“Here is another story Jesus told: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field. But that night as the workers slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat, then slipped away. When the crop began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew. “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?’ “‘An enemy has done this!’ the farmer exclaimed. “‘Should we pull out the weeds?’ they asked. “‘No,’ he replied, ‘you’ll uproot the wheat if you do. Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the weeds, tie them into bundles, and burn them, and to put the wheat in the barn.’”
Matthew 13:24-30
“I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.”
John 15:1-2
Come into His courts with singing and into His presence with praise. Delight yourself in the Lord your God and He will give you the desires of your heart. He is your fortress and strong tower, a very present help in time of trouble.
Every root of iniquity is being dug up and pulled out in this day. Some roots go down deeply into the hearts and lives of the people, but I am the Master Gardener and by My own hand, I am tending to the garden. No root of iniquity will remain in My garden, says the Lord, for I am doing a thorough weeding in the lives of the people. Surrender your heart to the Lord and allow the Gardener to do His work, to dig deeply into the soil and loosen up the ground around the root. Allow Him to uproot pride, anger, greed, idolatry, sexual impurity, lust of the flesh, lust of the eye, immorality, and licentiousness.
This is the day and this is the hour of the great ingathering of a harvest of souls. Every weed is being pulled up and bundled up to be cast into the fire. The wheat is being gathered up and brought into the storehouses of the Lord. The wind of the Spirit is blowing across the land and increasing in speed. As it blows and swirls around, the hearts of men are being turned to the Lord. As it picks up speed, those encompassed by it are being brought into the fullness of the Lord. When the winds reach their maximum strength, the elect shall be taken up in the whirlwind of the Spirit to join the Lord of Hosts in the greatest battle of all time. All the armies of the earth shall gather against the Lord and His elect, but with great speed, the Lord shall crush the enemy beneath His feet, for the nations shall be His and He shall rule with an iron scepter.
In this day, says the Lord, every manmade kingdom is coming down. Every knee shall bow before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Everything that exalts itself will be brought low, for I am cutting it down and just like a saw cuts through a log, I am sawing at it and soon it will be cut off. The sawing is a process and as I apply pressure by the Holy Spirit upon the lives of My people, those things that are of the flesh are being cut off.
Take courage, My people. The work that I am doing is beyond human understanding, but soon you will see the results of the work of My Spirit in your life and in the lives of those around you. It is a work of purifying, of removing unfruitful branches. It is a pruning away of old branches and cutting back of those that are twisted and gnarled and rubbing against others to damage the fresh new growth. In some lives the branches that have to go, are thick and much sawing needs to be done to cut them away. In others, they are cut off quickly.
Allow the Holy Spirit to prune away dead, dry, and deformed branches from your life. Allow the Lord to hew off everything that hinders you from running the race, that holds you back from going forward in the call upon your life. A great wave of My Spirit is going forth throughout the earth. Multitudes are being brought into the Kingdom of God and as they come, they are being brought into the fullness of Christ. Many are trying to enter the wide way, but are finding the path does not lead to life. Many are falling and struggling and will continue to do so until they repent and turn from their wicked ways. Some are crying out, “Which way shall I Go?” for they are realizing that they have been lost, that they have strayed far away. Many are calling upon the name of the Lord for help and are being picked back up onto their feet and turning around and going back to the place where they made the wrong turn on the pathway to life. They are finding food and drink for their souls and are being refreshed along the way. Many have been receiving the rains of righteousness and have been made secure in the Lord. Their roots have gone down deeply to take in the living water of the Spirit of God. These are the ones who will march out to the sound of the coming of the Lord. They are coming into unity in this day, and soon they will march out to take the land. They are the chosen ones, those whom I have called for such a time as this.
