\"\"\u201c…His disciples came to Him and said, \u2018Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.\u2019 And He said, \u2018The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels.\u2019<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

“So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.\u201d <\/em>(Mat 13:36-43)<\/span><\/p>\n

J<\/span>ournal,<\/p>\n

Some of my readers may not take lightly to this journal entry. Rarely do I share an entry that deals with the negatives. However, it is always best to be forewarned when it comes to the false movements that are abounding today. So, here goes. Please consider what I have to share. You can judge for yourself if it is of the Lord.<\/p>\n

In Matthew 13<\/span>, there are seven kingdom parables. Each parable addresses an essential truth.\u00a0The parable of the tares is second of the kingdom parables.<\/p>\n

The Lord explains that there *will* be tares planted among the\u00a0wheat. (Cf. Matt13:24-30) The wheat represents the children of God. The tares are the sons of the evil one. Throughout the church age this battle will continue.<\/p>\n

That doesn’t sound so difficult, does it? After all, all we just need to\u00a0do is look for a son of evil one? Surely someone of this caliber would\u00a0stand out from everyone else!?<\/p>\n

Well, it isn’t as easy as it may seem. And this goes to the heart of the parable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The tare instills ruinous heresy<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The disciples were familiar with the symbols Jesus used. The tares in the parable would be the ‘bearded’ tare, or darnell tare. This tare looks very much wheat, especially while it is growing. It takes a trained eye to recognize the difference. In the parable the workers went to sleep. When a flock lacks proper Biblical guidance and ‘alert’ mature spiritual leadership, this is where the tare can begin to do his damage.<\/p>\n

The bearded tare is poisonous. If it is\u00a0mixed with wheat, and ingested, it can cause sickness, and\u00a0possibly death. This is why the tares have to be harvested out\u00a0of the wheat,\"\" before the wheat can be harvested. But who can do it\u00a0properly? Only the Lord. And He uses angels for this work.<\/p>\n

The tares and their false doctrines have always been a major cause for spiritual weakness among believers. False doctrines are man centered. Rather than produce a genuine maturing in a believer’s life, they create a false bond between the believer and the false teacher.<\/p>\n

It is because of these false bonds that you find some believers who chase after various teachers, prophets, and movements. They reach for every new ism<\/em> that moves with the wind. These weak believers have never learned what Biblical spirituality and maturity is about.<\/p>\n

Paul address this issue:<\/p>\n

“As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ.”<\/em> (Eph 4:14,15)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

The original godhood lie<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is an example of a noted Charismatic teacher making pure mockery of God. If you are unable to see the mockery here then I pray that the Lord opens your eyes. This man makes God out to be a fool. He twists and turns the Scriptures to mean something that they do not mean. He has Adam giving life to the animals, and not God. This kind of teaching abounds in the ‘We are gods’<\/span><\/em> teachings that are making rounds in certain movements today. Judge for yourself.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What you heard in the afore video are elements of the original lie that Satan used on Eve. It can be considered the mother of all lies. Understand this and you are on your way to realizing how this same lie is making its rounds in large portions of the Charismatic movement today.<\/p>\n

\u2018The lie\u2019 was that Adam and Eve could be exactly what God is, therefore they would have no need for God. They themselves would be gods. And this is the very\u00a0lie being pushed today. It is insidious because people do not realize that it actually undermines the Lordship of Jesus Christ in a person\u2019s life. If I can do everything Jesus does, then why would I need Jesus. (Think about it.)<\/p>\n

\"\"Most false-doctrine groups have the godhood lie built into them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The power of the tare and of false doctrine<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In Samaria there was a man named Simon, who claimed to be\u00a0someone great. Everyone gave attention to him. They thought he\u00a0was from God. After all, he could do supernatural things. When\u00a0Philip came to town and began preaching the gospel, people began to\u00a0turn to Jesus by the multitudes. Guess who gets baptized? You\u00a0got it. Simon the sorcerer.<\/p>\n

Simon was a false believer. He had no intention of turning from his occult works. As Simon sees the wonders done by Philip, he needs to associate with that power. And when he sees people being filled with the Holy Spirit through the hands of the apostles. He wants that power! He has to have it. So Simon begins with the money exchange.<\/p>\n

Peter recognizes right away that Simon is a ‘tare.’ He says,<\/p>\n

“May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could\u00a0obtain the gift of God with money! You have no part in this matter,\u00a0for your heart is not right before God. Therefore repent of this\u00a0wickedness of yours, and pray that, if possible, the intention of\u00a0your heart may be forgiven you.” <\/em><\/span>(For full story see Acts 8:4-24)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Church history tells us that Simon never repented. He\u00a0continued in his sorcery, and came to beguile of many souls. Simon began a gnostic group that\u00a0tried to undermine the Christian faith. His followers began to call on him as a god. (According to Justin Martyr.)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do not ignore the warnings<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There is a Scriptural setting that is easy to\u00a0misunderstand and yet it provides a special warning that Jesus gives for end time\u00a0events. It centers on what the term ‘Christ’ actually means.\u00a0Christ and Messiah both\"\" mean ‘the anointed one.’<\/p>\n

The Lord warns about\u00a0‘special anointed places,’ <\/em>and ‘special anointed ones.’<\/em> These anointed ones claim to speak for God. Yet they are producing chains of bondage that the misguided and immature is unable to recognize. Think about it for a moment and you will\u00a0find where the pieces fit.<\/p>\n

Now the warning \u2013<\/p>\n

“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the\u00a0Christ [the anointed one]<\/span>,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe him. For false Christs [anointed ones]<\/span> and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to misled, if possible, even the elect.” <\/em>(Mat24:23,24)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Lord goes on \u2026<\/p>\n

“Behold, I have told you in advance. So if they\u00a0say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or,\u00a0‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ to not believe them.”<\/span><\/em> (At this point the Lord begins to speak of His second coming.)<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"Not only did Jesus warn that there would be a\u00a0sweeping move of a false anointing in the last days, but the Old Testament prophets\u00a0also warned of this. Listen carefully to Jeremiah;<\/p>\n

“…In the last\u00a0days you will clearly understand it. I did not send these prophets,\u00a0but they ran. I did not speak to them, but they prophesied.”<\/em> (Jer23:20,21)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then Jeremiah explains the message of a false prophet. He says\u00a0these prophets lead God’s people astray by their “falsehoods”<\/span><\/em><\/span> and\u00a0“reckless boasting.”<\/em><\/span> (Jer23:32)<\/p>\n

What is the false prophet doing?<\/p>\n

“But had they (the false prophet) stood in My council, then they\u00a0would have announced My words to My people, and would have turned them\u00a0back from their evil way and from the evil of their deeds.”<\/em> (Jer23:22)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The false prophet speaks with a voice of authority, but their\u00a0message reeks of earthly treasures and pleasures. Peter and Jude\u00a0tell us that they merchandise God’s people. With flattery\u00a0(often by personal prophecies, a form of fortune-telling)<\/span> they deceive the hearts of the simple.<\/p>\n

The spirit of sorcery is powerful. Unless it is arrested in some way, it can take on the feeling of a flowing river, of great euphoria, and even sensations in the body. And this is how it deceives someone with appearance of being the Holy Spirit. But the\u00a0happiness is misleading. It is hypnotic and dangerous. It is merely an eroding of a person’s foundation. The result can be a mental institution.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The masquerade<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We think that just because a person is\u00a0speaking in the name of Jesus, and because supernatural things\u00a0are happening, that it has to be from God. This is a mistake no\u00a0believer should ever make. Keep in mind that a false gospel produces false converts<\/p>\n

It appears that the Corinthian Church was bordering on the occult.\u00a0You find this in both of Paul’s letters to the Corinthians. Paul\u00a0explains this, when he says,<\/p>\n

“But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.”<\/em> (2Co11:3)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notice how Paul describes the true Christian walk. It is based on a\u00a0simple devotion to Jesus Christ. No more. No less. It is not based\u00a0on supernatural experiences.<\/p>\n

Now for the occult \u2013<\/p>\n

“For if one comes and *preaches* another\u00a0Jesus who we have not preached, or you *receive* a different spirit\u00a0which you have not received, or a *different gospel* which you have<\/span><\/em>
\n not accepted, you bear this beautifully.”<\/em> (2Co11:4)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do you see the occult warning? Another Jesus! Another spirit!\u00a0Another gospel!\"\"<\/p>\n

If someone doesn\u2019t understand the true gospel, how\u00a0easy it is for the enemy to give a replacement.<\/p>\n

The last thing I wish to share is that it is possible even for a child of God to be misguided for a time, and to get caught up on these false movements. But once your eyes are fully opened to the deception at work, that is when you make your departure. My advise is simple — Don’t ignore the cautions in your own heart.<\/p>\n

And get your eyes back on the glory of the cross.<\/p>\n

I hope some of what I shared will be of help to others.<\/p>\n

In Christ always<\/p>\n
