The Wheat And The Tares

I saw the other day a christian tv show and the guests on the show predicted that the year 2017 was the year for breakthroughs; if you have been waiting a long time for certain things to happen in your life (healings, financial breakthroughs, etc.), then this is your year. You must stand on the Word of God, confess the Word with your mouth, declare the promises of God and every personal promise that He has given you, and then believe that they will come true. Wait, but wait expecting those breakthroughs to come to pass at any time. It should not be too hard, for the Lord has already done miraculous works in the earth already in 2017. This year has definitely manifested the winds of change in the earth.

There was one prediction that stuck out for me, the story of the wheat and the tares:

Matthew 13:24-30

Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”

One of the guests proclaimed that in 2017, you will see a division within the body of Christ, and that the Lord will separate the true believers from the pretenders, the wheat from the tares. Those who believe will be strengthened and the power of God will be manifested in their lives; there will be churches that will no longer be lukewarm, they will be cold, and other churches will be on fire with the power of the Holy Spirit. People's hearts will be judged, for everyone will have to decide, will they stay in the cold churches and be led by religious traditions and 'good' works, or will they go to where God is, to a church full of the Holy Ghost, and with fire, and be filled with peace, love, and compassion?

My brothers and sisters in Christ, it is time to consider that the harvest time has come. God has generously given this dispensation of grace to the world so that He may woo as many people eager to live with Him, to have a life of peace. love, and compassion that can only be had in Jesus Christ. The church is now on call to show the world what true christian believers are like, to give the world a real choice, to live for Him or to live for the devil. We need the power of Christ to tranform our own hearts and minds so that we may give to others what we have received from the Lord, and that means there must be a radical change in how the Church of God operates in this world.

We cannot give what we don't already have; it is time for a real revival of God's children thoughout the world. It is time to stop playing church and to be the true church of God. It is time to let go of religious traditions, and to start accepting each other, as the beautiful, flawed, needy, hungry, humble children of Christ. He accepted us just as we were, and He loves us just as we are, so we need to imitate Jesus, and start dealing with each other with love, compassion, acceptance, and understanding.

We need to put aside denominational predjudices and cooperate with each other so that the word of God will be preached to every corner, nook and cranny of the earth. We need to be led by the Holy Spirit and follow His instructions; we will not succeed by our own plans or by any committee; this is the Lord's Church, and He already has a plan, and He knows how it should be done. If we are willing to do as He says, we will succeed, and no demon in hell or on earth will be able to stand against His word or the power of the Holy Spirit. Keep your heart open and be willing to obey, and your trust will never been broken.

I often read the parable of the wheat and tares believing that is was an endtime prophecy and that it only pertained to the rapture, when the Lord would call His people up to Himself, when the angels would gather us up to the heavens, but now I see that God wants to start the process by separating those who truly believe so that the endtime harvest can begin. It is so necessary, because the true believers must come together to comfort each other, and to worship the Lord with all of our hearts, and to seek His face as a united chruch in heart and spirit. When true worship starts flowing from every place on earth, then we will reach a new level of power in the Lord; this power will transform not only our hearts and minds, but also the hearts and minds of the people around us, and the world is in desperate need of this transformation and this hope.

All around the world, people are lashing out in hate and intolerance, people being beaten in the streets for what they believe, and countries preparing for war; some leaders are drunk with the possibility of taking what they think should be theirs and they are willing to pay any cost to get what they want, in pride, in foolishness, and in blood. These are definitely that last days, and there is only one solution, and that is the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We need to be focused on what we can do for Him and not on ourselves. It can be hard not to focus on our own needs and desires, and so we must cotinually seek His face by meditating on His word, by prayer, by worship, and by daily surrender to His will for our lives.

Give generously from your heart, and you will receive generously from His heart. Know that he loves you and that He will always care for you. He will provide for your needs and will give you peace, joy, and contentment in whatever situation you find yourself in right now and into the future. I pray the Lord will bless you with spritual understanding, and with spiritual boldness, and courage, so that you will not be disappointed when the people in your life refuse to understand why you are so happy when you should be so sad, or reject your message of peace and love. Don't take it personally, for they are not rejecting you, but the One who is with you in your heart everywhere that you go, the One who will love you forever and ever, My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

This is a time for rejoicing for now we know that He is coming back soon for His little ones, the Bride of Christ, and we must believe that He will protect us. so that we can do the work that He has assigned to us; despite what we see going on around us, we must hold fast to Him and His love, and declare His word upon ourselves and our families. In order to know what He has promised us, we must read the word, and to activate the word, we must speak it into our atmospheres, and we must listen to the Holy Spirit and follow His lead, and then praise Him for His love and kindness towards us, and we will see the miracles begin to manifest into our lives and into our messed up situations.

Lord, I want to thank you right now for every miracle that is about to occur in my life and into lives of everyone that is reading this article. Thank You Lord for the victory in our lives and we will always give Your Name the Glory, the Honor, and the Praise Forever and Ever, AMEN

Thank Him Now for the Victory Hallelujah!
