THE ENEMY WHO SOWED THE TARES AMONG THE WHEAT

While the Church was sleeping (the past 2 thousand years) Satan has sowed the tares among the wheat and both have grown together until this time. This article is written to bring to the attention of the wheat that God has called the apostle Eric to bring them through doctrinal cleansing. The authority to cleanse the wheat from the indoctrination of the tares comes from the headship of Christ.  Please read on to find out who are the tares and what the wheat will be cleansed of.

The tares are the multitude of different denominations and non-denominations that Satan sowed into the world to look like the Church. Satan doesn't care if you acknowledge that Jesus is the Son of God (even the devils acknowledge the Son of God and tremble). As long as you don't come into covenant with God and serve God with perfect faith Satan will allow you to believe whatever you want about Jesus Christ, but God does not allow you to believe whatever you want to about Jesus Christ.

In Rev.2:4,5 we read, "Nevertheless I have somewhat against you (believers) because you have left your first love. Remember therefore from whence you are fallen (the true traditions of our faith that have been lost), and repent (turn away from the traditions of man); OR ELSE............"

When Jesus says, "Or else......." the Church should pay attention. "Or else I will come upon you quickly, and will REMOVE your candlestick out of his place, except you repent."

Because Satan has sown error into the truth, faith is made void. The world looked at the tares and thought they were looking at christianity and mocked God for the confusion that Satan has sown. Now the world is crying out, "Will the real christian PLEASE stand up?"

The tares are in the Catholic Churches and the Protestant Churches. The tares are in the Faith Churches, and in the Methodist, Baptist, and Pentecostal Churches, and in every other kind of Church that has grown up to name the name of Christ. These do not carry the principle of Christ, they carry their own principle. These have forgotten the first works and their faith has fallen into decay and corruption.

The tares LOOK like the wheat because they confess the same fundamental facts about Jesus Christ that the wheat does. The tares confess that Jesus Christ is the Saviour of the world, and they confess that He died for the sins of the world, and they confess that Jesus rose again from the dead, and sent the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. The wheat also confess these things. But the tares are NOT the wheat. These, that Satan has sown into the world to look like the Church, are NOT the Church.

People look at the similarities and say, "There is no difference," but the difference is in what God values. A 'tare' is a different species of the same plant (wheat). Inedible, not fit for human consumption. So also we see that God is saying that what the tares produce is not fit for Him, will not be put on His table. And Jesus says that the tares will be burned after being separated from the wheat.

The tares themselves think they are the wheat, and both have grown together until now. We are in the end time, the time of the final harvest, and the angels have been sent forth to make a separation between the tares and the wheat. 

The Son of man is sending forth his angels, and they shall gather OUT of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity. This 'GATHERING OUT' of Jesus' kingdom all 'things' that offend speaks of the doctrinal cleansing that has now been initiated by Jesus Christ from His position as head of the Body.

The voice of the Lord is in His prophets, kings, and judges. "Take heed what you do; for you judge not for man, but for the Lord who is with you in the judgment," II Chron. 19:6. God has in the past used human vessels and today is also again using a human vessel.

Many well meaning believers have tried to put themselves into the position of being the voice of the Lord, someone the Spirit of God would speak through. They read the prophets, and upon seeing the destruction of faith in the house of Jesus Christ, were inspired to reenact the position of prophet, feeling the inspiration of their own aspiration (to envision a work for God) and the drive of their own principle (private interpretation of scripture).

"Believe in the Lord your God, so shall you be established; believe His prophets, so shall you prosper," II Chron.20:20. Here again we see that God prepared vessels through whom His word was spoken. The tares have their own prophets as Baal had his, and the wheat did not know the voice of the Lord because the voice of Baal's prophets (the televangelists, false pastors and internet prophets) were many, and the voice of the Lord's apostles and prophets but few.

Because of the voices of many false prophets, and the voices of many false televangelists who are 'giving the word of the Lord' through the many tares they have as guest speakers, the wheat have decided to hear the voice of the Lord without the vessel. The wheat have said, "God is using the Holy Ghost to restore me, all I need is Jesus." Yes, Jesus IS our salvation, and Jesus IS the only mediator between God and man, and yes the Holy Ghost DOES instruct. BUT...................

God never considered the false prophets as a deterrent to His plan.

DETER --- (Webster) To discourage and prevent from acting or proceeding.

In other words, God did not say, "Because there are so many false prophets and false teachers, and because the tares outnumber the wheat and overwhelm them, I have decided not to send any true apostles and prophets." God's plan cannot be deterred.

God is preparing the wheat to be separated from the tares.

The wheat needs to be prepared to be separated from the tares because they have grown together with the tares and the tares have had dominion over the wheat and have polluted their faith.

The tares are as King Ahaz who went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and saw there an altar that was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest of the Lord the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it (II Kg.16:10). He meant to duplicate something that he saw, that he fancied he could successfully incorporate into his faith.

"And there shall you build an altar unto the Lord your God, an altar of stones; you shall NOT lift up any iron TOOL upon them. You shall build the altar of the Lord your God of whole stones; and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon unto the Lord your God," Deut.27:5,6.

Ex.20:25, "And if you will make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stone, for if you lift up YOUR TOOL upon it, you have POLLUTED it." The 'lifting up of OUR tool' upon the altar speaks of the craft, pattern, talent, skill, human imagination and energy that the tares have put into THEIR ministry. These are the 'wonderful works' that Jesus spoke of (Mt.7:21) that He will not accept.

The altar of Christ (Heb.13:10) is to be unpolluted with these things. The tares have fashioned the altar of Christ after the craft, pattern, talent, skill, human imagination and energy of their ministries.

We read in the book of Jude about the introduction of the tares among the wheat. Jude 1:4, "For there are certain men crept in unawares (into your assembly), who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord Jesus Christ."

The tares crept into the Church and the Church did not discern them because the tares did not deny the testimony about Jesus Christ, but did acknowledge that testimony. The tares changed the pattern of the altar and the wheat was not aware that the altar of Christ had been polluted by another pattern.

This other pattern DENIES the work of Christ within the soul because the labour with the tools of iniquity disallows the effectual working of the Holy Ghost. This is why Jesus will say to the tares, "I never knew you; depart from me, you who work iniquity," Mt.7:23.

Over the last 2 thousand years the tares have been investigating the tares to prove self worth and autonomy in the area of doctrine and spiritual discipline, and the wheat have been brought into submission to what the tares have divided among themselves. Over time, the division of territory (churches) between the tares gained credibility and it was called 'orthodox' (meaning that as far as the tares were concerned, their creed was written by the finger of God in stone; the pattern of THEIR altar was original).

As the tares established their own 'homestead program' and the wheat did not challenge that claim, the tares are now disallowing the wheat to contradict what is to them 'orthodox'. The passage of time has verified their claim.

The wheat carry the righteousness of Christ and the tares carry the standard of their own principle which they have grown from the soil that Satan has tilled for them over time.

GOD WAS WITH THE WHEAT EVEN IN THE TIME OF BONDAGE ----- "Now for a long season Israel had been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. But when they in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found of them. And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries," II Chron.15:3-5.

Even so, the Body of Christ has been for a long season without the true God (without the first works of their first love having been made subject to the doctrine of the tares), and without a teaching priest (doctrine came through pastors instead of apostles), and without law (believers were left to serve God their own way). Yet when believers sought God in the time of trouble, He was found of them and God was compassionate and cared for them. But there was great vexations in the soul and great spiritual dryness.

The tares think that the fruit of their redemption is experienced through the memorials they have of Jesus Christ, and therefore the tares are identified by their carnal reflection of the passion of Christ and His resurrection. They are able to nurture their aspirations and principles by putting their faith into the rites, observances, remembrances, reflections, and carnal remembrances of Jesus Christ.

The wheat were not able to experience remission of sins through these observances and 'tools' of iniquity that the tares built into their altar, and became dry and confused, not knowing why all these programs did not carry any divine deliverance, why they needed more or new types of ministries to try to find the key to successfully serve God. The 'intimacy' of 'relationship' that the tares sowed into their hearts brought them in bondage to their feelings and needs and did not bring them liberty. The wheat is being separated from these dead works.

The tares on the other hand were lovers of self and these expressions were perfectly crafted so that they could build a boast around them and find themselves.

The 'Satans' (messengers of Satan, his ministers) are able to recycle these CUT stones every 20 years, putting new cuts in them to make these principles of darkness look exciting again. The 'Prayer of Jabez' is just another take of the old and false 'bless me' doctrines. The laughter movement was just a new take on the old and false 'revival through experience' doctrines. The new 'dancing to the Spirit', mimes and puppets are just a new take on the old and false misappropriation of the key of David.

The Holy Spirit does not enter into these things, but into the living pattern of Christ Himself which is expressed and experienced through His spiritual government, His truth, and His Spirit. Through the gifts, the callings, and manifold graces of God. Through prayer, preaching, and prophecy.

God is NOW separating the tares from the wheat in order to restore the Church to her first love through restoring the Church to her first works.

Jesus shows the patience of God in the parable of the fig tree which was being examined because it was not producing fruit. "Cut it down!" "Why does it take up space in my vineyard?" But the owner allowed the gardener to cultivate it, and fertilize it. "And if it bears fruit, well; and if not, then after that you shall cut it down." Lk.13:6-10. God has been patiently waiting for the wheat to bear fruit unto Him. He has pruned, cultivated, and fertilized.
