I always appreciate your beautifully simplistic, yet profound, Biblical essays, Pastor Irvine. Imagine that "sheep" are actually the most ignominious barnyard animals - very confused and easily led astray - rather interesting isn't it that our Beloved Creator God refers to us in this manner. I smile when I think about it - most people actually believe THEY are the 'masters of their lives'. We who have believed on the Good Shepherd know that to be a complete deception of the once most beautiful angel Yahweh ever created - despicable Lucifer!!
Hello Sharon, reading your comments always makes a beautiful evening for me! Thank you for the description of the essay. Yes we are easily led astray and as you say the worst thing is that we are led astray by Satan himself
I remind my loved ones there is a CONSTANT "unseen battle" going on all around the world between the minions of Lucifer and the ANGEL HOSTS of our MIGHTY JEHOVAH JIREH! Best to "hie thee to the Rock WHO IS HIGHER than we are"
Imagine being so filled up with Grace, that you are carrying that Shepherd inside your womb! So much so, that when you go to the Hill Country to visit Elisabeth, her baby John leaps for Joy. Just like King David did in the Hill Country in front of the first Ark of the Mosaic Covenant. As he sang and danced to the return of the Old Arc containing Manna, the Staff of Arron and Tablets of the 10 Commandments. Returning the Ark to Jerusalem.
There in front of Elizabeth, is the new Ark of the New covenant. Containing the Bread of Life, the Highest Priest-King prophet, and the consolidation of the 10 Commandments into 2. 1-3=Love God All in. 4-10=Love your neighbor as your self. In the New Jerusalem, the Kingdom that can never be ruled by Rebelling and Protesting against God (Lucifer). As Elizabeth is filled with the Holy Spirit to the point of exclaiming “Blessed are you among women, and Blessed is the fruit of thy womb.” Taking and delivering the Good Shepherd to the world in Bethlehem.
BTW rev Rob - I am going to send a contribution to your mission. I would like to ask if we can set up a trip to Uganda to support my friend in Uganda in the future? i need someone to go there and help them.
As the world continues to unwind and turn darker with lies, deception, greed, and all sorts of detestable evil, the Word and the light it brings into the world is more relevant than ever before.
And, as my own body continues to break down (right now in small ways!) I know, by His promises, a new, uncorruptible body awaits. Corrupt will be made incorruptible! Maranatha! Amen!
My favorite part about the Psalm is at first it resembles of David announcing to a crowd...then the tense changes like he turns and looks up and speaks directly to the Heavens

Thank you, Todd, for your contribution. How do you see this trip to Uganda coming about? What do you see being involved?
Thanks for sharing this. Wow a book and YouTube channel. I will check them out.
Hi there, I have not added any video recently
I do believe and it is my blessed hope!
As the world continues to unwind and turn darker with lies, deception, greed, and all sorts of detestable evil, the Word and the light it brings into the world is more relevant than ever before.
And, as my own body continues to break down (right now in small ways!) I know, by His promises, a new, uncorruptible body awaits. Corrupt will be made incorruptible! Maranatha! Amen!
Praise God for the hope we have in Christ.
Yes, when we are with Him we will have a new eternal body. Then, there will be no tears, no more suffering and no more death.
