Wheat and Chaff

Luke 3.17  Whose fan is in his hand, thoroughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.

What does that verse mean? It's pretty simple, those that gather wheat from the fields they have to separate the wheat and the unwanted materials (chaff) which is then burned or disposed.  Now here we see that Jesus has the fan, he is throwing up the wheat and chaff as a process of cleansing and separating the good  and the dirt. It is an analogy to show that he will separate that which is His and that which is not. He will burn the dirt with unquenchable fire, this is fire that does not stop even if you pour water or spray CO2 on it. 
 




In the recent past I have noticed an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Many people who were lost have been found, myself included. People have really changed. My whatsapp conversations have changed and the conversations are mostly about Scripture. The devil who had covered the eyes of people with darkness has been defeated, the Holy Spirit has convicted the hearts of the people to change. Almost every single person I am in constant chat with talks to me about Scripture, Jesus and change. It is an amazing trend, how can you be left behind. It is like all over sudden we can see again, we were blind but our eyes have been healed. Can I get an Amen. The scripture is true Joel 2.28-29 "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.  Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. 

It is possible that Christ's return is in this generation. Let us not waste any more time but allow ourselves to be used by God. To know God through faith.

A note to those that defame the people who were once lost. It has happened to a lot of Christians myself included, that people will mock my walk with God because of past inconsistencies, stop, do not let the devil use you to destroy the work of the Lord in yourself and to the unbelievers.  A true believers is always discerning of false rumours and lies. The scripture tells you, rumour monger ; "Don't criticize and speak evil about each other, dear brothers. If you do, you will be fighting against God's law of loving one another, declaring it is wrong. But your job is not to decide whether this law is right or wrong, but to obey it. Only he who made the law can rightly judge among us. He alone decides to save us or destroy. So what right do you have to judge or criticize others?" James 4:11-12

Do not act impetuously but instead be filled with the Spirit, let Him control what you say."The good man out of his good treasure brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth what is evil. "And I say to you, that every careless word that men shall speak, they shall render account for it in the day of judgment. "For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned." Matthew 12.35-37


I encourage you especially new believers to keep fighting the good fight and take hold of the eternal life to which you were called!! 
 God bless you.

Love always, Hilda.
