(Will you come through the DOOR (Yashuah) or try to climb in the window or some other means?)
Yashuah is waiting for all to come to YHWH, through Him. And He is constantly telling us, through His Word, that if we want to experience the good and righteous life, He has prepared for us, we must be hungry for the Word and thirsty for the Living Water that It contains.
It goes like this. The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want (for anything, be afraid of anyone or anything, be confident in all things, be loving to everyone and all things). And the scary (in a good way) part about this scripture is that the way to follow Yashuah is a done deal. All have been given when it comes to the Way, Truth and Life because He is it: our sins have been forgiven and salvation is waiting. All we must do is come correctly to YHWH, through the Shephard, Yashuah, which He provided for us. YAH sent His Son to stand in the balance, between Him and us so that we would be seen as the righteousness through Him. And then He sent His Helper (the Holy Spirit) for the guidance we need to maneuver through this world and become true followers. All we must do is lay aside all that we think we are, need or are responsible for and come.
It is especially important that we understand how we are to come to Him. We cannot come to Him any other way, only through the door that is opened unto Himself, the door of the sheep. Because if we try to enter any other way it is coming as a thief or robber; trying to steal our way into the fold. That is not allowed nor is it possible for anyone to do because YAH is all knowing and seeing. This leads us to the fact that we are to come through the Door (Yashuah) that has been opened for the purpose of saving us from sin and destruction.
When Yashuah call any of us to come, as His sheep we will know His voice (what is the righteous thing to do) and we will follow and obey Him and only Him. There will be others who call to us and want us to follow them but a true follower of the Shephard, only hear and adhere to His voice. We, as the true sheep of Yashuah, will move away from anyone that is teaching anything contrary to the Word.
Understand this, that if we want to know YHWH we must first go the Door called Christ (knock and it shall be opened) which leads to the abundance of the full measure of His love straight to eternity. We cannot come with closed ears because we must be able to hear the voice of Yashuah, calling from a distance like a whisper or right beside us like a French horn in the rushing wind. And when we hear and are saved, through Yashuah, wherever we go and whatever we put our hands to (righteously) we will be nourished in all ways.
So, the lesson for today is, don’t seek to try and find ways to come into YHWH’s fold as a thief (Satan who only comes to steal the goodness of YAH and kill the hearts mind and soul of Yashuah’s sheep but come through the Door (that is opened to those who hear and believe) so that you will have life and have it overflowing.
John 10:1-10
10 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” 6 Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
God’s got it no worry no fear.
