I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.

 One flock:

 

            One flock … one Shepherd:  

 

John 10:16

16 “I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.

 

            There is not the Methodist flock, the Baptist flock, the Pentecostal flock, etc. It’s one flock with one label … Christian. As we get closer to the end, it will become more and more important for us to be undivided. United we stand, divided we fall. Not the Church … it’s going to stand. Our denomination might fall, but the Church never will.

 

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "You are not the only ones that I have in My heart. There are others in the world that I desire to have in My Fold. As you work together, they will want to come to be a part of you. They will want to work together to accomplish all that I have desired. You are My Sheep, and I have longed to lay down beside quiet water with you. But you have long resisted that because you cannot abide those that are not like you. You must accept others of My Flock as they are. They cannot change what they are. Only I can change them. Do not wait till they become like you to accept them. Accept them as they are and allow Me to change them in My way and in My time. You were not perfect when I chose you. You were not perfected when you came to Me. You have grown greatly in the time since you came to Me. Had the others around you said that they would not accept you until you were like them, you would not have been accepted by them even yet. Come together in Me and be one; for I have only one Flock, and it is precious in Me.”

 

            83. I am part of one flock that has only one Shepherd … the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

            The old song goes … “We are one in the Spirit; we are one in the Lord. We are one in the Spirit; we are one in the Lord. And we pray that all unity may one day be restored. And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love. And they’ll know we are Christians by our love.”
