Joh 10:11 I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. Joh 10:12 But he who is a hireling and not the shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away. And the wolf catches them and scatters the sheep. Joh 10:13 The hireling flees, because he is a hireling and does not care for the sheep. Joh 10:14 I am the Good Shepherd, and I know those that are Mine, and I am known by those who are Mine. We live in a world where there is a lot on confusion caused by the enemy in his attempt to keep people out of the kingdom. Many people coming up with their own roads to God or as the new agers say “ You are your own god” The gospel is a simple message but man in his pomp and arrogance has tried to complicate it, trying to intellectualise it with their philosophical theories. Wolves have come in and lead many astray. The main reason why people get tricked is, they trade love for charisma. Anybody can stand before you and sound good, but it is not about the nice words and how they can inspire you, it is about the underlining motive, which should be love. Once you truly know God, you know Love and God is Love : 1Jn 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. The danger behind trying to complicate the gospel is it rules out the majority of people from being able to follow and understand it and this is not what Jesus came to do and it is not what the disciples did: 1Co 2:1 And I, brothers, when I came to you, did not come with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God. 1Co 2:2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 1Co 2:3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear, and in much trembling. 1Co 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 1Co 2:5 so that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 1Co 2:6 But, we speak wisdom among those who are perfect; yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, that come to nothing. If we would just truly submit our lives to God, resist the devil and all he offers, he will have to flee, the scriptures say. However that submission is a choice on our part. When we know the way, we would be mad to come of the path, no matter how enticing an alternative route looks. People are always looking for short cuts, which eventually get them even more lost, moving them further and further away from the shepherds voice. Once that wolf gets you to move far enough away from the shepherd, that is when he devours you. Love is the key and when listening or following anyone, you should judge them against God’s standard of love and allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you and give you discernment about the motive of that person: 1Jn 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but try the spirits to see if they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1Jn 4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God; 1Jn 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the antichrist you heard is coming, and even now is already in the world. Parallel Principles In this business you are going to come across many different types of people, some good and some bad. You will come across people that will not want to do things the Reliv way because their way is better and will get quicker results. People who will tell you, “You don’t want to be doing Reliv because you can make more money doing X,Y,Z” There are always going to be wolves in sheep’s clothing, whose only motive is to lead you astray for the simple reason to make money off the back of you. People will talk to you about competing products and different theories of wellness, but this is when your wall of belief has to be strong enough to resist that message. The way you do that is by saturating yourself with the stories, the reality of what has happened to real people. You need to be strong and have the right posture when people come to you with these messages. If you do not know what to stand for, you will fall for anything! The Reliv system is in place for long term success not short term fix, so once you understand to path, stay on it! ******************************************************************* Jason Gregory Mentor to people in their health and finances www.visionarys.ws ********************************************************************
