Leading and teaching is what I was given the Shepherd duties of this ministry for. We are to love and understand the love of our Lord and let Him guide and lead us. It is an honor to be chosen for this and yes sometimes it is hard. Your prayers are always needed and appreciated…

1 John 2:26-27 (NKJV) 26 These things I have written to you concerning those who try to [lead you astray]deceive you. 27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you [omits will ]will abide in Him.

We are filled with false teaching, one thing I learned quickly was using complete statements from our Bible. So many times I have seen things taken totally out of context to prove a point. I know some say the Bible contradicts itself however the ones that say that does not read the whole statement completely. I have talked to them however they desire to argue not learn or grow.

First anyone reading the Bible and not saved the only thing they can actually get from it is that they need to be saved… It is like trying to build a computer with no training or understanding of how it is done, one can not. Nor can they understand the Bible.

The thing that I have seen is one of the hardest things to do and that is to love them through it. Hoping they will understand what is going on. The enemy is controlling them and they first have to remove him from the leadership of their lives.

The responsibility of being a Shepherd is over whelming sometimes. That is where I found out that your walk talks a lot louder than your talk talks. They can see your walk and what you do more then words out of our mouth. It is easy to see what someone else is doing wrong than it is to see yourself.

That is why it is a 24/7 thing. We are in view of someone most of the time and trust me we are being watched. It might just be a glance or a word but they are watching and wanting us to slip up so they can stand up and speak loud that we are no different then they are.

Let’s look at some scripture on gentle or kind words… There are many more I just took a few to help get the point across:
Proverbs 15:1 (NKJV) A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 15:4 (NKJV) A [healing]wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
Proverbs 25:15 (NKJV) By long forbearance a ruler is persuaded, and a gentle tongue breaks a bone.
Proverbs 31:26 (NKJV) She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness

I will close with this thought Isaiah 50:4 (NKJV) “The Lord God has given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He awakens Me morning by morning, he awakens My ear to hear as the learned.”

Thank you for reading and may God bless and be with you and watch over you. And let us understand, it is time for us to BLESS GOD…  This Ministry is supported with and by your love offerings, please consider helping us to spread the Gospel around the world.

Memory Verse November 19, 2019 2 Corinthians 12:10 (NKJV) Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
