Being “ALL IN” Battling the Muck and the Mire!

As we go through life we will have times when we have to deal with the muck and the mire of life just go through it or a round it.

When things that are going on a round you that you don’t like you have to learn to deal with it, until the right time comes along.

Pastor Jerry has really been hitting on Being ALL IN for 2020 and that mean we press on and push through the difficult things in life so we can be who and do what God has called us to do.

Sometimes it is very hard and challenging, but it can and is usually very rewarding as we fulfill the call of the Lord in our lives.

We are going to look at the parable of the wheat and the tares!

The wheat is good!

The wheat is good!

The tare is bad!

But they have to coexist for a season and then they are to be separated from one another.

Matthew 13:24-30

He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field; but while everybody was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away.

So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well.”

N Jesus explained that the kingdom grows quietly and abundantly, yet evil still exists in the world.

After the plants have grown, the owner’s servants report the surprising appearance of the weeds.

Jesus did not identify the servants in his explanation of this parable.

The servants knew the master had sowed good seed.

So we ask ourselves where did these bad seed come from!

So let me ask you this are church goers christians and going to Heaven?

They may be people in the church who appear to be believers but who never truly believe.

To interpret the meaning more broadly—the kingdom of God is present and growing in a world full of sin and unbelief.

God will not eliminate all opposition until the end of the age.

We will see in 2Peter that the church is warned about false teachers and prophets.

2 But mfalse prophets also arose among the people, njust as there will be false teachers among you, who will osecretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master pwho bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth qwill be blasphemed.

3 And rin their greed they will exploit you swith false words.

tTheir condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

tTheir condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

The enemy, Satan (13:39), is always working to obstruct the growth of God’s kingdom.

The enemy caused a problem, but the weeds could not stop the growth of the wheat.

The wheat just grew alongside the weeds.

So the servants dutifully asked if they should go and pull up the weeds.

When you gather the bad you will always hurt the good too, so it is better allow them to grow up together and then they will be separated at the right time.

What is this saying the day of judgment is coming and the children of God will enter into Heaven and the children of the Satan will be consumed by the firry pit.

pit.

This why it say the wheat will be stored in the barns and the weeds will be burned.

Jesus also shares about the mustard seed faith and how important it is to have faith that you are ALL IN on!

Why because it grows, and grows, and grows and grows!

The more we are ALL IN we will grow in our faith and have less and less doubt, stress, worry, anxiety and fear about what the future holds and what the Lord has plan for you.

Can I show you what a mustard seed looks like, would you like one!

Do you not think Jesus know the beginning from the end and the end from the beginning?

I want to close with this in mind, so I want you to listen to what this passage from Jeremiah says when you have faith and know what true faith is.

Jeremiah 29:12-14

Here is what this passage is telling us!

When we are “ALL IN” and

You

When you call on Him and pray He will hear

When you seek Him with all your heart you will be found

He will restore you

He will bring you back from your pain, hurt, fear, anxiety your exile!

Listen we all live in a fallen world that is in real need of a Savior named Jesus who loves them and desires to help them, but the caveat they have to want Him!
