One of the things I’m most excited about in this season is that Yah is raising up a new generation of Shepherds (Pastor/Teachers) that are not people-pleasers but Commandment keepers!

They’re leaving denominational disorder, vain entertainment, and the lies they were taught in the past. They are learning how to feed God’s flock with pure truth and covenant love in difficult times.

I LOVE to encourage these brothers because it’s a hard job to do, and it takes a BEASTLY Anointing from Heaven to be a true shepherd in a wicked and adulterous generation!

A Shepherd is A Heavenly BEAST

Our generation sees Shepherding as the softest gift; but we forgot David won his biggest battles as a Shepherd, not as King.

Remember, One of the 4 Beasts around the Throne of the Most High is a Calf/Ox:

Ezekiel 1:¹⁰ As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.

Any person that is called by Jesus to walk in the Anointing of the Lion (Apostle), the Ox (Shepherd), the Man (Evangelist), and the Eagle (Prophet)… has to partake in the Anointing of one of the 4 Beasts that Surround the Throne!

That shows us that it’s not just the Apostle, Evangelist, and Prophet that walk in the Supernatural.

It also takes a Heavenly and BEASTLY Anointing to be a true shepherd (Pastor/Teacher) after God’s Flock, under the CHIEF Shepherd YASHUAH!

The Easy Part of Being a Shepherd is Teaching the Word, and Praying for People. The other Easy Part is Giving the Priestly Blessing and Encouraging People. People love those parts of the Shepherd’s Ministry!

The Hardest Parts of Being a Shepherd is CONGREGATIONAL DISCIPLINE:

1. WARNING Heretics TWICE and then REJECTING Them if they still choose to Condemn themselves:
Titus 3:10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

2. REFUSING to EAT with Fornicators, Covetous, Idolaters, or Abusers that say they are Believers – until they show Fruits of Repentance:
1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

3. Teaching ORDINANCES, Roles, and Differentiation of Responsibilities to MEN and WOMEN:
1 Corinthians 11: 2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

4. MARKING and AVOIDING those that use GOOD Words and Fair SPEECHES to REBEL Against Sound Doctrine:
Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

Discipline, Order, and Correction is when some immature Believers may get their feelings hurt and start playing the victim. But some will hear, listen, and grow!

Regardless to the response of people, Kingdom discipline must be done; because Yahusha never told us to gain followers, He said to make disciples. We must help people grow up, because those who are not willing to be disciplined are useless for His Kingdom.🔟👑

Are there False Shepherds who are Disobedient, Unqualified, Deceived, and are Spiritual Abusers? Unfortunately Yes. Stay away from them!

But if you are a true shepherd, don’t let the bad reputation of false shepherds reflect on you. JESUS’S sheep know His Voice, and eventually they will figure out the difference between deceivers and truth speakers/doers.

John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
John 10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

The Devil Told You To Muzzle the Ox – But What Does Scripture Say?

The Devil Said:

“Elders and Pastors aren’t valuable, you don’t need them. Doctrine is boring. People need entertainment in order to feel God’s love.”

“Don’t give money to congregational teaching ministries, they are evil and flawed. Just give to the poor and buy religious entertainment. Follow the best spiritual media influencers and channelers.”

The Scripture says:

1 Timothy 5: 17 Let the elders that rule well be counted WORTHY of DOUBLE HONOUR, ESPECIALLY they who LABOUR IN THE WORD and DOCTRINE.
18 For the SCRIPTURE saith, THOU SHALT NOT MUZZLE THE OX that treadeth out the corn. And, The LABORER IS WORTHY of his REWARD.
19 Against an ELDER receive NOT an ACCUSATION, but before two or three WITNESSES.

When you listen to the Devil instead of the Scripture, you will have the devils results in your future.

When you obey the Scripture instead of the Devil, you will have the Blessings of God on your soul, and on your children, and on your future.

Pastor/Teachers: Keep Looking Forward! Keep Plowing and Treading Out the Word of God for the People of God.

Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Let the Heavenly and BEASTLY Anointing from the Throne of God Help you to SHEPHERD His Flock!
