THEY LOOK JUST LIKE US!


 THEY LOOK GENUINELY AUTHENTIC:

We, as God's Ministries and His Senior National Global Apostle & Kingdom of God Messenger, are Lovingly, graciously, freely, and Boldly Going Where No Other Ministry or Minister has gone before in our Lord God and blessed Savior, Jesus Christ. Senior National, Global Apostle, Messenger James & Betty Winfree Ministries.


Matthew 24:24
For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
Yes, As Jesus Christ readied His twelve disciples to go out and minister, first He gave detailed guidelines for their early mission (Matthew 10:5–15), and then He prepared them for opposition and persecution: “Behold, I Am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves” (Matthew 10:16,).

Jesus Christ knew that His messengers would encounter fierce resistance, so He immediately dismissed any idealistic notion of what it meant to be His ministers. He told them that persecution and betrayal would come from unexpected places and all kinds of people, even family and friends (Matthew 10:21-22, 34–36). Jesus also knew that many would respond to the disciples’ message, so they had to go. To be as “sheep amidst the wolves” is the Lord’s fitting imagery portraying how we obey His call and take the message of salvation to receptive souls scattered amid a crowd of hostile challengers.

Reflecting the character of meek and gentle sheep, our message is one of love and compassion. (Luke 10:3) uses the language of “Lambs among wolves,” emphasizing the dedicated vulnerability that ought to exemplify Christ’s servants, messengers, missionaries, and evangelists. We are to go out clothed with grace, mercy, kindness, and humility, “innocent as doves”, but also with wisdom, truth, and integrity,“wise as serpents.” We keep our attitude and actions pure and harmless and our eyes wide open, “alert and of sober mind” because our “enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).

The future peaceful reality of sheep and wolves living together in harmony (Isaiah 11:6; 65:25) is not yet our reality. The apostle Paul testified to Church leaders, “I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock” (Acts 20:29). To His disciple Timothy, Paul wrote, “Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12). Today their are two Jesus Christ, the fake one and the biblical One, just as their are two types of Christians, the white ones and all the other ones.

Jesus Christ desires that we be fully prepared to be hated and treated poorly just as He was (Matthew 10:25). Yet we can find comfort and encouragement in our struggles, knowing such ill-treatment is a sign of our close fellowship with Jesus Christ (Acts 5:41; 2 2 ( 2Corinthians 11:16–33; 12:1–10;) (Philippians 3:10–11). Yes, keep this in your mind and in your hearts, the fake Jesuses and Christians only love those who look just like them, but the Real True JESUS loves all souls.

Sheep are defenseless animals. Unless they stay near their shepherd, these animals have no hope of surviving against a pack of wolves. Jesus Christ, who is “The Great Shepherd of the sheep” (Hebrews 13:20), assured His disciples repeatedly that He would care for His sheep, leading, guiding, protecting, and laying down His life for them (John 10:1–16, 26–30).

Even though we will face persecution in our mission to follow and obey Christ, He encourages us not to fear: “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Aren't two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows” (Matthew 10:28-31).

Matthew 10:16 was not the disciples’ first exhortation to expect persecution as servants of God’s kingdom. In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you” (Matthew 5:10-12). Honor in God’s kingdom is a blessing reserved for those who actively seek to advance His righteousness and serve the King.

Initially, the “wolves” in Jesus’ analogy included the Pharisees and Jewish religious teachers who violently persecuted the early church. But the caution to be like sheep amidst the wolves is relevant to believers in every age who must live as Christ’s ambassadors in a dark and unreceptive world. Without our Shepherd, we are defenseless and in danger. But with Jesus, we are promised protection and peace (John 14:27; 16:33; (Psalm 3:5–6;) ( Matthew 6:25-34; 11:28) ( Romans 8:28, 35–39).
YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR LOVE AND ACTIONS:
1 JOHN 4:1-3
4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. Amen.

We trust You fully. We follow You boldly.
In the Name of Jesus Christ,
Amen.
