Sheep Without A Shepherd

A sheep without a shepherd is forsaken and forlorn
Trembling and abandoned their fleece matted and unshorn
Seeking a place of safety as they search to no avail
Wandering helpless all alone they cry with plaintive wail.

Wolves take notice of their plight a victim they do see
Easy picking are the stricken as they bend on wounded knee
Surrounding their helpless victim they will wait till weakness shows
A break in resolve to endure the strike and fend off mortal blows.

Pressed on they show no mercy flank and hoof they rip apart
So rapacious are the wolves to eat they eat the beating heart
Is anything more pitiable as the helpless are destroyed
By those who feed themselves to live and render life a void.

Jehovah gives us shepherds now to shepherd all the flock
To treat the sheep with tenderness and not his trust to mock
He tells them with their very lives protect my trusting sheep
Who look to them for guidance just because his sheep are meek.

The Bible says the shepherds fail to honor Jah's request
To treat the flock with tenderness by shepherding and rest
How Jehovah and His son are grieved by promise failed
To see their sheep so skinned and fleeced tormented and impaled.

Jehovah's sense of justice does demand them to account
For their great lack of loyalty to standards which they flaunt
In all their blind corruption as they think Jah does not see
They will themselves bear the full brunt of their own travesty.

Woe to the shepherds scattering reproaching Jah's great name
For they themselves are so exposed their own name they defame
Are all the shepherds blameless when Christ Jesus does inspect
The scriptures say that they are not to their own detriment.

Take heart you scattered wounded sheep Jehovah knows his own
He sees your plight and suffering and brings you safely home
Christ Jesus is his warrior and he leads The Warrior's call
Re-gather all my missing sheep and feed them one and all.

Steadfast-

Thank you for sharing your poem with us. It certainly reflects Jehovah's view of the abuses endured by some of the sheep. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Nice Poem, and it reminded me of this:

Psa 91:1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall rest under the shadow of the Almighty.


The word for ‘dwell’ in Hebrew means ‘to settle down, to abide, to marry’. Only those who are married to the Bridegroom are safe. Only those who live permanently in the secret place are protected, for they are one. We must urgently position ourselves in the secret place (fully given our complete heart to) once and for all so that we may be protected from the storm which is even now beginning to beat upon the seas of humanity. We must heed the voice of the Holy Spirit which is calling us to come away for our own protection. Come up to a higher place, Mount Zion, a place of being seated in heavenly places in Christ and not under the control of men. Enter into rest where we cease from our fleshly labors. Why should we still be caught up in a counterfeit where one is slaving for a system of religious works, increasingly under the control of demonic influences? Do not look back, like Lot’s wife. You are being led out of the mindset of religion for your own safety. (please read John 10 entire chap)

Luk 12:51 Do you suppose that I have come to give peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division. Luk 12:52 For from now on, there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. Luk 12:53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. You will be hated because of following Jesus. But he said, No One can snatch his sheep who listen to his voice out from his Father's hand. No, they will listen and choose to hear his voice calling his bride. (john 10 all)

When this demarcation line is lit, there is no longer an opportunity for those in the sea of mankind to flee to the mountain. This is the time of separation by the Sword of the Spirit. It will be clear who is of Christ and who is not. There is extreme urgency to choose where to be found – in Christ or in the systems of the worldly churches, at this time. Time is running out. He sets before us life and death. We must choose life so that we and our children may live. As the chaos begins to erupt multitudes will flee to mount Zion and the safety of being hidden in Christ and seated in heavenly places.

However, this work of fire is not only evident upon the sea of humanity. Christ lights a fire behind those upon mount Zion – His glory becomes their rear guard . Just as the pillar of fire and the cloud removed and positioned behind the people of Israel at the edge of the Red sea, so too will the glory of God be a defense, separating us from our enemies as we hide in Christ on Mount Zion, in our hearts.

There are many people preparing to flee the slave quarters of the Babylonian religious system and they will be led out by the Bridegroom and brought to safety in another province. The name of this province is ‘Natal’ which means ‘birth’.

Isa 66:8 Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. Isa 66:9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? says thy God.

The separation which is upon us is from the womb of the church system. We are being birthed into a new place and separation from the placenta of the religious system (which has provided nourishment up to this point) is vital. We must flee to a higher place and personally breathe the air of mount Zion. This is not to say that every person must leave their place of fellowship. However, the allegiance to a system which enslaves people for the good of an organization rather than allegiance to Christ, Who is the Head of the Body, is the issue on the table. We must each be led of the Spirit in our personal decisions in these final days.

Joel. 2: 30-32
"And I will give portents in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. The sun itself will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the fear- inspiring day of Jehovah . And it must occur that (everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will get away safe, for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem (all who circumcised their hearts are Jews) there will prove to be the escaped ones, just as Jehovah has said, and in among the survivors, whom Jehovah is calling."
it is time for the Bride to flee this earthly spiritual home and to begin to dwell on mount Zion. This is our only safety. Come away from earthly systems of control and become one with Christ.
