St Matthew, Chapter 13, verse: 30, The Kingdom of Heaven: The Harvest.

Our paragraph topic is:  (Parable of the weeds) Part 5.  

An enemy has done this.  An enemy has spread weeds in the kingdom of heaven and contaminated the good seed.  The servants ask if they should go and gather the weeds out of the field and the master says no.  The master says wait.  The master says do not gather the weeds lest you root up the wheat also.  Do not gather the weeds lest the crop is damaged.  Do not gather the weeds lest the good seed is destroyed.

So, we live today weed and seed growing side by side in the fields of the kingdom of heaven.  But we have a weed killer that protects us from being taken over by the weeds.  We have a weed killer that destroys those weeds that have taken hold of us.  We have a weed killer that will shield us from the tricks of the weeds wherever we go.  All we have to do is take him with us.  All we have to do is keep him close.  All we have to do is allow him to work for us, to protect us, to guide us along the way, to guide us where there are no weeds.  The choice is up to us.

Christ has told his disciples and the people about the parable of the weeds.  He gives them an understanding of the the kingdom of heaven and what has transpired that allowed the weeds to come into the fields of the kingdom.  The servants of the field wanted to know what the master was going to do.  He told them not to root up the weeds but to let them grow along with the good seeds.  Christ tells us what the master said,  "Let both grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will say to the reapers, Gather up the weeds first and bind them in bundles to burn; but gather the wheat into my barn.' "


The weeds will be gathered at harvest time.  The weeds will be put in bundles.  The weeds will be set aside to be burned and discarded.  The wheat will be gathered into the house of the Lord for eternity.  Are you a weed or a seed?  Do you come to destroy or to be gathered into the house of the Lord

Do not be deceived by the tricks of the world.  Do not be tricked by the lies of the enemy.  The weeds will be burned.  The weeds will be separated from the fruit of the good seed and the weeds will be burned.  The weeds want to change you.  The weeds want to wrap their tendrils around you and change you into a weed.  That is their goal, to change all into weeds.  Then all will suffer the fate of being gathered together in bundles and burned.  Do not allow weeds to overtake you.  Do not allow weeds to change you.  They are everywhere.  You cannot escape.  But you can protect yourself with the weed killer, the Holy Spirit.  Come, get your weed blocker, your weed killer.  Seek the Holy Spirit and he will protect you.
