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!!!

Why You Find It Difficult to Recover Your Destiny

Have you ever felt like something precious was stolen from you—your purpose, your dreams, or even your sense of direction in life? Many people go through seasons where they feel lost, stuck, or unable to step into the future they desire. If you’ve been struggling to recover your destiny, there are often deeper reasons behind it. Let’s explore some spiritual and practical factors that might be making it hard for you to walk in your true calling, especially looking at the role of covenants and agreements. 1. Unresolved Spiritual Covenants and Agreements One major reason people struggle to recover their destiny is because of unseen spiritual agreements or covenants, knowingly or unknowingly entered into. These can include: Family covenants: Sometimes ancestors made pacts for protection, wealth, or power that now affect future generations. Personal agreements: Visiting spiritual practitioners, taking part in certain rituals, or even careless words (“I’ll never succeed”) can create spiritu...

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.

Understanding Destiny Swapping: A Hidden Agenda Over Your Purpose (PART 1)

Have you ever felt like something is off in your life—like you're living a life that doesn’t belong to you? You're talented, passionate, and full of dreams, yet doors remain closed and progress is mysteriously delayed.
