Romans 6:4
6:4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

We experience the anointing of Holy Spirit and the fullness, so that we have sincere heart as dove’s heart. We have peace in our heart without any lust, envy, hatred, revenge, and so on.
We also have heart that fears the Lord.
Isaiah 11:1-3
11:1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
11:2 The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.

Joseph is the example.
Genesis 49:22

1 Peter 5:5
5:5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."
Only the humble and obedient can be shepherded righteously.
Why do we have to be shepherded inside the sheepfold?- Because God trusts a pastor to be responsible to watch out for the salvation of our soul inside the sheepfold.
Hebrews 13:17
13:17 Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you. - Because the wild flesh full of lusts and wills is limited inside the sheepfold, so that we do not fall in sin up to the peak, namely sins concerning eating-drinking such as smoking, getting drunk, and drugs abuse as well as marrying-being given in marriage, namely sexuality sin with all its kinds, sexual deviation, and wrong marriage.
Flesh is limited, so that it does not wander. As a result, lion cannot prey us. On the contrary, not being shepherded will cause one to be deceived by other teachings and gossip until he loses his way.
1 Peter 5:8
5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. - To make us firm in salvation. Shepherding pen is the place to make our salvation firm until we can reach perfection.
