Wolves - The Kingdom Key of Sheep & Goats

Wolves - The Kingdom Key of Sheep & Goats

READ | Matthew 7:13-20

“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; therefore, be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves
(Matthew 10:16).”

Wolves are conniving and destructive. The wolf is that part of us that does not desire to heal, grow, change, develop, unfold, or forgive. The wolf way of being keeps us in guilt, shame, and condemnation and causes us to operate from a place of low self- esteem, poor self-image, and lack of self-worth. Other ways to describe the wolf state is the lower level of consciousness, operating from the subconscious phase of mind, or functioning as a lesser version of ourselves.

Different from goats who only harm themselves, wolves devour the sheep and destroy the sheepfold. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, out of hurt, pain or fear, we all have adversely impacted ourselves and others through addictive patterns, feelings of bitterness, or acts of jealousy. The challenge is for us to recognize it and to correct it with the light of God’s love. The I AM of our being empowers us to release and eradicate wolf motives and purify our hearts.

Jesus warned his disciples that they were going to have all types of life events. With each life event, they had a choice of what the experience was going to be like for them (John 10:10). It is not the event itself that causes us pain but how we choose to experience it. We can have a wolf experience and allow the event to steal our hopes, kill our dreams, and destroy our future. We also have a right to have a sheep experience and allow the event to be life-giving and bring us success and prosperity. It is completely up to us.

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...

  I AM a Good Tree and I Bring Forth Good Fruit (Matthew 12:3) I AM a good tree, and I bring forth good fruit. I was created that way. When God made everything, He spoke over the creation and said it was good. When He got to human beings, He said not only were we good, but we were very good. Affirm with me today: I AM a good tree because I was created that way. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says; I was created good. God said I was very good.   Good is the essence of who I AM. Because I AM a good tree, not only was I created that way, but I also continue in that way. My good is a continuation of how I was created. Because I AM a good tree and I was created that way, my way of being is good. The energy and aura that come from me that exudes from me are good because I AM a good tree. How I see people, places, and things is good because I AM a good tree. I can’t help but see the good in God and people because I was created that way, so I continue that way. My way of th...
