Listen to poem:
I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
is winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Matthew 3:11-12 NIV
Song by George Jones
Perhaps you don’t live on a farm, so let me explain. Threshing wheat is an activity where you take a pitchfork, get a scoop of harvested wheat, and throw it up in the air. You’d always do it in a windy place so the wind could come through and separate the chaff from the wheat. The chaff would be carried away and discarded. Because the kernel of the wheat is heavier, it would fall to the ground and you could collect it and have it to eat.
Therefore, Jesus came to send His spirit within all which seek in this moment. Jesus brought judgement to come upon us in the harvest at hand from His death and resurrection. Into the spirit of fire at Pentacost. We have a battle within over our soul . The spirit of Jesus is the mighty wind which can separate the old self which is no good to be carried away and thrown into the fire.The chaff is of satan which keeps one from seeking Christ , oh what deceiver satan is to try and appear good, but is out to kill,steal and destroy all with division. To become wheat we must be reborn of the spirit promised, eating His bread, the true wisdom, knowledge,and understanding not taught of mankind knowledge of this world, for this new creation is to pull one out this world and to place one into the barn, with the old self left to the outside in flames. The spirit of Christ dwelling within one keeps the soul out of harms danger in the barn.
