Luke 18:10-14 Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11"The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: 'God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12'I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.'… 13"But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!' 14"I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."

The above story of these two men was just a story to me a few years ago. However, in just the past few months, I have been presented with real-life Tares who are so self-serving, self-absorbed and self-centered that they actually believe they, when they stand before God, will be escorted to a throne built just for them and crowns upon crowns put on their Proud heads. But, to their shock, they will be told, "Get away from me, I never knew you." What is so sad is that these tares really believe they are doing God a service.

By the same token, over the past few years, I have seen a variety of Wheat. They usually have gone through some hard growing stages, dealing with the crows that come swooping down to peck at their heads. Yet, because they are able to bend with the hot, hard summer winds, they grow stronger. They don't lean to their own understanding. The Word of God is their strength. The promises of God sustain them through to the Harvest. The growing season is not easy because, as you know, the Tares are also there, doing their part in pretending they are the actual Wheat God has planted. They are the ones that say, "Look at me, see my seeds? Let me share my seeds with you and you can become just like me." And to God's dismay, they want to become just like their Teacher Tare, not seeking His Word to judge what is really Truth.

Here is an article on the Wheat, Tare and Weeds. I pray that God use it to either humble us or to keep humble those that have already learned these words, "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." Psalm 51:10.

WHEN YOU ARE HUMBLE LIKE THE TAX COLLECTOR, YOU CAN'T FALL DOWN ANY LOWER BUT WHEN YOU ARE PROUD LIKE THE PHARISEE, YOU CAN AND WILL HAVE A HARD FALL. Better to fall now than to be rejected at the end of Life's trail.

Now it is easy to tell the difference between the wheat, tare, and the weed. The wheat is longer, bigger, and stronger. The tare is shorter, medium sized, and weaker. The weed is the shortest, smallest, and the weakest...The weed doesn't produce any seeds. The tare produces some seeds. The wheat produces the biggest seeds
Now get this SAINTS.....

To the non-farmers, knowing this difference wouldn't be so easy to dicipher. In truth they all look the same viewing it with the naked eye. Same for some of the women and men in the church. From the distance and even close up, everyone looks like wheat. Some having the form of Godliness, but deny the power thereof. They look like they are saved, sanctified, and Holy Ghost filled until they reach the threshing floor...

The threshing floor is a place where the seeds were separated from the vine. This is a painful time in a Christians life because it is where tests, trials, and tribulations comes to prove the faith. One can tell what Christian is victorious through the seeds produced. We all are overcommers by the blood of the Lamb and the WORD of our testimony. For this cause, our seeds should be edible....

Understand this people....

The seeds from wheat are heavy and full. They look very different when full grown. They bow to the wind. Therefore when you see the wheat at its peak, and ready for harvest, they all are bent according to which way the wind blew...

The Holy Spirit will cause us to stay on bended knees. These are those who spent time with the Lord and obeyed his WORD to the letter. They had no other choice because the seeds that were planted in them were too strong and mighty to stand upright with pride...

The tare is prideful and boastful. They are stubborn, reprobated, and self endowed. They act like wheat. BUT GET THIS PEOPLE...If you eat the seeds from the tare, it cause severe nausia, produces vomit, severe headaches, and a host of other illnesses. BE VERY CAREFUL SAINTS AS TO WHO YOU LET FEED YOUR SPIRIT. The tare's job is to choke the life out of the wheat. Some of you sit next to these types of people in churches, at home, and in the workplace. This is the reason for sanctification.

SANCTIFICATION doesn't mean holiness. It doesn't mean being righteous either . You can rightously stand for any cause and hold to it. SANCTIFICANTION simply means being set apart.

You know you are sanctified when the tare doesn't affect you in any way.

You know you are sanctified when you no longer do the things you've done in the past.

You know you are sanctified when the tares around you don't what to mess with you.

You know you are sanctified when your atmosphere changes when you enter the place.

You know you are sanctified when you are transformed by the renewing of your minds...no longer being conformed to this world...and proven acceptable to the perfect will of God....

Now...

The weeds are just the speculators. They are just there watching what the tares and the wheat are doing. They have no place. They are just ugly to look at and really pose no threat. The only problem with the weeds is they are just bothersome. ] These are the gossipers. BUT BE VERY CARFEUL...gossipers have a way with destroying reputations. Everybody in the world will know your business. For this reason, it is better to find wise counsel among a wheat ( Church leader ) better yet GOD... .

This is what GOD is going to do when he returns. This is the hour of repentance. We are living on the brink of the Kingdom of God dispensation. This is the last dispensation of this grace and mercy. If any of you are not living right, you better get right. Time is not going backwards, its only moving forward. Before it is all said and done, you'll be saying to yourself, "I should have repented when I had the chance." Don't let heaven come and you haven't proven yourselves worthy of the the gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus. The wages of your sins is death, destruction, and the lake of fire. Don't let your stubborn ways prevent you from partaking in the tree of life...
