Good Pasture

I am the Good Shepherd and I love you. 

I see how life’s circumstances have spooked you and caused you to lose focus on me. But I am in pursuit of you; I am concerned for you and committed to you. I am willing to leave the other 99 just for you, to bring you back to me so that you are safe.

Hear my voice as I call out to you, reassuring you that you are mine. 

Listen to my voice as I carry you home and back to safe pastures. As I carry you back, listen closely as I speak, and get to know my voice as I train you to recognise it. I desire that you value the relationship between us, this is so vital for your survival, for you cannot survive on your own.

Put your complete trust in Me. 

Learn to trust Me so that you will stay by my side and no longer wander off to the wrong pastures. 

I want you to have complete dependence upon Me and let Me be the one to lead you to the good pastures that l have already planned for you. Pastures that will nourish you so that you will have strength, knowledge, and wisdom for the long run.

Activation: Sit with Jesus and let Jesus show you how and when you have been wandering into the wrong pastures without a Shepherd. Once he shows you this, repent and break off anything that has caused the wandering off into wrong pastures. Declare submission to the Holy Spirit and ask the Lord to lead you into His good pasture so that you are secured and fed the right food.

Matthew 18:12 (NLT)

If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?

Isaiah 41:10 (NLT)

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
