Abhorrent
They instead bring their natural minds and talents and whatever into the Service of God.
It is abhorrent to Him, and is a sin.
Wheat
Now we are all Wheat, yet we all need to be Dried, that is to say, to Cease seeking the pleasure of the world.

EPHESIANS 4.31-32
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice, and become kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, according as God also forgave you in Christ.
=====
1 CORINTHIANS 1.30
but out of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification,
=====
PSALM 35.1-7, 23
Strive, YHWH, with my strivers, fight with my fighters, Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help, And draw out spear and lance, || To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, “I [am] your salvation.” They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, || Turned backward and confounded, || Those devising my evil. They are as chaff before wind, || And a messenger of YHWH driving away. Their way is darkness and slipperiness, || And a messenger of YHWH—their pursuer. For without cause they hid their net [in] a pit for me, || Without cause they dug for my soul.
Stir up, and wake to my judgment, || My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
=====
COLOSSIANS 3.4
when the Christ—our life—may have appeared, then we will also appear with Him in glory.
=====
1 CORINTHIANS 3.1-3
And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly—as to babies in Christ; with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for you were not yet able, but not even yet are you now able, for yet you are fleshly, for where [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not fleshly, and walk in the manner of men?
=====
MATTHEW 13.30
permit both to grow together until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the darnel, and bind it in bundles, to burn it, and the wheat gather up into my storehouse.”
It Will Blossom
The dead rod has to be to laid up before God and to go through death.
The rod had absolutely no life in itself.
It was a dead thing.
We have to Acknowledge that we, like the rod, are dead things: useless – utterly useless, without anything whatever to give, without any hope, without the least little fragment to give to a needy world, without one atom of anything of value to God of which He can use.
But when God has taken this dead rod through death, it will Blossom.
It simply has to be Laid Up Before the Lord for Him to Put His Own Life into it.
Into the earthen vessel He Puts That Exceedingly Precious Treasure: His Very Own Life which itself has been through Death and Resurrection.
Life
The Life as Ordained by God for Christians is one Full of Joy and Rest, one that is Uninterrupted Communion with God, and is in Perfect Harmony with His Will.
It is a Life that does NOT thirst and hunger after the world,
That walks outside of sins, and that Transcends all things.
Indeed, it is a Holy, Powerful and Victorious Life, and one that Constitutes Knowing God’s Will and Having Continuous Fellowship with Him.
Last Days
We know in the last days Satan and his evil spirits are to be exceptionally active in their operations.
THEREFORE, we Must Pray More Than Ever Against him and Overthrow his government.
Speaking Truthfully, there is no greater work which God’s Children could do TODAY than This Work.
Who is Willing to Pray Against Satan for the Sake of God and himself?
Holiness
1 CORINTHIANS 1.30 but out of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification…
Jesus Christ! Our Holiness!
To The Father
Leave the vindication and the reward to the Father.
Isaiah 49.4 I labored in vain, || I consumed my power for emptiness and vanity, || But my judgment [is] with YHWH, || And my wage with my God.
