Tares Among The Wheat / 3 Lessons To Learn From The Parable Of Wheat And Tares / What Is Tare (fake Wheat)? *Beware of tares!* (2) (3) (4)
Re: Tares Among The Wheat! by Nobody: 11:00pm On Jan 31, 2020 |
The tares, the seed of Satan by nature promoting sin, evil and injustice will frustrate the good desires in the believer for righteousness, even suffocating them, adding fuel to the fire of warfare that the flesh mounts on the spirit inside the believer. They will fill the outside world with all evil until at some point, the believer gets the message that God within is His only hope (1Jn4:4), as reaching Him from the external proves insufficient and begins to work towards God's perfect will. Had the tares been plucked before then, the believer would still be caught in the middle of this war between flesh and spirit(Gal5:17), unprepared for the coming of the Lord, which state requires spirit perfectly annihilating flesh resulting in stainless righteousness(Eph5:27), which is an eternal loss to the believer, not affording him God's best on earth and eternity. Picture the fact that the wheat competing for survival against the tares in the field will have to pull on every fibre within them making them stronger and more developed. -FinallyDead. The pressure from tares is to bring the best out of you dear believer. Don't be discouraged, forge on! |

Rightly said @the bolded sir. Pressures and resistance from the outside world always propel a believer to look inward, in other to relate with God from within. The more this seeking/searching is done, the more inner strength is gained not only to resist and overcome evil, but to be Christlike, shinning the light so that many can come out of darkness through that illumination.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 2corinthians 4:8-9. Happy Sunday to you all |

Joseph was pressured to surrender to the overbearing influence of an immoral woman. He looked within, saw God and said, " how can l do this great wickedness and sin against God? " And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. 8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand; 9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? Gen. 39:7-9 The pressure from that tare climaxed into his imprisonment, but he never bulged and God saw to his enthronement. How about Daniel? The tares in Babylon gathered to choke up Daniel by making a decree to make him pray to no other God except their king. [b]Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God. 6 Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever. 7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. 8 Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. 9 Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree. 10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. Daniel 6:5-10[/b] He dared them by looking inward, saw God and prayed to Him. Though thrown into the den, he came out unscathed! The three Hebrew boys? Yes! They confessed they will rather burn than bow! They didn't bow, went through the fire, and were never burnt! [b]There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. 13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king. 14 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? 15 Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. 17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. 18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. Daniel 3:12-28[/b] Dear believer, no matter the pressure round about you to succumb to evil, don't give in. Proverbs 1:10. Draw your strength from God by praying to Him. He will strengthen you. |

"Let them grow together till the time of harvest", Jesus said. It looks like a jolly ride as tares disguise as wheat, but time is a snitch, it will tell the difference during harvest! 1 Like 1 Share |

Bodydialect57:While the wheat has yet to produce yield, it is difficult to tell the wheat from the weed. Bodydialect57:Knowing this, God introduced his own Spirit as a sort of growth factor to aid the wheat in it's growth, ignoring the dangers that the weed may have posed had this factor not been introduced. Bodydialect57:Coexistence till maturity is meant to allow the wheat time it needs to produce fruit in 30, 60 and even 100 fold in some cases. Bodydialect57:As long as the wheat has the Spirit aiding it's growth, it has no need to worry about all the weed around it. Bodydialect57:The "Christian" does not have to worry about such things as survival, or living an effective "christian life" because the Spirit inside of Him is the one who leads and guides him in his efforts as a "Christian" and in living the "christian life. 1 Like 1 Share |

Kobojunkie:Yes, it's difficult but some experienced farmers can tell judging from height difference. Kobojunkie: The Holy Spirit gives the believer inner strength to shoot roots deeper even in the midst of intimidating and choking tares. Kobojunkie: Yes, fruit bearing is an easy task for a well rooted believer. |

Tares grain is like poison because that is what is on the inside of a tare. Tares look just like wheat but they are a counterfeit, not good for consumption. Toxic! Having an outward look of Holiness but within is all evil and corruption. Tares are about self and not willing to bow to the Will of God in humility. 1 Like |
Re: Tares Among The Wheat! by Nobody: 11:01am On Jun 12, 2020 |
You can be in a group and not be of them. Are you a tare or wheat? Isn't it a foolhardy decision to be a tare in the midst of wheat, knowing fully well you will be rooted up at the end of the DAY? You can still change camp through genuine repentance and faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Bodydialect57: See how thine eye is evil? Rather than being thankful that NOT ONE INNOCENT AND GOOD SOUL WILL PERISH BECAUSE OF AN EVIL SOUL, you are rather wondering how it shall survive because of the presence of evil. Moving forward, if you have truly been to a farm, you would have seen that Corns grow with grasses together, even though the farm was weeded off grasses at the first and there was no grass. But, as they grow the Corns still grow up and bear Fruits even though the grasses, which were not there at the first, grew also. Therefore, the Instruction of the parable is that if you belong to the Lord (Corn) You Are Able to Grow and Bear Fruits even though evil ( the grasses) are around You. You Only Become A Grass if You Choose to Become One so Also as should You Choose to Become A Corn, it Shall be Done, if you Truly Desire It. |

I am a living example of the Word of God as contained in the Wheat and Tares. I was born into and surrounded on all sides by Great Tares in the persons of All members of my family. Persons of GREAT Evil Minds and Actions! Nothing, I repeat, Nothing Good ever came out of their mouths nor from them. They so Loved Evil and were cursed with the Evil they so Loved and became the'evil exactly like their father Satan before them! Their House was so Dark, no visitors ever came to the house, No, not one! No friends, No, not one! No relations, Yes, not one! No Neighbours, aah, NEVER! How did I survive? First, I thank God, for I saw that the house I was born into was indeed Evil and Dark and I yearned for a difference and for Light and Good, having seen so much Evil. The more I yearned for Light and Good, the more They hated me and GREATLY INCREASED their Evil OVER me. I Got GREAT EVIL in return for the Goods they took and I gave them! I was Overwhelmed but not Defeated! They Set me Up Severally to be Gravely Harmed and Killed! And even delivered me into their hands. But my would-be Harmers who tried could not harm me as best as they tried, for I was always escaped, even I, at that time was in awe, how much more Them! Others who even Saw me and thought to harm me, Fled from me till this day! The Lord saw me Through Them All! All through my Growing years even up to Adulthood! When the Lord Stands for You, Who Can Stand Against You, No, not One. In vain, they seek your blood and shall not find you. No, not one hair on your head shall be Harmed. No, not One. Even though I went through the Fire and it burnt HOT, He was there all the way, and even when, the Flood had covered me, I did not drown. He the Lord saved from them All! And now, in His Time not mine, He has plucked me out of that Field and placed me in His Barn, where there is PLENTEOUS and PLENTIFUL GOODNESSES and Boku-Boku PEACE and LOVE and JOY and ALL I CAN EVER WANT! Praise be to the Lord, who did not let my Soul go down with the Dead! I will Sing of the Mercies and Goodness of the Lord Forever, Forever I will Sing! And the Tares? they have been plucked too, and Oh Boy! Are they SUFFERING IN GREAAAT PAIN AND SUFFERMENT, IN TORMENTOUS TORMENT, WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH EVEN WHILE THEY STILL LIVE. HELL HAS STARTED FOR THEM HERE ALREADY! 1 Like |
