As believers, you and I are in constant spiritual warfare. Often, however, we fail to recognize our battles as such. In addition, we are often ignorant of Satan’s mode of operation. And finally, we regularly fail to fight from a position of victory. Although this is a lengthy study, I would like to simply note several verses and then conclude by noting how we live from victory and not for victory.

Mark 4:35-41 has a distinct place in Mark’s narrative. It is intentionally placed just after an extended discourse that explained kingdom ideas. Jesus has clearly shown from the parables the distinction between children of light and those who continue to abide in darkness. He has equally shown how the rule or control of God continues to steadily unfold and moves toward ultimate fulfillment with certainty and confidence.

Read Mark 4:21-25
“The opening for of verse 22 indicates a close connection with what precedes. What had just been said in figurative language is now elucidated in literal terms. The double statement stresses the idea of purpose. The underlying law is that when things are hidden, the intention is that in due time they will be revealed.” (D. Edmond Hiebert, Mark: A Portrait of the Servant, 107).

Read Mark 4:1-20
This parable of the soils is part of our Lord explaining the mystery of the kingdom of God. There are aspects of the promised kingdom presently being manifested.

Remember the previous paragraph. Jesus notes how those who are for Him are a part of His kingdom. Those who are against Him have committed an unpardonable sin. The issue in our present paragraph is not whether you are in His immediate family by physical descent, but if you are born again and have pledged your allegiance to King Jesus.
