Matthew 13:38 the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.
Many are confused over this subject of weeds and wheat thinking that a clear demarcation does not exist between the weeds planted among the children of God's Kingdom (wheat) by the enemy. Such confusion gives no direction, or help in understanding the fundamental truth's of God's word the bible. However, there are some basic elementary keys of truth that if we don't understand these then entire scriptures of God will become convoluted. This polluting of Christ (kingdom) is also mention in the same chapter of Matthew in concert with the corruption of the field of God's planting, and what is that convolution, and/or corruption?
Matthew 13:33 He spoke another parable to them. "The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures{literally, three sata. 3 sata is about 39 litres or a bit more than a bushel} of meal, until it was all leavened."
Where confusion exist God is not found or Christ, where confusion exist so does corruption, which the bible calls yeast, a polluting of Christ, that is, the polluting of pure unleavened bread we Christian's must partake of in order to have the spiritual strength to stay upon the hard course, the narrow road, and for us to endure to the end, we must be sustain by living waters pure unpolluted by this world.
Matt.7:13 "Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. 7:14 How{TR reads "Because" instead of "How"} narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.
1 Corinthians 14:33 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the assemblies of the saints.
James 3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
Keys of Truth
1.)Truth must be revealed by Spirit, if we are to know God the Spirit. 2.) When mixing flesh into Spirit teaching pollution, confusion, must occur, producing yeast teaching created by a mixture of fallen flesh and Spirit. 3.) Satan greatest deception is the mixing fleshly teaching into Spirit and truth causing great darkness and confusion by some so called truth, making one spiritually weak, to where they are blinded and lose the power need in sustaining our spiritual life in Christ.
1 Corinthians 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?
1 Corinthians 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
2 Timothy 1:14 That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
Ephesians 4:30 Don't grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Galatians 3:3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?
Did Christ confuse us in his parable of weed and wheat? Unequivocally no! God or Christ are not god's of confusion, Satan is the god of confusion/darkness, he is the Lord of confusion and the twister polluter of God's word.
Exodus 34:6 Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, "Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth,
Unconfusing of Weed and Wheat Can one tell the difference between weed and wheat? Yes, any farmer can, and anyone with the littlest experience in growing plants cans as well. So God did not confuse the species only words can cause such confusion by those teaching yeast teachings, corrupted, and/or polluted teachings that refuse to accept there are two distinct species Christ spoke in his parable, and remember to a farming community!
James 1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
John 17:17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.{Psalm 119:142}
John 16:13 However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.
Weeds do not become wheat under any condition, weeds are always weeds, and wheat are always wheat so who is confused? Many Christian's are confused over the clear demarcation of light from darkness. This is another key to truth, humans because they listen to words instead of truth, that is, instead of actually looking at a wheat, and weeds would rather listen to someone telling them what a wheat look like, and weeds looks like causing confusion and a mystery, thus, adding yeast from the fleshly mind then teaching that confusion to others, which is, sadly the very yeast Christ stated would corrupt his teaching of Christ, his kingdom on earth after his leaving.
1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.
1 Corinthians 15:50 Now I say this, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} that flesh and blood can't inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
Galatians 6:8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
Next, God does not take a weed and make them into a wheat by bible teaching, this is a very important truth. God creates a new creation, that is, wheat, mankind can have no part in that new creation. The new creation wheat are created as spirit son's of God not by mans will, but God will, that Is, by God's power untouched by corruption of confusion, and/or yeast of the fallen flesh. He does not create hybrid wheat, part wheat, and part weed, trying to improve the species. It is either created by God, or its is created by man with sin and corruption, but nothing in between light does not dwell in darkness, that is, human confusion because of sin all sin is lawlessness, not in light, that is, Christ.
Gen.1:21 God created the large sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
With these simple and basic teaching of God's word applied to the teaching in our bibles changes everything in our understanding of God's word the bible. It takes a very convoluted subject of weed and wheat of Christ parable bring them totally in harmony with the other inspire teaching of in God's word the bible.
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
Ephesians 5:13 But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.
Fruit Truth
Wheat at harvest have fruit on their stock, but is that fruit weed seeds? No! So lets unlock another mystery of God's word. Christ states as God's truth that a good tree “cannot” produce what? Corrupt fruit! Can a wheat produce weeds fruit a corruption not of the wheat fruit can that happen, wheat producing weed seed? Simply put, no! Such truth are found in God's creation that each seed must produce according to its species and/or kind.
James 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
Matt.7:16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
But the next key which is life and death for those being feed spiritual food from Christ, is? Can a corrupt tree “produce good fruit”? Can a weed produce wheat fruit, that is, changing its species by growing in the same field as do the wheat? No! It is impossible just as Christ stated the living truth according to creation that a corrupt tree “cannot” produce good fruit.
Matt.7:17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit. 7:18 A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
Subsequently, Christ in both cases is talking about spirit children of God being planted by God's will, as a new creation, and the weed, and/or the weeds are fleshly person not planted by God, but the evil one in the corruption of the flesh. Not a new creation bearing fruit for God, but rather planted at the rebellion in the Garden of Eden at the start of the human race.
Gal. 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh. 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire. 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Planting Truth
If a person plants a weed, what will come up? Weeds, not wheat, any argument to the contrary is a lie! Lies, are what causes confusion and corruption to the truth. So if we plant flesh, what will come up? Flesh, and/or weeds, for the weeds are flesh, the corrupt tree is a fleshly tree that can only produce fruit of the flesh having producing more seeds of sin.
Titus 1:2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who can't lie, promised before time began;
Hebrews 6:18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.
James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.
Truth of Two Minds
The bible teaches us we have two minds, one is a fleshly mind, and the other is the mind of Christ for Christian's. The mind of mankind under sin is corruption. Hence, what is put into the fleshly mind becomes yeast, seeds of weeds, not of the Spirit mind of Christ (light), causing darkness, corruption, and/or weed teaching.
1Cor.2:10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 2:11 For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit.
1Cor.2:14 Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 2:15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one. 2:16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?"{Isaiah 40:13} But we have Christ's mind.
Christ is beyond corruption of sin, and produces only pure truth (waters feeding the fruit of everlasting life) uncorrupted from the sins of our flesh, and that is why the mind of Christ is called the unleavened bread of God which feeds us pure an unadulterated truth and Spirit (having no corruption from yeast or weeds seeds). Without this food a spirit child of God cannot live in faith, or be taught the truth of God by his Spirit. The fleshly mind as told us in the word of God is a great tree having many variation of shadows under in that it is always changing in thoughts and definition of truth.
James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. 1:14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. 1:15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death. 1:16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers. 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
Whereas, Christ mind, the one we are given as Christian's does not vary in truth, or between light and darkness, it is pure light coming from truth never changing in its love for the Father refusing to impute evil to God. In other words, flesh can only live one day at a time according to God's word, flesh is also like a mist, and a flower that fades in moments under the hot Sun. However, the Spirit has no corruption or end, it last forever, never failing because God cannot fail.
Isa.40:6 The voice of one saying, "Cry!" One said, "What shall I cry?" "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the flower of the field. 40:7 The grass withers, the flower fades, because Yahweh's breath blows on it. Surely the people are like grass. 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever."
The Mystery of Weeds and Wheat
First, the mystery is only found in the mind of the flesh, not in the mind of Christ. When we find a religious mystery mislabeled a mystery of God, we will find that it is our own fleshly mind that makes it a mystery because the fleshly mind cannot know God it is the Spirit that must teach us the truth. The simple fact are that most weeds think they can be changed into another species by studying and preaching of the bible, but that is no more then confusion of the fleshly mind. When the truth is bore out a person is forced to ask why? The why is a lie, from our flesh mind legalizing a simple truth of God's creation. However, the truth is found in the parable itself. So at that point if we refused this simple truth, confusion, distrust, will enter into our thinking we will believe we have been tricked by God that he is withholding truth, that is, something good from us, as though we somehow are entitled to it because we claim to be a Christian's? However, are being a Christian's means we love the truth, that is, Christ Jesus, we have his mind, because we are part of his body.
Matt.7:7 "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. 7:8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. 7:9 Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 7:10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent? 7:11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
Eph. 2:5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus, 2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, 2:7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. 2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. 2:9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;
The parable never says there is going to be a conversion of weeds into wheat by preaching too them, the parable never states they will be saved. It states the truth the weeds will be removed because they are weeds, not planted by God. Although, they look somewhat like wheat, no real farmer would be mislead. Those inspecting the field knew immediately there were weeds planted not by God. The question was what were they to do with the weeds? Not if they were counterfeit son's of the kingdom making it a personal responsibility to judge weed and wheat for each son of the kingdom. No! The judgment was done by Christ, it was determine they were weeds with no illusion of them being God's children at all!
Matt.13:24 He set another parable before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field, 13:25 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds{darnel is a weed grass (probably bearded darnel or lolium temulentum) that looks very much like wheat until it is mature, when the difference becomes very apparent.} also among the wheat, and went away. 13:26 But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the darnel weeds appeared also. 13:27 The servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?' 13:28 "He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?' 13:29 "But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them. 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
The truth was stated: “Don't pull them up, less you uproot the tender newly planted wheat. No big problem, no war, no fret, let them grow together and at the end, the harvest time, they would be gather up and destroy. No blowing into a brown bag from hyper tension that a wheat would be changed into a weed if we didn't have some super knowledge found by true Christian's. All such thought are from a convoluted mind of confusion of the fleshly mind created in judgment. Moreover, no man or religion can uproot or change wheat into a weed kind by whatever they do on earth in the name of Christ.
Rom.9:8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as a seed. 9:9 For this is a word of promise, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son."{Genesis 18:10,14} 9:10 Not only so, but Rebecca also conceived by one, by our father Isaac. 9:11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls, 9:12 it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger."{Genesis 25:23} 9:13 Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."{Malachi 1:2-3}
No! What does man have to do with planting, the harvesting of what God has planted? Did you note that point? Nothing! Not one thing, why? Once again, flesh is about our own will from our desires not God's, God's will for Christ is about the powerful incorruptible life of Christ as our king, not the fears of our flesh. When we delude ourselves in thinking we changes ourselves, and thus, we think we can change others by our persuasion we are fooling ourselves into self-salvation by human efforts when we can't even change a specie into another species?
John1:11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn't receive him. 1:12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name: 1:13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Ecclesiastes 1:15 That which is crooked can't be made straight; and that which is lacking can't be counted.
John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.
Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.
Hardly! Yet religion marches since Christ was on earth trying to converting weeds into wheat to save them from themselves, but not Christ, he for two thousand's years already stated the judgment of weeds, and God's wheat, God's judgment was made, Christ now waits the harvest than he will take care of the problem of weeds using up good soil of God's children.
Romans 8:23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.
Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
1 Thessalonians 1:10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead--Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain. 5:8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. 5:9 Don't grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won't be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door. 5:10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 5:11 Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
Truth of Faith
False religion, and the weeds, which are one in the same take the power of God word, but not the power of God's Kingdom Christ life, they then authorize themselves as God's mouth piece on earth and boast of converting weeds into wheat stealing and confusing real faith into a convoluted yeast faith. The wheat feed from Christ above which includes their gifts of the Holy Spirit, faith is a fruit of God's Spirit, the weeds have faith in their own will power, and/or the power of their religion gain by using the worlds legal system of things. Such cannot created a new creation, such is part of the old creation under the lie of changing flesh into a spirit person.
Daniel 2:32 As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass, 2:33 its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay. 2:34 You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. 2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
Real faith has nothing to do with ourselves, that is, the will of our fallen flesh, it has to do with our placing faith, in the living power of Christ indwelling us with the Holy Spirit that has created us for the will of God. It is this simple acknowledgment that we did not make ourselves into a wheat, we were created from the start as a wheat, not weeds slowly transformed over a life time of our hard effort in obtain into a new species.
Titus 3:5 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit.
Faith has nothing to do with our trusting ourselves or our judgments, it has everything to do with placing all of our trust into the creator of us as the only will we want to do, and the only will that is eternal life.
1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Death of the Old
The confusion for so many is simple, they live in a dead body, but don't understand what that means? God killed the judgment of our flesh because it is a lie, and teaches the lie, and can produce nothing but corrupt fruit full of death. However, the flesh we speak too hear is still alive for each of us, each day, it thinks, feels, loves, hates and plans a long life on earth.
James1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him. 1:6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed. 1:7 For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord. 1:8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. 1:9 But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
Subsequently, we have two minds, two standards of judgments, and many variation of light, darkness, gray areas in our judgments. The sinful flesh fallen from Adam and Eve sin has never been alive to God, he was never fooled as to what it would produce, that is, its fruit are corrupted in all its ways. In other words, not reformable, but Satan the Devil teaches it can be reformed into a sinless flesh that will live forever without God's Spirit.
Jer.17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it? 17:10 I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
Romans 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;
Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.
Being born again, means that God killed our judgment of our flesh, he stop it, he removed our sins once for all times, casting them far away from man's judgment and his own. When God deals with his children he is not dealing with the works of our flesh, those works are dead, not reformable, they have no value or anything good in them for eternal life.
Romans 6:4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. Romans 6:11 Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Yet, those born again still live on in their flesh, the accuser of our brothers day and night! The flesh was created by judgment, it must accuse the Spirit of unrighteousness, because it is corrupted it can only judge what it feels in it own life, and those experience in life. Thus, it teaches the lie that a corrupt tree can bear good fruit. In other words, there is enough good in us, by our works we can change into a new species wheat by those good works. A merit based system just as the ground that weeds are planted in from birth the world; working hard to gain merit to trade for life on earth.
Galatians 5:1 Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
This same rational is applied to God, and the new creation because it must think in these terms as do a weed producing weeds, but the truth is so must a wheat produce wheat. The think of the wheat is Christ mind because they are his body under the power of his will, that is, his mind, but the power of the weeds is from the flesh, its mind, the mind that cannot know God, or please God because it is in rebellion against God's the Spirit.
Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.
Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
Truth of God's Rest
The wheat are planted by God in his field why would a wheat seek another field to grow in spiritually? Why would they go outside of God's planting into another body, another place to grow? Although, the field wheat live in experience all the good and bad, weather, i drought, flooding as does every field on earth experience, but they must rest in God's planting waiting Christ return to harvest the fruit on them grown by Christ life in them.
John.15:1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer. 15:2 Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 15:3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 15:4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. 15:5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 15:6 If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 15:7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you. 15:8 "In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
Resting is a key truth, not fighting to leave the field in search of a new one, a better one, that is, a new religion, a new prophecy to hurry the process of growth foreordain in each new creation up, but resting in God's power in Christ Jesus to conqueror and finish the work in each child of God.
Luke 17:37 They, answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together."
Rom.8:28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. 8:29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} 8:30 Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified. 8:31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Faith requires endurance in trusting God every word, trusting the life in us, even when weak Christ is incorruptible and cannot fail us. Seeking Christ mind, seeking his wisdom, not doubting our planting is the key to real faith. Trusting not in self in wars of the flesh against the Spirit of God, but God is good when we are not, God is faithful always when we feel unfaithful God cannot leave us because God no longer judges our flesh by merit, Christ life is our merit not the world our flesh lives and breathes in, but instead we living in God's gift that he gave us a new life freely.
That gift is irrevocable God is not changing us into a weed, or that his forgiveness of us is only partial, one good days we earn, and one bad that he bring back our dead flesh judgment again, and again, so we must live in the primary doctrine of Christ of a constant repentance over and over again dead works so we can stay a wheat by our own personal worth of our flesh.
1 John 3:20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
No! The judgment is dead, buried, put away God does not lie, the flesh and Satan does. Yes, we suffer, yes we are put to death in the thinking of our flesh, yes, and yes we don't like it, so we try to do better each time only to find out we have not changed a thing, but have been mislead into thinking we can form a wheat, we can supply the field of its growth, we can supply the water and nutrients for its survival, we can make the Sun shine or rain, or take away the cold weather, all are lies of our flesh where nothing good dwells.
Isa.40:10 Behold, the Lord Yahweh will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. 40:11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom. He will gently lead those who have their young. 40:12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and marked off the sky with his span, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? 40:13 Who has directed the Spirit of Yahweh, or has taught him as his counselor? 40:14 Who did he take counsel with, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding? 40:15 Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket, and are regarded as a speck of dust on a balance. Behold, he lifts up the islands like a very little thing.
No! We are but a mist, we are at the will of the creator who created us for a good purpose who's word goes forth and must have certain success, did God created children to make them fatherless? Did God make a mistake because our flesh can't believe or know him, does Christ deny himself? Are we in Christ, are we his body, does a man deny his own body? How foolish is our flesh, how it complicates all its ways thinking those thoughts are God's? Have faith in the power of God's Kingdom unshakable, it will not deny, it will not change as human do, who must, because they are flesh. Let God's works be complete in you, let Christ finish the course for you, trust, return to God, and he will return to you, humble yourselves under the might hand of God he will never leave you or deny us!
Isaiah 33:2 Yahweh, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
Isaiah 40:29 He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might.
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.
1 Peter 4:11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

The Field of Darnel Weeds
Matthew 13:38 the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.
Many are confused over this subject of weeds and wheat thinking that a clear demarcation does not exist between the weeds planted among the children of God's Kingdom (wheat) by the enemy. Such confusion gives no direction, or help in understanding the fundamental truth's of God's word the bible. However, there are some basic elementary keys of truth that if we don't understand these then entire scriptures of God will become convoluted. This polluting of Christ (kingdom) is also mention in the same chapter of Matthew in concert with the corruption of the field of God's planting, and what is that convolution, and/or corruption?
Matthew 13:33 He spoke another parable to them. "The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures{literally, three sata. 3 sata is about 39 litres or a bit more than a bushel} of meal, until it was all leavened."
Where confusion exist God is not found or Christ, where confusion exist so does corruption, which the bible calls yeast, a polluting of Christ, that is, the polluting of pure unleavened bread we Christian's must partake of in order to have the spiritual strength to stay upon the hard course, the narrow road, and for us to endure to the end, we must be sustain by living waters pure unpolluted by this world.
Matt.7:13 "Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. 7:14 How{TR reads "Because" instead of "How"} narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.
1 Corinthians 14:33 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the assemblies of the saints.
James 3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
Keys of Truth
1.)Truth must be revealed by Spirit, if we are to know God the Spirit. 2.) When mixing flesh into Spirit teaching pollution, confusion, must occur, producing yeast teaching created by a mixture of fallen flesh and Spirit. 3.) Satan greatest deception is the mixing fleshly teaching into Spirit and truth causing great darkness and confusion by some so called truth, making one spiritually weak, to where they are blinded and lose the power need in sustaining our spiritual life in Christ.
1 Corinthians 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?
1 Corinthians 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
2 Timothy 1:14 That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
Ephesians 4:30 Don't grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Galatians 3:3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?
Did Christ confuse us in his parable of weed and wheat? Unequivocally no! God or Christ are not god's of confusion, Satan is the god of confusion/darkness, he is the Lord of confusion and the twister polluter of God's word.
Exodus 34:6 Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, "Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth,
Unconfusing of Weed and Wheat
Can one tell the difference between weed and wheat? Yes, any farmer can, and anyone with the littlest experience in growing plants cans as well. So God did not confuse the species only words can cause such confusion by those teaching yeast teachings, corrupted, and/or polluted teachings that refuse to accept there are two distinct species Christ spoke in his parable, and remember to a farming community!
James 1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
John 17:17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.{Psalm 119:142}
John 16:13 However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.
Weeds do not become wheat under any condition, weeds are always weeds, and wheat are always wheat so who is confused? Many Christian's are confused over the clear demarcation of light from darkness. This is another key to truth, humans because they listen to words instead of truth, that is, instead of actually looking at a wheat, and weeds would rather listen to someone telling them what a wheat look like, and weeds looks like causing confusion and a mystery, thus, adding yeast from the fleshly mind then teaching that confusion to others, which is, sadly the very yeast Christ stated would corrupt his teaching of Christ, his kingdom on earth after his leaving.
1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.
1 Corinthians 15:50 Now I say this, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} that flesh and blood can't inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
Galatians 6:8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
Next, God does not take a weed and make them into a wheat by bible teaching, this is a very important truth. God creates a new creation, that is, wheat, mankind can have no part in that new creation. The new creation wheat are created as spirit son's of God not by mans will, but God will, that Is, by God's power untouched by corruption of confusion, and/or yeast of the fallen flesh. He does not create hybrid wheat, part wheat, and part weed, trying to improve the species. It is either created by God, or its is created by man with sin and corruption, but nothing in between light does not dwell in darkness, that is, human confusion because of sin all sin is lawlessness, not in light, that is, Christ.
Gen.1:21 God created the large sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
With these simple and basic teaching of God's word applied to the teaching in our bibles changes everything in our understanding of God's word the bible. It takes a very convoluted subject of weed and wheat of Christ parable bring them totally in harmony with the other inspire teaching of in God's word the bible.
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
Ephesians 5:13 But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.
Fruit Truth
Wheat at harvest have fruit on their stock, but is that fruit weed seeds? No! So lets unlock another mystery of God's word. Christ states as God's truth that a good tree “cannot” produce what? Corrupt fruit! Can a wheat produce weeds fruit a corruption not of the wheat fruit can that happen, wheat producing weed seed? Simply put, no! Such truth are found in God's creation that each seed must produce according to its species and/or kind.
James 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
Matt.7:16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
But the next key which is life and death for those being feed spiritual food from Christ, is? Can a corrupt tree “produce good fruit”? Can a weed produce wheat fruit, that is, changing its species by growing in the same field as do the wheat? No! It is impossible just as Christ stated the living truth according to creation that a corrupt tree “cannot” produce good fruit.
Matt.7:17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit. 7:18 A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
Subsequently, Christ in both cases is talking about spirit children of God being planted by God's will, as a new creation, and the weed, and/or the weeds are fleshly person not planted by God, but the evil one in the corruption of the flesh. Not a new creation bearing fruit for God, but rather planted at the rebellion in the Garden of Eden at the start of the human race.
Gal. 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh. 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire. 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Planting Truth
If a person plants a weed, what will come up? Weeds, not wheat, any argument to the contrary is a lie! Lies, are what causes confusion and corruption to the truth. So if we plant flesh, what will come up? Flesh, and/or weeds, for the weeds are flesh, the corrupt tree is a fleshly tree that can only produce fruit of the flesh having producing more seeds of sin.
Titus 1:2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who can't lie, promised before time began;
Hebrews 6:18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.
James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.
Truth of Two Minds
The bible teaches us we have two minds, one is a fleshly mind, and the other is the mind of Christ for Christian's. The mind of mankind under sin is corruption. Hence, what is put into the fleshly mind becomes yeast, seeds of weeds, not of the Spirit mind of Christ (light), causing darkness, corruption, and/or weed teaching.
1Cor.2:10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 2:11 For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit.
1Cor.2:14 Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
2:15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one. 2:16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?"{Isaiah 40:13} But we have Christ's mind.
Christ is beyond corruption of sin, and produces only pure truth (waters feeding the fruit of everlasting life) uncorrupted from the sins of our flesh, and that is why the mind of Christ is called the unleavened bread of God which feeds us pure an unadulterated truth and Spirit (having no corruption from yeast or weeds seeds). Without this food a spirit child of God cannot live in faith, or be taught the truth of God by his Spirit. The fleshly mind as told us in the word of God is a great tree having many variation of shadows under in that it is always changing in thoughts and definition of truth.
James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. 1:14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. 1:15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
1:16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers. 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
Whereas, Christ mind, the one we are given as Christian's does not vary in truth, or between light and darkness, it is pure light coming from truth never changing in its love for the Father refusing to impute evil to God. In other words, flesh can only live one day at a time according to God's word, flesh is also like a mist, and a flower that fades in moments under the hot Sun. However, the Spirit has no corruption or end, it last forever, never failing because God cannot fail.
Isa.40:6 The voice of one saying, "Cry!" One said, "What shall I cry?" "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the flower of the field.
40:7 The grass withers, the flower fades, because Yahweh's breath blows on it. Surely the people are like grass.
40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever."
The Mystery of Weeds and Wheat
First, the mystery is only found in the mind of the flesh, not in the mind of Christ. When we find a religious mystery mislabeled a mystery of God, we will find that it is our own fleshly mind that makes it a mystery because the fleshly mind cannot know God it is the Spirit that must teach us the truth. The simple fact are that most weeds think they can be changed into another species by studying and preaching of the bible, but that is no more then confusion of the fleshly mind. When the truth is bore out a person is forced to ask why? The why is a lie, from our flesh mind legalizing a simple truth of God's creation. However, the truth is found in the parable itself. So at that point if we refused this simple truth, confusion, distrust, will enter into our thinking we will believe we have been tricked by God that he is withholding truth, that is, something good from us, as though we somehow are entitled to it because we claim to be a Christian's? However, are being a Christian's means we love the truth, that is, Christ Jesus, we have his mind, because we are part of his body.
Matt.7:7 "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. 7:8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
7:9 Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 7:10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent? 7:11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
Eph. 2:5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, 2:7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.
2:9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;
The parable never says there is going to be a conversion of weeds into wheat by preaching too them, the parable never states they will be saved. It states the truth the weeds will be removed because they are weeds, not planted by God. Although, they look somewhat like wheat, no real farmer would be mislead. Those inspecting the field knew immediately there were weeds planted not by God. The question was what were they to do with the weeds? Not if they were counterfeit son's of the kingdom making it a personal responsibility to judge weed and wheat for each son of the kingdom. No! The judgment was done by Christ, it was determine they were weeds with no illusion of them being God's children at all!
Matt.13:24 He set another parable before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,
13:25 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds{darnel is a weed grass (probably bearded darnel or lolium temulentum) that looks very much like wheat until it is mature, when the difference becomes very apparent.} also among the wheat, and went away.
13:26 But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
13:27 The servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?'
13:28 "He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?'
13:29 "But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
The truth was stated: “Don't pull them up, less you uproot the tender newly planted wheat. No big problem, no war, no fret, let them grow together and at the end, the harvest time, they would be gather up and destroy. No blowing into a brown bag from hyper tension that a wheat would be changed into a weed if we didn't have some super knowledge found by true Christian's. All such thought are from a convoluted mind of confusion of the fleshly mind created in judgment. Moreover, no man or religion can uproot or change wheat into a weed kind by whatever they do on earth in the name of Christ.
Rom.9:8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as a seed.
9:9 For this is a word of promise, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son."{Genesis 18:10,14}
9:10 Not only so, but Rebecca also conceived by one, by our father Isaac. 9:11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls, 9:12 it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger."{Genesis 25:23} 9:13 Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."{Malachi 1:2-3}
No! What does man have to do with planting, the harvesting of what God has planted? Did you note that point? Nothing! Not one thing, why? Once again, flesh is about our own will from our desires not God's, God's will for Christ is about the powerful incorruptible life of Christ as our king, not the fears of our flesh. When we delude ourselves in thinking we changes ourselves, and thus, we think we can change others by our persuasion we are fooling ourselves into self-salvation by human efforts when we can't even change a specie into another species?
John1:11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn't receive him.
1:12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name:
1:13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Ecclesiastes 1:15 That which is crooked can't be made straight; and that which is lacking can't be counted.
John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.
Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.
Hardly! Yet religion marches since Christ was on earth trying to converting weeds into wheat to save them from themselves, but not Christ, he for two thousand's years already stated the judgment of weeds, and God's wheat, God's judgment was made, Christ now waits the harvest than he will take care of the problem of weeds using up good soil of God's children.
Romans 8:23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.
Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
1 Thessalonians 1:10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead--Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.
5:8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. 5:9 Don't grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won't be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door. 5:10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
5:11 Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
Truth of Faith
False religion, and the weeds, which are one in the same take the power of God word, but not the power of God's Kingdom Christ life, they then authorize themselves as God's mouth piece on earth and boast of converting weeds into wheat stealing and confusing real faith into a convoluted yeast faith. The wheat feed from Christ above which includes their gifts of the Holy Spirit, faith is a fruit of God's Spirit, the weeds have faith in their own will power, and/or the power of their religion gain by using the worlds legal system of things. Such cannot created a new creation, such is part of the old creation under the lie of changing flesh into a spirit person.
Daniel 2:32 As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass, 2:33 its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay.
2:34 You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. 2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
Real faith has nothing to do with ourselves, that is, the will of our fallen flesh, it has to do with our placing faith, in the living power of Christ indwelling us with the Holy Spirit that has created us for the will of God. It is this simple acknowledgment that we did not make ourselves into a wheat, we were created from the start as a wheat, not weeds slowly transformed over a life time of our hard effort in obtain into a new species.
Titus 3:5 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit.
Faith has nothing to do with our trusting ourselves or our judgments, it has everything to do with placing all of our trust into the creator of us as the only will we want to do, and the only will that is eternal life.
1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Death of the Old
The confusion for so many is simple, they live in a dead body, but don't understand what that means? God killed the judgment of our flesh because it is a lie, and teaches the lie, and can produce nothing but corrupt fruit full of death. However, the flesh we speak too hear is still alive for each of us, each day, it thinks, feels, loves, hates and plans a long life on earth.
James1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.
1:6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
1:7 For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord. 1:8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
1:9 But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
Subsequently, we have two minds, two standards of judgments, and many variation of light, darkness, gray areas in our judgments. The sinful flesh fallen from Adam and Eve sin has never been alive to God, he was never fooled as to what it would produce, that is, its fruit are corrupted in all its ways. In other words, not reformable, but Satan the Devil teaches it can be reformed into a sinless flesh that will live forever without God's Spirit.
Jer.17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it? 17:10 I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
Romans 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;
Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.
Being born again, means that God killed our judgment of our flesh, he stop it, he removed our sins once for all times, casting them far away from man's judgment and his own. When God deals with his children he is not dealing with the works of our flesh, those works are dead, not reformable, they have no value or anything good in them for eternal life.
Romans 6:4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:11 Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Yet, those born again still live on in their flesh, the accuser of our brothers day and night! The flesh was created by judgment, it must accuse the Spirit of unrighteousness, because it is corrupted it can only judge what it feels in it own life, and those experience in life. Thus, it teaches the lie that a corrupt tree can bear good fruit. In other words, there is enough good in us, by our works we can change into a new species wheat by those good works. A merit based system just as the ground that weeds are planted in from birth the world; working hard to gain merit to trade for life on earth.
Galatians 5:1 Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
This same rational is applied to God, and the new creation because it must think in these terms as do a weed producing weeds, but the truth is so must a wheat produce wheat. The think of the wheat is Christ mind because they are his body under the power of his will, that is, his mind, but the power of the weeds is from the flesh, its mind, the mind that cannot know God, or please God because it is in rebellion against God's the Spirit.
Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.
Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
Truth of God's Rest
The wheat are planted by God in his field why would a wheat seek another field to grow in spiritually? Why would they go outside of God's planting into another body, another place to grow? Although, the field wheat live in experience all the good and bad, weather, i drought, flooding as does every field on earth experience, but they must rest in God's planting waiting Christ return to harvest the fruit on them grown by Christ life in them.
John.15:1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
15:2 Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 15:3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 15:4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. 15:5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 15:6 If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 15:7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
15:8 "In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
Resting is a key truth, not fighting to leave the field in search of a new one, a better one, that is, a new religion, a new prophecy to hurry the process of growth foreordain in each new creation up, but resting in God's power in Christ Jesus to conqueror and finish the work in each child of God.
Luke 17:37 They, answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together."
Rom.8:28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
8:29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."}
8:30 Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.
8:31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Faith requires endurance in trusting God every word, trusting the life in us, even when weak Christ is incorruptible and cannot fail us. Seeking Christ mind, seeking his wisdom, not doubting our planting is the key to real faith. Trusting not in self in wars of the flesh against the Spirit of God, but God is good when we are not, God is faithful always when we feel unfaithful God cannot leave us because God no longer judges our flesh by merit, Christ life is our merit not the world our flesh lives and breathes in, but instead we living in God's gift that he gave us a new life freely.
That gift is irrevocable God is not changing us into a weed, or that his forgiveness of us is only partial, one good days we earn, and one bad that he bring back our dead flesh judgment again, and again, so we must live in the primary doctrine of Christ of a constant repentance over and over again dead works so we can stay a wheat by our own personal worth of our flesh.
1 John 3:20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
No! The judgment is dead, buried, put away God does not lie, the flesh and Satan does. Yes, we suffer, yes we are put to death in the thinking of our flesh, yes, and yes we don't like it, so we try to do better each time only to find out we have not changed a thing, but have been mislead into thinking we can form a wheat, we can supply the field of its growth, we can supply the water and nutrients for its survival, we can make the Sun shine or rain, or take away the cold weather, all are lies of our flesh where nothing good dwells.
Isa.40:10 Behold, the Lord Yahweh will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.
40:11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom. He will gently lead those who have their young. 40:12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and marked off the sky with his span, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? 40:13 Who has directed the Spirit of Yahweh, or has taught him as his counselor?
40:14 Who did he take counsel with, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding? 40:15 Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket, and are regarded as a speck of dust on a balance. Behold, he lifts up the islands like a very little thing.
No! We are but a mist, we are at the will of the creator who created us for a good purpose who's word goes forth and must have certain success, did God created children to make them fatherless? Did God make a mistake because our flesh can't believe or know him, does Christ deny himself? Are we in Christ, are we his body, does a man deny his own body? How foolish is our flesh, how it complicates all its ways thinking those thoughts are God's? Have faith in the power of God's Kingdom unshakable, it will not deny, it will not change as human do, who must, because they are flesh. Let God's works be complete in you, let Christ finish the course for you, trust, return to God, and he will return to you, humble yourselves under the might hand of God he will never leave you or deny us!
Isaiah 33:2 Yahweh, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
Isaiah 40:29 He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might.
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.
1 Peter 4:11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.
