Battle Raging Against “World Cares”
By Rebbe Brandon Barthrop
The front lines of Heavenly Israel’s battle against the Kelipot—Evil Impulse (Yetzer Hara), Evil Eye (Ayin Hara), and Evil Speech (Lashon Hara)—require a profound understanding of the bombardment of temptations that emanate from Hell in the form of “World Cares.”
Many believers despise the Devil but still struggle with the temptations from Satan’s deceptive arts, which provoke concern over worldly needs; these are the “World Cares.” The daily protocol for all heavenly Israel during this time is a focused release of all worldly cares. Though your Father in Heaven knows your needs, releasing them to King Jesus, who is enthroned in heaven, is essential. Manifesting this holy action of release in both thoughts and speech empowers heaven to care for you through the holy angels of King Jesus Christ.

In Jesus’ Parable of the Sower, the enemies of the seed, which represents the word of the kingdom, are described as follows:
- The Birds: These represent Satan or the evil one who comes and snatches away the word that was sown in people’s hearts (Matthew 13:19).
- Rocky Ground: This represents those who receive the word with joy but have no root and only endure for a while. When tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, they immediately fall away (Matthew 13:20-21).
- Thorns: These represent the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches that choke the word, making it unfruitful (Matthew 13:22).
- The Path: This represents those who hear the word of the kingdom but do not understand it, allowing the evil one to come and snatch away what was sown in their hearts (Matthew 13:19).
These elements in the parable illustrate the various challenges and obstacles that prevent the word of the kingdom from taking root and producing fruit in people’s lives.
