Pastor Jeremiah Johnson opens with God’s love and the victory of Christ—when you receive Jesus you are given a new nature and an eternal pardon. Understanding this identity brings confidence, prayer power, and the fruit of the Spirit.

He warns that the heart (unlike the sealed spirit) can harden through sin and harmful influences. Using the parable of the sower, he highlights how the lust of other things—covetousness, money, relationships, or distractions—can choke the word and make us unfruitful.

The remedy is simple and practical: steward your heart and your inputs, put God first, return to your first love, and reorder desires so God remains the primary pursuit that blesses your life and relationships.
