The Wheat, Tares And Chaff

The wheat and the tares did grow together, but this is the day of resurrection. I AM separating! I AM separating the wheat from the tares. I AM gathering the good wheat in the garner – – the chaff I AM leaving on the outside, and the chaff shall burn with fire unquenchable, but the tares shall be burned within the field, they shall not come to the barnyard. Now is not that wonderful?

We will not even gather the tares in the barnyard. The chaff we will gather with the wheat, and we will leave it on the outside of the corn-mill. But the tares we will not bring to the barnyard. Therefore, I will not gather the harvest of the tares. I will leave them in the field to burn, but the good wheat shall be gathered in the garner and the chaff shall be burned in the barnyard with fire unquenchable.

The Sun Returning

Speaking from a natural point of view, and a point for consideration of the masses, I speak in parables.

The sun that shines today will shine tomorrow. If you happen to see the sun going down, or going towards the West, and apparently going down behind the western hills, be thou faithful , and if you remain here until the same time tomorrow, you will see the same sun returning, and going again.

Then I say, it is a privilege and it is a glorious pleasure to observe such a mystery. When the sunlight of your salvation is apparently leaving you, if you are substantiated in faith and stay in your right place, be not shaken in confidence and remain – the same will return again.

I thank you!

The Ram And The Goat

There was a story told once of a goat – a billy goat. This is a little different story. I will tell you more of it some other time, but I will tell you enough of it at this particular juncture to stir up your pure minds. It is indeed wonderful!

They say there was a goat down on the roadside eating, and also a ram. They said this ram looked up, and the goat saw him, and he started at the ram. Now a sheep is not supposed to fight, especially a lamb. It is indeed wonderful! “But when this goat started after the ram, the ram did not move out of its tracks, apparently, but stood still, and the goat got after him, and when the goat would come up to him, the ram would just – – (Father finished the sentence with a gesture, showing how the sheep rammed the goat.) The goat kept trying it, and he found out the ram’s head was harder than his. Of course, the ram did not leave his place to interfere with the goat.

The Mother Hen

It has been questioned from time to time throughout the world of religion: “For what purpose did Jesus resurrect Lazarus if he was to die again?” It profited nothing as far as he was concerned, saving that he might be used that the Glory of GOD might be seen by him. Millions have believed even until now through and by the resurrection of Lazarus. You see the mystery? By this, Lazarus was resurrected and His Glory was revealed – – I mean the Glory of GOD was revealed by the resurrection of Lazarus from the grave. Aren’t you glad!

Then I say, there is a time and a season for all things. If you notice the mystery of the hand of nature working through and by mother nature, both in vegetation in the animal life, and also in the animalistic kingdom things are expressed or manifested according to the plan and the purpose of GOD.

The Looking Glass

I will tell you again as I have told you in the past, GOD Himself is a looking glass. In GOD you can reflect yourself and you should only be identified in the Christ where you are hid from all sin, crime, violations of all of the laws of GOD and of man and hid from all strife. There is where you can hide, for

“The name of GOD is a strong tower, and
The righteous run therein and is safe.”

“You are hid with Christ in GOD when you are dead and dead indeed.”

“In that you die, you die unto sin;
In that you live, you live unto GOD.”
