A few nights ago, I had a dream where I was watching wheat and tares being separated, much like the parable in Matthew 13.
It was harvest time because the wheat was heavy with grain, bending the stalks under its weight, while the tares stood straight and tall.
As the parable says, it's during the harvest that you can easily see the difference between the two. When they are smaller, they are nearly indistinguishable.
But suddenly, in my dream, the wheat and tares began to change shape until they became spears.
The wheat spears, however, were made of metal, and the tares were made of wood.
Then, they were both thrown into the fire and taken to an anvil, where they were beaten with a hammer. This process happened repeatedly, over and over.
“Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest, I will say to the reapers, ‘First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.’” —Matthew 13:30
Within a few rounds of this process, the tares burned up quickly and were easily broken and smashed on the anvil. In contrast, the metal spears only became stronger and sharper through the process.
When I woke up, I had a deep sense of knowing that we are in an hour like Matthew 13, where tares and wheat are being easily distinguished.
It’s becoming clearer and clearer to see things for what they truly are, to discern what is man-made and what is God-made.
It’s becoming easier to spot what is a counterfeit and what is authentic.
This is a time of fruit testing and pruning.
What is from Him, and what is from us?
What is ambition, and what is His vision?
What is another idol with a Christian label slapped on it?
What is an Ishmael, and what is Isaac?
What carries the glory, and what is after the glory of man?
In the natural, this looks like a time of exposure.
It looks like the wheels are coming off the wagon of man’s empires.
The tares, which have been trying to look like wheat, are now being seen for what they truly are.
But it’s also a time of great celebration for the faithful, as God brings increase.
How do you know which side you’re on? If you're being burned up, you're not wheat. But if you're simply being pruned, you're wheat.
This is a time when all of the tares hanging around your life are getting the axe.
Wrong doors and assignments are being thrown into the fire.
The wrong people and company—they’ll get the first whiff of smoke and run a million miles from you. Yet, it won’t hurt you; it will only make you stronger.
And that’s what this dream is declaring!
Firstly, you are in a harvest you didn’t even realize you were in!
For so long, you’ve been focusing on the fire instead of the fruit you’ve been carrying in the dark.
You’ve been fixated on the tares that have been stealing your ground, nutrients, and light, yet you’ve been multiplying rapidly.
Now, please hear this: you are entering a season where you will finally see just how much has been growing and increasing through your season of shaking and the refiner’s fire.
The fire hasn’t been burning you up; it’s been strengthening you.
And the hammer has only made you sharper, preparing you for greater things!
I hear the Lord saying over you today:
“Mighty voices of truth, arise! For there has been a separation between the faithful and the faithless, the impure voices and the righteous, but the impure are becoming as ash while you are now stepping into the FULLNESS of your calling and anointing. I am going to AMPLIFY your voice and carry it to the nations, for you are the sharp tip of the spear that will cut through the chaos and usher in My glory. Soon, you will see that this season was not in vain; you will see the fruit I have produced in you while you thought you had failed and floundered.”
Lastly, prophetic voices, I believe this dream is a commissioning for you.
It’s a governmental clarion call to be the tip of the spear in this time of history.
No more hiding in the face of injustice. SPEAK.
God has been preparing you for this, and you have felt the internal rumbling.
Just as this dream speaks to a season of divine separation and refining, it also emphasizes discernment and how, in this time, God is increasing this gifting upon you to not only reveal what is God and what is not, but also lead the church out of mixture and counterfeits.
That’s why you have been sharpened, so you can slice through the veils of the enemy keeping many in bondage.
This dream speaks that you have only become stronger through the fire and hammer revealing and has only come to refine you and not destroy.
You are being prepared for greater authority, and your voice will cut through confusion and chaos like the tip of a spear, bringing clarity and direction.
Keep your focus on the fruit, not the fire, and trust that what you’ve endured has been preparation for a greater unveiling of who you are and whose you are.
