Field, Tares & Seed

God has not determined as to who is who, field or tares, these are people's fruits. Many people do not want anything after they die, they are content to turn into nothing.

We are concerned about humanity, because we know that we are God's sons, His seed, because our FRUIT is such. We are peacemakers, and love our Heavenly Father, whom Jesus reveled to us. It is sad and can be painful to sow the seed in people and then let them go. 

There are people who were told about the new birth, the sacrifice of Jesus, salvation, yet they refused for they love themselves and their wretched flesh, which they did not even create for they came to this earth by God's grace. They are blind, but, sometimes after many years the seed you have planted in them sprouts. I have seen people saved 10 or 15 years later after the sowing the Gospel Seed in them, but by then, some of them were incurably sick and hoped only for salvation after they die. They became wonderful Christians, generous and loving, but died from the damages sin caused in their lives.

[Ezekiel 33:11] “Say to them, ‘As I live!’ declares the Lord GOD, ‘I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways! Why then will you die, O house of Israel?’

[Ecclesiastes 12:1] Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, “I have no delight in them.”  

Conclusion: we must leave some people in peace after we have shared the Gospel with them.  If we have only the field mixed with field we have no life, if we have weeds growing in the field then we starve, but if we sow the good seed we have bread to eat.

[Luke 10:3-11] “Go; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. Carry no money belt, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way. Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’ If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. Stay in that house, eating and drinking what they give you; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house. Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you; and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ But whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, ‘Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.’ 

In other words, "Do not insist or 'bombard' anyone with the Gospel of Peace" for it is not the nature of shalom (God's peace, the word that concludes the Aaronic Benediction in Numbers 6:22-26), even shake the dust of your feet and go elsewhere. - Jesus said. Don not waste time.

To God flesh and blood has but little meaning. God is Spirit. To Jesus His blood relatives had no meaning at all.

[Matthew 12:48-50] Someone said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You.” But Jesus answered the one who was telling Him and said, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Behold My mother and My brothers! “For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother.”

SPIRITUAL TRUE CONNECTION:

[Mark3:33-35] Answering them, He said, “Who are My mother and My brothers?” Looking about at those who were sitting around Him, He said, “Behold My mother and My brothers! “For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.”

SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP:

[Luke 8:19-21] And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd. And it was reported to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You." But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”

The attachment to just the flesh; turns us into fleshly people, but it does not mean that we should not care for our blood relatives, we should, but they also have the free will and their own private lives.

Imagine & Think

A powerful faith is always intelligent

Let’s imagine that you have no brain, you live, but in a vegetating kind of state. You may breathe, but no muscle moves because it has no physical brain to command it and to coordinate any movement. The physical commander is the brain; because of the commander’s absence the entire structure remains motionless.

Let’s imagine God who is Spirit (John 4:24) having no contour or physical mass. Many people worship His creation as they would worship God; hence, these people keep on attaching body to the Spirit. This need, to touch and physically see, is enormous. 

[Deuteronomy 4:15-18] So watch yourselves carefully, since you did not see any form on the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire, so that you do not act corruptly and make a graven image for yourselves in the form of any figure, the likeness of male, or female, the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky, the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water below the earth.    

A blessing awaits anyone who has not physically touched, tasted or seen, and yet has believed, but with what kind of faith, blind or educated; hence also intelligent? We glorify faith itself as something magical, so many nurture only wishful thinking in this regard. A blind faith is fruitless, and it does not come from the disciplined creative part of our being, but rather from the primitive one. Like a Neanderthal that believes that he can make a kill with his javelin; so he stalks and runs toward the prey. If that kind of a faith is also applied to God, and the supernatural works; then one runs, huffs, and puffs but to nowhere.  

[John 20:27] Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.
   
An educated faith is quite different from anything else we have ever come across. For example: Philip heard the Holy Spirit telling him to join the Ethiopian Eunuch. Philip did hear, but hearing alone does not do the job. It’s like a flying plane that never lands. Once Philip had obeyed God’s voice, he then landed on the ground and did some work. He shared the Gospel, baptized the man and then went on his way, but then that same Holy Spirit snatched him and transported him to the Azotus street, where another mission awaited Philip (Acts 8:40). That’s an educated, or intelligent faith. That faith must bring forth the intended fruit for which it was sent; it must land on the ground like that plane, which was not only designed to fly, but also to take off and land somewhere else.

Faith is God’s gift; (1 Corinthians 12:9) this divine power affects the miraculous in our lives. The exclusion of this possibility brings harmful sadness into our lives, which blinds us for we have limited ourselves to just the tangible and the seen. We activate only the natural man and neglect the spiritual man. Just as there is the need to prepare a place for love or peace in our lives, we must also prepare room for God’s gift of faith. 

An animal is hungry so it forages in order to satisfy the need for food. Predatory creatures hunt. We work and earn money, buy food, or go to a restaurant, but this kind of faith is called little (Matthew 6:30). The frontal lobe has little to do with this kind of faith. It is the limbic system that coordinates our movements just as it does in a pack of wolves working out their hunting strategies.

Inspiration

Elijah the prophet anoints Elisha the farmer

We have not yet put aside the war implements. We have not done what Elisha did when the higher call came. The farmer quickly killed his oxen and started a fire. He boiled the meat and fed his workers. He said goodbye to his parents and went off to a new life and new reality. A similar “train” (challenge) arrived in the American colonies more than two centuries ago. The Founding Fathers “boarded” it and took us on a ride. Where is that “train” today?

This snail-like progress is no progress at all. We know so much already, but we slow ourselves down. Making a technological leap forward with perfect products would lead to greater possibilities, and then we would be ready to make another giant leap forward, even bigger than the previous one. But, fear prevents most from thinking this way because they are comfortable holding on to the Status Quo.

The Google boys

Compared to what God has laid before us, our destiny, we have achieved little. We do not praise God, for we have too much praise for ourselves. Yet the source of all inspiration comes from Him, in every part of our society—arts, business and religion

When the Google boys started, they envisioned something that hardly anyone else did at that time. They only needed start-up funds. It took them some time to get them. Today, what would we do without the Google search engine? There is a lesson in history, but it takes a fast learner to make the jump ahead of time.

The Apple Man

Apple’s Steve Jobs put himself under a lot of strain. The visionary saw much more than what we use today. The late Steve Job is greatly missed. Someone must always break the ground; these are individuals that God chooses to pay the price, even with their lives, while others quickly capitalize on the invention. But, that drastically slows down our progress. For a change, how about making your brain ‘sweat’ a little, but this time let it be mixed with a higher percentage of the altruistic sentiment? Try it. It’s very inspiring. The cash wagon will arrive at your doorstep anyway.

If you spend all your energy searching for that cash wagon, then you will waste the precious time. But, if you use the mercy factor, and enrich humanity with the God given inspiration then prosperity is inevitable. It’s a matter of making the right choice and having the right priority.

The Penicillin man

Most inventions happened by accident, and in a relaxed state of mind: Newton’s discovery of gravity, Fleming’s discovery of penicillin. Money was not the motivator. Tranquil peace is the breeding ground for all great inventions in all sectors of our society. 

Give a little love to others, and you will be surprised at what comes out of you. All of a sudden you will feel that glorious and most intelligent stream of God’s inspiration. Don’t think about territory, and the glory that comes with it. Forget about praise and those endless stares of respect. Don’t let those things be your motivator. I’ve heard so many preachers (myself included) say, “They will see the glory of God on your face; they will see Christ in you.” No way. No one looks for Christ in you or wants to recognize God’s glory in you, but only their own. At most, they’ll say that you are an unusual man or a woman, that you are special, kind, or interesting. But, that’s enough to make them listen to you, for what you say or write will eventually have a chance of changing their lives. However, that will happen only with their permission. Others will compare themselves with you, for after all they crave grandeur and respect. That’s the only reason why they will listen to you, to be inspired to greatness. Many others are unwilling to ford rivers or climb mountains, for they are just too opportunistic. They want it all for free, and when they are not able to get it, in their frustration, they might turn against you. It’s sad, but true. This is the reality in which we live. Can we change it? Can we turn things around? Yes we can. We just need the proper inspiration.

Last Reformation

Early Reformators

The purpose of the reformation is to reveal God's absolute sovereignty. 

In time the Almighty God became less than the ALL MIGHTY because the other half is occupied by Satan who has become the god of this world; and the prince of darkness--but only in our mind and not in truth. Hence, Truth & Illusion. 

What is illusion, and what is truth is explained in detail. Why the last reformation? - It is the purifying power of God for just as it is written in 1 Corinthians 14:33, "God is not a God of confusion but of peace" the fruit of reformation is peace. 

Also, God's name is not Theology but I AM that I AM, YHVH, derived from YEHEE - I HAVE BEEN, HAYA - I AM NOW, HOVEH - I WILL ALWAYS BE. At the same time God's name holds the words of life CHEI. He is life; hence undefinable by theology, which cannot be frozen in time.

Pagans chose gods for themselves. God chose us and revels Himself to us and then he teaches us His ways, character and His heart.  

The way we believe in Him is not settled and framed like with a picture frame. We do not define Him through our beliefs, but study Him with an open mind. If we do define Him then we make another dogma out God and that is paganism. 

The seeking and studying is most pleasing to Him the Scripture says. 

[Jeremiah 29:13] "You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." 

A mind focused on Him by seeking Him in truth is being renewed not with man's dogmas, but the heavenly truth.  

[Isaiah 26:3] "The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, because he trusts in You."

Trust and confidence comes from true knowledge and not from interpretation. Subjective interpretation of "God's Love Letter" to us - His Word - is often an insult to the writer of the letter. Asking questions and seeking Him, seeking the Truth in His letter contains brings the steadfast, and focused mind. That pleases God, just as it would please me when the true intent of my letter to you is fully understood. 

The renewed mind renews our entire being. As a result the Bride of Christ (of Yeshua - our salvation) is without spot or wrinkle; and is ready to meet the bridegroom, even as the five wise virgins.

Success

Final Success

Living well, healthy in mind, soul and body, having enough life energy means success.

Waning strength loses success, which begins to slip away. Vanity, is what Solomon said about life at the sunset of his days. Vanity comes when success, which even the great Solomon had achieved, goes into hiding. All that one accumulated becomes as a moth-eating, a rusted metal and a rotten wood achievement.

The success is when one walks with the Creator and He loves you as much as He did Enoch. Success is when you never get ill, have no fear of any kind and are like wind. You come and go and no one knows where you came from and where you are going. The born of the Spirit, born of God, sins no more and is even unable to sin anymore. That means he or she stopped hurting others and self. Peace and joy became their permanent character. That's the true success.
