This Is Not Even A Goat Thing, But A Sheep Thing.

This Is Not Even A Goat Thing, But A Sheep Thing And We Need To Be Scrupulous.

Ezekiel 34:17 & 22 speaks of God judging between the sheep and the sheep, between the fat and the lean sheep (vs 20). Here God’s saying He’s going to protect and save the vulnerable. He’s going to uphold the true believer. Those pastors who’ve been feathering their own nests. Those in the congregation who sit beside you, but go home to foul music and foul movies, illegalities and underhandedness – God is going to arise and bring forth His hand against them.

God is going to bind up the injured and strengthen the weak. God is searching the hearts of man, looking for those who are doing His will. This is not a final judgment, this is a word for now and it starts with His people, from His church; a sifting force separating the true believer from the fake.

This is not a wolves’ in sheep’s clothing matter. This is not a separation of goats and sheep. This is for those closest to God; those who call themselves Christian but don’t always act as such. God places an extremely high value on virtue and we need to be virtuous in all areas, showing ourselves to be worthy of God’s calling. Those falling short will see the hand of God move against them.

Nowadays there’s increasing anti-Christian works abounding; through governments, media, schools and with the giants of the land (big screen, big pharma, big corporation) and there will be a shift. The big players will fall away, but it doesn’t stop there. It will come right into the centre of your church. Those of you who aren’t living a Godly life, outside of Sunday morning, will be a target. Now is the time to set your house in order.

The bible states in Ezekiel 33:8-9; “When I say to the wicked ‘Oh wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.”

So, it’s up to me to warn the people; do not die in your iniquity. If you’re doing something immoral, illegal, or ill advised – STOP! Repent and ask forgiveness. Get back on track and start living a holy life.

Remembering Jesus died for our forgiveness of sins and left us the Holy Spirit, so as to enable us to live a holy life. We don’t need to do this on our own. It’s much easier to get fit while at the gym with all its resources, than to try to get fit before you join. So, join a church or a home study group, read your bible, allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life and become the men and women of God, that the Good Lord destined you to be.
