FEED MY SHEEP

[FAITH]

"Simon Peter answered, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.' And Jesus said to him, 'Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in Heaven. I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in Heaven.'" Matthew 16:16-19

As we begin to understand our authority in the realm of the earth -- we decree and proclaim the ascended live – living from Heaven and dwelling in the sense of His presence. It is by our agreement with the Lord through understanding and carrying out our calling in Christ that these things will begin to be revealed and established.

"Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising." Isaiah 60:1-3

We arise and shine because the Light of God has finally come to release God's plan to establish the throne of God on earth. Although great darkness may permeate the earth, the righteous in Christ will begin to reflect Heaven's illumination.

NO GOOD THING WILL HE WITHHOLD

Psalm 84:11  - "For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; no good thing does He withhold from those who walk UPRIGHTLY.
As we confess and meditate on God's promises to believers and our identity in Christ -- we will more appropriately apprehend His purpose for our life and the hunger and desire to advance His Kingdom in the earth. This will create transference from His heart into ours. Then, our desire will be consistent with His purpose.

IT IS A GOOD THING:

It is a good thing to possess the holiness of God and His purity since we are one with Christ.

It is a good thing to be transformed by the renewing of our mind through declaring and meditating on God’s Word and seeing ourselves in God’s Word.

 
It is a good thing that we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.  

 

It is a good thing to experience communion with God and our brethren.

It is a good thing to stoke the vision to advance His Kingdom in the earth.

It is a good thing to embrace the love of Christ flowing through our heart and streaming into the lives of others.

It is a good thing to live by the faith of the Son of God.

 

It is a good thing to disciple "BABY CHRISTIANS" to bring them to an understanding of their "Christ Identity" and "right standing" with God.

 

John 20:17 - "He said to him the third time, 'Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?' Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time....Jesus said to him. "Feed My sheep."

"We understand what love is when we realize that Christ gave His life for us. That means we must give our lives for other believers." -  1John 3:16

To walk UPRIGHTLY is to obediently follow the leading of the Spirit of God as we go throughout the day. . A righteous walk is determined by how much of the glory of God is being manifested in our union with Christ.

Are we becoming the reflection of His image and God's representation on earth -- walking as one with Jesus -- even to DISCIPLING others who are new in Christ?
