Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Luke 10:3
10:3. "Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
The situation of the deputation is as lambs among wolves, the scary or death situation or impossibility. We need a shepherd who is able to drive out the wolves, namely Jesus.
John 10:11
10:11. "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.
Jesus as Good Shepherd dies on the cross to stretch out His merciful hand to hug and protect us from wolf attack (Satan the trinity).
That is why we have to become good sheep and be shepherded well and truly.
The requirements are as follows:
The results are as follows:
God blesses us.
Luke 10:3
10:3. "Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
The situation of the deputation is as lambs among wolves, the scary or death situation or impossibility. We need a shepherd who is able to drive out the wolves, namely Jesus.
John 10:11
10:11. "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.
Jesus as Good Shepherd dies on the cross to stretch out His merciful hand to hug and protect us from wolf attack (Satan the trinity).
That is why we have to become good sheep and be shepherded well and truly.
The requirements are as follows:
- We must be in the sheepfold.
John 10:1
10:1. "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
It is the same as perseverance in committing three kinds of main service, namely general service, bible study service and Holy Communion, and prayer service.
Indeed, it is difficult and painful for the flesh which is the same as entering the narrow door, but it is easy and light for our life (soul and spirit). - Listening and obeying the voice of shepherd (the shepherding word).
John 10:27-28
10:27. "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
10:28. "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
It is the same as stretching out our hands to Good Shepherd, so we live in the merciful hand of Good Shepherd.
The results are as follows:
- Good Shepherd's hand of mercy and kindness is able to give certainty to take care of our lifefrom now in the middle of difficulties in the world until antichrist reigns in the world for three and a half years.
John 10:28
10:28. "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
Good Shepherd also gives certainty for successful and beautiful life up to eternal life. - Good Shepherd's hand of mercy and kindness is able to lead us in three things.
John 10:3
10:3. "To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.- Leading us beside the still waters.
Psalm 23:1-2
23:1. <<A Psalm of David.>>The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
23:2. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
We live in serenity and peace in the anointing of Holy Spirit.
Being calm means there are no fear and worry because we totally surrender in God's hand of mercy and kindness.
Being calm means all sins have been finished by the blood of Jesus. The sin makes us labor and become heavy laden or in curse atmosphere.
The process to finish the sin is making peace with others.
Mathew 5:23-25
5:23. "Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,
5:24. "leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
5:25. "Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.
We must be reconciled soon with God and others. We confess our sin honestly to God. If we are forgiven, do not sin anymore.
We also confess and forgive one another.
The result is the blood of Jesus finishes our sins.
If we make peace/reconcile sins quickly, we will receive two wings of a great eagle.
Daniel 9:27
9:27. Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate."
If one keeps sinning, and does not want to be reconciled but delays to reconcile, Antichrist with the wing of abominations will snatch.
It means we have hatred and revenge. - Leading us in the paths of righteousness.
Psalm 23:3
23:3. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousnessFor His name's sake.
We live according to the righteousness of the word or the true teaching word.
James 1:19
1:19. So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
We must be swift to hear and obey God.
Hebrews 5:11-13
5:11. of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.
5:12. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
5:13. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.
It means do not hear the gospel word only (drinking milk), but also the teaching word that is sharper than any two-edged sword (solid food) that purifies us from evil and unclean sins, so we can live in holiness.
The result is we will receive the two wings of a great eagle.
Zechariah 5:6-11
5:6. So I asked, "What is it?" And he said, "It is a basket that is going forth." He also said, "This is their resemblance throughout the earth:
5:7. "Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket";
5:8. then he said, "This is Wickedness!" And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead cover over its mouth.
5:9. Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.
5:10. So I said to the angel who talked with me, "Where are they carrying the basket?"
5:11. And he said to me, "To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base."
If we are slow to hear or do not want to receive the teaching word and be purified but keep on living in evil and unclean sin, we will receive the wings of a stork that lead us to Babylon, the peak of wickedness and uncleanness.
Revelation 12:14
12:14. But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
The word and Holy Spirit are the same as God's hand of mercy and kindness or the two wings of a great eagle that is able to evacuate us to the wilderness far from antichrist who reigns in the world for three and a half years.
We are taken care of by God through the teaching word and Holy Communion. - Leading us to the throne of Heaven or New Jerusalem, the last shepherding pen.
Revelation 7:17
7:17. "for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
The proof is we experience the renewal of life from carnal men to spiritual ones like Jesus.
Revelation 21:8
21:8. "But the cowardly(1), unbelieving(2), abominable(3), murderers(4), sexually immoral(5), sorcerers(6), idolaters(7), and all liars(8) shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
The renewal from eight sins up to there is no lie, but being honest and having trust to God.
The step of renewing is the one of miracle.
If spiritual miracle happens, the physical one will happen too.
The example is Mary and Martha who face Lazarus who has died for four days. It refers to decay, ruin, failure, and impossibility.
John 11:38-41
11:38. Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
11:39. Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."
11:40. Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believeyou would see the glory of God?"
11:41. Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
Being honest and having trust to God is the same as having faith to God. So the physical miracle happens, namely failure becomes success, the thing that has been destroyed can be good, and impossible thing becomes possible.
When Jesus comes a second time, we will be changed to become perfect. We are worthy to greet His second coming on the glorious clouds until we enter New Jerusalem.
- Leading us beside the still waters.
God blesses us.
