We are back in the meadow of the Wolves and another Sheep has confidently walked into the Wolf pack, only to be slaughtered mercilessly before our eyes.
The vicious aggression hits my heart like a hammer, I know this is nature but I cannot bare to watch.
Beside me, Gatherer points to another sheep coming down the valley and I want to run to stop it but Gatherer motions for me to allow the sheep to its fate.
The sheep heads into the pack and I can hear the vicious snarling from where I stand but none of the Wolves attack it. It stops in the middle of the snarling pack, its nose touching the nose of a large Wolf and then heads put of the pack, Wolf in tow.
As the Wolf lopes alongside the Sheep, it transforms before our very eyes. The Wolf literally morphs into a Sheep.
My brain struggles with what it has just seen and I turn to Gatherer for an explanation.
Gatherer:
“If you know who you are, you will know what to do.”
Me:
“Every other sheep, wolf, shepherd and even hunter that went into that pack was ripped to shreds, yet that sheep not only went into the pack, it brought a Wolf with it.”
Gatherer:
“We, the messengers, watch many believers attempt projects and ministries based on vague revelations and vague prophecies. In the assumption that all are equal, believers make the mistake of seeing themselves under a vague blanket of authority that assumes all have the same faith, rank and power.
As with the sons of Sceva, they throw themselves at demons and principalities without the authority to do so.
The son of God warned the disciples, telling them that He was sending them out as sheep among Wolves. In a vain hope for equality and a desire for power, believers assume that a command to the disciples is a command to every believer.
But what kind of Father would send a sheep among the wolves before the sheep is ready?
Heed these words son of sorrow: A baby drinks milk, learns to walk, then to run, then to hunt small animals then bigger animals, then it learns to defend itself from predators.
But you do not know who you are, so you do not know what to do.
You send babies to hunt predators and your hunters cower at home drinking milk.
Your Shepherds do not know that they are shepherds and your hunters do not know that they are hunters. Not all are the same, not every calling is the same, not every equipping is the same. All are unique, all are special but not all know who they are so very few know what to do.
How is it that you bring Wolves among the sheep without seeing true repentance son of sorrow? It is thus because you do not expect repentance, you do not teach them the seven spirits and you judge by gifts and not the fruit of the Spirit.
A wolf is still a wolf if it does not show the fruit of the spirit.
This is why they must repent, be baptized and receive the Holy Spirit, so that you may judge them by the fruit if the Spirit and set them upon a path to making disciples in that same image. But this judgement is not the judgement of the Father, it is the judgement of a Shepherd who desires to keep his flock safe.
Yet you do not know that you are supposed to be as children and as sheep, listening only to the good shepherd. You do not know who you are so you become as wolves, snapping at one another, and you use the Holy Spirit as wolves, to establish dominance in the pack.
You are not wolves. You are sheep. And each sheep is unique.
When you show the fruit of the Spirit as sheep, you will know what to do next. Every talent, gift and anointing will show you the way but when you use the Holy Spirit as Wolves, you will do as Wolves do, fight for power and destroy any sheep who comes among you.
If you know who are, you will know what to do. First you are a sheep, generous and filled with love, led by the great shepherd. Then the Holy Spirit will clear the path to your assignment and you will make disciples easily, even among Wolves. But until you show the fruit of the Spirit, you do not know who you are and all that you do is in vain.
There is nothing in heaven or earth that is acceptable in the eyes of the Father without love.
To a wolf, the end justifies the means but the Father sees all and judges all and those among you who lead will be judged with severity and held accountable for the path that every disciple takes.”
Me:
“That is hardly fair! How are we to determine what decisions people make after we teach them?”
Gatherer:
“Some children will take the wrong path regardless of good teaching and fullness of love but most children who are humiliated and abused will grow up to do the same. Our judge is a fair judge and sees and knows the difference so do not deceive yourself. First see the fruit of the Spirit in those you lead before giving them authority.
Only when they know who they are, displaying the fruit of the Spirit, will they truly know what to do. For then, in purity of heart, will the true purpose of the anointing be made clear to them and then, in fullness of compassion, will they move in the power of the Holy Spirit among the seven spiritual mountains.
But either they go or are sent to the seven mountains unprepared and unaware. And the expectations of mammon are placed upon them to produce fruit. But they do not know who they are so they do things that are not a fragrance unto the Lord. And not producing the fruit of the Spirit do they become as wolves. And many, even as wolves, are devoured by the wolves upon those mountains. For they do not know who they are, so they do not know what to do.
The kingdom is all son of sorrow. And this kingdom is first a kingdom of love and community. And the only fruit that matters is the fruit of the Holy Spirit. This is your identity and in your identity lies your power. Without love, the greatest feats are counterfeit.
Think on these things. For when you know who you are, you will know what to do!”
Me:
“The kingdom is all and the fruit of the kingdom begins with the fruit of the Holy Spirit. When we know who we are, we will know what to do.”
I wake up.
