But I consider my own life of no importance to me whatsoever, as long as I can finish the course ahead of me, the task I received from the Lord Yeshua. Acts 20:24
“Yes, indeed! I tell you, the person who doesn’t enter the sheep-pen through the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber. But the one who goes in through the gate is the sheep’s own shepherd. This is the one the gate-keeper admits, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep, each one by name, and leads them out. After taking out all that are his own, he goes on ahead of them; and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice. They never follow a stranger but will run away from him, because strangers’ voices are unfamiliar to them.”John 10:1-5
The message today is not anything new, and actually the above verse from John 10 has been used many times over, again making the same point. Which is those of us who know the good Shepard or Pastor, the Lord Yeshua. We know his voice and do not follow men teachers. These people who call themselves pastor or father, do not even know what they are doing. We do not need nor are we to even have a man pastor, our pastor needs to be one which is the Messiah, and we are all brothers. A brother does things differently than a man pastor will. The concept in the heads of the men pastors is to lead the people, but the idea of Adonai is for us to be helping each other to come to the Lord Yeshua as a disciple. We are to disciple the nations to Yeshua, not to our church system idea of how it is supposed to be.
The problem or point is simple, no man can set you free from sin or save you. No matter how good their preaching is, or how deep they are with the Holy Spirit and understanding truth and even living in truth and without sin. No man can take you to salvation, only the Lord Yeshua can.
So we are wasting our time and setting people up for failure, as well as bringing harsh judgment on ourselves by pretending we can save them, and lead them into salvation. The other point is we cannot understand this simple point of what Paul said above. “But I consider my own life of no importance to me whatsoever, as long as I can finish the course ahead of me, the task I received from the Lord Yeshua.”
The Lord makes it clear the sheep will be scattered with a man teacher because when the real problems come, the pastor will leave you. Even if they are there with you, maybe through sickness and or death, they are still not there. Yeshua may or may not be there with you depending on you. He allows these things to bring you closer to him, to seek him. If you do he will open the door and let you in and sup with you. But most people do not seek him when things get tough like a sickness, instead they seek the man pastor and other sheep in the church system. And of course the doctors and hospitals.
But here is the thing about that, they are the ones making you sick and keeping you unholy and unrighteous.
The other day I was speaking with my sister about my dad, and her wanting me to put him back on a medication. So I made a few points to her about the medical system which also taught me somethings as I said it. Which is this:
Our dad was on high blood pressure meds and blood thinning meds when he got his stroke. While in the US his blood pressure was normally 160/130 so it was high even on meds. Since being here and changing his diet he is no longer on those meds, has never been sick or in a hospital like he was before (normally about 3 times a year he went to the hospital while still in Iowa). Now his blood test are very good, no high blood pressure, as it is always 120/80 give or take, and many times lower than that.
Then I said, the system was keeping him unhealthy and sick almost killing him, now he is out of the system and doing well, and you want to put him back on some of the meds that were killing him?
Now most people will argue with me that it is not like that, and that it was lucky. They do not want to see the truth (results) which is right in front of their eyes. Second thing is when telling many people this story they do not believe it and make up things to support their unbelief and get mad or upset with you when you point out the truth.
The truth which sets you free is also hated and most people push it away in favor of the comfortable doing it as the world shows you to do it. Same with your Spirituality or lack of. Most people ignore the truth in favor of an easier way to what they think is going to be salvation, but is not. There is only one way to the Father and it is through the son.
This once saved always saved, grace doctrine will not save you, nor will any religion. And all of them push you away from the Son who can save you and to the worldly ways of the flesh. Men like the lust of their flesh so they remain in the sin instead of moving to a righteous relationship with Yeshua in hearing him (My sheep hear my voice). And then obeying him (and they follow me). They also do NOT follow the voice of the stranger (which all men’s voices are strangers to me because they are teaching things contrary to what Yeshua shows me).
This is the way the system works as mentioned many times, to keep you broke, unhealthy and or kill you, and to keep you from knowing the truth in Yeshua. A truth which leads you into righteousness and salvation. The devil does not care which path you follow, which thrive you listen to, which doctor you go to, which government or investment advisor you listen to. He just does not want you finding the truth and the narrow path.
As a side note, today I spoke with Joe, the guy who is on a good path from the gym. I told him what the Lord had shown me the last two days, mostly about the day the darkness is coming when no one will be able to work. And then today with chapter 10 of John and the good shepherd and his sheep hear his voice and follow him. How we twist these verses is beyond me, Yeshua makes it clear we are to hear his voice and obey.
Anyways that is not the point. I put everything together with his dream he told me about where he was bringing people into a place and they went up into the sky, and so he brought more into this place and they also went up into the sky. I told him to take or leave what I am saying, because I do not know for sure it is for you. But I believe it has a lot to do with your dream. And how the church system is the thieves who come in a side door, telling or preaching lies. And how time is running short and someday we will not be able to bring anyone to the Lord. I also made the point about bringing people to Yeshua and not to a church system. Not to the thieves.
I also made the point how we are to take the log out of our own eye before we can take the speak out of our brothers. In other words we are to be right with God and know him and his perfect will before we are able to bring others to him.
I could see him thinking through it, taking it all in and calculating something in his mind. I have never seen him with a face or expression like today. It will be interesting to find out later what his thoughts are after he has time to digest it and pray about it. But it seems to me the Spirit was showing him something as I spoke. He was really deep in thought almost with his eyes looking into the back of his head.
As always, and to sum it up. The main message is that all of us must find our own relationship with Yeshua, we must hear him and obey him unto righteousness. This is the narrow path that few find, and he is the only one to lead us there. Are you following him or the thieves?
