WHEAT & TARES

[prophetic teaching by 

Neil Shultis, White Horse Ministries]

"...A tare is a weed that is useless for about anything, but when it is grown, or is planted with wheat it has a devastating affect on the crop. The first stages of the tares growth appear to be exactly the same as wheat, only a trained eye can tell them apart. They blend in with the rest of the field, but while they are there are some very specific things happening that hurt the rest of the field. The tare's root system grows in a way that if you try to pull it up, it will also bring the roots of the wheat up with it. The tares will also take valuable food, water, and sunlight away from the wheat causing it to be stunted and less fruitful. After a period of time if the tares are not removed from the wheat field they will take it over and cause the loss of the entire crop. The tares are the evil people in this world. They will cause you to be uprooted. They will steal what you need to grow in Christ. They will pretend to look like everyone else as they seek to destroy what God is growing. They want to take over and when uprooted they can and will destroy people in their path. 

This is what I really want to talk to you about...We are in a time where the wheat and the tares are reaching full growth, full maturity, bearing their fruit and the harvest is approaching. The good and the bad are coming into one of the final power struggles for the harvest of people as the return of Christ is setup. The evil in this world has reached full maturity, it is replicating itself, and is becoming united against God's people. As this happens God's people also have to unite, bring their powers together, and due battle against the invasion that seeks to destroy what God has ordained. The smallest soldier in God's army can disarm the leader of the darkness, the devil. The final outpouring of the Holy Spirit will equip God's people to do war against the finest that the darkness has to offer. A Christian that is not filled with the Spirit, is controlling, or is sitting on the fence is going to be eaten alive. In this current time God is causing trials to come upon His people and there is a great outcry against it, but what we are missing is that the trials, the fire, the struggles we face are what sanctify us and bring us into a place of being more like Him."

 MATTHEW 24:6-14: You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.  All these are the beginning of birth pains.  "Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.  At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,  and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.  Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,  but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.  And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
