The Tares Among the Wheat

THE TARES AMONG THE WHEAT

These are spots in your (feasts of) love, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withers, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.  Jude 1:12-13

The Restoration Movement is without a doubt an end time move of the Holy Spirit, beginning with Messianic Judaism and culminating in the present restoration of the House of Ephraim among the nations (Denomi-nations). This end time awakening has seen tens of thousands of believers (Christians) come out of the Church system of Roman servitude and into the pathway of true discipleship and scriptural holiness. This “grass roots” Movement is evident across all nations, and it is moving through every Church denomination of the world. To the Church, these enlightened believers and followers of Christ are part of the “great falling away”, but in the eyes of the almighty, they are the remnant and fulfilment of ancient prophecy.

Sadly, the enemy also understands that this end time Restoration Movement spells out the end of his reign as god of this world; Satan knows that this awakening of the remnant means his time is very short. The Devil and his demon horde is frantically trying to extend their kingdom of hell on earth, and their target is this Restoration Movement. Old Beelzebub is working overtime to pervert and taint this Restoration Move of the Holy Spirit; he is hard at work planting tares among the wheat; and we as a movement are watching his every move and sitting idle out of pure ignorance of scripture. Satan loves to pervert the word of YaHWeH, and one of the most perverted words of scripture is found in Matthew 13:24-30. Satan has this movement convinced that we are not supposed to pull up the tares he plants, and so we let the tares grow and even tend his poisonous seed by giving them platforms to do the work of the enemy. We are being attacked from within our own house, and we ostensibly are handing him the tools and permission to destroy at will. The Parable of the wheat and tares is not teaching us to allow the tares in this movement to continue to grow; the parable is about the world at large and the day of judgement. Paul goes to great length informing us what to do with the tares among our congregations, groups, and yes, this movement

1Co 5:9  I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
1Co 5:10  Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
1Co 5:11  But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
1Co 5:12  For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
1Co 5:13  God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, "YOU MUST REMOVE THE EVIL PERSON FROM AMONG YOU."

Does not Torah teach us this principle? Do we who believe YaHWeH does not change actually believe Yeshua/Jesus came and changed this truth?

Who are these tares among us?

• THOSE WHO USE TORAH TO ABUSE AND ASSAULT ARE BRETHREN IN MESSIAH (CHRISTIAN OR OTHERWISE)

• THOSE WHO ATTACK PAUL AS A FALSE APOSTLE

• THOSE WHO IDENTIFY “JESUS CHRIST” AS THE ANTI-CHRIST

• THOSE WHO CALL THE MOVE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE MOVE OF SATAN (Glossolalia, healings, dancing in the Spirit, etc….)

• THOSE WHO REDEFINE GRACE AS “THE POWER TO KEEP THE LAW”

• THOSE WHO ADD ANYTHING TO THE WORK OF THE CROSS (JUSTIFICATION)

• THOSE WHO REJECT THE APOSTOLIC WRITINGS (N.T.) AS INSPIRED SCRIPTURE

• THOSE WHO ARGUE AND DEBATE THE NAMES OF THE FATHER AND SON

• THOSE WHO OSTENSIBLY STRIP OUR CHRISTIAN BRETHREN OF JUSTIFICATION/SALVATION

• THOSE WHO PERVERT THE CONTEXT OF SCRIPTURE TO JUSTIFY A DOCTRINE/BELIEF

• THOSE WHO TEACH NON-JEWISH BELIEVERS DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP TORAH (M.J.)

• THOSE WHO ELEVATE EXTRA-BIBLICAL WRITINGS ABOVE THE SCRIPTURES, OR MAKE THEM TO BE EQUAL

These are but a few of the works of the tares planted by Satan – and we continue to give them a voice and platform to perpetuate and deceive within this movement. I see bad things coming for this movement (and I do not mean this as a prophetic utterance). The extremes, heresies, and anathema teachings going on in this movement is going to disqualify us as the final restoration movement, if we do not get our house in order. Our target cannot continue to be our Christian brethren who sincerely pursue their relationship with “God” and Jesus Christ our Lord; we must be able to distinguish those in religious bondage from that which holds them in religious bondage – The Church system (and by this I do not mean any particular church congregation). For even the churches are in bondage to The Church system! 

We are going to have to relearn how to move in the Spirit. We are going to have to relearn how to worship in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. This Restoration Movement, which I am blessed to be a part of, is dying from lack of Spiritual sustenance; we fill our guts with “knowledge” and conspiratorial nonsense and think we are healthy – but we are dying of hunger! We reject anything coming from the pulpit, by virtue of it coming from the pulpit. We can no longer recognize error because we have convinced ourselves, or been convinced, that anything going on in the Church is ipso facto error. We who condemn the Church (and Christians) of calling evil good and good evil, are now ourselves guilty of the same sin.

Obviously, I am painting with a very broad brush here, but I am talking about the Restoration Movement as a whole, and not any particular person and or group. I hope that this message will find good ground, and edify the Body of Messiah.

Finally, do not think to yourselves that just because the Movement is from YaHWeH that He will not scrap it and raise up a new generation - a new remnant!
