• Sift an act of sifting something, especially to isolate that which is most important or useful; examine (something) thoroughly so as to isolate that which is most important or useful; put (a fine, loose, or powdery substance) through a sieve so as to remove lumps or large particles.
• “That which is most important or useful”.
• That which is most important or useful to God or the devil.
• The Word examines you from your heart when you are studying it.
• The devil examines you from the mannerism, attitude, and behavior of your flesh.
• Sieve is a utensil consisting of a wire or plastic mesh held in a frame, used for straining solids from liquids, for separating coarser from finer particles, or for reducing soft solids to a pulp:
• Your heart’s belief is being sifted.

Job 2:1-6
1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.
2 And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
• Satan is not omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, he must walk everywhere he goes!
• God is omnipotent “all powerful”, in total control of Himself and all His creation.
• God is omniscient “all knowledge”. He knows all things and has all knowledge. God knows everything about everything that He has created and that includes you and me.
• God is omnipresent “everywhere present at the same time”.
• Satan must go before God, worship God, then ask God for further leave or permission to tempt you and me. He cannot just haul off and tempt a child of God. Furthermore, he does not even mess with a son, if so, he does it a far off.
3 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered My servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? And still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst Me against him, to destroy him without cause.
• God talks to the devil!
• We can confirm the fact that He is a talking God, but in order to get Him to talk to you, you must get in His Presence, His Order, His setting.
• And evidently Satan as Lucifer still remembers the Holiness of God and how protocol works when getting into the presence of God.
• Believe it or not if your soul is ever awakened to the Word of God he knows how to enter the presence of God; God’s order; and God’s pleasures.
• Eschewed means to deliberately avoid using; abstain from.
• That is avoid using your influence as well as others that has been learned through the knowledge of good and evil and the influence of your 5-senses and feelings.
• Abstain from your old man and his nature of sin and its influence!
• Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness; the state of being whole and undivided; the condition of being unified, unimpaired, or sound in construction.
• Integrity is what all born-again new creatures should display as a part of the Body of Christ is order to fulfill the scripture that says “till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ”. Ephesians 4:13.
• Are you a Job in this day? Can God call you, His servant? Can God consider you to Satan, speak so highly of you as He did Job, and know that like Job you won’t fail and that He will get the victory and be glorified?
• God recommended Job for the task for Satan’s temptations, influence, and trickery.
4 And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
• Skin is the body’s outer covering which protects against heat, light, injury, and infection.
• Skin is known to born-again believers, new creatures in Christ as the flesh.
• Flesh is the soft substance consisting of muscle and fat that is found between the skin and bones of a human or an animal.
• Flesh is the part of the serpent’s body that the devil reasoned with him to get into so that he could be legal in earth and deceive. Genesis 3:14
• Flesh is the weaker element in human nature, St Matthew 26:41; Romans 6:19; 8:3.
• Flesh is the unregenerated state of men, Romans 7:5; 8:8.
• Flesh is the seat of sin in man, not his body but the outer covering of his body.
• Flesh is carnal, Romans 8:5-8.
• Flesh makes decisions and actions according to self that originate from self, empowered by self and done apart from faith and is independent from God’s inner work.
• What is of the flesh is carnal, displeasing to the Lord God, even in things that may seem respectable.
• Flesh is the unchanged and untouched part of us; and what will never be converted and transformed by God.
5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
• Satan is being an accuser of the brethren Job right here.
• In Revelation 12:10 Satan accuses us of our past sins before God constantly because He does not want God to extend His grace and forgiveness toward us nor does he want us to believe and receive that God will do so.
• Satan telling God if you let me touch his possessions, his wealth, his family, and all his other worldly possessions he will curse you and die.
6 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.

• It’s sifting time for the believers, the new creatures, and even the sinner man in order to shake him from his way.

The parable of the tares likened to the Kingdom of Heaven to a man which sowed good seed in his field and while asleep the enemy (Satan) came and sowed tares among the good seed (wheat) but it is the Spirit of God that will separate.

St Matthew 13:30, 37-39 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into My barn.
37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the Kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
• Harvest is the process or period of gathering in crops; the season’s yield or crop; the product or result of an action.
• The harvest is the world.
• Soul are God’s harvest in the world.
• Souls are His crop, and He has a set time of harvest for us all, figuratively speaking.
• Just because God has reaped you and I from the world does not mean that there are not others still in the world that God is calling and will use you and I to go and get them.
• The harvest of God are those that God call and choose and know that they are going to grow in Him to do His Will which will have great influence on those that don’t grow, those that will become tares, and those that will be slothful and shallow in growing.
• The harvest of God is not a one-time mass gathering so there is hope for all to be saved and come into the knowledge of God and serve Him.
• God made a covenant to Himself in His heart that He will never again curse the ground any more for man’s sake nor will He smite (to strike, beat, or flood) every living thing as He had done; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. Genesis 8:21
• God said while the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease (come to an end). Genesis 8:22
• God planted His good seed in the harvest, that is the world and so did the devil sow seed in the harvest.
• It was and is God’s calling that separates you and I from the tares that Satan sows to imitate being like Christ. This could very well be family first!
• Many believer’s are distracted, lose focus, and get caught up in and with the world’s system and its doings.
• Another sifting for the Church from the world as the sifting will also bring in the true souls that is the Church of God.
• We are to be in the world and not of the world! Because if we don’t have the power that we proclaim the world will change you.
• Sifting is necessary because the enemy has filtered into the believer’s environment, not the Church but the environment to become familiar with their ways.
• Many believe that they are in the Body, but the Head of the Body is Christ Jesus.
• Families and the world are the biggest distraction of the believer’s to keep them from sowing and reaping the true harvest of God.
• We must get through our spiritual hindrances and schisms that so easily keeps us from fulfilling the calling of God in Christ.
• TOTAL difference is in the soul! Let God reveal and manifest His perfect Will through your soul.
St Luke 22:31-32
31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
• This is your shift, your suddenly called sifting!
• STOP being so easily deceive by the false Christ and false prophets and false blessings and lying wonders in this day. St Matthew 24:24.

Amen
