"When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion." (Psalms 114:1-2)
Something important that I forgot to mention, or should I say, reinforce; that the little bit of God's Spirit is enough to overcome the world! Isn't that what the forty years in the wilderness was all about? God delivered Israel from the bondage of Egypt in a day, just like that, and His people were out of Egypt; but it took forty years to get Egypt out of His people! So yes, it is the most destructive and most common of the three; but it is also the one that has the greatest chance, of all the wrong places to fall, of having success. It is like the parable of the wheat and the tares, some of the tares could be wheat, and some of the wheat might be tares; there is no way for anyone to know, not even ourselves! We might scoff at those who surrender their lives to the Lord; we might even say to ourselves that there is no way it is for me; but there is really no way that we can tell what will happen in our hearts; only God knows for sure, and He is so patient with those of us that are stubborn. The forth seed is the seed that fell among fertile ground; that is the Word of God taking root in our heart and making us a fruit bearing tree. There is really no way that we can judge anyone except by their fruit; and there is all kinds of fruit; some large and some small, but all part of God's dominion...
"Moreover, I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people." (Ezekiel 37:26-27) KJV
