2 Types of Children

August 9th, 2022

Overview

Where are my gardeners at? I know you guys will understand this one, well anyone actually but if you’re a gardener I understand your frustration. The frustration with weeds! 

You plant this beautiful garden; roses, grapes, tomatoes, watermelon and whatever else, I don’t know what you may have planted but I do know exactly what you did not plant. WEEDS. No gardener I know of plants weeds. These are unwanted guests we can do without! Weeds just seem to appear out of nowhere! And the thing is you can’t pull weeds up in the beginning because you might pull up what you planted. Because it’s difficult to tell a weed from a seedling in the very beginning because they look alike when they first sprout out from the ground. So you have to wait. This is found in the parable of the tares of the field.

Mathew 13:30, 36-39 Parable of the Tares of the Field

We can see it played out here in scripture, let’s take a look:

30

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

36

Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

37

He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

38

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

39

The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

So you see the enemy comes into the night and sows bad seeds, the weeds. Now these types of weeds look JUST LIKE REAL WEEDS. If you were to separate them now then you would pull up the good wheat along with the weeds. But the strategy is to wait until maturity. Now you can tell them apart plus “ you will know them by their fruit”. At maturity it is harvest time and even if you pull up a weed and a wheat it’s ok because the wheat is ready to harvest.

I tell you what in my early life I was living just like a weed. But now in maturity I can praise God I’m a wheat! But when the harvest came when I was younger, I looked just like a weed and I thank God for his mercy and patience! Amen!

1John 3:10

Now this is interesting. Did you know the devil has children?

1 John 3:10

“In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.”

 So the question is when did this happen? When did the devil have children?

Genesis 3:14-15

14

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

15

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Here we see Adam and Eve have just fallen and the serpent is not only cursed but it describes 2 different types of SEED and that the seed from the woman will bruise his head.

Oh it’s ON NOW! The battle just got turned up a notch!!! 

So now the devil knows something. He now knows that the offspring of the woman will overcome him and he now wants to stop it! 

Let’s look at what happens next!

1 John 3:11

11

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

12

Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.

Wow it didn’t take long for the devil to attack. He influenced Cain to kill his brother. It says Cain was OF the wicked one. Why? The devil doesn’t know the timing. He’s been guessing WHEN is this offspring going to come that will defeat him? 

That’s why King Herod did what he did remember?

Matthew 2:16

“Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.”

 Remember King Herod was trying to find out where this baby(Jesus) was born? He said to the wise men hey I want to know so I can worship him! Um ya right! When the wise men didn’t come back King Herod(through the devil) tried to kill all babies hoping one of them would be baby Jesus. 

The devil is still trying to stop the offspring of the woman from defeating him.

2 seeds

So there’s the 2 seeds.  Interesting isn’t it? It’s like we are in a huge garden of life. Makes you think wow I could be living next to a weed! Is my neighbor a weed? Is my coworker a week? 

I mean you don’t know until maturity and we are to go out and preach the good news so that there may be some that LOOK LIKE WEEDS RIGHT NOW but they’re just not mature YET!

This should help you:

Matthew 7:16

16

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

This verse is so important. Do not go by outward appearances. I don’t care if they do miracles or if they wear a nice suit. You will KNOW them by their fruit. 

If you are seeing evil fruit then there you go now you know. People often go by outward appearances but listen to the Holy Spirit and look at their fruit, amen!

Father God

I ask for discernment to know the difference between a wolf in sheep’s clothing and a true sheep. Between the seed of the children of God and the seed of the wicked one. May the strategies of the evil one come to nothing in my life and my family’s lives, in the mighty name of Jesus I pray amen.

I truly love you all,
