Therefore, shepherds, listen to the Message of God: As sure as I am the living God—Decree of God, the Master—because My sheep have been turned into mere prey, into easy meals for wolves because you shepherds ignored them and only fed yourselves, listen to what God has to say:
Watch out! I’m coming down on the shepherds and taking My sheep back. They’re fired as shepherds of My sheep. No more shepherds who just feed themselves! I’ll rescue My sheep from their greed. They’re not going to feed off My sheep any longer!
God, the Master, says: From now on, I Myself am the shepherd. I’m going looking for them. As shepherds go after their flocks when they get scattered, I’m going after My sheep. I’ll rescue them from all the places they’ve been scattered to in the storms. Ezekiel 34: 7-12 MSG
This is the heart of the Father to those that love Him and are currently without a ‘flock’ and those who are in a flock where the “shepherd” is only feeding off them for money, power, and influence. Do you really want to be under the scrutiny of the Father on how you have treated His sheep? Why have you taken that position? Is it really by His calling? Or is it by your own desire for many other reasons? Do you not realize that His sheep are very precious in His sight? Do you not know that He sees your heart towards His sheep and will judge you accordingly? You may be able to deceive yourself but you cannot deceive God. Many shepherds have listened and agreed with the words and schemes of wolves and allowed them to prey on their flock so that the shepherds could get fatter. In doing so – you shepherds have closed off your ears to the messages from the Holy Spirit and now only speak empty messages that are to keep the sheep asleep from words of the Holy Spirit. Some of you literally have become an enemy to the Holy Spirit and denounce Him in front of your flock. Woe to those who fight against the Holy Spirit.
Judge rightly and honestly, and search your heart. Are you just a hireling? Are you a ‘shepherd’ of the Lord’s sheep just for the money? If the money was gone – would you still be there?
Repent now. Seek Him with all you have that He might stay His hand over you life. The time is close at hand.
