This week is The Tares Classification System. A believer’s greatest persecution comes from others who identify themselves as believers.
Remember that even the most faithful can be used by Satan if they are not careful. When Jesus was telling His disciples that He must suffer many things, Peter protested and denied that would happen. Jesus said to him: “Get Behind Me, Satan!” (Matthew 16:21-24).
Jesus knew that Peter wasn’t Satan, but He made it clear that Peter was being influenced by Satan.
In addition to misguided believers, some people are Satan’s outright pawns who are determined to cause chaos and turmoil in the believer’s life. Jesus refers to them as tares.
An investigation of Scripture reveals that sometimes aggressive, attacking people are actually not believers — even though they say they are — but in reality, are agents of Satan who have a goal of robbing you of your joy and sidetracking you in your calling.
