Romans 11:29
Authorized (King James) Version
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Tell me what that means? Most people in church know what a pastor is. But they know nothing about the ministry of prophets. Today, the New Testament prophet's ministry is called "Prophetic Intercession". Only the people gifted by God for an office, whether it's pastor, evangelist, teacher or prophet, only they know what their calling is about. People who are not gifted with this office do not. Christian work is "On the Job training". We learn from the Lord as we listen to Him.
The pastor is there helping and caring. The church likes the love and attention. But they don't know what a prophet is. From personal experience, I can testify that prophets aren't the people-person-type like pastors are. We're the private-type. We are into fellowship with spirits, not people. We don't attend church that much, unless it's to give messages from them to the church. We have a different anointing.
Lots of people disagree with this, and all the fighting over who's right is one reason we don't attend church. Your problems mess up our anointing. We're not your pastors. We're not gifted to fix your problems. We're gifted to hear God, and we need to be alone to do this.
For us to hear God, we need to be alone somewhere. It's called a mountain top experience with God. Most people in church are used to people helping them in church. One reason I don't attend church is because I get treated less there than I do by the spirits. The spirits would be the Holy Spirit; God, and His angels. They're a lot better company than people are. They love perfectly and when I leave the house, I encounter the lusts of the flesh and of the mind in other people. Discrimination, pride, racism, envy, strife (competing with others to be better). The list can go on, but none of it is love.
There's no love in the churches like I'm used to. I don't attend church because of the way people are. They're always fighting. And they're always talking down about someone who's right about you because you're always wrong about them. Full grown adults take correction to be a better person. Full grown adults don't need to be corrected by others. That's for kids. That's what you are. Full grown adults with the minds of children.
I'm not your pastor. My portion in the land of the living is for my family and myself, not the church. Family comes before the church (1 Tim. 3:4, 5). I'm not going to give your poorhouse nothing because I'm instructed by God to give it to my wife and kids. I'm not giving you what God gave me for my 4-year-old daughter.
When I was single, God told me to give to charities but when I got married, God said,
"Your wife is your ministry. That's your wife's money now. I will provide for her through you. When she prays to Me for something, I will give it to you to give to her".
For example, there is a shelter for native American abandoned kids in Montana. I see my cousin's kids in that home. I used to give money to it but when I got married, God said that the money for them is now for my daughter. When I was about to write a check to them, God said,
"Give that money to your daughter".
1 Timothy 3:1-7
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
3 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (for if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without {the church}; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
All this makes me not wanted by your churches because I won't give you money and I won't attend your weekly boxing matches in church. You call the services, I call them fights. Fighting to be the strongest and who's right. No love. And I also won't help your poor. You people are not supposed to act like but I'm acting right by acting like this. I can but you can't. I pray for you, but we're not supposed to tell you what we're praying for because they're the stuff you don't want no one to know about.
A prophet's ministry is quiet intercession. God sees your silent suffering and your bondages, and He whispers them to us...when I pass you, I hear God naming your sins...we don't confront you. We don't report you. We just repeat the words about you back to God and the Holy Spirit delivers you.
But you can't know none of this. This is a ministry. God tells me what to pray for. You think that you can bring me your prayer request because you only know about a pastor's ministry; a local church. I take prayer requests, but in a prophet's ministry, God tells us what to pray for about you.
He also talks to me. I don't need to get up and start opening portals for the Holy Spirit and the angels to come in through, such as praise, worship, Bible study and prayer (talking to God). God begins my daily devotions by talking to me. Or I wake up with angels talking to me. The spirits talk to me all day and night, even in my sleep. My life with God is one big devotional. It never stops. God talks to me. I talk to Him but they're always responses. My anointing is not like yours where you have to press in. You always give the first word to God everyday. My anointing is God always gives the first word. They talk to me because it's my office and ministry.
I said all that to say this. One of the fights you're in, in church, is who gets to be your leader. When it comes to the church, the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. God chooses who to put in ministry leadership, not you (1 Cor. 12:7-11). You didn't hire him, and you can't fire him.
God's kingdom isn't a democracy where the people hold the power and can fire anyone who doesn't do what they want. You can't vote your pastor out. God's kingdom is a theocracy. God is Chief. He hires and He fires. It's His way, or the highway. It's very simple. When you get saved, you make a life of service to God in gratitude and when you get there, you encounter people who want to fire you. That's the way people are, you say. Take your ass to church to your pastor, don't come to me. I'm not your pastor.
One of the scriptures they use is 1 Sam. 15:28 when God replaced Saul with David and said, paraphrased,
"I want a better man".
1 Samuel 15:28
Authorized (King James) Version
28 And Samuel said unto {Saul},
The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day,
and hath given it to a neighbour of thine {David}, that is better than thou.
You can't replace a man or woman of God. That's God's job. God will not go back on His promises to them or you. If that leader is in sin, God will take him/ her to another location, but He will not revoke His vocation. It's not up to you to replace someone.
Ephesians 4:1-3
Authorized (King James) Version
4 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
You say, "He won't love me. He won't feed me. He won't give me money. I want to be equal to his wife and daughter. If he gives money to his daughter, he has to give it to my daughter too". You sound like hurt homosexuals.
None of that is from God. If I listen to any of that, I'm not listening to God. I'm not a pastor. You're acting like this because you know what pastor's do. You want me to act like your pastor does to you. My ministry is first to my family and my prayer lists come from God and His angels. You know you got silent frustrations that you want to leave as skeletons in your closet. You don't want to talk about them to anyone. God prays about that stuff with me. You don't need to tell me because God does. God doesn't need you telling Him what to pray for about you. He knows more about your problems than you do. Thank God there's a ministry that prays about your unspoken prayers. Which of you convinces of sin? If any man thinks himself to be spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things I write to you are the commandments of God.
Your churches make their sheriff their pastor, but that sheriff doesn't know God and his teachings aren't from the Bible because he studies law, not the Bible. He's not a pastor. He's a sheriff. Your towns are cops and informants. Not Christians. It's about love not arresting someone. A pastor's job isn't to arrest his church. It's to get you saved and disciple you. A sheriff can be a Christian and read his Bible but that doesn't make him your pastor. His job isn't in your church. His job is at the sheriff's station. His profession is to arrest you, not pastor you in church. His job isn't to teach you at your church. It's at the county jail.
Your towns in North Dakota are full of discrimination, not love. You hate people and you attack them with law. You use law because you want to be right because you're full of pride and not the Holy Ghost. God told your towns last year the way He sees you. He said that you racists in church are dead plants being eaten underneath the earth by worms. He said the worms are demons and their feeding on you because as worms eat dead plants, so demons eat dead humans. God said that you're the dead. You're not Christians. You're false prophets fighting in prejudice and discrimination in church. Saying you want a better person to lead them. One who will allow them to beat them, and then pray for them. None of that is in the Bible.
Once again, you're wrong about replacing someone who won't meet you in church. It's because God is telling them not to help you. The gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
You can't learn about your office and calling from another person. It has to be God to teach you. But you go to your pastor instead of make your own relationship with God. You can't learn from a pastor about a prophet because he's not a prophet. You have to work out your own salvation with God. Learn who you are in Christ by what God tells you.
Another difference God wants you to know about today between a pastor and a prophet, is how they learn. Pastors learn from books. They learn from other men who've "been there and done that". I learn from God. He talks to me and teaches me. So, my source of learning isn't the Bible or any books. It's spirits. The Lord and His angels. They tell me words and then the Holy Spirit reveals to me in the Bible what those words mean. It's called a prophetic ministry. The Holy Spirit talks to the pastor through the Bible. The Holy Spirit talks to prophets in person.
If you think you're replacing someone and got a town behind you, that isn't God. It's prejudice and a cop's power. You want to replace someone cos you're offended about something. That offense taking root is bitterness (Heb. 12:14-16). Not God. It's discrimination, not God. Not love (1 Jn. 4:7, 8). God doesn't revoke His calling and gifts. He replaces those who try to.
What I see in Church
Adults act like the child who hit Okie Dokey
"You have to be nice to me no matter what I do (smack)!"
I'm not against the police. I'm against dirty police. Crooked cops, and honestly, there's a lot of them in North Dakota. The feds are retraining a lot of them as a measure. A lot of them are into nepotism & treason. Which means that they don't want to arrest their loved ones and will arrest innocent people instead to cover for their loved ones. You might wonder why I have a "juice card" with the cops. It's cos they know me from jail. A lot of the cops from Los Angeles moved out here during the recession back in the early 2000's. Out here in North Dakota, half of the forces are related to me.
The Holy Spirit through the Apostle Paul in Romans 13:1-4 says that God ordained civil authority. A lot of the cops aren't Christian. The police are a force of Light (as in the Forces of God's Light), because it is against evil forces in the world to value of human life. They bring law & order out of chaos, with God's angels, but a don't know it (Heb. 13:2). Angels are like cops. They fight evil for God. But that's another message. I once asked God for help with someone, and a cop knocked on my door (Rom. 13:4).
Romans 13:1-4
Living Bible
13 Obey the government, for God is the one who has put it there. There is no government anywhere that God has not placed in power. 2 So those who refuse to obey the laws of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow. 3 For the policeman does not frighten people who are doing right; but those doing evil will always fear him. So if you don’t want to be afraid, keep the laws and you will get along well. 4 The policeman is sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for he will have you punished. He is sent by God for that very purpose.
A lot of the cops are not saved. They are from the forces of Light, but they are a secular organization. This is why the Holy Spirit through Paul will say to listen to law because they are ordained by God (Rom. 13:1-4), then says not to let their laws guide the internal affairs of the church. God commands us in church to use our minds to make our own solutions to conflict instead of going to secular organizations, or, to unbelievers (1 Cor. 6:1-11). This basically means don't call the cops on your church or family.
Secret Faults
God Doesn't Want You in Jail
Psalm 19:12
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
12 Who can understand his errors?
cleanse me from secret faults, {O Lord}.
This means that God doesn't want you in jail. God doesn't want you getting the secular organizations involved in church affairs. This is called "The Separation of Church and State". Churches have an agreement with law in court called "Confidentiality". This means that when criminals enter church grounds trying to confess the secret faults and repent (get saved), God wants to keep the cops from arresting you in Church. They can't enter church property and take you to jail or shoot you. The church Father or pastor; the Shepherd, is the one to debrief to in confession and they won't arrest you because they're not cops. They want to help you change for and with God.
If you're in church trying to confess and repent of the skeletons in your closet, then you're "God material". That's what God wants and needs to change you into Christ's image (1 Jn. 1:5-10). You don't need jail to correct you because you're repenting and need to debrief and talk about it. You need to clean your closet, but talking about that closet stuff in public will get law involved. Talk to a Pastor or Father in church.
So, when God shows me your silent frustrations and secret faults (Ps. 19:12), we in prophetic intercession have to be quiet and pray quietly about it (Mt. 6:6). God doesn't want to embarrass or arrest you. He wants to get rid of that problem quietly. When we do our job, one day you will notice that the bondage is gone.
You might want to call the cops on your church, but God wants you to let Him deal with your church with the prophets (Pr. 11:13). This is why your sheriff isn't your pastor. If he was, there would surely be a lot of suicides over these secret faults being dealt with wrongly (Rom. 7 & 8).
You can't burn people like that. To call the cops on them but not on yourself. You put them in jail, but you don't turn yourself in. This is why God says to forgive others as God has forgiven you. Otherwise, you will be cast into hell for your unforgiveness and hypocrisy (Mt. 18). Treat others the way you want to be treated. To burn someone means to treat them less than yourself. But you "burn and don't get burned", instead. You call the cops on others, but you want mercy when you mess up. You have to treat them equally and that means that if you don't want to get arrested when you mess up, don't call the cops on your neighbor who mistreats you. You have to come up with your own solutions to conflict without calling the cops and using secular law on them. Why? Because this is what you want done to you.
The Golden Rule
The Law of Royalty
The Royal Law
Matthew 7:12
Authorized (King James) Version
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,
Do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Matthew 22:34-40
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that {Jesus} had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Mercy Triumphs Over Judgement
(James 2:13)
Matthew 18:21-35
Authorized (King James) Version
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. 23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. 24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. 28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. 29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. 32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: 33 shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. 35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Don't Call the Cops
Work Out Your Own Laws in Church
1 Corinthians 6
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
6 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. 7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? 8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate {homosexuals}, nor abusers of themselves with mankind {sexual perverts}, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. 15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Mercy Triumphs Over Judgement
Don't Call the Cops
Call God
James 2:1-13
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
2 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 3 and ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 4 are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? 5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? 6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? 7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? 8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9 but if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak ye, and so do {practice what you preach}, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. 13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
The Faithful

Proverbs 11:12-14
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour:
but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
13 A {tattle tell} revealeth secret {faults}: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

{Paraphrased}
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? 42 And the Lord {Jesus} said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh {back} shall find so doing.
Matthew 25:23
Authorized (King James) Version
23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Revelation 2:12-17
Authorized (King James) Version
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. 14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

Therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

Take God's Correction
And Repent
Before It's Too Late
5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: 6 for whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. 12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 13 and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. 14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16 lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
Romans 13:1-4
Living Bible
13 Obey the government, for God is the one who has put it there. There is no government anywhere that God has not placed in power. 2 So those who refuse to obey the laws of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow. 3 For the policeman does not frighten people who are doing right; but those doing evil will always fear him. So if you don’t want to be afraid, keep the laws and you will get along well. 4 The policeman is sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for he will have you punished. He is sent by God for that very purpose.
Proverbs 22:15
Authorized (King James) Version
15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child;
But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
The Holy Spirit heard your prayers, O Christian policeman. That you think you should treat those you arrest as the pastors do, and help instead of arrest them. If the Lord has delivered someone to you instead of to the church, he needs to be arrested because sometimes when you ask God for help, he sends a policeman.
If you read the opening scriptures to you, the police, those are the kinds of people that need to go to jail because they're fools. They need to be corrected with "tough love". They won't listen to God and repent to get rid of their bondages in church. They need to go to jail. Just do your job and put them in jail. God will deal with them there. Amen.
In California back in the 90's, God asked me one time to pray for a criminal and after I laid hands on him, he backed up and hit the wall very hard that he broke through it. He hit the wall about four times. God healed him with that. He had suppressed anger sitting in him that caused him to commit crimes. After he hit the wall, he stopped going to jail, got back with his wife and started working and going to church. He didn't try to hit me. He needed to release all that pent up anger. After he hit the wall, he said to me, "That felt good"!
Another time in California back in the 90's, God asked me to pray for someone. After I laid hands on him, a cop stopped him as he walked home. He had warrants for some violent crimes. He went to the department of corrections or about 10-years...but he attended church in jail.
See? God uses the police when He needs to. Civil authority is ordained by God for correction. In the Old Testament times, Israel used to call jail "the correction stocks". They used to tie them to a bench and beat the with whips to correct them. Today, God uses jail to correct His fools.
Your job isn't at the church. It's at the police station. You're a church member but you're not the pastor. Your job isn't to make people listen to law. It's to arrest people for breaking the law. You are part of God's correction on His people, the believers in Jesus. God begins the correction with you when you arrest them. But your job is to put people in jail, not correct them. The Correctional Officers in the jails (CO's) have the job of correcting God's people in jail. Your job is to deliver them to the CO's in jail.
You aren't a pastor. Your job isn't at the church teaching God's people. Your job is at the jail arresting people. So, you don't try to arrest people and put them in church for help. When God says that He doesn't want to arrest His people for their crimes, that doesn't you put them in church for deliverance instead of in jail. That's why God says "do your job" when you arrest church members.
The Lord is our Shepherd
Psalm 23
Authorized (King James) Version
Psalm 23
A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
The Shepherd's Rod & Staff
Guidance, Correction & Protection
I want to show you what the shepherd's rod and staff are for. Earlier in this post, I called the rod the Lord's Rod of Correction. As you can see from the illustrations, the rod is a wolf beater. Shepherds are wolf killers. The staff is used to grab the sheep and pull them back into the fold because wolves hunt lone & lost sheep. The staff is for guidance and the rod has a dual purpose. To beat the wolf and to correct the sheep. When the sheep begin to stray from the fold, the shepherd hits the sheep with his rod to make the sheep stay in the fold before it gets too far and becomes food for the enemy.
The Lord Jesus is our shepherd. Jesus is the Great Shepherd of the sheep (Heb. 13:19-21). When His church begins to stray back into the world, the wolf's den, He hits us with the rod to stop us from going astray and to keep us in the fold. This hit is the Department of Corrections. God's correction is an arrest with civil authority. God uses civil authority to correct His straying sheep. Some sheep don't listen to the staff of guidance in church. They need to be hit like a fool with the Lord's rod of correction (Pr. 7:22). Knuckleheads from the school of hard knocks.
Proverbs 22:15
Authorized (King James) Version
15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child;
But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Hebrews 13:20, 21
Authorized (King James) Version
20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus,
that great shepherd of the sheep,
Through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will,
Working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ;
To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
John 10:1-18
Authorized (King James) Version
Jesus is our Shepherd
10 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

Godly Sorrow
2 Corinthians 7:8-11
Authorized (King James) Version
8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season. 9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. 10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
"The Old Man is Dead" (Del Way - 2 Corinthians 5:17 - 2006)
2 Corinthians 5:17
Authorized (King James) Version
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ,
He is a new creature: old things are passed away;
Behold, all things are become new.
"Create in Me A Clean Heart, O God" (Keith Green - Psalm 51:10-12 - 1984)
Psalm 51:10-12
Authorized (King James) Version
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God;
And renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence;
And take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;
And uphold me with thy free spirit.

Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
"He's Alive"! (Dolly Parton - John chapter 20 - 1989)
John 20
Authorized (King James) Version
20 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. 2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. 3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. 4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. 5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. 6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, 7 and the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. 8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. 9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home. 11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, 12 and seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. 16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. 17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. 18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. 21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: 23 whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. 27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. 29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31 but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

"Rushing Wind" (Keith Green - Acts 2:1-4 - 1981)
Acts 2:1-4
Authorized (King James) Version
2 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Matthew 25:6-13
Authorized (King James) Version
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you:
But go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came;
And they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
16 For the Lord {Jesus} himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
With the voice of the archangel,
And with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
To meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord {Jesus}.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Corinthians 15:51-57
Authorized (King James) Version
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,
And this mortal shall have put on immortality,
Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner,
When she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, 38 and stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears,
And did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet,
And anointed them with the ointment.
"Leavin' {This World in the Rapture} On My Mind" (Steve Brock - 2009)
2 Corinthians 5:1-8
Contemporary English Version
5 Our bodies are like tents that we live in here on earth. But when these tents are destroyed,
We know that God will give each of us a place to live.
These homes will not be buildings someone has made, but they are in heaven and will last forever. 2 While we are here on earth, we sigh because we want to live in that heavenly home.
3 We want to put it on like clothes and not be naked.
4 These tents we now live in are like a heavy burden, and we groan.
But we don't do this just because we want to leave these bodies that will die.
It is because we want to change them for bodies that will never die.
5 God is the one who makes all this possible.
He has given us his Spirit to make us certain he will do it.
6 So always be cheerful!
As long as we are in these bodies, we are away from the Lord.
7 But we live by faith, not by what we see.
8 We should be cheerful, because we would rather leave these bodies and be at home with the Lord.
Philippians 3:20-21
New International Version
20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 Who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control,
Will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
Lyrics: (Jimmy Swaggart - Homeward Bound - 1980)
This old house I've been living in, is needing repair
The windows and the shutters are letting in the cold, cold air
I say to myself, I'm going to fix them, when I can get the time
But all I'm getting lately is leaving on my mind.
Chorus: Lately all I've got is leaving on my mind
It seems that's all I've been thinking about, most all the time
Soon and very soon I'll leave my troubles far behind
Cause all I'm getting lately is leaving on my mind
Verse II: I guess I ought to be looking for a better place to live
But I just can't get excited about the world and what it can give
I wouldn't care if I could buy it all with a solitary dime,
For what would this world's goods do me,
With leaving on my mind
Repeat Chorus: Lately all I've got is leaving on my mind
It seems that's all I've been thinking about, most all the time
Soon and very soon I'll leave my troubles far behind
Cause all I'm getting lately is leaving on my mind
Yes, all I'm getting lately is leaving on my mind
"Grace by which I Stand" (Keith Green - 1980)
2 Corinthians 12:9
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
9 And {the Holy Spirit} said unto me,
My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Titus 2:11-13
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
We should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13 looking for that blessed hope {the resurrection from the dead},
And the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ {which comes right after};
