The LORD, The Shepherd Of His People

Psalm 23:1-6

The LORD (GOD Almighty) is My (Believers) Shepherd; I (Believers) shall NOT want.  He (GOD Almighty) MAKES me (Believers) to LIE DOWN in Green Pastures; He (GOD Almighty) LEADS me (Believers) beside The Still Waters.  He (GOD Almighty) RESTORES My (Believers) Soul; He (GOD Almighty) LEADS me (Believers) in The Paths of Righteousness for His (GOD Almighty’s) Name’s Sake.  Yea, though I (Believers) WALK through The Valley of The Shadow of Death, I (Believers) will fear NO evil (Satan); for YOU (GOD Almighty) are with me (Believers); Your (GOD Almighty’s) Rod and Your (GOD Almighty’s) Staff, they comfort me (Believers).  YOU (GOD Almighty) PREPARE a Table, BEFORE me (Believers), in The Presence of My (Believers) Enemies; YOU (GOD Almighty) ANOINT My (Believers) Head with OIL; My (Believers) Cup RUNS OVER.  Surely, Goodness and Mercy shall FOLLOW me (Believers), All The Days of My (Believers) Life; and I (Believers) will DWELL in The House of The LORD (GOD Almighty), Forever.

John 10:1-6

“Most assuredly, I (Jesus Christ) SAY to YOU (Believers), he (Satan) who does NOT enter The Sheepfold by The DOOR (Jesus Christ), but climbs up Some Other Way (The Workings of Satan), the same (Satan) is a thief and a robber.  But He (Jesus Christ) who ENTERS by The DOOR is The Shepherd (Jesus Christ) of The Sheep (Believers).  To Him (Jesus Christ) The Doorkeeper (GOD Almighty) OPENS, and The Sheep (Believers) HEAR His (Jesus Christ’s) Voice; and He CALLS His (Jesus Christ’s) Own Sheep (Believers) BY NAME and LEADS Them (Believers) OUT.  And when He (Jesus Christ) BRINGS OUT His (Jesus Christ’s) Own Sheep (Believers), He (Jesus Christ) GOES BEFORE Them (Believers); and The Sheep (Believers) FOLLOW Him (Jesus Christ), for They (Believers) KNOW His (Jesus Christ’s) Voice.  Yet, They (Believers) will by NO means follow a stranger (Satan), but will FLEE from him (Satan), for They (Believers) do NOT know the voice of strangers (Satan’s).”  Jesus used This Illustration, but they (Unbelievers) did NOT Understand The Things which He (Jesus Christ) SPOKE to them (Unbelievers).

 

John 10:7-11, 14-18

 

Then Jesus SAID to them (Unbelievers) again, “Most assuredly, I (Jesus Christ) SAY to YOU (Believers), I (Jesus Christ) AM The DOOR of The Sheep (Believers).  All who ever came BEFORE Me (Jesus Christ) are thieves and robbers, but The Sheep (Believers) did NOT hear them (Satan).  I (Jesus Christ) AM The DOOR.  If ANYONE (Believers) Enters by Me (Jesus Christ), He (Believers) will be SAVED, and will GO IN and OUT and FIND PASTURE. The thief (Satan) does NOT come EXCEPT to STEAL, and to KILL, and to DESTROY.  I (Jesus Christ) have come that They (Believers) may have LIFE (Everlasting Life), and that They (Believers) may have it (Life) More Abundantly.

“I (Jesus Christ) AM The Good Shepherd.  The Good Shepherd GIVES His (Jesus Christ’s) Life for The Sheep (Believers).  I (Jesus Christ) AM The Good Shepherd; and I (Jesus Christ) KNOW My (Jesus Christ’s) Sheep (Believers), and AM KNOWN by My (Jesus Christ’s) Own (Believers).  As The Father (GOD Almighty) KNOWS Me (Jesus Christ), even so I (Jesus Christ) KNOW The Father (GOD Almighty); and I (Jesus Christ) LAY DOWN My (Jesus Christ’s) Life for The Sheep (Believers).  And Other Sheep (The Gentile Believers) I (Jesus Christ) have, which are NOT of This Fold (Jewish Believers); Them (The Gentile Believers) ALSO I (Jesus Christ) MUST BRING, and They (The Gentile Believers) will HEAR My (Jesus Christ’s) Voice; and there will be One Flock (All Believers) and One Shepherd (Jesus Christ).

“Therefore, My (Jesus Christ’s) Father (GOD Almighty) LOVES Me (Jesus Christ), BECAUSE I (Jesus Christ) LAY DOWN My (Jesus Christ’s) Life that I (Jesus Christ) may TAKE IT (Jesus Christ’s Life) again.  NO One (Satan) TAKES IT (Jesus Christ’s Life) FROM Me (Jesus Christ), but I (Jesus Christ) LAY IT (Jesus Christ’s Life) DOWN of Myself (Jesus Christ).  I (Jesus Christ) have POWER to LAY IT (Jesus Christ’s Life) DOWN, and I (Jesus Christ) have POWER to TAKE IT (Jesus Christ’s Life) again.  This COMMAND I (Jesus Christ) have RECEIVED from My (Jesus Christ’s) Father (GOD Almighty).” 

John 10:27-30


Jesus answered them, “My (Jesus Christ’s) Sheep (Believers) HEAR My (Jesus Christ’s) Voice, and I (Jesus Christ) KNOW Them (Believers), and They (Believers) FOLLOW Me (Jesus Christ).  And I (Jesus Christ) GIVE Them (Believers) ETERNAL LIFE, and They (Believers) shall NEVER Perish (The Second Death); NEITHER shall ANYONE (Satan) SNATCH Them (Believers) OUT of My (Jesus Christ’s) Hand.  My (Jesus Christ’s) Father (GOD Almighty), Who has GIVEN Them (Believers) TO Me (Jesus Christ), IS GREATER than All; and NO ONE (Satan) is able to SNATCH Them (Believers) OUT of My (Jesus Christ’s) Father’s (GOD Almighty’s) Hand.  I (Jesus Christ) and My (Jesus Christ’s) Father (GOD Almighty) ARE ONE.”

Fellow Believers, now let’s take another look at Psalm 23:

“The LORD (GOD Almighty) is My (Believers) Shepherd; I (Believers) shall NOT want.”

The LORD Jesus Christ IS My (Believers) Shepherd, I shall NOT want, for ANYTHING.

“He (GOD Almighty) MAKES me (Believers) to LIE DOWN in Green Pastures; He (GOD Almighty) LEADS me (Believers) beside The Still Waters.”

Jesus Christ GIVES me (Believers) Peace, I will relax, I will be calm, I will be confident, and I will be at Peace.

“He (GOD Almighty) RESTORES My (Believers) Soul.”

Jesus Christ RENEWS me (Believers) with Strength THOUGH The Holy Spirit, EVERY DAY.

“He (GOD Almighty) LEADS me (Believers) in The Paths of Righteousness for His (GOD Almighty’s) Name’s Sake.”

Jesus Christ LEADS me (Believers) to WALK GOD Almighty’s Path, which He (GOD Almighty) CREATED Specifically for me (Believers) to WALK, Jesus Christ ALWAYS Leads My (Believers) Way.

“Yea, though I (Believers) walk through The Valley of The Shadow of Death, I (Believers) will Fear NO evil (Satan); for YOU (GOD Almighty) are with me (Believers).”

Though I (Believers) walk through The Possibility of Death, daily, I (Believers) will NOT Fear Satan, for Jesus Christ ABIDES within me (Believers), THROUGH The Holy Spirit.

“Your (GOD Almighty’s) Rod and Your (GOD Almighty’s) Staff, they comfort me (Believers).”

KNOWING that GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit are with me (Believers) and Watching over me (Believers), Always, gives me (Believers) Great Comfort.

“YOU (GOD Almighty) PREPARE a Table, BEFORE me (Believers), in The Presence of My (Believers) Enemies.”

GOD Almighty gives me (Believers) Comfort and Peace, even in The Presence of My (Believers) Enemies (Satan, Satan’s followers, and Unbelievers).

“YOU (GOD Almighty) ANOINT My (Believers) Head with OIL”

Jesus Christ has Called me (Believers) to be His (Jesus Christ’s) Disciple, Anointing me (Believers) with The Holy Spirit, so that I (Believers) may Share The Gospel of Jesus Christ.

“My (Believers) Cup RUNS OVER.”

Jesus Christ THROUGH The Holy Spirit has FILLED me (Believers) with His (Jesus Christ’s) Presence.

“Surely, Goodness and Mercy shall FOLLOW me (Believers), All The Days of My (Believers) Life.”

GOD Almighty will Watch Over me (Believers), and Jesus Christ will ABIDE within me (Believers) THROUGH The Holy Spirit, and GOD Almighty will show me (Believers) His (GOD Almighty’s) Love, Mercy, and Grace, Always.

“And I (Believers) will DWELL in The House of The LORD (GOD Almighty), Forever.”

I (Believers) will be in GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, with Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, and All The Rest of The Children (Believers) of GOD Almighty, for Eternity, Forever.

Fellow Believers, I realize this is a different way to look at Psalm 23, but it’s the way GOD Almighty REVEALED it to me.  I encourage YOU (Believers) to READ The Holy Bible for Yourselves (Believers) and GOD Almighty will REVEAL to each of YOU (Believers), what He (GOD Almighty) wants YOU to KNOW, at that point in time.
