Are you sheep or goat? "For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong
to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward"
Matthew 25:31-46 "31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall
he sit upon the throne of his glory:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another,
as a shepherd divideth sheep from the goats:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.34
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from
the foundation of the world:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger,
and ye took me in:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.37 Then
shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed? or thirsty, and gave drink?38 When saw
we thee a stranger, and took in? or naked, and clothed?39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?40 And
the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these
my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me.41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and
ye gave me no drink:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye
visited me not.44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or
naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not to me.46 And these shall go away into everlasting
punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
At His coming, the Son of Man (Jesus) will separate the sheep
from the goats of all nations (verses 31 & 32) the sheep at His right hand and the goats at His left (verse 33) and I
hope you can see this: both, sheep and goats had come in contact with the King. Listen to verse 37 Then shall the righteous
(sheep) answer him, saying: Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed? or thirsty, and gave drink?. 38 When saw we thee a
stranger, and took in? or naked, and clothed? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?40 And the King
shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren,
ye have done [it] unto me. Verse 44 Then shall they (goats) also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred,
or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? verse 45 is when the goats came
in contact with the King, "Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one
of the least of these, ye did [it] not to me."
Now lets see what the sheep are doing before we are
gather: verse 35 "For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and
ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me" The
King's people are hungry for meat (Jesus); remember Malachi 3:10, the meat is Jesus Christ. The King's people are thirsty,
remember Acts 8:36 the eunuch sees water (Jesus); The King's people are naked (without God's Salvation) Remember
Isaiah 61:10 "I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with
the garments of salvation" The only way that I can clothe the King's people is by declaring the truth of His Salvation:
2 Thessalonians 2:13 "But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God
hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth" The King's
people are sick, remember Isaiah 53:5 "But he wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement
of our peace upon him; and with his stripes we are healed" The Lord Jesus Christ died for all my sins (past, present
and future sins = healing) The King's people are in prison. remember Isaiah 61:1 "to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to bound" people are in prison when they believe they have to do something for the Salvation
of their souls (decision, accept, physical water baptism, give money, physical bread communion and many more things) they
are in prison doing all these things, but never free.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which
God hath before ordained that we walk in them.
Now lets see what the goats are doing before they are
gather: They are preaching freewill of man doctrine, which does not have the true King of kings; but a king begging
man to believe in him. They do not have meat nor water nor clothing, cannot bring people to liberty; remember Matthew 24:24
"For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if possible,
they shall deceive the very elect." Freewill of man doctrine brings a false Christ, but the elect will not be deceive.
yes, this doctrine is so close to the true Gospel, but at the end it does not give glory to God, but man.
This
is what is happening today when I bring this truth of God's Salvation: the time has come. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 "3 For the
time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears;4 and they shall turn away ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables" Natural
and religious men do not endure that God is in control of everything, their destiny included. Romans 9:17 "For the
scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I shew my power in thee, and that my
name be declared throughout all the earth" Romans 9:19 "Thou wilt say then unto me, Why
doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?" Yes, who has resisted His will? nobody! If someone does
not see nor believe this great Salvation God has brought to my soul in Christ, that is God's will and there is nothing I can
do to make anybody see or understand His mercy and grace towards my soul! Psalm 86:13 "For
great thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell" God's
chosen people will come to trust in Christ alone; we believe (recieve) His Salvation; but the goats cannot do any good
to the King's people, because they have not recieved His Gift (Eternal life) of SALVATION through the Lord Jesus
Christ, which is FREE! I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
PRAISE
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
