kingdom. The message warns of the dangers of superficial faith: those who accept Christ but do not bear fruit or do not operate in kingdom principles risk judgment and being cut off (John 15).
The sermon calls believers to a kingdom-focused walk, abandoning worldly or legalistic mindsets, voting and acting in ways that honor God’s righteousness, and embracing the fullness of Christ who fulfilled the law—not returning to it for justification.
In closing, believers are encouraged to prepare for Christ’s return, hold fast to kingdom truth, and deepen their understanding to live fruitfully in God’s just and righteous government.
Matthew 13:9 – “Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
Highlights the selectivity of spiritual understanding and reception of the kingdom message.
Matthew 13:11–13 – Jesus explains why He speaks in parables: “Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.”
Matthew 13:14–15 (Isaiah’s prophecy) – “By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive…”
Describes the spiritual blindness and dullness of many.
John 15 – Referenced regarding bearing fruit and being connected to the kingdom; those cut off for failing to bear fruit face judgment.
Matthew 11:12 – “From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.”
Marks a turning point from the law and prophets to the kingdom message.
John 6 (Implied) – “…until I am lifted up, ye shall know that I am he.”
Jesus must be exalted to be truly known.
Isaiah 9:6 (Implied) – Jesus, the child born with government upon His shoulders, signifying the divine kingship.

Father God in Heaven
I’m asking for forgiveness for my sins and
to be Washed clean!
I Believe that Jesus the Christ died on
the cross for the sins of the world,
And that His blood was shed and
His body was broken as a sacrifice for me!
In Your Word 1st John 1:9 – The Word states:
“If you confess our sins, He is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness”.
I confess I’m a sinner!
Jesus Christ
I believe that You were crucified for me!
Wash me clean that I may be made whole!
Please come and live in my heart!
I’m submitting my Life, my will, my mind, my thoughts,
& my imaginations to You
Abide in me, allow me to abide in You!
Let Your Word abide in me!
My Lord & My God!
In the Name of Jesus Christ!
Amen.
