I saw the field of the foolish man all grown up with nettles. He had deceived himself that God would plow his field, sow his seed, water the plants, give the increase, reap the harvest, and deliver the produce into his barn. As the days passed into weeks and then months and the harvest was past: alas all there was out there in front of him were those wretched nettles. So, he went out and got those nettles and put them in his church. He tried to make them appear as wheat but as much as he tried, he could not get them to change the way they looked. He stood before them and said: "ho all ye wheat, do not call yourself a nettle any more, for that is negative thinking. Call yourself wheat. Believe ye are wheat. Name it and claim it. And wheat you are." But he was working with nettles. A wheat will mature into exactly what God designed it to be. Even so, many people think their church is filled with wheat when all that has been harvested are the nettles.
