Shepherds In Trouble

Ezekiel 34:1-4 (AMPC)

Ezekiel 34
1 AND THE word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them, even to the [spiritual] shepherds, Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the [spiritual] shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the sheep?
3 You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you kill the fatlings, but you do not feed the sheep.
4 The diseased and weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed, the hurt and crippled you have not bandaged, those gone astray you have not brought back, the lost you have not sought to find, but with force and hardhearted harshness you have ruled them.

In talking with a Pastor in The School Of Apostle and Prophets, he was telling me that The Lord has been Speaking to him about this prophecy made to the shepherds in Ezekiel 34:1-31.
I went to that chapter and started reading it... The Lord is not happy with the shepherds, and He said He was going to teach His People Himself... Because they are not taking care of His People and showing them His Way...

Because of this, the people scattered...
Ezekiel 34:5-8 (AMPC)
5 And they were scattered because there was no shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild beasts of the field.
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains and upon every high hill; yes, My sheep were scattered upon all the face of the earth and no one searched or sought for them.
7 Therefore, you [spiritual] shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:
8 As I live, says the Lord God, surely because My sheep became a prey, and My sheep became food for every beast of the field because there was no shepherd—neither did My shepherds search for My sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves and fed not My sheep—

It is a sore source with The Lord even now if we the Believer’s Don’t let His Word be exalted in our everyday life...

All of Us Like Sheep Have Gone Our Own Way

Isaiah 53:5-9 (AMPC)
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has made to light upon Him the guilt and iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, [yet when] He was afflicted, He was submissive and opened not His mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment He was taken away; and as for His generation, who among them considered that He was cut off out of the land of the living [stricken to His death] for the transgression of my [Isaiah’s] people, to whom the stroke was due?
9 And they assigned Him a grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in His death, although He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth.

Today I have repented Of going my own way...
The Lord Is my Shepherd and I will be lead by Him to go in His Way where ever He needs to lead me. Following The Lord is an easy yoke, because The Holy Spirit does the power walk in me.
Let us like sheep Know Our Shepherd Is gentle and kind, Full of compassion and mercy...

Lord, let me understand Your way by truth and worship You there in Spirit...

God's Plan of Fellowship

2 Corinthian 11:11-12:

"It's not that I don't love you; God knows I do. 12.) I'm just trying to keep things open and honest between us."

Keeping things open and honest, and free to fellowship with The Lord in the mist of things...

He Orders My Steps

He Orders My Steps

Psalms 37:23-26 (KJV)

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord:

and he delighteth in his way.

24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down:

for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.

25 I have been young, and now am old;

yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,

nor his seed begging bread.

26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth;

and his seed is blessed.

Job 23:10-16 (KJV)

10 But he knoweth the way that I take:

when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.

12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips;

I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him?

and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.

14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me:

and many such things are with him.

15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence:

when I consider, I am afraid of him.

16 For God maketh my heart soft,

and the Almighty troubleth me:

The Lord Knows means what He wants of me...

It is up to me to let Him tell me, and lead me to It, and do that His way...

Or Else

Isaiah 27:1-5 (AMPC)

Isaiah 27
1 “IN THAT day [the Lord will deliver Israel from her enemies and also from the rebel powers of evil and darkness] His sharp and unrelenting, great, and strong sword will visit and punish Leviathan the swiftly fleeing serpent, Leviathan the twisting and winding serpent; and He will slay the monster that is in the sea.
2 In that day [it will be said of the redeemed nation of Israel], A vineyard beloved and lovely; sing a responsive song to it and about it!
3 I, the Lord, am its Keeper; I water it every moment; lest anyone harm it, I guard and keep it night and day.
4 Wrath is not in Me. Would that the briers and thorns [the wicked internal foe] were lined up against Me in battle! I would stride in against them; I would burn them up together.
5 Or else [if all Israel would escape being burned up together there is but one alternative], let them take hold of My strength and make complete surrender to My protection, that they may make peace with Me! Yes, let them make peace with Me!”

The Lord is Keeper of me... He has plans to deal with His and my enemy...
Or Else, let me take hold of His Strength, or Else let me be completely surrendered to His protective Word, or Else ...

Will You Really Die

Genesis 3:3-6 (AMPC)
3 “Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.
4 But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die,
5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the difference between good and evil and blessing and calamity.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good (suitable, pleasant) for food and that it was delightful to look at, and a tree to be desired in order to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she gave some also to her husband, and he ate.”

Woman, was standing over next to the Tree of Knowledge with her husband... The Serpent was speaking to his wife, not Adam... Adam heard the conversation between Satan and his wife... He was listening and wanted to know also what was in that tree... but, he didn’t want to die... He knew he gave his wife miss information... and Satan also knew what Father God Said; don’t eat it you will die.
Adam knew what physical death was... being a gardener. When his wife ate and didn’t die... he ate to, because the reason he didn’t eat it was he didn’t want to die...

How many of us don’t sin because of fear of dying, and not because God Said It, I Believe It!
