A voice of the cry of the shepherds....

[orbiter]

Peace.

Worldly sorrow vs godly sorrow.

The Lord shall cause the rich “shepherds” of the churches much grief (“howl, you shepherds and cry….) in this coming time as He comes to deliver His sheep from their churches where they are not being fed with His Word of Truth. Their grief shall be one of worldly sorrow and not of godly sorrow unto repentance that leads to salvation. Their worldly grief will bring death instead.

Woe unto those that are full now for they shall hunger. Woe unto those who laugh now for they shall mourn and weep (worldly sorrow).

Luke 6:24-26 KJV
(24) But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
(25) Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

Woe unto those pastors and leaders who are spoken welll of by all men.

(26) Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

When the Lord comes to give us an understanding (He opens His mouth and teaches us), then blessed are those will hear and “mourn”…..a godly sorrow that leads to repentance unto salvation. They will hear His voice and be ashamed of those church things that they once participated in which leads to death. Those who will mourn (godly sorrow) shall be comforted.

Matthew 5:1-6 KJV
(1) And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
(2) And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

Those who will hear His voice in this time and be of few words shall be happy. Blessed are the poor in spirit (breath). Their words shall be few (using their breath sparingly to speak words) as they hear Him and shall enter in to understand His knowledge. They will use “little strength” in their words towards the “open door” of utterance as He opens His mouth and teaches us.

(3) Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
(4) Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
(5) Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
(6) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

The days of the “slaughter” of the rich shepherds are being concluded….as they shall never again prevent the life of Jesus from ever appearing in the mortal flesh of those sheep that they are leading astray. The days of their dispersions of us (causing divisions among us with their “denominations”) shall come to an end.

Jeremiah 25:34-36 KJV
(34) Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.
(35) And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.

The LORD shall “spoil their pasture” which shall cause the worldly “cry of the shepherds”.

(36) A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture.

Our Lord comes to give us an understanding with His voice speaking to us as He opens up the Scriptures to our understanding. The Lord shall “feed” us with the Word of Truth and many will depart from the company (their churches) of those who are leading us astray which will cause them (the “pastors” of the churches) much lamenting….worldly lamenting…. and not sorrow that leads to repentance unto salvation.

We must hear His voice and be “sorrowed to repentance”. Godly sorrow works repentance to salvation while “sorrow of the world” works death.

2 Corinthians 7:9-10 KJV
(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.

Many of those “shepherds” who are peddling the Word of God in order to get their own earthly needs met (what to eat, what to drink, what to wear) shall hear His voice and will lament.....sorrow of the world because of the earthly things that are being cut off from their “preaching” as many of the sheep that they once deceived no longer “buy” what they are “selling” in their churches. Why seek the living among the “dead”? We must depart from them.

2 Corinthians 2:14-17 KJV
(14) Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
(15) For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

Their hearing of His manifest knowledge shall be a “savor of death unto death” to those who will not want to hear it and will lament in a worldly sense over their “loss” of the sheep who will depart from their churches.Those who are currently retailing the Word of God shall sorrow...worldly sorrow that leads to death.

(16) To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
(17) For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

The “rich men”….the rich pastors of the churches…will “weep and howl” for the worldly miseries that will come upon them as the Lord shall come and feed His sheep and lead them out from among those who are “dead”. We must “arise” at the hearing of His voice and depart from their “dead” company which will bring them much worldly sorrow and not godly sorrow.

James 5:1-6 KJV
(1) Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
(2) Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
(3) Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
(4) Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

The rich pastors of the churches have lived in pleasure on the earth (as they are minding and receiving their earthly things). They have nourished their hearts as they have rejoiced in the current status of things inside the church. But they have rejoiced in this “day of slaughter” as they condemn and kill the Just One…..as the life of Jesus is being removed from this earth by their deceptions.

(5) Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
(6) Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

Let us hear His voice and “RISE, let us be GOING” for behold, he is at hand that does betray the life of Jesus (the appearing Son of man) from ever appearing in our mortal flesh. The life of Jesus is being betrayed into the hands of sinners as they lead us astray from the Way of righteousness that leads to His appearing life in our mortal flesh which would give us His eternal life in this earth. We are not being fed with the Word of Truth in their churches.

Matthew 26:45-46 KJV
(45) Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
(46) Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

WE have a commandment from the Father that we should do: ARISE and let us go hence. We must depart from their churches where no mortal flesh is being saved. The “prince of the world”….those pastors who love to have the preeminence among men (love to be first) will have nothing in Him as they will persecute those who will hear and believe and DO His will.

John 14:29-31 KJV
(29) And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
(30) Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
(31) But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

Let us “GO FORTH” unto Him “without the camp” bearing His reproach as those we leave behind will persecute us ( calling us “evildoers”) as we leave.

Hebrews 13:9-16 KJV
(9) Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
(10) We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
(11) For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
(12) Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
(13) Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
(14) For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
(15) By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
(16) But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

When He opens His mouth and teaches us, we are to be quick to hear and slow to speak and slow to wrath for the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of God. If any man will DO His will, he shall know of the doctrine whether it be of God or not.

John 7:15-17 KJV
(15) And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
(16) Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
(17) If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

His teaching might strongly challenge our own deeply-entrenched church beliefs as the “rain descends and the floods come and the winds blow” and “beat upon” our house. We are to be found abiding upon the Rock that is Christ by doing His commandment to have love so that we may stand before Him at His presence when He opens up His mouth to speak to us….to teach us…to open up the Scriptures to our hearing ears. These things are challenging at first and will cause some to be tempted to speak out in wrath.

Matthew 7:24-25 KJV
(24) Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
(25) And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

We must be found of Him abiding in Him…doing His righteousness ….so that we may stand in confidence before His presence (“coming) as He opens up our minds to the Scriptures and not be ashamed.

1 John 2:28-29 KJV
(28) And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
(29) If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

Let us remember to let brotherly love continue and remember to be hospitable to “strangers” who will come speaking His words to our ears and a most unexpected time we are not anticipating. Blessed (happy) are those who “watch”…stay awake and keep His garments….works of His righteousness….lest they speak out in their wrath and work unrighteousness and they see their “shame” manifest.

Revelation 16:15 KJV
(15) Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

Let us hear….knowing the time…that NOW is the high time to awake out of “sleep” for NOW is our salvation nearer than when we believed. Men have changed the time of salvation when NOW is the time of our salvation.

Romans 13:10-14 KJV
(10) Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
(11) And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

Let us hear and cast off the works of darkness and put on the Lord Jesus Christ (the “garments) and not make provision for acting out in the flesh : speaking in wrath, envy, strife, contentions towards what we hear.

(12) The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
(13) Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
(14) But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

We once chose to listen to “Barabbas” (a murderer and thief) in our churches…. following after the “prince of this world”….the men who love to have the preeminence among the churches.

We have denied the Holy One and the Just and desired to listen to a man who preaches “another Jesus”. His life is being “killed” out of the lives of so many who choose to let a carnally-thinking man to rule over them seeing themselves as “wise” for doing so.

The Prince of life WAS dead but behold, He is alive now and forever more so that we may have His eternal life now in this earth. God already raised Him from the dead so that we may have His life now for salvation is NOW. Let us choose to follow the Prince of life unto salvation and not the “prince of this world” who is preaching “another Jesus” and leads us to our mortal death from this earth. Those who preach “another Jesus” are not confessing that Jesus IS COMING in our mortal flesh. They are preaching their covenant with death and their agreement with the grave instead. The “tomb” is a sure thing according to them and they seal it with their handwriting of church dogmas.

Acts 3:14-20 KJV
(14) But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
(15) And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
(16) And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

Through ignorance do we and our "rulers" do this and so we can repent and be converted so that our sins may be blotted out when the times of refreshing shall come from the face of the Lord.

(17) And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
(18) But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
(19) Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
(20) And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

There is a way that seems right (straight) unto a man, but the end of it are the ways of death.

It seems “wise” for ourselves to go to church where the “pastor” preaches to us and we keep their church’s doctrines and commandments (serving the handwriting of church dogmas).

But this is where a man takes advantage of us and does not feed us with the Word of Truth and leads us down the broad way to the destruction of our mortal flesh as the life of Jesus is being “cut off” from appearing in our mortal bodies. He is being cut off from the land of the living. Who can speak of His generation in this earth as the wicked take away His life from appearing?

Proverbs 14:12 KJV
(12) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

The handwritings of church dogmas are against us and contrary to us getting along as we fight and war over our respective denominational teachings and commandments of men that are not saving the mortal flesh of anyone who is serving and worshipping them. We set aside the commandment of God to have love for one another in order to serve and worship the handwriting.

Colossians 2:13-15 KJV
(13) And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

We are “dead” in our sins and the uncircumcision of our flesh when we serve the handwriting of church dogmas….but our Lord comes to make us alive TOGETHER with the Spirit of Truth that we are to hear and He blots out the handwriting of ordinances (dogmas) which are against us getting along with one another. We are forgiven for our trespasses.

(14) Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

He spoils the handwriting of the church scribes…their “powers” to bring us into their church bondage and keep us there until we perish from this earth.

(15) And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

We were servants of sin when we served and worshipped the handwriting and the fruit of those things always ended in death as no mortal flesh is being saved in any “church” denomination where they serve and worship their handwritings.

Romans 6:20-21 KJV
(20) For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
(21) What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

Let us no longer serve the “creature”…the ordinance…..but serve the Creator by having love for one another.

Romans 1:25 KJV
(25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

If we do not walk after His commandment to have love for one another, then the MANY deceivers (who say that they are the Christ…the anointed) come forth to deceive us. They say that they are anointed…..that Christ is speaking in them when they “preach” to us but they deceive. They are the “instead of Christ” ...as Christ is not speaking to us in their words.

2 John 1:6-7 KJV
(6) And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

The do not confess (preach) that Jesus Christ IS COMING (continuous) in our mortal flesh which gives our mortal bodies His eternal life in this earth. They preach “another Jesus” instead.

(7) For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

According to them, He is not at “home” and will come home at the day appointed. They confess not that Jesus IS COMING in our mortal flesh.

Proverbs 7:19-20 KJV
(19) For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
(20) He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

Many see themselves as “wise” for letting them bring them into their church bondage where they exalt themselves over the “wise” and take of them. We are our own worst enemy as we see ourselves as “wise” for letting these things happen to us.

2 Corinthians 11:19-20 KJV
(19) For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
(20) For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.

We so wisely receive a man who comes and preaches “another Jesus” or receive another spirit. The antichrist spirit does not confess (preach) that Jesus IS COMING in our mortal flesh…and this deception is widespread as MANY are going down the wrong way to the destruction of their mortal bodies from off this earth. We receive the Jesus that “Barabbas” preaches and not Jesus that is termed the Christ. We ourselves count Him among those who are lawless but He is not there (man’s numbering of Him that He is among the churches of carnal men). We reckon that the Jesus that they are preaching is the right Jesus but He is not there. Why seek the Living One among those who are “dead” in their sins and trespasses? He is not there.

2 Corinthians 11:3-5 KJV
(3) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
(4) For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
(5) For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles

We worship our own will (will worship) as we voluntarily keep their doctrines and commandments of men. We willingly subject ourselves to them in order to keep and serve them. It seems so right to us…and yet it is so wrong.

Colossians 2:20-23 KJV
(20) Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
(21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not;

We perish with the using of them and they do nothing to keep our mortal body alive in this earth. Yet many think that is a show of their own wisdom to others by keeping them....worshipping our own will.

(22) Which all are to perish with the using after the commandments and doctrines of men?
(23) Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

They limit the Holy One as His appearing life in our mortal flesh (Jesus IS COMING in the flesh) is not being preached in the churches of carnal men.

Psalms 78:41 KJV
(41) Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 5:21 KJV
(21) Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
