“Some how we all get curious about what’s beyond the boundaries of the sheep gate so to speak..we get curious as to what we think we may be missing..Amen..what is there out there beyond the walls?..if only we could go and see?..if only we could taste a little and try it out?..Amen..if only we could come and go as we please?..for some and even myself included has felt this way..for somehow I think we get blinded by life..blinded by the enemy honestly..somehow we forget all that truly is out there beyond them walls of that sheep gate that keeps us protected and secure from the enemy and his evil schemes and plans to destroy us and take us out from the protection and love that we have with our Good Shepherd..John 10:11-18..Amen!”

“For you see the enemies plans for you and I are to kill, steal and to destroy us that’s what the bible says in the book of John..John 10:10-12..he desires nothing more that we do get curious to wander away from the sheepfold..from the protection of the Lord..Amen..he makes us think all of these great things that will happen or take place..he makes us think that everything in life is okay..that it isn’t wrong..that it isn’t gonna hurt nothing..go ahead..you can do whatever you want..the Lord loves you..Amen..you’re a good person..Amen..and on and on he the enemy of our very souls makes us believe these lies..for most part half of the truth is what’s being spoken..Amen..for he tells you half the truth while the other half he doesn’t tell..the consequences and the problems and all of the heartaches that come right along from doing the whatever you want to mentality..Amen!”

“Because when we wander away..and we begin to think we can do whatever, however and whenever we want..as well a lot begins to happen and take place..we begin to slip away from truth..we begin to compromise and compromise a lot in our lives..we begin to justify everything to what we think or feel it should be..all the while we disregard that still small voice of our Fathers..Amen..because we may feel a little discounted at first..but than we begin to get use to the discount..and than we over look what were doing..but the thing is this have you ever noticed that the enemy always wants you to go back to what you were?..to what you used to do?..to what you used to be?..Amen..you know before you started serving Jesus..and gave your heart and life to Him?…he always takes you back to those things..because he never gives you a new beginning..nothing good comes from the enemy..only what used to be..Amen..so this here is the whole thing about it all..the Lord has made us wiser than the enemy..Psalm 119:98..Amen!”

“And the Lord never takes us back to what we were..Amen..and the Lord is never going to change His mind on what He alone has spoken and said to you..Amen..if He told you before to let things go whatever those things were in your life..than by all means know that good and well He is not going to say now that you can pick them back up and begin carrying them with you again..see that is the enemy..for he comes with Oh, you’re mature now..Amen..you can do that..look at what you have done..don’t worry so much…enjoy your life..and on and on..am I not right?..come on guys we all have been there to be tempted from the evil one..even Jesus was tempted..but Jesus was smart enough to know that He was about His Fathers business..He had no time to mess around or play around in foolishness..and Praise the Lord He didn’t..Hallelujah..for where would we be..so recognize the enemy..for he is sly..but you are smart..and you are wise..don’t let him deceive you stepping into your life picking up things that you have already let go and put down and overcame and gave to the Lord..Amen!”

“For the Lord came to give us all a great life..but remember guys we as well all have free will to choose our lives..and anything it is that we desire to do..the Lord doesn’t stop us..He will speak to us..He will bring people in our pathways to speak to us..He will bring things to our remembrance..but He still makes us do nothing..we choose for ourselves..so my whole heart this morning is that we all are wise and that we stay about the Lords business..and we stay focused..and we stay within the sheep gate with the Good Shepherd..we don’t get distracted by the enemy..and believe his lies..but we hold fast to the Lord and His ways..and we know that with every decision we make it always effects us and our lives in which we live..so choose well..I do ask and pray..choose to move forward in your life..not backwards..Amen..don’t be deceived..and don’t miss anything that the Lord has for you and your life..Amen..for what a great life He has prepared for you and for me..so stay on that narrow road..don’t get caught up on that broad one..for nothing on that broad one is worth it..not ever..Matthew 7:13-14..Amen..for you see we all have done been there and done that..and so when the enemy comes remind him of that..and remind him that you have already been there to that place and that you are not going there again..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
