1 Corinthians 4 verse 7b; John 3 verse 27; Romans 9 verses 15-16 ~ What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did also receive it, why do you boast as not having received it? John replied, "A man can receive only that which is given him from heaven." "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." So then, it does not depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy.

That's a misunderstanding of scripture.
It also contradicts Jesus vow. That of all whom the Father gives him he shall lose none. Not one.
The Hebrews passage you are referencing actually tells you, if you could walk away and renounce that Heavenly gift of Salvation and all that was transformed within you when you received it,there would need be another sacrifice needed to cleanse you again should you return.
That's not the case. There is no more sacrifice available.
Because those whom God called into his gift of grace,God called, not we choose to let him gift us, are eternally irrevocably his.
If you could walk away,if his first,and reverse all that transfigured your dead in sin self so to revert back into damnation, and return to that natural minded state incapable of understanding the things of God, that could call God's salvation and all it is said to be,a lie.
Jesus died once for all whom the Father gives him. And of those He shall lose not one.
You can lose faith in God.
God won't lose you.
Eternal irrevocable Security in His Salvation.

Romans 9 verse 18; John 6 verse 44; John 6 verse 65; John 6 verse 37; John 6 verse63; Titus 3 verse5 ~ God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. He saved us because of His mercy, through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.

You are changing the parable. No farmers in the parable but God. We are soil. Soil doesn't prepare itself. It simply is.
God is a husbandmen. He prepares the soil.
The parable itself just compares people to different soils, and the responses and outcomes of being a particular soil.
