The Variety in The Flock of God (3.10.12)

“Variety in the flock of God is endemic within the ways of man,

                                              is endemic in witnessing the clash of cultures,

                                              is endemic in witnessing the many differing belief structures evident among My sheep.

Variety in the flock of God is not due cause for introspection by My flock,

                                            is not due cause for separation,

                                            is not due cause for bringing before a church court of elders,

                                            is not due cause for lashing out at others deemed in ignorance,

                                            is not due cause for vilification arising from non-conformity,

                                            is not due cause for removal of disunity,

                                            is not due cause for the purging of the resolute,

                                                                       for the purging of the minor faith built structures,

                                                                       for the purging of the offspring of history,

                                                                       for the purging of the sects,

                                                                       for the purging of the schisms,

                                                                       for the purging of the faith lines of localities at distance,

                                                                       for the purging of the conservatives with no desire to change,

                                                                       for the purging of the liberals who query all before them.

Variety in the flock of God is not exclusive of My Spirit’s gifts,

                                            is not inclusive of My Spirit’s gifts,

                                            is not dependent for acceptance on policing by the self-assured,

                                                                                                                   by the self-contained,

                                                                                                                   by the self-centred,

                                                                                                                   by the self-appointed,

                                                                                                                   by the self-proclaiming,

                                                                                                                   by the self-righteous:

                                                         each of whom would declare the standard for acceptance by My bride at large,

                                                         each of whom would stand on the chosen points of difference,

                                                         each of whom would foster rebellion in the ultimate rejection,

                                                         each of whom would only know the truth in selected parts,

                                                         each of whom study at the fringe in declaring their solutions to the mysteries of God.

For such as these would control the freewill of man,

                                                      thereby destroying love in action.

For such as these have lost sight of the honouring of the freewill of man;

                            have lost sight of the respecting of the freewill of man.

For such as these should realize the freewill of man still remains existent and undiminished on each pathway of discipleship.

For such as these have no authority to control the walk of others – 

                                                           as the plank they cannot see abides,

                                                                     balancing precariously,

                                                           within the partially shuttered eyes of prejudice.

For such as these put their plight at risk if claiming the word of God encompasses –

                                                                                                                        what God has never said,

                                                                                                                        what God has never written,

                                                                                                                        what God has never scribed:

                                             as they would so adjust their declarations of the intent of God to that residing outside the will of God.

For such as these have their own freewill honoured in hearts of honesty,

                                                                   honoured in hearts of sincerity,

                                                                   honoured in hearts of faith,

                                                                   honoured in hearts of testimony,

                                                                   honoured in hearts of blood upon a cross,

                                                                   honoured in hearts dependent on the grace of victory –

                                                                                                                      and the freeing of the freewill of man.

Variety in the flock of God is for the revolution of the turntable which turns the heart of man;

                                            is for the resolution of the turntable revolving around the mountain waiting for commitment,

                                            is for the resolution of the turntable revolving around the lake of purity,

                                            is for the resolution of the turntable revolving around the pinnacle of opinion:

                                                                                                                                           where the shouters are the loudest –

                                                                                                                                                   with lips the least informative.

Variety in the flock of God should revolve with freewill freedom around the centre of attention for the benefit of man.

Variety in the flock of God should all know the centre of grace,

                                            should all know the centre flowing grace,

                                            should all know the harbinger of grace.

Variety in the flock of God should all uphold faith filtering commitment to The Risen King,

                                            should all uphold the washing of the waters abjuring sin,

                                            should all uphold the windfall of My Spirit,

                                            should all uphold the bread and cup taken in remembrance,

                                            should all uphold the marriage vows bestowing unity on man with woman.

Variety in the flock of God is encouraging and acceptable,

                                            is sanctified and justified,

                                            is worshipful and righteous;

                                            is at the will of God,

                                            is at the scene of God,

                                            is at the seat of God,

                                            is at the reserving of God unto Himself.

Variety in the flock of God is not for My servants to attack in piety,

                                            is not for My people to murmur among themselves,

                                            is not for the saints of God to generate exclusions and to put into effect.

Variety in the flock of God is not for My church to squash into grading pens of like with like.

Variety in the flock of God is a welcome sign of health,

                                            is a welcome sign of individuality,

                                            is a welcome sign of the comeliness of My bride.

Variety in the flock of God is evidence of wisdom in My people’s treating of their fellow man.”
