Instructions: This is a very complex diagram and is best taught in stages, beginning with a broad overview. It roughly follows the two parables in Mark 4 including the "Four Soils" (vs. 1-8) and the "Parable of the Seed" (vs. 26-29). Begin by drawing a simple four-pane window with a circle at the center. Start with the agricultural lesson:
Then share the spiritual lesson:
The circle in the center is sometimes used to depict leadership development. But we prefer to keep the Father's Heart at the center (and this integrates with the One Mission diagram). Leadership develops as we work in all four stages but in keeping close to the Father in cheerful obedience. Spiritual Warfare The transition from SOW to GROW (Field 2 to Field 3) is depicted beautifully by John 5.24 which shows that we move from death to life. Moving from GATHER to GO (Field 4 to Field 1) is illustrated by John 12.24 where we move from life to death. This is the death principle. It may be evident that when you turn the Four Stages diagram on its side, you will see the Two Forces diagram. This demonstrates that our work moving through these stages will be met with opposition by the enemy. These two transitions can be thought of as the "gates of Hell" where we bring people from darkness to light, and where we send believers with the light back into dark places.
