To: Cronos

Birds of the air

In the parable of the sower, Jesus told us who the “birds of the air” are!
They are the evil ones who snatch the Word of God before it bears fruit.

Two things seen here

Unnatural growth...mustard is a shrub, got a mighty tree
Evil infesting unnatural growth stealing away the gospel

Rather well describes Mega churches and Mega church systems, where corruption, legalism and heresy steal away the true gospel.

These are the same systems that Jesus called out as liars, legalists, brood of vipers, piling burdens upon men’s backs, white washed tombs with bones of dead men inside, travelling many miles for one convert only to make the covert twice the sons of hell that they were,

The Kingdom of God is within you.

This is the Holy Spirit Who is in (gk; “en”), inside you.

I don’t have a church inside me
I do have God’s Spirit inside me and upon me to do His glory
