While being prideful and arrogant is sinful, our walk, our speech, our very lives should roar in a world of timid, lustful, followers of the world. The only sheep I align myself with is in Jesus parable of the sheep and goats. I would like to live a quiet peaceful life, but I will set the light of God that is within me on a hill so that He will be glorified. That to me is being a Godly lion as opposed to a follower of the world(sheep).
I’m on a quest now to support something the Holy Spirit revealed to me in my prayer time today.
You were once a lamb who found salvation through the blood and now you are now My sons and daughters.
I brought you through so I could bring you to your new identity in Me.
I was the first born of MANY breathern.
All things have passed away and you are now a NEW CREATURE in Me.
Not a lamb but a joint heir. Born Again of spirit.
Where after the resurrection of Christ are we ever referred to as sheep again?
At what point do we become new creatures in Christ and old things pass away?
When do we become sons and joint heirs?
Is the Kingdom within us?
Were we really resurrected with Him and do we really spiritually sit with Him at the right hand?
Does the King of Kings now abide in a sheep or am I now the temple of the Holy Spirit?
Do we really live, move and have our being in Him or am I still a sheep following a shepherd?
If we don’t get our identity right we may get to heaven but we won’t make the change in the world as the image of Christ and the salt and light we’ve been called to be.
Come on, don't throw out the teachings of Jesus pre cross. Or what He calls us, because then you will lose out on Christ's identity. He sends us out as sheeps among wolfs, teaching us to depend fully on the shepherd as we go. If we now are to go out as sons among wolfs, then we depend on our own strength.
I hear what yure saying Danny but I think yure missing an aspect. Sometimes we Kingdom men need to practice the heart of a lion. Lions don’t always kill and maime. Sometimes they stand there with resolve and their presence conveys a message of protection. Many ideas/concepts are hijacked and abused for power or financial gain by the secular world. If anyone thinks I am going to turn my cheek while my family is being threatened, maligned or harmed, they are profusely mistaken. The violence of a Lion is not always the wisest decision, strategic retreat and/or verbal descalation can be wisest next move - even a Lion or Grizzly knows when to move to safety.
Well written article. 1 Peter 5:4, we should try to emulate our great Shepherd, not claim we are superior to our fellow man. You're not Lions just because you bought an overpriced t-shirt.
So true!
