REMEMBER THE OLD SAYING FROM OUR PARENTS WHEN WE BEGGED TO DO WHAT OUR FRIENDS WERE ALLOWED TO DO, "IF YOUR FRIENDS ALL JUMP OFF A CLIFF WOULD YOU JOINED THEM?" YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN READY TO SAY ,"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT I JUST WANT THE FREEDOMS AND LESS CONTROL TO BE LIKE THEM"BUT YOU MAY HAVE SAID,"THAT'S NOT FAIR" OR "WHY CAN'T YOU BE LIKE THE OTHER PARENTS THEY TRUST THEIR KIDS.
EITHER WAY, YOU AND THOUSANDS OF OTHER CHILDREN WERE BOTH REBELLIOUS OR TRYING TO CONFORMED TO BELONG TO A GROUP OR FOLLOW THE CROWDS.
IT WASN'T TRUST NOR FAIRNESS IT WAS BOUNDARIES SET TO KEEP YOU SAFE AND PREPARED YOU FOR THE WORLD WHEN YOU GREW UP AND LEFT HOME.
REMEMBER YOUR PARENTS TELLING THEIR STORIES ABOUT THEIR OWN ENCOUNTERS WITH THE INJUSTICE AND DEALINGS WITH THE WORLD.THEY JUST WANT THINGS BETTER FOR US. BUT IN THE TRUTH OF STORIES WE HEARD WHAT WE WANTED TO HEAR.WE EITHER BECAME THE GOAT AND REBELLED OR THE SHEEP AND ACCEPTED THEIR DEFEAT.
MANY STILL SAY, "I AM JUST LIKE MY MOTHER OR FATHER" AND THEY OFTEN QUOTE THEM WORD FOR WORD AND TRY TO FOLLOW THEIR HABITS AND LIFESTYLES AND THINKING THEY ARE HONORING THEM BY CARRYING OUT THEIR DREAMS THEY HAD AND DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO FINISH.
CONFORMING TO OTHER PEOPLES LIFESTYLE AND NOT LIVING YOUR OWN LIFE CREATES PROBLEMS BECAUSE THE TWO LIVES ARE ACTIVE AND CHOICES CAN BE CONFUSING.
JESUS TOLD HIS FOLLOWERS TO LEAVE THEIR FATHERS AND MOTHERS AND FOLLOW HIM.HE SAID ,"HATE THEM AND LOVE ME" HE WAS TRYING TO MAKE A POINT HE DIDN'T MEANT HATE THEM HE MEANT LOVE THEM BUT LOVE ME FIRST. I AM SURE HIS DECIPLES HAD SOME REAL PROBLEMS FOLLOWING JESUS AND LEAVING THEIR FAMILIES. ALL CHILDREN OF GOD HAVE WHO FOLLOW AND OBEY GOD HAVE HAD PROBLEMS CONFORMING TO THE WORD OF GOD.
MANY FOLLOWERS OF ANYTHING ARE SHEEP THAT WANT TO CONFORM TO ANY GROUP JUST TO SAY OR THINK THEY BELONG TO IT. THEY ARE USUALLY PEOPLE PLEASERS AND LISTEN AND FOLLOW ANYONE THAT CAN MAKE CHOICES FOR THEM AND TELL THEM IF THEY ARE FOLLOWING THEIR PATH.
WHO TAKES CARE OF ALL THE NEEDS OF THE SHEEP OR LEADS THE SHEEP? THE LEADER MUST BE SHEEP ALSO AND THE RULES MUST BE SERVING THE WHOLE OF THE GROUP.
THE CHILDREN OF GOD HAVE ALL BEEN SHEEP BUT THE CONFORMING WAS TO THE WORLD AND NOT OBEYING GOD.THE TRANSITION TO THE GOAT WAS TO STOP CONFORMING TO THE WORLD AND THE SHEEP INSIDE WAS READY TO CONFORM TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE WORLD.THE SAYING,"A SHEEP IN WOLF'S CLOTHING"HAS A VERY NEGATIVE MEANING AND IT NEEDS TO UNDERSTOOD. WE ARE INWARD SHEEP COVERED IN A CLOTHING BUT THE GOAT IS THE CORRECT WORD.
THE INNER AND OUTER CORE OF OUR BELIEF BY OUR SPIRITUAL NATURE IS TO BE WHO WE ARE IN ALL ASPECTS AND WHEN WE SAY WE ARE WE MUST BE WHO WE SAY WE ARE.
TO SAY I AM A GOAT BUT HAVE LEFT THE SHEEP MENTALITY OF CONFORMING I HAVE SHOW MY RIGHTEOUS BOLDNESS TO THE WORLD AND ITS LIES AND MANIPULATION OVER MY SHEEP INSIDE.
IF A SHEEP REMAINS A FOLLOWER OF GOD'S WORD WITHOUT TAKING ON THE GOAT OF REBELLION AGAINST THE WORLD SYSTEMS THE SHEEP WILL NOT OVERCOME OR TRANSCEND TO THE NEXT STAGE OF THEIR EVOLUTION PROCESS TO SPIRITUAL MATURITY
TO KNOW WHAT IS TO BE A SHEEP AND OBEY AND TRUST GOD IS THE INNER SPIRITUAL JOY EVERY SHEEP KNOWS AND EXPERIENCES.BUT TO SAY THAT YOU DEFEND THE FAITH IS A REBELLIOUS ACTIONS OF THE GOATS THAT EACH WILL BE CALLED TO DO WHEN THE TIME COMES.JESUS CAME INTO THIS WORLD AS A SHEEP AND HE GATHERED HIS CHILDREN IN HIS PASTURES.HE SPOKE OF THE DAY WHEN HE WILL COME AGAIN TO CLAIM HIS KINGDOM ON THIS EARTH. HE WILL COME WITH HIS ARMIES OF THE ANGELS AND ALL THAT BELEIVE WILL MEET HIM IN THE AIR TO FIGHT THE WORLD.WHO WILL HE CALL THE SHEEP OR THE GOATS TO FIGHT IN THIS SPIRITUAL BATTLE?
THE ONES THAT ARE THE SHEEP INSIDE AND WEARING THE ARMOR AND CARRYING THE SWORDS OF GOATS.
MATTHEW 26:
BUT WHEN I,THE MESSIAH,SHALL COME IN MY GLORY,AND ALL MY ANGELS WITH ME,THEN I SHALL SIT UPON MY THRONE OF GLORY.AND ALL NATIONS SHALL BE GATHERERED BEFORE ME.AND I WILL SEPARATE THE PEOPLE AS A SHEPARD SEPARATES THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS AND PLACE THE THE SHEEP AT MY RIGHT HAND AND THE GOATS AT MY LEFT.
IN MATTHEW WAS A WARNING AND THE VERSE DOES NOT FAVOR THE SHEEP OR THE GOATS.AS MATTHEW RECORDED THESE VERSES HE MUST HAVE BEEN HEARING THE CURSES OF BOTH THE SHEEP THAT THOUGHT THEY WERE RIGHTEOUS IN THEIR OWNSELF BY CHOOSING TO BE FOLLOWERS OR SHEEP.BUT,THE WORDS OF JESUS CAME AGAINST THEM BECAUSE THEY HAD NOT DONE UNTO ALL THEIR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AS IF THEY WERE JESUS.THE LEFT SIDE OR THE GOATS DIDN'T DO SO WEL EITHER THEY WERE SEND TO THE BURNING FIRES PREPARED FOR DE BECAUSE DEMONS AND DEVILS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF GOD'S CHILDREN EITHER.
SO WHAT CAN WE SAY ABOUT THESES WARNINGS?BE A SHEEP AND OBEY GOD AND NOT CONFORM TO THE WORLD AND BE A GOAT AND REBELLIOUS ENOUGH TO FIGHT FOR THE FAITH.WE CAN BE BETTER AT BOTH OF THESE AND I AM SURE THIS IS THE MESSAGE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
