A Sheep with an Incredible Shepherd

“I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.” – Alexander The Great

I am a sheep in the army of the Lord, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. I’m fighting with the weapons of His presence, His love, and His power. Jesus said: “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.”

I listen to my invisible Shepherd and strive to do what He says. Here are some thoughts He is putting in my heart and prompting me to post:

Oratory Is Not the Answer, Jesus Is!

How many talks does it take to make a Christian’s heart continually overflow with passionate love for the risen Jesus?How many religious keynote addresses are the key to Christians living in supernatural victory?How many lectures do we need to listen to before we begin to daily celebrate and obey Jesus?How many sermons should we hear to cause us to become radical Christ-followers?How many discourses need to be delivered until we demonstrate “Christ in you, the hope of glory?”How many speeches are required to make believers “doers of the word and not hearers only?“

Christians should gather
As a heavenly colony,
Overflowing with joy,
Not meet in monotony.

There’s nothing monotonous about following the risen Jesus. If you’re bored, you’re off track. Let Jesus light up your heart, not just for a moment now and then, but day and night!

A great human problem is our false belief that we don’t need help to solve our problems. If you want to feel better fix the focus of your attention on the risen Jesus Christ. Jesus has promised to be with His followers always, not just in special moments, but everywhere all the time. Keep His presence as your center of attention!
