Matt.
13: 24 – 29
Another
parable put he forth unto them, saying,
“The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
But
while men (his servants) slept, his enemy came
and
sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
But
when the blade was spring up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
So
the servants of the householder came and said unto him,
Sir,
didst not thou sow good seed in thy field?
From
whence then hath it tares?
He
said unto them, An enemy hath done this.
Wilt
thou then that we go and gather them up?
But
he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares,
ye
root up also the wheat also.”
Hopefully,
readers will realize that the 'man' spoken
of
in verse 24 is representative of Jesus.
The
enemy in verse 25 is none other than Satan. What you may have overlooked is, that the servants in this story represent 'THE
SLUMBERING CHURCH.'
For
anyone who does not yet understand this, you
can
jump ahead to verses 37 thru 39.
In
verse 37 Jesus says very plainly that the one who
sowed
the 'good seed' is the Son of Man referring of course,
to
himself.
In
verse 38 Jesus goes on explain that the good seed
are
the children of the (God's) kingdom.
He
also says in this verse 38 that the tares are the
'children
of the wicked one'.
So
much then for the widely popular saying,
that
( we are ALL God's children )
We
all have to choose whether we will believe
what
Jesus said, OR , what the likes of, let's say, an Oprah Winfrey preaches.
'WAKE
UP CHURCH'
How
someone who claims to be a Christian can listen
to
such drivel day after day is beyond me.
Not
only do 'many' Christians (so called) listen to such
utter
nonsense but they hang on every word like it
was
coming straight from the mouth of God.
Even
more amazing is the fact that they see absolutely
'nothing'
wrong in doing so.
'WAKE
UP CHURCH'
MANY
have listened so long to the lullaby of the world
until
they can no longer even distinguish between what is
Godly,
and what is Un-Godly, between what is Good, and what is Evil. Confusion reigns supreme in Jesus' CHURCH, and sadly to say,
MANY
have 'chosen' to believe that a long spiritual nap
is
just what Jesus ordered.
Guess
what?
WRONG!
Jesus
said, 'WATCH' and 'PRAY'.
By
in large the CHURCH does.
The
largest percentage of BELIEVERS
(so
claiming at least) do WATCH and PRAY,
but
the real question is
'what'
are they watching and 'what'
are
they praying for?
To
far too MANY, or so it seems,
God
has become nothing more
that
some kind of 'beck and call god'
who
is called upon only in times of extreme
emergency,
or an overpowering attack of lust.
“I want”, “I want”, “I WANT”.
WAKE
UP CHURCH
The
good seed that Jesus sowed is the Word of
the
Living God. The enemy comes immediately to
dig
it back up. He does this by creating doubts that
Jesus
did not really mean what he said. He does
not
need to do this personally because he has
many,
Many, MANY children who are only 'too
happy'
to do 'THEIR' father's bidding.
These
are called TARES.
Beware,
tho their teeth may be pearly white
and
they have enough makeup on to paint
a
battleship, and tho they speak in a voice
so
sweet that it sounds like sugar would NOT
melt
in their mouths,
we
need to awaken and realize that their
words
are every bit as poisonous as any
venomous
serpent.
'WAKE
UP CHURCH'
Jesus
meant exactly what he said and ALL who
say
otherwise are nothing less than liars
and
not only are they NOT to be believed,
BUT,
not to be listened too either.
In
today's high tech world of computers I can think
of
no better analogy than, GARBAGE in GARBAGE out.
How
very 'subtle' are both the voice of
our
enemy Satan and the voices of multitudes of those
who
are, in reality, Satan's children, NOT God's.
The
CHURCH of Jesus Christ has become
so
intoxicated
on
the spirit of this world
because
that's the only thing they
feed
continually into their spirits.
So
MANY Christians (so called at least) have put so many things
ahead
of Jesus that he hardly even rates a
passing
thought.
Todays
'slumbering Church' has created
so
many false God's
and
placed them all above the very God
who
created and loves them.
The
inevitable result is
that
they now look, act, talk
and
LIVE exactly like the WORLD.
'WAKE
UP CHURCH'
Stop
listening to every voice that loves
to
pipe while you dance.
They
are nothing more than the tares
that
Satan has sown among us.
Learn
to look, listen and realize
what
is happening.
Exactly
as Jesus predicted and warned of in Rev. 2: 4 ,
MANY
have left their FIRST LOVE.
Drawn
away by their own lust.
I'm
speaking here of the MANY
who
first heard the gospel of Jesus Christ
and
fell head over heels in love
with
this man.
This
man who gave his
very
life in exchange for theirs.
Where
does this same Jesus rate in their life today? Where indeed? That is the SIXTY-FOUR dollar question that every person
must
answer for his or her self.
!WAKE
UP CHURCH!
I
am not for sure and for certain
of
exactly how many times the CHURCH
has
been warned to WATCH and PRAY
in
God's Word. My first thought would be
'A
LOT'
By
in large the CHURCH does.
They
do WATCH and they do PRAY.
They
WATCH Oprah like she was some oracle
sent
by God and they 'do' PRAY.
They
mostly PRAY for more, More,
and
MORE. Dear God, give me more STUFF.
They
worship before a electronic beast
which
spews forth and glorifies sin continually. All the while they do so,
their
spirits are being fed
on
vanity and greed.
“Get what you deserve.”
“Live the good life.”
“You deserve a break today”.
If
you believe only one thing written in this article,
BELIEVE
THIS.
The
last thing you want to GET,
is
'what you deserve'.
We
are barraged 24/7 with the lust of the flesh,
the
lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.
There
are 24 hours in a day.
Fourteen
Hundred and forty minutes.
How
many of those minutes do you reserve
for
the 'ONLY' ONE who was willing to die
for
YOUR sins?
Let's
say you need 8 hours sleep, 8 hours for work
and
2 hours for preparing and eating meals.
That
would total 18 hours and leave you 6 hours
for
endeavors of your choosing.
What
part of those 6 hours
do
you give to Jesus?
That
6 hours equals 360 minutes.
Does
Jesus rate even one TENTH of that?
Thirty-six
minutes a day?
What
have YOU chosen
to
do with your leisure time?
Let's
say you might be a 'dedicated' Oprah lover.
HEY!
Oprah is not about to die for YOU!
She
will however joyfully LIE to you.
She
will continually dig up the good seed that
was
planted in you.
Listen
to her version of the gospel !
“God would NEVER send anyone to Hell
just
because they
didn't
believe in Jesus
because
God is Love!”
Well,
La -Te- Da!
So
He IS.
News
flash Church!
God
is not SENDING anyone to
Hell.
He
never has !
Now
get this straight Church.
All
of mankind was doomed to Hell
long
before God ever sent Jesus.
God
in his mercy knew we could 'Never' become sinless
and
perfect enough to inherit his Kingdom,
to
live in his presence, BUT,
'because
of' his great LOVE and MERCY
He
made for us
a
way out.
That
way was Jesus, it always HAS been
and
always WILL be.
All
who come preaching anything contrary
to
this has simply come preaching
another
gospel.
Galatians
1: 8 – 9 Says very plainly,
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that
which
we have preached unto you,
let
him be accursed.” Verse 9 - “As we
said
before, so say I now again,
if
any man (person) preach any OTHER
gospel
unto you, than that you have
received,
let him be accursed.”
Ever
person now has two choices.
You
either have to choose to believe
that
these two scriptures are God's Word,
or
whether the gospel according to Oprah
is
the TRUE gospel.
Am
I condemning Oprah Winfrey.
No
way JOSE !
Am
'I' condemning the false gospel
she
preaches?
You'd
better believe it ! But not I really
because
all false gospels are already
condemned
by God. You just read what
he
said. I can only agree with him.
You
need to realize that God is the Creator of all things,
NOT
OPRAH !
God
can NOT lie and Oprah just did.
God
alone is The Creator of ALL things
and
that includes Us.
He
ALONE has the right to decide what
is
required for Salvation.
News
flash!
God
is GOD!
Oprah
is NOT, NOT, NOT!
Our
God made only ONE
way
for us, NOT Oprah.
He
gave you and me a choice.
You
can choose to believe the God who made us,
the
God who paid our price for us,
OR,
you
can choose
to
believe some self-glorifying BIMBO
whose
every 'good deed' is done only for the purpose
of
being seen by men,
which
in turn,
is
only 'her way' of becoming
even
richer in this world's goods.
WAKE
UP CHURCH!
You
stand to loose a whole lot more that just
the
hundred or so pounds Oprah has lost over and
over
and over.
She
would be much better served
trying
to figure where it all went
and
how it keeps coming back.
AND,
from where.
No
one should be preaching a gospel
they
do NOT understand nor believe.
Perhaps
there was a day when you 'knew'
that
God and
'HE
alone' was God.
You
have fed you mind and spirit with so much
drivel
until you're no longer certain
that
Jesus is even real?
Certainly
not sure enough to give up
your
life of ease and pleasure.
'WAKE
UP CHURCH'
“I really intended to spend time with Jesus Sunday
BUT,
the Super Bowl was on.”
Oh
really! What about Monday?
Uh,
Uh, well I got home late from work and had to watch
all
my favorite soaps that I taped on Tivo!
Perhaps
on Tuesday you weren't feeling all that well so you just
decided
to kick back until you felt better!
Hey,
another news flash.
You
ain't fixing to get better
so
you might as well
call
one of your other 'little gods' (your doctor),
and
beg
him for some more anti-depressants.
You
can rest assured that you 'ARE'
going
to need them.
Until
you learn that people were never intended
to
be made into ' little gods' and return to
the
ONE and ONLY God there is,
you
are on the BROAD WAY which leads
only
to destruction.
Men
and women were NEVER intended to be 'gods'.
Can
you dig down deep enough into your memory
to
recall that this same vain desire
was
the downfall for a certain
creation
of God.
Can
you remember God's
promised
destiny for him?
Humans
can NOT handle being worshiped and
and
just having that desire to BE worshiped
will
ultimately lead to your destruction.
It
does not matter if that someone is the world's
greatest
golfer, ball player, movie star or
T.V.
Icon.
'WAKE
UP CHURCH'
It's
time to get honest. Learn to listen to the
words
that come from your own mouths.
Jesus
said it best when he spoke the words
“Out of the abundance of the heart, the
mouth
speaketh.”
It
matters not whether it's a person, a thing, or whatever.
Your
false god can be anything you give your time,
your
life and your every waking thought to.
WAKE
UP CHURCH
You
aren't any more likely to have time for Jesus
tomorrow
than you did today.
Stop
lying to yourself.
The
darkest days 'ever known to mankind'
are
upon us and things WILL get much worse before
they
get better.
This
is NOT the day or the season
for
putting aside Jesus.
If
you can find a reason for doing that today, you
will
most assuredly find another reason tomorrow.
'WAKE
UP CHURCH'
Not
only have you fallen asleep
but
you're as much to blame
for
that happening
as
are the deceivers who deceive.
Another
new flash!
Church
is not some place you go to on Sundays
or
perhaps only on Easter.
The
CHURCH is you.
Every
voice you CHOOSE to listen
too,
will determine what you end up believing.
You
dozed peacefully while they sang
you
their lullabys
Your
spirit has grown so dull of hearing
that
you can NO longer discern
between
Good and EVIL.
Would
you like to know why?
The
answer is simple.
You
loved having it so,
WHY?
Because
it was the 'EASY' way.
It
was the EASY way and it was exactly
what
your flesh 'wanted' to hear.
'WAKE
UP CHURCH'
Every
one who comes within your hearing was not
sent
by God.
Beware
of anyone and everyone
who
comes talking about Jesus
like
he was real but then turns
around
and plants doubts about
anything
Jesus said.
Had
you 'made time' to stay in God's Word,
you
would have known that.
Yes,
Yes, I know. You would have if only
there
weren't
so
many important things to do.
Answer
me a question!
A
hundred years from now, will you even be able
to
remember what you watched on Oprah today?
I
don't think so!
In
a hundred years will you even remember
who
won the Super Bowl this year?
How
about who was the champion ten years ago?
Allow
me to let you in on a little secret.
In
a hundred years from now
the
ONLY thing that 'WILL MATTER” is
whether
or not you had time for Jesus today.
Today's
gospel is “I WANT, I WANT, I WANT
and
ME FIRST.
Translated
into the most simple of terms
it
means, “I WANT ME FIRST.”
The
message of this article is simple. It is plainly
written
and in easy to understand words.
It
does NOT matter one iota what some smooth
talking
clown or 'clown-ess' has told you about anything.
The
Truth-twisters you choose to believe today
can
NOT determine your eternal destiny
unless
YOU CHOOSE
to
let them.
These
little 'gods and goddesses'
will
not even be able to save themselves much
less
anyone else.
All
of your idols that you now so willingly worship
will
NOT be able to save you.
There
is only ONE who can.
His
name is JESUS and
his
message today is also simple.
Listen
carefully and you will 'never' again
be
able to say you were not
WARNED.
This
is Jesus' message to ALL those
who
call themselves by his name.
You
can 'NOT' be a Christian if you believe
it's
okay with God for you to murder unborn babies.
You
can NOT be a Christian if you 'justify'
those
who do.
You
can NOT be a Christian
if
you LIE, Cheat and Steal
just
to satisfy your own lusts.
You
are only 'self deceived' and it will NOT
matter
who your deceivers were.
The
deceivers will pay for 'their' own sins
and
YOU will pay for 'yours'.
Jesus
gave up everything he had to
give
you the right to choose
where
and with whom,
you
wanted to spend YOUR eternity.
What
will YOUR choice be?
Will
you choose to be a
child
in God's Kingdom,
OR,
a child of the wicked one?
Will
you cling and hold fast to the 'WORDS OF LIFE'
that
God sent HIS Son to speak?
OR,
will
you continue to worship some clown
who's
'only love' is for themselves.
Jesus
is 'calling' HIS CHURCH to repentance
and
back to trusting in Him.
Jesus
'ONLY' can give us the strength
to
live a Godly life.
'WAKE
UP CHURCH'
It
is entirely possible that this short little article
will
be the 'LAST CALL' you'll ever get.
Many
have went to bed and never again awakened in this world.
It
is highly unlikely that when they fell asleep
that
they were expecting that.
The
tares 'will be' GATHERED and burned and it
will
make absolutely NO difference
whether
you believe that or not.
Jesus
is the TRUTH and He does NOT
lie.
Men
(and women) can and 'very often' DO.
You
'WILL' spend eternity with the God of
your
own choosing.
If
that god turns out to be some man,
some
woman, or some thing
please
at least be honest about it.
Don't
blame God should you end up
in
Hell.
The
only ones who will spend eternity
there
will be the ones
who
chose other things over seeking God.
This
short little message you just read here
can
only end in one conclusion.
I
end this short writing with two
questions
and a statement.
Do
you really believe you can have
NO
TIME for Jesus in this life and then inherit eternal
life?
Do
you REALLY, REALLY, REALLY believe that?
I
DON'T believe that for one moment
and
NEITHER DO YOU.
My
advice to the Church is simple.
'WAKE
UP'
