How you receive the word of God depends on how fertile your soil is, or in this case, the type of soil you carry, whether it is rocks, thorns, a path, or good and fertile soil. As we all know, there is no testimony without tests. The different types of soils represent how people respond when adversity or the tests begin; do we get distracted? Do we get discouraged? do we run away or avoid it? Do we throw a pity party, or do we see it as a test from the Heavens and choose to fight through because we know our victory lies on the other side of fear and adversity?
