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.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God.

So God can get the...

There’s a Grace on Your Life

  There’s a Grace on Your Life "By grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."    Ephesians 2:8 (KSB)    In Ephesians chapter 2, one word stands out repeatedly: grace . But what is grace? Grace is God’s unmerited favor, His love poured out on us, not based on anything we've done or failed to do. It’s not about what we think or don’t think. It’s simply a gift. A beautiful, divine surprise.  Imagine receiving an unexpected bonus at work, you did your job, and suddenly you're given more than you earned. That’s grace. It comes when you least expect it and fills you with joy and wonder. This is how God extends His grace freely, abundantly, and lovingly.  Throughout Ephesians 2, Paul highlights how grace is woven into our salvation. “By grace you are saved” means you didn’t do it yourself. Salvation is the awakening in your spirit to the truth that  you are God's beloved .   ...
