VISION OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF SERVANTS OF GOD (SHEPHERDS OF THE FLOCK): WITH SOME BEING GENUINE SERVANTS OF THE LORD WHILE OTHERS BEING FALSE SHEPHERDS (WOLVES IN A SHEEP CLOTHING)

In a supernatural dream (vision at night) of The LORD God Almighty, The LORD Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit in the morning of 19^th July 2014, I found myself in a place that looked like a presentation hall (a preaching altar).

So in front of the hall were different servants of God from different countries; all kinds of servants of God you can think of were all there, they were on the same platform. Each of them was speaking while standing, one at a time. As they spoke, I was made to understand that not all of them were genuine servants of The LORD.

The vision of The LORD then ended.

The message that was imparted in my heart from this very powerful communication of The LORD is that there are genuine servants of The LORD and there are also the false ones. And a time has come when wolves in sheep’s clothings are masquerading as shepherds of the flock.

So everyone everywhere on the entire earth must be careful to ensure that they are not led astray by the false shepherds.

SHALOM!!!

The question, that then follows is: How can one know the genuine servants of The LORD from the false ones? So below are some of the fundamental criteria to interrogate your Preacher/Pastor/Reverend/Bishop/Pope/Prophet/Deacon or whatever name they are called to determine what type of a servant they are:

1-Is your preacher talking about and preaching about the Blood of The LORD Jesus Christ and the essence of the cross i.e. of everyone denying themselves and taking up their cross and following The LORD Jesus Christ? And that our redemption comes through the crucifiction of The LORD Jesus Christ on the cross; whereupon He shed His blood. A genuine servant of The LORD Must do so.

Romans 3:25-26 “God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.”

Luke 9:23-26 ‘“Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.”’

2-Is your preacher talking about and preaching about Repentance for the forgiveness of sins and turning away from sins? A genuine servant of The LORD Must do so.

Mathew 4:17 ‘“From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”’

Mathew 3:6-10 ‘“Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”’

3- Is your preacher talking about and preaching about walking in Righteousness, Holiness, Truth and Complete Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ? A genuine servant of The LORD Must do so.

Hebrew 12:14 “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.”

4- Is your preacher talking about and preaching about the very imminent coming of The LORD Jesus Christ to Rapture His bride into Heaven; and the need to prepare the way for the coming of The LORD? A genuine servant of The LORD Must do so. 

A false shepherd will be preoccupied with making you comfortable on this earth i.e. earthly- minded instead of being Heavenly-minded (looking up for your redemption is near).

Luke 21:25-28 “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

5- Is your preacher talking about and preaching about the anointing of The Holy Spirit and the gifts of The Holy Spirit and the great move of The LORD and praying for the baptism of The Holy Spirit and Holy Fire; in other words, is your preacher talking about and preaching about being Born-again and the renewing of your mind through the anointing of The Holy Spirit and the cleansing/purification/refining through the Holy Fire from the throne room of Heaven? A genuine servant of The LORD Must do so.

John 3:3-8 ‘“Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”’

Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

6- Is your preacher talking about and preaching about the eternal life or death that comes after the life on the earth i.e. in Heaven or Hell respectively, and how/why people eventually find themselves in either of the two eternal places? A genuine servant of The LORD Must do so.

Luke 13:1-5 ‘“Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”’

7- Is your preacher talking about and preaching about the fact that The LORD Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price (sacrifice) at the cross so that you may receive salvation through faith (believing) i.e. He paid it all without any outstanding balance in your account? A genuine servant of The LORD Must do so.

A false shepherd will tell you that you need to sow a seed so that you may reap the benefits of salvation i.e. they will tell you that for you to receive your blessing/salvation/redemption/healing/success you must hand over to them some colossal amounts of money (or piece of property or offer sexual favours) as a seed you are sowing. In essence the false shepherds are saying that there was some outstanding amounts that The LORD Jesus Christ did not clear (pay all) at the cross regarding your account.

John 3:16-21 ‘“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.”’

Romans 3:23-26 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.”

8- Is your preacher talking about and preaching about the Bible i.e. Is he/she talking about or preaching about what is in the Bible; in other words, does the place where you attend fellowship, a Bible believing and a Bible centered fellowship/church ? A genuine servant (fellowship/church) of The LORD Must do so.

A false shepherd will introduce teachings that are contrary to what is in the Bible and will foolishly twist the word of The LORD to suit his/her (and congregations/listeners) desires and appetite.

2nd Timothy 4:3-5 “ For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.”

SHALOM!!!

John 10:25-30 ‘“Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”’

Mathew 7:15-20 ‘“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.”’

PREPARE THE WAY FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IN ABSOLUTE REPENTANCE, RIGHTEOUSNESS, HOLINESS, TRUTH AND COMPLETE SURRENDER TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST (YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH). TIME IS ABSOLUTELY OVER; THE MESSIAH JESUS CHRIST IS IMMINENTLY COMING TO PICK HIS BRIDE!!! 

REPENTANCE PRAYER:

Precious Jesus, 

I acknowledge today that you are LORD and savior of all mankind, 

and today I have recognized my shortfall,

I repent and turn away from all sin. 

Please cover me with your precious blood, 

and establish your word in my life,

that I may be found in righteousness and holiness

and write my name in your book of life 

and baptize me with the power of the Holy Spirit 

in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. 

Amen. 

Shalom!!! Shalom!!! Shalom!!!
