Message: Bro. Randy Underwood - John 10:7-12, Acts 2:1. Jesus said that we are his children and that we can come and go and find green pastures. We should be grateful that God is as accessible as he is. Gods door is so accessible that we can turn any location we are located into a place of his presence. There are no hours of operation that prevents us from entering into his presence, his door is open at all times. Gods door is powerful enough that the green pastures are not just in his presence but they cane be outside his presence in our lives. Us refusing to go through the door and enjoying the green pastures is our fault alone. Whatever we do, we cant let anything prevent us from going through the door. The thief wants to prevent us from accessing the door and he comes to kill, still and destroy; there are no good intentions with the thief. This theif, the wolf, seeks to have us. We are his sheep and are vulnerable to the wolfs attacks. But Jesus, the sheppard, comes to our rescue and will lead us in places where the wolf cannot prosper. The wolf wants to scatter and destroy the sheep. But, there is strength within the fold and isolation is the point right before destruction. This is the ultimate trick of the wolf, to get you isolated. Feeling alone and isolated because of our situations and troubles is right where he wants us to be so he can easily attack. This is why we should not forsake the assembling of ourselves and constant seek the place where we are among Gods sheep. The devil tried to smite the sheppard when Jesus was crucified to scatter his sheep. For a time it did but the sheep realized that they needed to gather together so they gathered all in one place in the upper room. When they gathered they were strengthened and the Holy Ghost was poured out. Dont avoid the door and dont separate yourself from the fold or destruction will surely come.
