Testing of faith to listener of gospel

Luke 8:1-25
Only Luke tells us the part the women payed in Jesus' mission.
Jesus said to his disciples,"The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables."
The devil, testing, life's worries, riches and pleasures will affect the faith of listener of gospel.
Parables: though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear: preaching good news to everyone who has ears.
Lamp on a stand: Consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does no have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him. The Lord knows heart of everyone, people will know what you have listen from your behavior.
Why?
Jesus said many parables in Mark to describe the kingdom of God.
Gospel listener need prepare their heart, otherwise, what he has listened will be lost and fell.
Faith needs be tested through testing from evil(our desire), environment challenges(money, position, living. etc). Only rely on the Lord can gain from the faith.
Jesus' message is prepare to those who been chosen by the Lord. But we do not know who were chosen.
What we have listened we will react it in our behavior, so everyone will see it. Nothing is hidden and nothing concealed that will not be know or brought out into the open.
How?
How about my faith to the Lord? does the worries of living choke my heart? Praise the Lord I know that the Lord is with me, no matter where I am. I have experience the help of the Lord many many times in my life.
