The Book Of Matthew Ch 12-13 Yahuah's Chosen Servant

In chapter 12 Yahushua makes Himself known to the Pharisees, declaring that the Son of Man is Master of the Sabbath. He continues to heal on the Sabbath, showing that the restrictions placed by man were not the Father’s intent.

The Pharisees, though they studied the Scriptures, refused to believe what was right in front of them. They even accused Yahushua of working for Beelzebub (another name often linked with Satan).

Yahushua teaches that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, while words against the Son of Man can be forgiven. This makes me reflect on my own past—before my spiritual journey, I may have spoken or acted in ways that could be considered dishonoring. But with repentance and a humble heart, I trust Father’s mercy and forgiveness.

We all look for signs, just as the Pharisees did. But Yahushua said the only sign is the sign of Jonah—three days and nights in the belly of a great fish. Recently, I caught myself asking Father for a sign, only to be reminded of this very passage. Often, I realize that my spirit already knows the answer, even when my flesh still wrestles with doubt.

In chapter 13, Yahushua begins teaching in parables to separate those who are spiritually open from those who are hardened.

The Parable of the Sower struck me deeply:

Some seed falls on the path and is eaten by birds.

Some falls on rocky soil, growing quickly but without deep roots.

Some falls among thorns, which choke it out.

And some falls on good soil, producing an abundant harvest.

This parable mirrors my own journey. In the beginning, my faith was easily shaken. But as I endured persecution, homelessness, and trials, my roots began to grow deeper. Now, even though the persecution continues, I push through with more strength than I ever thought possible.

Yahushua explains why He speaks in parables: because many see without seeing and hear without understanding. He quotes Isaiah, saying that people’s hearts have become calloused. That feels true for today’s generation—so many look but don’t perceive, hear but don’t truly understand.

We live in a time when deception is everywhere, and the enemy is working overtime to bring about the great falling away. The veil between the spiritual and physical feels thinner every day. This is why our faith must be deeply rooted, or else it will be choked out by the distractions of this world.

For me, these parables remind me not just to read Scripture like a textbook, but to rely on the Holy Spirit for discernment. The Bible we have today has been altered and translated many times, with books even removed. I believe Father allows this as a test—so that only those truly listening to the Spirit will discern the truth.

Spiritual growth is a slow process, and sometimes it feels like Father’s timing is hard to understand. But I believe that’s because He knows what we can handle and reveals truth when the time is right.

I still struggle and have much to work on, but I also see how far I’ve grown. That gives me hope.
