The Shepherd's Fold Apostolic Church

Luke 9:51-62 Matthew 8:18-22 "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God." Once we decide we are going to follow Jesus we can not look back. Longing for the past will interfere with God's plan for you for the future. When a farmer is plowing, if he is looking backward, his furrows will not be in a straight row. We can't see ahead if we are always looking back. Sometimes we feel that we are in the dark when we are following the Lord. God doesn't give us a detailed itinerary of what He has planned for us. We don't know what lies ahead. Sometimes, many times, we don't know where we are going. That is where trust comes in. We must trust the Lord with our lives. We must believe that He knows best. There is a reason why He is bringing you the way that He is. Even if you don't understand and can't see the way clearly. "For w e walk by faith not by sight"  ( 2Cor. 5:7 )-- We must trust H

2 Chronicles 7:14: "If My people who are called by My name, will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." The Lord  spoke these words to Solomon and were for the Israelites in those days. But the words hold true for today as well. The verse says- "My people"- meaning Christians- the Church. We are the ones who need to humble ourselves and pray and seek the Lord's face. God never did and will not start now- moving- until He sees the Church has a deep and true repentance. Even if you are not taking part in the sins of the Church, there must be a spirit of repentance and crying out in your hearts for the sin in the Church today. It is no wonder God is not blessing this country, but more importantly- the Church has gotten so far away from the original purpose God had in mind. We are to seek Him- not pleasures, fame, money and  a good life.
