In The Battle

John 10:11-16

I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me, even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.

I know that in my story I used to be a major poser. I came to church, I sang the songs... I even prayed... but the problem was... I wasn't really listening to God, nor did I care what He was doing. I "played" church... so to you out there pretending, I say... Watch yourselves very closely. You are like a hired hand... You aren't a shepherd and you leave the sheep and the wolf... snatches them...

I'm asking those who are closest to me to hold me to this. I don't want you to be snatched up by the enemy. I don't want be the one who runs and hides like a coward. I will listen for the shepherd's voice... and I encourage you to do the same... We will become one flock!
