FATHER has not lowered HIS Standards to accept tares into the Kingdom. A tare is “darnel” or “rye grass.” The Greek word zizanion is a noxious weed (lolium temelentum) that appears from a distance to look like wheat, but has poisonous black seeds. We must guard against such poison being forced on us by listening to error and man’s opinions. We must not embrace either.
In Matthew chapter 13, Jesus spoke:
24 Then Jesus taught them another parable:
“Heaven’s Kingdom realm can be compared to a Farmer who planted good seed in His field. 25 But at night, when everyone was asleep, an enemy came and planted poisonous weeds among the wheat and ran away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, the weeds also appeared. 27 So the Farmer’s hired hands came to Him and said, ‘Sir, wasn’t that good seed that you sowed in the field? Where did all these weeds come from?’
28 “He answered, ‘This has to be the work of an enemy!’
“They replied, ‘Do You want us to go and gather up all the weeds?’
29 “‘No,’ he said. ‘If you pull out the weeds you might uproot the wheat at the same time. 30 You must allow them both to grow together until the time of harvest. At that time, I’ll tell My harvesters to make sure they gather the weeds first and tie them all in bundles to be burned. Then they will harvest the wheat and put it into My barn.’”
Yes, we have an enemy and his name is satan, the devil, and his army is made up of demons. When did the tares get planted? At night. An ex-warlock revealed that those who are under the devil in his hierarchy typically sleep during the day and are active at night. They will speak forth (broadcast) “tare” seeds toward the lives of the saints in an attempt to dispatch demons to see if they can cause those seeds to take hold.
This is why it is so important to embrace Psalm 91 and reside in the Secret Place. We must not be ignorant of the adversary’s devices.
Jesus Himself gave us this revelation and we must not disregard its importance and relevance in our walk today. There are those who are imposters but yet they look like “wheat” until it is time to observe their fruit at time of “supposed” maturity. Are they producing life and abundance or are they attempting to control and manipulate us thus stealing, killing, and/or destroying some aspect of our destiny? I cannot assess your situation of who you listen to or follow. My responsibility is to make you aware of the dangers and works (devices) of the enemy.
Jesus spoke another parable concerning ten virgins. They were all believers but five of them failed to make the cut. What was the difference? Jesus gave us the revelation in Matthew 25:
25 “At the time My coming draws near, Heaven’s Kingdom realm can be compared to ten maidens who took their oil lamps and went outside to meet the Bridegroom and His bride.[a] 2–4 Five of them were foolish and ill-prepared, for they took no extra oil for their lamps. Five of them were wise and sensible, for they took flasks of olive oil with their lamps. 5 When the Bridegroom didn’t come when they expected, they all grew drowsy and fell asleep. 6 Then suddenly, in the middle of the night, they were awakened by the shout ‘Get up! The Bridegroom is here! Come out and have an encounter with Him!’ 7 So all the girls got up and trimmed their lamps. 8 But the foolish ones were running out of oil, so they said to the five wise ones, ‘Share your oil with us, because our lamps are going out!’
9 “‘We can’t,’ they replied. ‘We don’t have enough for all of us. You’ll have to go and buy some for yourselves!’
10 “While the five girls were out buying oil, the Bridegroom appeared. Those who were ready and waiting were escorted inside with Him and the wedding party to enjoy the feast. And then the door was locked. 11 Later, the five foolish girls came running up to the door and pleaded, ‘Lord, Lord, let us come in!’
12 “But He called back, ‘Go away! Do I know you? I can assure you, I don’t even know you!’
13 “That is the reason you should always stay awake and be alert, because you don’t know the day or hour when the Bridegroom will appear.”
Many of you have read this parable countless times yet it is more critical today than ever. Why? Jesus alerted us “At the time My coming draws near”. We are urged to be vigilant.
How do I buy oil? I spend time daily praying in The Holy Spirit and this Oil fills my lamp. As they say in business “Time is money”. I invest time each morning by beginning the day praying in Tongues. I encourage you to do the same based on the revelation given to us by Jesus in this parable.
At the beginning of 1990, FATHER instructed me to wake up an hour early to pray in THE SPIRIT before work. In somewhat of an immature fashion, I replied “If YOU want me up that early, YOU will have to wake me up”. HE did… at five minutes before 5 A.M. every morning. I never needed the alarm to get me up. So much for the arrogance of immaturity!
As Jesus revealed, “the foolish ones ran low on oil”. How much oil do you have in your lamp? Is it overflowing on nearly empty? I can’t make you keep your oil trimmed nor do I want to. It is either in your heart to pursue a more intimate time with The Holy Spirit or it isn’t.
Half the time when I wake up very early, I smile for I know there is something noteworthy THE SPIRIT wants to reveal. Yes, He refreshes me during the day so I don’t walk around lethargic or unproductive.
We are instructed by Jesus to always stay awake and be alert and not be counted as one of the foolish virgins. At some point the door to the Kingdom will be locked and those on the outside will be unable to participate in the feast. Don’t be caught on the outside of this door!
