The Pastors Feeding the Sheep of the Lord Jesus Christ With Knowledge and Understanding

Good evening ministers, pastors, collaborators, sisters and brothers present, all laborers in the Work of the Lord, in the Flock, the Fold of the Lord; and everyone working wholeheartedly in the Program of Christ, the Good Shepherd.

If He said that He is the Good Shepherd, then there are sheep and there are shepherds that He would put in His Fold.

Let’s see what the Scripture says, in Saint John chapter 10, verse 14 and on, it says… it seems that we need to start a little before that. Chapter 10, verse 9 and on, says:

“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly,” (meaning, Eternal Life).

“I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.”

“THE PASTORS FEEDING THE SHEEP OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WITH KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING.”

In Jeremiah chapter 3, it is prophesied that there would be a Fold, God would put pastors over His Fold. Chapter 3, verse 14 to 15 of Jeremiah, says:

“Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:

And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.”

We can see that it is prophesied that He would put pastors; and then we see, under the New Covenant, that God through Christ is the Good Shepherd, and He made people pastors, ministers, for the care of the Lord’s sheep.

Those are the same people to whom He also gave talents, to work in the Work of the Lord; and along with those ministers God has also given talents to the Lord’s sheep as well.

Notice, in the parable of the ten pounds, chapter 19 of Saint Luke, verse 11 and on, it says:

“And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.”

They thought that, since Jesus had come and they knew He was the Son of David, the Prince-King, the One who would sit on the Throne of David, they thought: “Now we are going to Jerusalem, that is the place where the throne is, and the Kingdom of God is going to start there;” They thought physically, but the spiritual comes first; because things which are seen were not made of things which do appear, they were made of the unseen. Hebrews chapter (what?) 11, verses 1 to 3.

And now, we find that everyone is waiting for the Messiah’s Kingdom to begin now when Jesus goes to Jerusalem. They didn’t know that the Work of Redemption, the sacrifice of atonement for sin, had to be carried out; and Jesus knew those things. John the Baptist knew something when he said: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world,” pointing to Jesus in Saint John chapter 1, verses 27 to 36 or 29 to 36.

[Luke 19:12] “He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.”

He is giving them a parable about what He is going to do. A nobleman, of nobility, a Prince, the heir to the Kingdom, had to leave, but He was going to leave people laboring in His Work.

He had to go to Heaven as High Priest, to make intercession and for Him to finish the intercession for all those who would enter into His Kingdom in the spiritual realm; then He would leave the Throne, appear there as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, King of kings and Lord of lords, to take the Title Deed of Eternal Life, where the names of all the sheep of the Lord are written; and to take It, to open that Title Deed in Heaven, which is the Seven-Sealed Book, of Revelation chapter 5, where it is in the right hand of God; He takes It, opens It in Heaven, and then comes in Revelation 10 with the little Book open to return that Title Deed to His Church.

He has to claim the Kingdom, He has to claim everyone He has redeemed; and everything He has redeemed with His Blood, He must claim it in order to then establish His Kingdom on Earth.

The Kingdom of Christ—which is the Kingdom of God—and His Coming, is not only a desire, it is a need; it is the greatest need that the human race has: the Coming of God’s Kingdom for the solution to the problems that the human race has; because the way the human race is going, it is heading for destruction, like those who lived in Noah’s time.

The First Coming of Christ was for salvation, for the Son of man has come to seek and to save (what?) that which was lost.¹ He said: “I have not come to condemn the world, but to save the world.”²

And now, the only hope there is for the human race is the Coming of the Lord, it is the fulfillment of that promise; where He will come with all the ones who received Him as Savior and were born in God’s Kingdom in the spiritual sphere, finished their days on Earth, went on to Paradise in soul and in spirit, and their body was buried; and they are waiting in Paradise, which is the sixth dimension, for the Coming of the Lord.

In other words, not only are we who are here on Earth waiting for the Coming of the Lord, in this earthly dimension, but also those who are in Paradise, they are waiting for the Coming of the Lord over there. Just like in Paradise, in the time of the First Coming of Christ, they were waiting there (in Paradise): Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the patriarchs, and all the believers of that dispensation and previous dispensations, who died being believers in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They waited for the Coming of the Lord there, for the resurrection.

When Christ passed through Paradise upon dying, first He passed through hell, which is the fifth dimension; there He took the keys of hell and death away from the devil; and that is why in Revelation chapter 1, verse 20 (18 to 20), He mentions there that He has the keys.

Let’s quickly… Chapter 1, verses 17 to 18, of Revelation says:

“And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead.”

What happens to John the Apostle when he sees Christ, had also happened to the Prophet Daniel when he saw the Angel Gabriel appearing to him.³ And anyone may think: “Were these people that weak?” If that experience were to happen to you, perhaps it might be worse for you. And the Lord’s words are, the experience is:

“And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me,” (and now He is going to identify Himself), “Fear not;” (see? Anyone would be scared. Anyone could even be frightened to death); “I am the first and the last:

I am he that liveth,” (therefore, Christ is not dead), “and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore,” (in other words, for all the coming centuries; and that means: eternally), “Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”

And if He has the keys, then He will do with His believers who died, the same thing He did with Lazarus: “Lazarus, come forth!⁴

Lazarus’ resurrection represents the resurrection of the dead in Christ that will take place at the Last Day, for He said: “And I will raise him up at the Last Day,” Saint John chapter 6, verses 39 to 40, and chapter 6, verses 41 to 58. In other words, it is a sure thing; it is a promise that He will fulfill at the relevant time; and that will be when the Church is completed and we are ready for our transformation.

Because there is also a promise for those who are alive at the Last Day and the Coming of the Lord is fulfilled with those who died: when they rise, those who are alive—believers in Christ—will be changed; and that will really be a big miracle.

So, when Christ completes His Church, leaves the Throne of Intercession, He will no longer be High Priest, rather, He begins the work of King, of Lion; and in that stage there will no longer be Blood on the Mercy Seat; from that point on, no more people will be added to the mystical Body of Christ, because the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will have been completed; but there will be mercy for many people who will be impacted by that great blessing that is coming, and will give their lives for Christ in the Great Tribulation.

All of that is tied to the Third Pull, which will be for the Bride, for the wise virgins, for the Church (meaning, the foolish virgins), and for the world.

In other words, what is in the Divine Program to be manifested from God at the Last Day, is a manifestation and a spiritual awakening that will impact the whole world.

At that time many things will happen too, and nature will be crying out with labor pains to give birth to a new world, a new environment; that is why the Earth will be, let’s say, recreated, it is now so weak, we have to add vitamins to it so that it can give us the crop that we need to eat.

With the volcanoes, which will launch volcanic ash, the planet Earth will be fertilized; and it will all be arranged, fixed, for the glorious Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. And those who have been tending to the Lord’s Fold will also be there.

When the Chief Shepherd, who is Christ, appears, He will reward all the ministers, all the pastors, all the people whom He has given them talents to work in His Fold, in His Church, His Flock; and all the sheep, He will also give them great blessings; because each minister with his congregation works in the Work of the Lord, and he and the congregation will be rewarded in the Kingdom of the Lord.

Therefore, each minister, just as it applies to God’s instrument for each age, the matter of the faithful and wise servant also applies to each minister.⁵

Therefore, being faithful and wise servants to Christ, we know that a great blessing will come from Him, and He will tell us: “Enter into the joy of your Lord, enter into the Kingdom of the Lord,” and we will enter into the Kingdom of the Lord.

Physically we will go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in a new body, a glorified body, because we cannot go in these bodies, there is no means of transportation to take us. If we go to the airport and ask them to take us to where Jesus Christ is now High Priest, they will tell us that we are crazy; but when we have the new body, the glorified body, there will be no problem; it will be a matter of passing from this dimension to another dimension. And Christ knows how He will do it.

And just like parents, when building or expanding the house, tell their children: “Move away, so that the dust doesn’t bother you or you don’t get hurt.” When the planet Earth is being or will be renewed, with the volcanoes, tidal waves… tidal waves to give it a little wash, and the volcanoes to put the Earth’s crust back in the right place, so that it can produce a lot of fruit for the Millennium, He will tell us:

“Children, you have to leave Earth now. There will be a lot of volcanic dust in the reconstruction of the Earth, and that causes allergies; so, you would be sneezing and very scared; and with so much water from tidal waves, from tsunamis, and with earthquakes and everything, you would be very frightened here. I have a Supper for you in My Father’s House.”

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb, the Supper of the union between Christ and His Church. And… we will spend about three and a half years there, and then we will come to Earth for the honeymoon, which will last a thousand years. Everything is all prepared by God already, in other words, it is prepared in the Divine Program; and it will materialize according to how it is prepared, because He has the power to design and to carry out what He designed, to materialize it.

So, with so many promises of blessings there are for the believers in Christ, it makes our love for Christ greater every day. Christ has so many things for us! And what do we have for Christ? Well, we always try to give more of what we have here, and whatever we can do with our hands, according to our mental, physical, financial capability, in all ways; because the Scripture says that we give to God from what He has given us.⁶

So, we cannot glory in that we give something to God, see? Rather, from what He has given us, we give to God, we put it to work in God’s Work. He gives to us so that we may work in His Work, that is the parable of the talents and the pounds; in order for us to labor in His Work, He gave out the talents, in the parable of Saint Matthew;⁷ and in the parable of Saint Luke He gave out the pounds.

So, we all have the greatest privilege: to work with the most important person, not only on Earth but also in Heaven: the One who has a Name which is above every name.⁸

That is why Saint Paul says that we are laborers together with God,⁹ in other words, we work with God in the Program that God has.

Therefore, ministers and collaborators, and brothers and sisters present: May the blessings of Christ be upon you in the Fold of the Lord, which is where He pours out His blessings, which reach all the way to our soul.

And each person reaps blessings according to the faith he has; he believes them and they are materialized. Don’t worry about how they will be possible, that is up to God, how to make them a reality; it is up to us to hear them and believe them. That is how the Divine Program works, that is how the Work of Redemption works, that is how salvation works for each person.

[Mark 16:15-16] “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

He that believeth (see?) and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”

See how it is a matter of listening to the preaching of the Word, of the Gospel of Christ? And the person’s part, after listening, is: to believe or not believe; that is why he has the sense of free moral agency: to believe or not believe; and that is why only one sense was given to the soul, to not make things complicated: only the sense of free moral agency to believe or not believe; that is what one can do with the soul or in the soul: believe or not believe; because “with the heart man believes (unto what?) unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”¹⁰

Therefore, onward, pastors, feeding the Lord’s sheep with the Word pertaining to our time, and always being faithful to Christ. He is faithful to His Word, to what He promised, and to fulfill what He did, make it a reality in each person’s life.

And may God bless you and use you greatly in His Work at this end time, following God’s Program for our time.

I will leave Rev. José Benjamín Pérez with us again to conclude our participation already; and tomorrow… He is like Miguel now, waiting for dessert; today there is no dessert. So, tomorrow we will continue in the relevant place.

There is no service tomorrow, is there? [Yes] Ah, but it was moved up to today, wasn’t it?

So, may God bless you all greatly, and we will continue to see each other tomorrow, and always, eternally!
