All Sifted Like Wheat (Part One)
Sermon by Mark SchindlerAll are being sifted like wheat under the same circumstances as Job while strengthened and empowered to get through this just as those faithful who have gone before. God has given all into the trials and troubles of Satan's world and sifted like wheat to bring the wheat to the perfect harvest product God desires. Through Jesus Christ's work all are being established and strengthened together for the glory of God in unity. God has allowed all to be sifted like wheat in this divisive world but for those called by the Father to His Son with the intent that they are not divided but established and strengthened together for His glory and a witness to the world. As they are being sifted like wheat they are being prepared for very specific spots right now in the Kingdom of God. The working reality in this world where all are being sifted like wheat is what John 14:1-6 is all about. They are living witnesses for the glory of God through the perfecting work of Jesus Christ while being sifted like wheat in Satan's world for their perfecting. They must not let their hearts be troubled by the sifting process of their lives in Satan's world. Jesus Christ is preparing them for the exact spot they need to be together in the Family of God in perfect unity under Christ's new command.
