There are many tares among the wheat
There are many goats among the sheep
There is much dross among the gold
Thus the precious gold has become dim, the harvest corrupted, the goats running wild among the flock
Yet it will not always be so
Even now the Lord is calling His own to Himself
Even now the trumpet is sounding
Even now the tares are being gathered for burning
Even now He is heating the fire and purifying His own
Even now the people are gathering to Him
Even now the sheep hear His voice and begin to follow, as He separates them from the goats.
From every tongue and tribe and people and nation they follow
Out of the places of corruption,
Out from the confusions of man
Out from among the idols and uncleanness
Yet do not think you can keep your robes clean of your own selves!
That way lies hypocrisy, a false separation between “clean” and “unclean”.
In that false separation, as in false unity, there lies only death and uncleanness.
Those who seek to make themselves clean, and despise those others, are just as defiled as those they despise.
“Come out from among them and be ye separate” is the call
“Be clean, you who bear the vessels of the Lord”
Yet none can “come out” unless he hears the call, unless the Shepherd goes before him and leads him out.
And only the true washing of the Word of God can make truly clean
Only the true fire of the Spirit can discern between the gold and the dross.
Only the true call can make truly separate - separate in love rather than pride and self-seeking.
Be very, very attentive to His voice in these days, as He prepares to shake heaven and earth, as He prepares to rend the heavens and come down.
The trumpet is sounding, the armies are on the move; the time of the great battle is approaching.
Stand in the valley of vision, the valley of decision!
Choose this day whom you will serve - now while there is still time!
