WHEN YAH IS OUR SHEPHERD
I have written this in a specific way for a specific reason, exchanging the words my or I and replacing them with our, because as sheep the only time that we are alone is when we have strayed from our shepherd and from the flock.
So I want you to understand that there are conditions associated with YAH being our shepherd, and that they come with automatic blessings, situations and results.
PROVISION
We Shall Not Want…
I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. — Psalm 37:25 KJV
PEACE
He maketh us lie down in green pastures: he leadeth us beside the still waters. He restores our soul:
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. — John 14:27 NKJV
PROTECTION
he leads us in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil: for thou [art] with us; thy rod and thy staff they comfort us.
[Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. — Hebrews 13:5-6 KJV
PERSECUTION
You prepare a table before us in the presence of our enemies: thou anointest our head with oil; our cup runs over.
Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me. — John 15:20-21 KJV
Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. — Matthew 5:11 KJ
PRESERVATION
You prepare a table before us in the presence of our enemies: you anoint our head with oil; our cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our life: and we will dwell in the house of YAHuWaH for ever.
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if [it were] not [so,] I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, [there] you may be also. “And where I go you know, and the way you know.” — John 14:1-4 NKJV
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, [who is] our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. — Colossians 3:1-4 KJV
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. — Matthew 7:21 NKJV
Maybe you have strayed from the good shepherd and are not experiencing the conditions of walking with the good shepherd…
YAH is calling you he has come to find you and bring you back in to his flock…
“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? “And when he has found [it,] he lays [it] on his shoulders, rejoicing. “And when he comes home, he calls together [his] friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ “I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. — Luke 15:4-7 NKJV
If you are not getting the results, bearing the fruits of YAH being your shepherd then I will leave you with the promise of YAH.
Shalom Love and Blessings
