Feed My Sheep

Feed My Sheep (John 21:17)

The fact is that if you do not feed the body with water and food, the person will die in three to four weeks. The body needs sustenance or it will die.

Scripture provides us with another fact. The mind needs to be fed proper “food” for there to be life and mental health, or it will become corrupted and you will die mentally and spiritually.

Jesus said in John 6:57, “The one who feeds on me will live.” What is this food that our minds need. The answer is “Truth.” In John 8:32, Jesus says, “The truth will set you free.”

Jesus says to Peter in John 21:17, “Feed my sheep.” If the human mind is not fed truth, just as an unfed body will wither, the mind will darken and fall into unhealth.

The principle of the brain is use it or lose it. If the brain is not fed truth regularly, it will lose the truth and fall into the words of the world. The world is living in “The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.”

Jesus died on the cross so that believers may eat from the “Tree of Life” again. In the Tree of Life is the truth that will transform our minds and set us free.

The Tree of Life also offers grace, mercy, forgiveness, love, hope, joy and the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Peace of mind is the key to mental health. How do we attain this mental health? By daily using and practicing the words that Jesus has given us. In John 17:8 Jesus says, “I gave them the words you gave me, and they accepted them.”

Feeding on Jesus’ words produces life. How do we know the truth? In John16:12 Jesus says, “I will send the Counselor to you and when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth.”

If you want to have the full and abundant life that Jesus promises in John 10:10, then feed daily on Jesus’ words and truth. Develop the neuronal pathways that come from the use of His truth. Allow His  truth to nurture your soul and create the peace of God which transcends all understanding and will guard your hearts and minds. (Philippians 4:8)

Words have power. Words are important. The words that you allow to circulate in your mind will either bring life or death. You can choose which words you will feed to your mind.

Jesus says, “I am the way and the truth and the life. (John 14:6) It is His truth that will give you life. Embrace your true self in Christ. Accept the words of truth that describe you as a worthy child of God. Use the loving words from the Tree of Life daily. “I am forgiven. I am loved.” As you feed on God’s truth, your soul will be nurtured and you will experience life. Experience the life that God wants you to have.

Evil is defined as malignant narcissism or aggressive selfishness. Agape love is the opposite. It is unconditional, selfless, sacrificial serving. As they say at Rotary International, “Service above self.”

Wisdom and Truth # 1

The brain works by the following principles:
• Use it or lose it

Wisdom and Truth # 2

To win without the other person’s involvement is not a win at all, but rather, an invitation for an unplanned consequence called resentment.

Wisdom and Truth # 3

Without light, all we have is darkness.
Jesus and his Truth is the light of the world.
“Moses brought the law, but Jesus brought grace and truth.’ John 1:3
“But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light.” John 3:21

Wisdom and Truth # 4

God’s perfect and everlasting love does not depend on our performance.
It is an unconditional gift. Receive God’s gift and don’t question it. Rest in his gift of love.

Wisdom and Truth # 5

We go to heaven by faith in Jesus Christ, and by our belief that he is the Son of God, and by God’s grace, not by works, striving and our own human performance.

Wisdom and Truth # 6

The peace that is beyond all understanding comes from the Prince of Peace. Peace comes when you receive Jesus’ Truth in your soul and accept it. What you accept in your soul significantly affects your state of well-being.

Wisdom and Truth # 7

There is a paradox that humility and high self-esteem are not only compatible, But they are a necessary and beautiful combination of human traits. The challenge is to have high self-confidence and be humble at the same time.

Wisdom and Truth # 8

Comparrogance is the single most destructive influence in all human relationships. The progressive steps of comparrogance include
1) Comparing
2) Competing
3) Judging
4) Believing, with arrogant superiority, that you are better than others.

Comparrogance, the negative aspect of pride, occurs about every fifteen minutes throughout the day. It can be stopped where it begins – when you find yourself comparing – stop.

Wisdom and Truth # 9

You cannot relate to others in the past or in the future. All relationships exist in the present. That is where love is – Love is in the present.

Wisdom and Truth # 10

I have never experienced a negative outcome after giving somebody
a selfless gift,
a cup of water,
a piece of honest praise,
or, after loving somebody unconditionally.

Wisdom and Truth # 11

Let God be the judge.
Stop judging and let go.
Our job is to forgive, not judge.

Wisdom and Truth # 12

Just as gardeners plant and water seeds, and God produces the flower and the fruit, Doctors cut, clean, extract and set, and then God does the healing. The fruit of all healing comes from God.

Wisdom and Truth # 13

Grace without Truth is license. It is a directionless freedom to do whatever one wants without discipline, order or responsibility. Grace needs Truth.

Wisdom and Truth # 14

Truth without Grace is judgment. It is a legalistic, impersonal, rule of law devoid of relationship and the warmth of love. Truth needs Grace.

Wisdom and Truth # 15

Fear is an imagination, about the future, where God’s Truth is not present.
When you pray, invite Jesus into your fearful thoughts about the future.
Ask Him to reveal his Truth to you related to your specific thinking.
Listen to his Truth. Accept His Truth.
And that specific Truth will drive your fear away.

Wisdom and Truth # 16

We are to use our minds as a fountain of love,
Not as a weapon to defend, attack, gain advantage or win.

Wisdom and Truth # 17

The old saying “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.” is a lie.
In reality, it is names and words that will hurt you, and forever, unless they are confronted with Truth.

Wisdom and Truth # 18

Jealousy is wanting to hold onto what you have and not share it.
Envy is the desire to have what another person possesses.

Wisdom and Truth # 19

A person is worth more than his/her mistakes.
We should not confuse worth with mistakes.
In fact, mistakes are our friend,
because that is how we learn and get better.

Wisdom and Truth # 20

An attitude of gratitude does not depend on courage, strength of talent.
It is a state of mind where one is thankful for everything, and totally free of envy.
It enables one to openly appreciate all that is good in life.
“Be thankful in all circumstances.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Wisdom and Truth # 21

Total control in our lives is a fiction.
The outside world does not adapt to us.
We need to adapt to what is happening moment to moment.
Flexible people are aware of their surroundings and accept what is.
Change is a given in life, Embrace it!

Wisdom and Truth # 22

“Chesed” is the Hebrew word for God’s “loyal love.”
There is integrity in sticking with another through thick and thin.
Loyalty is “being with.”
It is a deep affection that is anchored in the heart and lasts a lifetime.
Like God’s love for us!

Wisdom and Truth # 23

In the Kingdom of God, God is King.
Our relationship to our King is to bow our knee, submit to his authority,
and obey His will.
Why?
Because His Will flows from His perfect love for us,
even when he is correcting us.

Wisdom and Truth # 24

Jesus only used two words to describe himself.
He said “I am gentle and humble.” Matthew 11:29
He also says, “Follow me.”
If we are to imitate Jesus’ example, then we too are to be gentle and humble.
