Matthew 13:18
18Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
• Question: How do you know you understand the Word? Answer: When you act upon it. It is your actions.
• What you understand, you act upon.
• The enemy will try to take the Word away because it has power.

Matthew 13:11, 24, 31, 33, 44
11He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 24Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 31Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 33Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. 44Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

• Jesus is talking about the kingdom of God.
• Muslims are trying to take over and they now outnumber Catholics as the world’s largest religion.
• Muslims don’t have a mentality for just souls. Their mentality is for kingdoms.
• They know if they can take kingdoms, they will get the souls. For example, the United States is a kingdom. Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, etc. are all kingdoms.
• In order to sustain itself, a culture needs a birthrate of 2.1. The countries mentioned above all have birthrates below 2.
• Muslims have a birthrate exceeding 8. Due to the lack of population growth in the above mentioned countries a future majority Muslim population in some European countries can be projected in 35 to 40 years.
• Most American families now have 1 or 2 children. Birth control and abortions play a large role with respect to American birthrates.
• Muslims are using oil money to affect the education system, media, political system, and other institutions.
• As Christians, we must have a greater representation in the political sphere. In our cities and states, the church must exert a greater influence.
• We must have Christian politicians, teachers, and professors.
• We need Christians in the news media.
• We must continue to be soul winners, however, we must also be kingdom-minded.

Mark 1:14
14Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
• It’s about kingdom principle. Jesus did not come in preaching religion; He came preaching a culture, a way of thinking.

43And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.

• Jesus was teaching the kingdom culture, the kingdom mindset, and the kingdom way of living.
