WHY JESUS SPOKE IN PARABLES=
Understanding the Lord’s parables is evidence of the indwelling Spirit of God!

  Did you know that there are seventeen parables in the Old Testament?  That’s right; of the forty-nine times the word “parable” appears in Scripture, about a third are found in the Books of Numbers (23:7, 18; 24:3, 15, 20, 21, 23), Job(27:1; 29:1), Psalms (49:4; 78:2), Proverbs (26:7, 9),Ezekiel (17:2; 24:3), Micah (2:4), and Habakkuk (2:6)

All of the New Testament parables occur in the GospelsMatthew (13:18, 24, 31, 33, 34, 36; 15:15; 21:33; 24:32),Mark (4:10, 13, 34; 7:17; 12:12; 13:28), Luke (5:36; 6:39; 8:4, 9, 11; 12:16, 41; 13:6; 14:7; 15:3; 18:1, 9; 19:11; 20:9, 19; 21:29), and John (10:6).  This is important because it tells us that, with the exception of the Book of Job, parables were a “Jewish thing”; they were always spoken by Jews, and most often to Jews. 

Webster’s New World Dictionary of the American Language defines a parable as an allegorical relationship; a comparison of things that are familiar, with things which are spiritual in meaning.  So you would think that Jesus taught using parables in order to make His teaching understandable.  But that is not the case.  Jesus actually taught in parables for a couple of reasons:

1)  Because God had said He would – “All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake He not unto them:  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world” (Mt. 13:34-35; Ps. 78:2).

2)  Because His teaching was meant for those who trusted in Him, and not for those who opposed Him.  Matthew wrote: 

“And the disciples came, and said unto Him, Why speakest Thou unto them in parables?  He 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.  For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.  Therefore speak I to them in parables:  because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.  And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall notperceive:  for this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them” (Mt. 13:11-15).

Because Israel would reject Him as their Messiah, Jesus only presented the truth about Himself to His disciples.  They would believe and become born again.  Then with the birth of the Church in Acts 2:1-41, the teaching of the Church moved to win the Gentiles to Christ; no parables were necessary (Acts 11:18; 13:46; 14:27; etc.).  God’s mysteries were revealed to His Church (Rom. 11:25; 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:7; 15:51; Eph. 1:9; 3:3-9; 5:32; 6:19; Col. 1:26-27; 2:2; 4:3; 2 Th. 2:7; 1 Tim. 3:9, 16; etc.)!

Understanding the Lord’s parables is evidence of the indwelling Spirit of God!

DIVIZION BRINGS DESTRUCTION-By Jim Cymbala

Division Brings Destruction
  By Jim Cymbala

    “And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, ‘He has Beelzebub,’ and, ‘By the ruler of the demons He casts out demons.’ So He called them to Himself and said to them in parables: ‘How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end’” (Mark 3:22-26).

    Jesus’ opponents saw that He had power over evil spirits but they would not attribute His authority as from God, so they said the most hideous and blasphemous thing. They argued that Jesus had power over evil spirits because He was in league with Beelzebub. Jesus responded, in effect, “Men, think about what you are saying. You are saying I am on the side of Beelzebub, and yet I am casting Beelzebub’s evil spirits out of people. Do you think Satan is that ignorant?”

    Jesus then laid down a crucial principle that we all must remember. Any house divided against itself cannot stand. In all division there is an inherent weakness that will tear away at the fabric and at the substance of the entity, and eventually if not checked it will destroy it. I do not care if it is a church, if it is a nation, if it is a basketball team, if it is a political party – nothing divided against itself can stay vibrant and strong. It automatically begins to weaken and in the end it will come tumbling down according to Jesus.

    This truth is so little understood in the body of Christ. When I first went into the ministry I was shocked by the evil of the party spirit. I was taken aback that ministers would rejoice in the scandal and the problems that other churches would have. And if another church was blessed, they would downplay the blessing of the other church if it was not their own group. So you have the body of Christ supposedly believing in the Bible where Jesus prayed, “Father…that they may be one just as We are one” (John 17:22),and yet instead of praying for one another and rooting for one another, we are competing against each other. God will never bless that!

    In the New Testament the sign of a division within the body of Christ was a sign of carnality. “…For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? For when one says, ‘I am of Paul,’ and another, ‘I am of Apollos,’ are you not carnal?” (1 Cor. 3:3-4). In Galatians chapter five, Paul listed along with murder, wrath, adultery and fornication, that one of the works of the flesh is a party spirit. Would you not say this is one of the great sins that we do not repent of and that we do not talk of? We are all part of one family – the family of God! When your church is blessed, I am blessed. When your church hurts, I hurt because we are on the same team. But this is not something the body of Christ excels in. We have forgotten what Jesus taught in our text:“If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”

    The Holy Spirit is like unto a dove and any division in the body of Christ grieves Him and He withdraws His influences. If you have division in your church you will get nowhere until the division is dealt with. No kingdom divided against itself can stand. The kingdom of darkness understands this principle, the sports world does, the corporate world does, but not the church. We have division and strife all the time, and it is tolerated. Then we wonder why there is a lack of conviction of sin, why there is a lack of anointing on the preacher’s sermons, why the church is not moving ahead.

    A first spiritual principle the Lord gives us for church work is thatanything divided against itself cannot stand. That is why the Bible says to mark those who cause divisions among you, and after warning them to have nothing to do with them (Rom. 16:17; Titus 3:10). What church practices this? We put up with all kinds of nonsense. If those promoting division have money and they tithe, most pastors look the other way. But we are to mark those who cause divisions among us (Rom. 16:17) and we are to endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Eph. 4:3). Our silence regarding this sin allows destruction in the body of Christ.

    …At the church I pastor, we hire staff members not by skill first, but by spirit – do they love God, are they filled with the Holy Spirit, can they minister and pray with others? This is a unity issue,because if you get a troublemaker, even if he or she is skillful, that one can pull down the whole house.

    I tell anyone who is hired on our staff two things. First of all, we do not allow any “moods.” If you come here in a bad mood, we will ask you to go home. Or you can tell the people around you, and they will have a prayer time until God lifts you up. But we will not allow bad moods because we have people we need to minister to, and we must be ready and in a good mood. We are doing the Lord’s work and representing Him. Doesn’t He deserve this?

    Secondly, if we ever find out that you have talked about another staff member when that person was not present, it could be grounds for dismissal; there will be no warning. We are fighting the devil and trying to make inroads into the lives of people who are going through so much. If you are going to break trust and cause division among us, you will not be able to work here. If I have a problem with you, I am not going to tell another staff member, I am going to come to you. And if you have a problem with me, come to me, and if I offended you, I will apologize. But we will never permit a staff member to talk about another one behind his/her back.

    This is only right. Does not the Lord deserve that kind of integrity in the way we work? Why grieve the Spirit with gossip, backbiting and division?

NU PLANGE, ANĂ

Că tu întotdeauna vei avea loc de muncă…

În fiecare zi e ceva de zidit, de ridicat, de înălțat.

Și e nevoie mare de oameni ca tine, ca să stea cuminți în zid…

Că tu întodeauna vei fi iubită…

Și doar pe cine iubești, zidești…

Că tu vii pe ploaie și vânt și Manole, glumind și oftând, tepune în închisoarea de cărămizi.

Că tu întotdeauna vei fi mințită.

Nu ai protestat și nu ai dat înapoi pentru că ai crezut că viața e joc și joacă.

Dar viața lungă e pentru oamenii ce glumesc cu alții, nu cu ei…

Că tu nu mori niciodată…

În varianta aromână a baladei ți-au lăsat pieptul afară dinzid să poți să-ți alăptezi și după moarte copilul.

Că trăiești prin el și când toți cred că ai murit…

Nu plânge, Ană… Zidul nu e rece. Ți se pare…

Daca mai ai in lume azi o mama
Inca mai poti sa te numesti copil ,
Daca-ti traiesc chiar amandoi parintii 
Mai poti sa simti ca inca esti copil.
Daca ai harul si i-ti traieste mama 
S-o pretuiesti si vei fi fericit
Daca-ti traiesc chiar amandoi parintii
Ai cui sa spui atunci cand esti mahnit.

Mai poti sa le saruti aceia mana
Ce ingrijindu-se a obosit
Cu dragoste i-ai dreapta si o saruta 
Caci pentru tine a imbatranit .
Mai poti sa dai si azi florile iubirii
Parintilor in casa ce-ai crescut
Nu la mormant le trebuie trandafirii 
Ci in casuta in care ai crescut.

De sufletul tau cat i-ei mai traiesc
Dar tu nu stii ca in taina ei vegheaza
Cu Duhul Sfant la tine se gandesc.

Mai poti umbla prin lume aparat
Daca parintii tai mai sint in viata
