*We all have different needs to be met by the Lord. Faith is a hand to receive from the Lord.
*Romans 10:17 Faith comes by hearing.
(Faith in God comes by hearing the Word of God)
Note that faith comes by continuing to hear – hearing. It is not enough just to hear once. Continue hearing the Word as you speak it

*I Timothy 4:13,15 Spend time in the Word, meditate upon the word = your progress will be evident to all.
*Mark 4:3-13, 14-20, 24 The parable of the sower. Satan wants to steal the word from your heart because he knows that the word you have is a threat to him.

The same sower sowed the same kind of seed but the kinds of ground were different. Same preacher preaches the same message, but different listeners/recipients get different level of success based on their diligence.
