The Shepherd’s Crook: God’s Gentle Guidance, Rescue, and Loving Care for His People Pt 5

In many ways, Father Almighty has a way to gently guide us, listening, be able to hear, gain knowledge, and grow in that wisdom that can only be given by Him. A wonder, marvel at yourself with absolutely everything He does. It is through that wonder that He catches us, guides, and protects us. It is that special surveillance, through a deeply personal presence, that protects and sustains His people in every season of our life.

It is interesting how He places many words in front of us, and today it was several words. However, I will place throughout this writing those revealed…the first one is “watchtower”, which means a high structure used by sentinels to spot danger, or even used by farmers to protect their crops. Throughout the span of history, humanity has stood upon its watchtowers—looking beyond the immediate horizon, discerning what is approaching, and carrying the responsibility to warn, protect, and preserve what has been entrusted to its care. The sentinel on the city wall watches for an advancing enemy; the watchtower in the vineyard protects the harvest. The watchman does not merely look. The watchman sees, understands the danger, and warns those who may be affected. To watch, therefore, is to accept responsibility for what one has been given to see or even listen. We all dream of justice, fairness, and righteousness. The watchman cannot control the winds, the armies, or the changing currents of history. Neither can a navigator command the ocean. The navigator reads the stars, winds, currents, and reefs, understanding that wisdom begins with recognizing one’s limitations. Yet limitation does not remove responsibility. It makes discernment more necessary.

Glory be to the Father, Glory be to His Son Jesus Christ, and Glory be to the Holy Spirit. Glory be to the Highest in Heaven in this day of Mercy, says the Lord of the Heights. You see my children, I am here. I am telling you for quite some time, but some have taken the time to be able to see and hear, says Jesus Christ in this day of grace, grace upon grace. There is so much to come in spiritual growth, faith, knowledge, temperance, patience, goodness, love, abundance, and to be able to establish a personal testimony. It is this time I come to remind you, yes, you, you have been chosen for newer and brighter purposes. For doors will open wide to accomplish what has been placed on your plate.

You were called, you were called specially that day when you did not feel so well, and this was many years ago, and you were notified just in the same way you receive those texts on your phone. It is time. We are living at this moment the promised time, and you have not realized it yet. Many are anxious and worry about this happening and that happening. Oh Lord, what is happening, says Jesus Christ in this day of grace upon grace. I have provided the intelligence, the ability, the experience. I have given you the personality and determination to go beyond man’s ability to reason, for reasoning and understanding do not match my knowledge and wisdom of every step that I have provided to you.

Today, I have selected several called upon on them, for their characters and their ability to be obedient, to be able to pray and place all that they do in my hands. It in those who know that I am with them, as they move by faith and not by sight says the Lord. For you my son, yes you who thinks what happened, where has it all gone, it is not only one that has been tested, no my son I am watching everybody, I watching and listening to your prayers, those that come profoundly from your heart. I have not left but it is in the middle of the storm that you realize who prays for those who are battling and raise your hands to be who you are a guardian earthly angel. I have provided you with so much living water, I have provided you with enough mana to expand and disperse, to motivate, to lift and rise and make it fly. Glory be to the Father Glory be Highest in Heaven, Glory be to Jesus Christ and Glory be to the Holy Spirit there is grace upon grace, there is thunder roaring from heaven and rain to provide the water that this world needs says the Lord of the Heights. Do you remeber the time where you first read and did not understand and you thought this not real? Have I not proven to you wrong? Have I not shown in all this time that I am present? There is a time of doing what is right, there is a time to conform to obedience, there is a time to cry and a time to laugh, a time for all to take place, there is a point where there unlimited toughness and a time to set a limit, a time to moral virtue in place. A time to tumble and a time to rebuild, a time to break a stone into pieces and let you see that the hardest of stone I can build once again and again. Rejoice children of mine, there is a time for evething in this place that you call home.

You have asked me, yes you, you mentioned but cant it be as before says the Lord of the Heights and i say to you, pray, pray and pray child of mine, may your prayer be lifted so action may take place, the essence of discipline and obedience, to be in harmony, yes, yes harmony is not more beautiful in this world where it is invaded with hate, anger, betrayal and so many more spirits whereas you feel how blessed you are, more blessed to give than to receive. The why, well child of mine, do you not feel proud of the soul that returns to prayer, do you not feel proud on how they have managed to walk the path that they are tested, where they have been measured and judged, named in lies, placed as if it was meat on the grill. Being subjected to everything that not real or a reality and today you are proud, as a father to a child that says there is courage under fire. There is no abscence in abuse, but the ability to surpass and accept, abolish and add but also there is something bigger and greater that absolutely not one person can overcome and that is being my son or my daughter, because I am protecting my children and the fourth one in the firem, glory be to the Highest in Heaven. Inherited, spared, kept and preserved, abounding in love, annointed by Me, your Father Almighty. As you see says the Lord, as lesson for this day, it is not you as flesh and blood, it has been Me, your Father Almighty who has chosen you, who has uplifted, who has given you a special meal, mana in addition to your own confirmation because I am here for you as for many, as for many nations says the Lord of the Heights.

It has been a time to measure and to judge, it has been a time for mocking, treating with scorn, ridiculing, scoffing and yet the moderation has taken place, exhortations have taken place to be able to listen and understand the admonition. I come seeking pureness, the white, yes yes the white where my house has been corrupted, where it has been rattled and shaken, enough says the Lord of the Heights. Money changers, bankers sitting in temple exchanging foreign coins in local currency, temples that has been used for other activities that are dark instead of respecting my home says the Lord of the Heights, where there are well deserved rights that have expression of “good” repression of evil says the Lord of the Heights in this day of Mercy. “The Expression of Good and the Restraint of Evil.-There are rights that are rightly and justly deserved because they arise from the dignity of human life—the right to be treated with fairness, to speak truthfully, to live without unjust violence or oppression, to exercise conscience, and to seek what is good without being deprived of the dignity” I have “bestowed upon every human being. It creates room for the expression of good while establishing boundaries against actions that unjustly injure others. Justice therefore carries a twofold responsibility: to protect what is good and to restrain what is evil. The expression of good allows truth, compassion, mercy, creativity, service, faithfulness, and human dignity to flourish. The restraint of evil seeks to prevent violence, exploitation, corruption, deception, cruelty, and the misuse of power from overwhelming what should be protected. This is why justice requires discernment, proportion, accountability, and moral restraint.” My word “expresses a similar principle when Paul writes of governing authority as being intended for the good and as bearing responsibility against wrongdoing (Romans 13:1–4). Likewise, Isaiah declares:
“Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.” — Isaiah 1:17, KJV. Notice the balance: learn to do good and seek justice. Biblical justice is not merely opposition to evil; it is the active cultivation and protection of good. This brings us back to the watchman. The watchman does not stand upon the wall because everything beyond it is evil. He stands there because something valuable exists within the walls and has been entrusted to his care. His purpose is ultimately preservation. The warning, the boundary, and the defense exist because life, community, dignity, and peace are worth protecting.The same principle applies to the shepherd. The shepherd’s staff can guide the sheep gently, but it can also defend them against danger. Guidance and protection come from the same loving responsibility.
So it is with God’s care for His people. His boundaries are not merely prohibitions; they reveal what He desires to preserve. His correction is not separated from His love. His justice confronts what destroys precisely because He values what is being destroyed.
Therefore: Good must have room to flourish. Evil must not be permitted to devour what is good. Justice is not simply the punishment of evil. It is the creation and preservation of conditions in which goodness can live, truth can be spoken, dignity can be protected, the vulnerable can be defended, wrongdoing can be restrained, and peace can take root. For the highest purpose of justice is not repression. It is restoration of right order. And right order does not ask only, What must be stopped? The watchman cannot control the winds, the armies, or the changing currents of history. Neither can a navigator command the ocean. The navigator reads the stars, winds, currents, and reefs, understanding that wisdom begins with recognizing one’s limitations. Yet limitation does not remove responsibility. It makes discernment more necessary.” “And the earth was filled with violence.” — Genesis 6:11.

Do you not see, you are My fields “1 Corinthians 3:9 states: “For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.” Psalm 43:3 NIV 3 Send me your light and your faithful care,let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell. This for those who trust Me, for their families and generations. It is how you approach, appropiate, you are my archer, the architect, My builder, who is covered by my breast piece covers you and your generations and this so you may know, worthy of everything that i have given you to carry says the Lord of the Heights in this day of grace. You have reached the depth of the depths and in delight you have been destined. Oh my nations, oh my nations have been scattered in these wars and seized to see that you are the milk and honey. Foreknowledged has been givenand prophesies have been fulfilled, but it is genuineness “ As far as we are concerned we do not wish to stand in anyone’s way, nor do we wish to bring discredit on the ministry God has given us. Indeed we want to prove ourselves genuine ministers of God whatever we have to go through—patient endurance of troubles or even disasters, being flogged or imprisoned; being mobbed, having to work like slaves, having to go without food or sleep. All this we want to meet with sincerity, with insight and patience; by sheer kindness and the Holy Spirit; with genuine love, speaking the plain truth, and living by the power of God. Our sole defence, our only weapon, is a life of integrity, whether we meet honour or dishonour, praise or blame. Called “impostors” we must be true, called “nobodies” we must be in the public eye. Never far from death, yet here we are alive, always “going through it” yet never “going under”. We know sorrow, yet our joy is inextinguishable. We have “nothing to bless ourselves with” yet we bless many others with true riches. We are penniless, and yet in reality we have everything worth having.”2 Corinthians 6:7-10 J.B. Phillips New Testament

You have been given and at the same time you are the giver and in divine providence, seek the truth and act with integrity, with patience and endurance, with a prevailing sentiment ,we may complain about it and not like it. Today, it about many issues foreign policy, monetary standards, political disputes, naval vessels,even the econmic boom prevailing through. Yet, it is about the defender of the weak, humble service, about divinity being challenged, contamination, about grace and mercy, about farmers who want and are ready to sow, about faith, peace, tidings , emotional hearers, world care, indifference, election, spiritual liberty, freedom from the bondage of the law and many but many more says the Lord of the Heights. “ The Parable of the Sower”
“The Sower scatters the seed with an open hand, offering the Word generously to every heart. Yet the harvest depends upon the soil that receives it. Some seed falls upon hardened ground and never takes root. Some springs quickly among the stones but withers when adversity comes. Some grows among thorns, only to be crowded by the cares and distractions of life. But some falls upon good soil—a heart willing to receive, endure, and grow—and there the seed becomes a harvest. There is a quiet beauty in this parable: the seed carries within itself the promise of something greater than what the eye can see. A small word of truth, an act of kindness, a courageous stand for justice, or a seed of faith may seem insignificant today, yet God alone knows what it may become tomorrow. We are not masters of the harvest. We are sowers and stewards. We prepare the ground, remove the thorns, protect what is tender, and faithfully plant what is good”

Keys have been provided to different nations says Jesus Christ in this day of much grace, a symbol of authority, and in kindness trying to lift oppression, yes, yes that, that what you specifically do not want to see, the harsh, the rigoroud, the imposition of power of the forbidden, the lack of freedom which rides. It is a force for good, a world affair, a dream of justice that comes to pass, that takes any individuals breath away, a precept in lighting the way, to be astonished in beauty, shocked in witnessing somthing extraordinary that brings goodness to this place you call home says the Lord of the Heights. “A force for good not evil for constructive and destructive ends”as your President said Lyndon B Johnson. For you holders of the key, heart is the center of life, and should be carefully guarded, it determines character to make decisions, a source of faith for the greater good.

There is a duty for the weak, spiritual action and reaction. To the elder of the flock, be commited, there is a will to fulfill, you are my keeper in faithfulness and there is a duty in feeding the flock, witnesses and sharers of this eternal glory. You are my spiritual watchmenin willingness, humility, be the example that will create a ripple effect with every other, where believers will be exalted and immovable, my grace will be present and peace invoked. Today is a day of preparation, for every nation is this message, pray for natural disasters, floodings, and inclusive for what was before will be different, for what was fore-given before will become given to term. The brevity of life by subordinating earthly duties by consistent examples before the world. This does not constrain nor limit, but establishes and sets the horizon, marking out a foreordained pathway—not to confine His people, but to give direction, purpose, and a place within which His purposes can unfold, meant for the good that no evil can prevail. 2 Samuel 2:12 “12 Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do what is good in His sight.” For Civil liberty which in your human words means— “the fundamental freedoms and protections individuals have within a society, such as freedom of speech, conscience, religion, assembly, and due process. And not civil strife — serious conflict, division, or hostility within a society or among its people, sometimes leading to unrest or violence.” In temperance.

Psalm 90:12NIV
12 Teach us to number our days,that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

1 Peter 5:1-11 NIV To the Elders and the Flock “To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: 2 Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; 3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glorythat will never fade away. 5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”[a]6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

Psalm 33:12-22 ESV

12 
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
    the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!
13 
The Lord looks down from heaven;
    he sees all the children of man;
14 
from where he sits enthroned he looks out
    on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 
he who fashions the hearts of them all
    and observes all their deeds.
16 
The king is not saved by his great army;
    a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
17 
The war horse is a false hope for salvation,
    and by its great might it cannot rescue.
18 
Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
    on those who hope in his steadfast love,
19 
that he may deliver their soul from death
    and keep them alive in famine.
20 
Our soul waits for the Lord;
    he is our help and our shield.
21 
For our heart is glad in him,
    because we trust in his holy name.
22 
Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
    even as we hope in you.

Revelation 7-8New International Version

144,000 Sealed

7 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. ² Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: ³ “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” ⁴ Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.

The Great Multitude in White Robes

⁹ After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. ¹⁰ And they cried out in a loud voice:

“Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb.”

¹¹ All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures.They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, ¹² saying:

“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”

¹³ Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”

¹⁴ I answered, “Sir, you know.”

And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robesand made them white in the blood of the Lamb.¹⁵ Therefore,

“they are before the throne of God
    and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne
    will shelter them with his presence.
¹⁶ ‘Never again will they hunger;
    never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat down on them,’^[a]
    nor any scorching heat.
¹⁷ For the Lamb at the center of the throne
    will be their shepherd;
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’^[b]
    ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’^[c]”

Jeremiah 4:16-20 NIV

16 
“Tell this to the nations,
    proclaim concerning Jerusalem:
‘A besieging army is coming from a distant land,
    raising a war cry against the cities of Judah.
17 
They surround her like men guarding a field,
    because she has rebelled against me,’”
declares the Lord.
18 
“Your own conduct and actions
    have brought this on you.
This is your punishment.
    How bitter it is!
    How it pierces to the heart!”
19 
Oh, my anguish, my anguish!
    I writhe in pain.
Oh, the agony of my heart!
    My heart pounds within me,
    I cannot keep silent.
For I have heard the sound of the trumpet;
    I have heard the battle cry.
20 
Disaster follows disaster;
    the whole land lies in ruins.
In an instant my tents are destroyed,
    my shelter in a moment.

Deuteronomy 12:4–14

4 You must not worship the Lord your God in their way. 5 But you are to seek the place the Lord your God will choose from among all your tribes to put his Name there for his dwelling. To that place you must go;6 there bring your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, what you have vowed to give and your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks. 7 There, in the presence of the Lordyour God, you and your families shall eat and shall rejoice in everything you have put your hand to, because the Lord your God has blessed you.
8 You are not to do as we do here today, everyone doing as they see fit,9 since you have not yet reached the resting place and the inheritancethe Lord your God is giving you. 10 But you will cross the Jordan and settle in the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, and he will give you rest from all your enemies around you so that you will live in safety. 11 Then to the place the Lord your God will choose as a dwelling for his Name—there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, and all the choice possessions you have vowed to the Lord. 12 And there rejoice before the Lord your God—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites from your towns who have no allotment or inheritance of their own. 13 Be careful not to sacrifice your burnt offerings anywhere you please. 14 Offer them only at the place the Lord will choose in one of your tribes, and there observe everything I command you.

Proverbs 18:16 NIV

Luke 11:9 NIV

9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Spiritual Fullness in Christ
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces[a] of this world rather than on Christ.
9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority. 11 In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh[b] was put off when you were circumcised by[c] Christ,12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

1 Corinthians 3:9 NIV

9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

Acts 20:34-36 NIV

34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions. 35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
36 When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.

Deuteronomy 6:6-7 NIV

6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
