Beware!, of the devil Clever Imitations

Greetings in the Name of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Here on the East Coast of the United States. Our season is moving in to the Summer Months. And most of us love fresh Garden Fresh veggies and fruit  So, I decided that after several years I would plant a Garden. All of My life I've loved to see something grow. But when I read The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares, I got the revelation of what Jesus meant by this teaching.  ( Matthew 13:24-30 ) He taught and gave this illustration  to expose the demonic tactics of Imitation. 

                      Parable of The Wheat and the Tares. 

Matthew 13:24-30 NLT,  Here's another Story Jesus told:  

“ The Kingdom of Heaven is like a Farmer who planted Good Seed in his field. 25) But that night as the Workers slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat, then slipped away. 26) When the Crop began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew. 27) " The Farmer's workers went to him and said, " Sir the field where you planted that Good Seed is full of weeds! Where did they come from?" 28) " An enemy has done this!" the Farmer exclaimed. 

" Should we pull out the weeds? they asked. 

29) No , he replied, you'll uproot the wheat if you do.  30) "Let both grow together until the Harvest. Then I will tell the Harvesters to sort out the weeds, and put the wheat in the Barn." From the Natural point of view of the Wheat & Tares. The tares were actually a plant that came from the darnel seed.  { Darnel is a toxic grassy weed that acts as a mimic plant, looking almost identical to Wheat until Harvest.} So in its early stages it looks exactly like wheat. But as it continues to grow it will reveal itself of what it really is a weed.

So basically the devil followed the patten of the darnel seed in his attacks against the Body of Christ. He is flooding the World with Imitation of the Real. There are many examples in the Bible. In the Book of Exodus Chapter 7 the Egyptians Magicians imitated some of the miracles performed by God through Moses. Turning the rods into snakes. In the Book of Acts 8:9-24, the Sorcerer Simon imitated Phillip.

In closing. The devil knows that a half of a Truth is more dangerous than a lie. When he mimics the Truth it will cause damage and hurt to the Truth more than those that deny the Truth. In the Days we are living  we must guard against falling for half Truths and Imitations and Gospel . What is amazing is that Jesus Christ analogy of the Farmer knows the seeds and can't be fooled by the imitation weed. And that is the Good News of the Harvest.

Until Next time , Stay Blessed in the Lord. ~ GG 

You Are The Architect Of Your Life Foundation

 Welcome to the Month of June! Thank You Jesus for allowing us to witness another Month. We never take for granted Our Life in Him. Blessings to the Reader, May the Blessings of God strengthen you all under His Mighty Power. Amen! I have so much to share but I only can talk from the order that He gives me.  And today is about Trials that test Our Spiritual Foundation . In Luke 6:48-49 ( New Living Translation )

Lets start at Luke 6:46-49 to get the just of verses ( 48-49 )

46) " So why do you call me" Lord, when you won't obey me?   47) I will show you what it's like when someone  comes to me, listens to My teaching, and then obeys Me.  48)  It is like a person who builds a house on a Strong Foundation laid upon the underlying Rock.  When the floodwaters rise and break against the house, it stands firm because it's well built.  49)  But anyone who listens and doesn't obey is like a person who builds a house without a foundation.  When the floods sweep down against that house , it will crumble into a heap of ruins.

From this Teaching Jesus makes it plain comparing the 2 foundations of these homes. And from the times we are living we must constantly check Our Spiritual Home. Amen.  Now from the outside appearances these homes most likely looked alike. They probably had the same floor plans but what set them apart was the foundation. What became obvious was when the flood came. It's the  same way when the floods of life hits us, Our true foundation will be exposed. Here is a question we must ask ourselves, Which foundation have I built my life on ?  Let's look at Home Life Foundations. First the faulty foundations.

This is the person who builds this foundations is known as a " Hearer"  This person may be quick to read, listen, or talk about what Jesus said in His Word but doesn't  apply Jesus teachings to their own life. So when the Life floods comes, and they will , this person will weaken and be ready to give up. Because he or she doesn't have a strong, sure foundation. Now let's look at the Solid and True foundations.

This person builds their foundation is known as a " Doer". This person not only listens to Jesus Teaching, but apply them to their daily life. This person  is able to withstand any storm because he or she is  grounded in the teachings of Jesus. If your house is faulty there is time now to remodel . Only you have the floor plans to make a change. , Jesus gave us the choice.  He is Our sure Foundation. Amen

Until next time, Peace and Blessings to You.
