THE WHEAT AND TARES ALL GROW TOGETHER. YOU NEED TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM.

People in ministry are seeing the tares among the wheat. 

Some are trying to remove the tares, but they are told in God's word, not to do that.

It will uproot the wheat also.

Matthew 13:28-30 (Read all 13:30)

"He said an enemy has done this." the servant said to Him, do you want us then to go and gather them up? "No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them"

"Let them grow together until the harvest, and at that time of the harvest I will send the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn."

The field is the world, not the church.  True believers in Jesus and fake believers grow side by side.

1John 1:19

They went out from us, but they were not of us; For if they had been of us; they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. 

But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.

Titus 1:16

They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, disqualified for every good work.

Matthew 13:25

But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.

Notice, while men slept or were complacent, lazy, the enemy sowed the tares.

Stay alert, awake and be watchful!!

We are warned to not pluck up the tares.

As their roots are wrapped around the wheat.

There are well meaning believers trying to pluck up tares, having been warned not to do that.

They will be wasting their time and energy on tares, when there are those who long to hear the gospel and will follow Jesus.

Tares are sent at times to wear us out, the enemy will send those in our life, who have no intention to be saved, but use your time to stop you from ministering to those who are willing to hear the message of the gospel.

Those tares are living for the world and all it has to offer them. They try to convince the wheat to do the same.

Listen to what they talk about and how they spend their time, you can identify them by their words and lifestyle.

I have seen this through the years, well meaning believers, believing that they are helping people and only to have those people turn on them and lie about them later. Tares.

 I have been caught in that trap. Wanting to see them set free, I gave them valuable time that could have been used to help those who really wanted help.

I taught my spiritual sons and daughters to reach the hungry hearts. 

Those willing to receive Jesus and follow Him. Let the Holy Spirit lead you, not your natural mind. Our natural mind will tell us, they need help.  The Holy Spirit will say stop and think.

Do you see the red flag!

We have been warned about the great deception of the last days, we see it all around us.

Proverbs 4:23

Keep your heart with all diligence.  For out of it spring the issues of life.

Beloved, be diligent in guarding your heart. Be careful what you read or hear, if it does not measure up to God's word, cast it off.

There will always be tares who pretend to be believers and want you to waste your time on them. Do not be deceived. You have the Holy Spirit, listen to Him.

Matthew 24:4

And Jesus said, "Take heed that no one deceives you. "For many will come in My name, saying, "I am the Christ, and will deceive many.

2 Corinthians 11: 12-15

But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which we boast.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.

No wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

Therefore it is no great thing that his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

Tares among the wheat. 

Beloved, they are everywhere, be on your guard and listen to the Holy Spirit's leading.

Spend your time with those that have hungry hearts to know God and desire to hear the gospel and receive Jesus.

Remember the tares do look like wheat, can sound like the wheat, only the Holy Spirit can and will reveal to you, who is the true wheat and who are the tares.

However, NEVER mistake a baby Christian's immaturity for a tare, it takes time to learn and grow, be discerning. 

Trials and testing will reveal the true wheat.

That's where the Holy Spirit comes in and lets you know the difference.

So that you will know how to minister to the wheat. Those who are hungry for the things of God.

God bless your day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
