What does the bible say about the sheep and the goats?

The title of the message is: Are you the goat or the sheep?

Matt. 25:33

God used metaphorical or figurative language to describe sheep as righteous and goats as sinners. And God used a good example to refer to himself as a shepherd. I want you to know that God is your shepherd, and you have nothing to be afraid of. David was very prophetic in the book of Psalms. In 23:1, David recognized that he was the sheep, and God was the shepherd. The word "sheep" is mentioned a lot in the Bible because it is referring to us.

Jesus told Peter that if he loved him, he must take care of his sheep.

Sometimes the shepherd uses the staff or rod to gently and firmly pull the sheep back to the fold and keep the sheep moving in the right direction. When you are going astray, going out of lane, there are times when God uses a rod to put things in order when we choose the wrong direction, and the Bible refers to the rod or staff as the word of God (yahweh). The holy scriptures move us, direct us, guide us, and even correct us.

The Bible in the book of Proverbs tells us that God corrects those whom he loves. Remember, God doesn’t force anyone to make a choice, but he gives us choices.

Allow God to use his rod and staff to show you the way when you are going out of the way. Jesus, will leave the 99 sheep, to look for you. At this moment, he is calling you. He is calling you to change your ways and allow him to show you the right way... Those people who left you, let them go because God saw they were goats, and goats can not be one with sheep. I believe there was a time when you felt rejected and left behind. Sometimes it was God using his rod and staff to direct you. That rod can be painful, especially if it hits you rashly.

Allow the hitting because that’s the way which God is leading you. I believe a lot of you have been applying for jobs thinking you’ll get them, thinking it’s a green pasture. A place where you’ll find grass. Yes, you didn’t get it because God knows it’s not the right place for you.

You’ve been applying for jobs and haven’t gotten any. You have been in one relationship after another, thinking that you’ll get married, but you have gotten into the wrong relationship. And try again with him again, everything you failed to do. The Bible in the book of proverbs 3:5 "trust in the LORD with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know"

Shalom!!!

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...

Wait upon the LORD

Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
