DAY #2, ❛ THE SHEPERD AND HIS PRESENCE ... ❜, Ps Moses Ziela
📕 REVIVAL & REFORMATION: EXPERIENCE WITH THE SHEPHERD 📕

📌 BIBLE TEXT:
“He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters."
(Psalms 23:2 NKJV)

📌 HIGHLIGHTS:
THREE (03) ESSENTIAL POINTS:
✅ #1. THE SHEPHERD PRESENCE IS ALL THAT MATTERS:
     👉 As the sheep settle down, the shepherd is there with the sheep: The presence of the Shepherd!
     👉 It's not the green grass, not the pastures, not the still waters that give rest to the Sheep, but rather The presence of the Shepherd! 
     👉 It's not about the cars, the houses, the good health, the availability of the school fees, or having the child or finding the husband/wife, but rather The presence of the Shepherd!

🟢 THE SHEPHERD NORMS:
     👍 Sheep will not digest food, unless they LIE DOWN!
     👍 Sheep will not lie down, unless they FEEL SAFE!
          👉 The shepherd's presence provides this sense of security and safety from the dangers around, and from the dangers within.

"Man, created for fellowship with God, can only in such a fellowship, find his real life and development." (Ellen G. White, Education, p. 124)

"The only safeguard against Satan's power is found in THE PRESENCE OF JESUS CHRIST." (Ellen G. White, Desire of Ages, p. 341)

"It is not enough that we admit Christ into our lives or into our hearts. We must encourage His presence by a LIFE OF PRAYER." (Ellen G. White, Desire of Ages, p. 341)

"The definition of Heaven is the presence of Christ. It is the presence of Jesus, that is needed in our assemblies. Preaching in itself has no natural power" (Seventh Day Adventist Bible Commentary, p. 987)
👉 Heaven will not be heaven if Jesus Christ shall not be there!

"MY PRESENCE will go with you, and I will give you REST."
(Exodus 33:14 NKJV)

"The promise of the Divine Presence, was to Moses an assurance of success in the work before him.

No earthly power or skill or learning can supply the place of God's abiding presence." (Ellen G. White, Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 323)

⁉️ Are you searching for REST? for PEACE OF MIND? for LIFE FREE OF ANXIETY? ⁉️ 
❤️ THE SHEPHERD PRESENCE IS ALL THAT MATTERS!!! ❤️


✅ #2. THE SHEPHERD'S PROVISIONS ARE ENOUGH:
“He makes me to lie down in green pastures;" (Psalms 23:2 NKJV)

     👉 God has given us the best grass, ever! We have every blessing we need in the LORD! And the grass is not greener on the other side.

"I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down," says the Lord GOD."
(Ezekiel 34:15 NKJV)
     👉 The MANNA!!!
     👉 God wanted them to see and He demonstrated a life of trust generosity and sharing.

"The systems will be emptied the pools, become dry, But our Redeemer, is an INEXHAUSTIBLE FOUNTAIN.

From this source, we may draw strength and grace sufficient for all our needs." (Ellen G. White, Desire of Ages, p. 187)
❤️ THE SHEPHERD'S PROVISIONS ARE ENOUGH!!! ❤️


✅ #3. THE SHEPHERD'S REFRESHING IS WHAT WE NEED NOW:
"He leads me to still waters" (Psalms 23:2 NKJV)

     👉 Still waters = Quiet Streams
     👉 Its purpose is for the REFRESHING OF THE SHEEP.

"If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him." (John 4:10 NKJV)

"For I will pour water on him who he is thirsty (...) I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, And My blessing on your offspring;"
(Isaiah 44:3 NKJV)
     👉 OUR GREATEST NEED TODAY IS THE INFILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!!! 👈

"I saw that many were neglecting the preparation so needful and were looking to the time of "refreshing" and the "latter rain" to fit them to stand in the day of the Lord and to live in His sight. Oh, how many I saw in the time of trouble WITHOUT A SHELTER!"  (Ellen G. White, Early Writings, p. 71)

❤️ THE SHEPHERD'S REFRESHING IS WHAT WE NEED, NOW!!! ❤️

“He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters."
(Psalms 23:2 NKJV)
