the call

Douglas, you are my precious child. I will use you much to touch the lives of the hurting and lost... I will help you be more like Jesus, to have the mind of Christ, to flow with the Spirit.

Have I not blessed you with the group coaching? How your influence will spread to multitudes of people who need me. There are soo many lost sheep out there... scattered as without a shepherd. So many lost, adrift, tossed to and fro. I will place my spirit upon you to minister in my name. The world is desperately in need of ministers... ministers. Good samaritans. Those who will step out and seek and save those who are lost and wandering and hurting.

I place upon you the mantle of a minister, a pastor, a shepherd. Tend my precious flock Douglas. Tend my sheep. Feed my sheep. That's what I told Peter. Feed my sheep. David was a shepherd. John saw me as the good shepherd who calls his sheep. You, Douglas, are called to tend my sheep. You have great compassion for my little ones. And you follow my heart. What else is needed in a shepherd?? Nothing. Just follow your heart. Love them as I love them. You need to become "Jesus with skin on" to them. They need it... badly.

You have my unfettered blessing to go forth and minister. Use it as you will.
