A WARNING OF WOE
"Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?"
- Ezekiel 34:2
A day of shaking has come, because of the care of HIS sheep, to those who have set themselves up as pastors over them. Who called you to pastor? Who told you to go out and gather them unto yourself? Who taught you how to lead and care for them? Did not Jeremiah, in the word, warn you, you who have called yourselves pastors, of what God required and of what God would do if HIS sheep are mishandled and scattered. The Lord God is the good shepherd who tends to his sheep in love and in kindness. Where is his heart in those who have said they were called to pastor? Who called you? Have his sheep, his people been taught HIS way? Have they been guided and led with love in truth, holiness, and righteousness? Have they been strengthened through the word of God? Have they been nourished and fed until they are no longer babes seeking the sincere milk of the word but through sound teaching are now able to eat of the meat word and walk in the power of God for this season? Have they been fruitful and have multiplied bringing forth fruit for the glory of God, drawing and birthing other sheep in the fold, fruit yielding more fruit by what they have been taught by what they have learned and seen of you? Pastors, leaders who have set themselves over HIS people over HIS sheep where is the love of God and concern for HIS sheep? I say again, did He call you or did you just go? Did you not understand that you were taking the responsibility of leading those that are the most precious to him? The people perish and there is no help. There is no guidance. There is no word of faith spoken into them to rise and live. Where is the word of faith that will heal, where is the oil of gladness for their head? They walk with their head down turning away from the faith seeking after other gods because of the drought of the word in their lives, now walking like the people of this world. Where are the teachers of faith? Where are those who are walking it by example? Where is God’s power to heal and deliver? Why do HIS people perish? Jeremiah 2:8 The priests said not, where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit. **Did you think that God could not see? Did you think God would not show forth his wrath and give you the fruit of your deeds because you repented not but kept walking in your own way? Did you fail in your heart along the way and now no longer see, hear or believe that He IS? Did you set yourself up as a guide without HIS guidance and or leading? He sees your wickedness in the life you lived and in the handling of his people. Your taking rather than giving. Your hurting rather than healing and your manipulating rather than manifesting truth and love. A tearing down has come and a setting up of new is taking place. The new that HE has called, He has commissioned. He has chosen. He has removed some and there will be more that will be removed for the sake of his sheep, his souls, his Name. The season of deliverance has come to the Lord’s people. Out of places not thought of by man God has called and will call those who will have the heart to fulfill his will and walk-in obedience before him. These will bear the fruits of his spirit. They will walk in HIS power and show forth his mercy and his kindness. They will be the true children of God showing the world that He is yet still on the throne and is Everlasting and holds All Might and Power. They will edify one another and tend to the lambs and sheep, His people until they all are walking in power and deliverance for All the world to see. Walking as living and breathing testimonies and epistles to the glory of God. These, has he called, these, has he chosen, these, has he sent and the people will know it by the power that shall be manifested through them by the name of his Son Jesus the Christ? It is now time for those whom God has called to step forward and move in place. These will not be self-called or called by man but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father. Repent!
