"Abiding Shepherds, Sleeping Sheep and Coming Glory"
{A Prophetic Message of Christ-mas To The Abiding Shepherd}
"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And. lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."

-Luke 2:8-13

It weren't a vast crowd or congregation that the angel of the Lord came to on that 1st Christ-mas night! It was to a few shepherds, who inspight of the dark, were found abiding in their field, keeping the night watch, looking over their sheep while the sheep slept.
They were there watching out for wolves or any beast of prey that would use the advantage of the dark to sneak into the sheep fold for a kill. Unknowingly, on their part they were in the same area near where Christ (The Anointed One) was birthed!
I want to prophesy this message (during Christmas Season or and Night Season) to the LOCAL PASTOR or MINSTER OF THE GOSPEL, who has been in a dark field of night for sometime. Who is so worn out, staying up, watching over the sheep, while the sheep seem to keep on sleeping!
Never forget that the One Who called and Anointed you loves the night shift! The Holy Ghost 1st moved in scripture "..in the dark.."-Genesis 1:2 Meaning every New Birth, every New Day and every New Work begins in the dark! When a day ends, it always ends in the dark. Yet, likewise every New Day also begins in the dark! So when it gets dark and the sheep are sleeping, and your so tired from the night watching, know that the God of Glory is bringing an end to one level, that He might begin and birth another level. When did the angel show up and God's Glory show out? While they were THERE! Where is THERE at?
In the dark, in their field or there in their calling! There is where the sheep are sleeping! Some of you are there also now. You feel in the dark, alone, tired and you have become so focused on sleeping sheep who are un-concerned. But the Holy Ghost in and through me gives both you and me, His abiding shepherds a prophetic charge on this night. The Spirit of Christ-mas Himself is saying to us! Like He did to those few shepherds that 1st Christ-mas night! This is UNTO YOU! Not to the congregations and crowds of Church attendees! Not to the sheep! No! He is bringing YOU (His Shepherds) some good news on this night! This you have term a horrible night, is really a holy night! God has scheduled His Glory to show up in your life, family and ministry soon! Don't allow the darkness to deceive you any longer! Because (in this dark place), there in this night watch, God wants you see that just like these abiding shepherds so long ago, you too are so near the THE ANOINTED ONE and THE NEW BIRTH of His Next Move! Don't be distracted by the sleeping sheep any more! God's Glory is about to AWAKEN THEM! Just continue to abide in your field! Keep watching expecting in the dark! God's Glory Is About To REVIVE both You and THEM! You know when God's Glory came upon those tired watching abiding shepherds that night, the sheep also had to wake from both the sound and the brightness of God's glory! But here is what you must do! You must begin to re-focus on the above all call again! The call the shepherds received, was to come and see this sign that was unto them! To go see the Savior JESUS! Some of you have spent so much time counting the sleeping sheep, that you have neglected your time with the Savior! That's why the sleeping sheep are such a burden to you! If you don't re-align your priorities in this divine order; (The Savior 1st and the Sheep 2nd), your going to miss this new birth/day and the Glory of God that's about to come! So give the sleeping sheep back to the Great Shepherd and give you heart back to your 1st love, Jesus your Shepherd also! Though you must watch in the night, stop watching the night and get back in your secret place of prayer with the Light of The World! Don't forget to go FIND YOUR BABE! THE PRECIOUS LORD JESUS! Because the Lord of Glory is about to send His Glory upon those who are ABIDING in their CALL (field), who are keeping watch inspight of the dark! Don't run from your field, except it's to run to the Savior! Then get back to your...DIVINE THERE! Because the only way your going to possess power to abide and to keep the watch, is when your looking to the Savior intimately! Abide on and Keep Watching man of God / woman of God! The message He has given you is to ALL PEOPLE!!! (vs.10).
This means; His plans are to use you to touch not just many NOW, but many generations to come! So stop looking around, thinking your small flock (ministry) and efforts for the sheep are use-less! God is about to send His Angel to you! Just for you! Don't miss it! Abide in the field He gave you and keep watching (EXPECTING) in the dark! For soon His Glory will come upon you THERE and you will be so glad that you were abiding THERE when it does!

Abiding In The Faith & Focused on The Savior,
