I’m taking the scripture from Matthew chapter 10 verse 16. “Behold,  I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves”.  Someone may say, “what are you trying to say?”. This verse of scripture came forth by the Holy Ghost on February 1966 when I and my fellow companion in Christ received a direct call from God to go into Ministry. Although, we knew before somewhat, but it was confirmed in public that it was to be so.

Now I was going to go this way some time ago but I was stopped at that time from doing so. You may say, is it right to expose the wolves. Well lets put it this way, a sheep knows a wolf, make no mistake they do. You can dress up and look like a sheep but you have the smell of a wolf and don’t act like a sheep. Having said that, Jesus said, as sheep in the midst of wolves. Then if you go to Acts of the Apostles chapter 20 verse 29, Paul said, I know this that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Please take note, remember the church was only in it;s infancy and there they were, I would say that some two thousand years later they are running in packs, the wolves I mean.
The last entry I made was “blurred vision” and I believe that this can surly tie in with it. I believe the church, I’m not talking about a religious group, I’m talking about “The Church” should and is able to see the wolf, although sometimes they look so much like the sheep. It’s hard to detect them yet by the aid of the Holy Spirit we can do so. Jesus said in St. John’s Gospel chapter 10 verse 5, “And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.” This has been proven.

Sheep among wolves, or wolves among sheep, the same in some sense but not really. Some would dare to say that what Jesus was talking about was the born again believer out in a world of sin and among the ungodly but Paul put it in another was as wolves coming in among the sheep. So therefore the both of it is right. Without getting to dogmatic on the subject, whatever you say the wolves are among the sheep and what makes it so deceptive is that they are so dressed up that some of them look like sheep and I would like to clarify the statement, I just made. When I said “dressed up” I’m not referring to a particular church or group I’m speaking in general terms.

So many times I hear the statement made, “Well you know they believe there is a God”. The Bible says that the devil believes there is a God and he fears and trembles. Believing there is a God does not justify anyone or anything. If that was so, the devil would have been saved for long ago. There is so much done today in the name of Religion and in the name of God and God has got nothing to do with it. This stirs up my righteous indignation and makes me spiritually sick.
Listen friend, soon I believe the Antichrist will appear on the scene and the Bible says that he is going to come with all deceivableness and lying wonders and would deceive the very elect if it were possible, but that is not possible. He will look and appear so nice just like a sheep but be aware when he shows his teeth.

There is a Religious movement which is made up of different religious groups, this is nothing but a body of people who are setting the stage for the incoming of the false prophet and the Antichrist. I said earlier I wouldn’t doubt but they are running in packs. Pull on their coats, you’ll soon find out if it’s wool or hair. A true sheep don’t make much noise even when it is brought to the slaughter house or is ill treated.
You can be sure, the wolves are around and watching for any lame or feeble ones to devour. You may not be aware but I speak as I know and not as I think. I know from experience what it’s like to be attacked by wolves, spiritually I mean. I have been in among them, I’ve seen them devour innocent sheep. Someone may say, you are judgmental, no I’m not. I have no right to judge anyone. The Bible states, if it is for real and I thank God that my spiritual eyesight is very good and I know a wolf when I see one.

When churches close their door, when church pews are empty, and very few people turn up for fellowship, it tells me that the wolves got in and scattered the flock and they are not sure whether or not they should go there again because they, the sheep I mean, don’t like to be prayed upon. Jesus never said all that ever came before me are sheep, no He said all that ever came before me are thieves and robbers. Somebody to try and steal or to rob something that is precious to them. The problem today in a lot of cases, people don’t want to hear the truth. Read 2nd Timothy 4:3.

When you take your stand for what the Word of God says and not a man pleaser, you’ll find out where the wolves are. You know wolves howl mostly in the night when they let the surrounding friendly wolves that there is pray around and they want them to share or if there is danger they also warn their friends that danger is near. I’m talking about those friendly spiritual wolves.

Please take note, Paul said in 2nd Timothy 3:1-5 that the day would come when many would depart from the faith and some use that today to reconcile the empty pews in churches. There can be some truth in that as well but please don’t use that as the only cause. Paul also said what they would do, they would take unto themselves teachers having itchy ears and listen to fables and doctrines of devils. Very distinguishable , they will take unto themselves and group together and I guess you could say from packs as is known as cults. But in reference to my topic, Paul said these kind would scatter the flock, scatter them from the place where they should be fed. You talk about division in the church, there should not be division, they should be provision where the sheep can find pasture and feed on the Word and from the Word and not from some fairy tales or fables.

I know what Jesus said in John chapter 10. He said, He was the good Sheppard and on and on but yet He has given what we turn a under Sheppard to care for and feed the flock. If a Sheppard or Pastor has got to turn to Hollywood or adopt something that came from it to fill space, I don’t wonder why there’s a lot of empty pews whens it’s over.

If ever there was a day in the history of the Church when we need something from the throne room of God, it is today and the only way to get this is by Pastors, preachers, to get in their closets and receive. You won’t get something from the throne room if you maintain your stay in the computer room. I’m not saying that everything is wrong what’s on computer. If that was so I just as well stop writing. I”m just using this means to get out what I have on my heart and let the world know a few simple facts.

What I”m saying is, this don’t go to your computer and see what Brother Langdon has for me that I can use Sunday morning. What I say is very well the truth but may never be what your congregation needs on Sunday morning or what some sinner needs on a Sunday night service. Preacher, if you haven’t got some message from Heaven or there’s not some content within that message that tells me that you spent some time during the week seeking God, then I have a right to question what kind of “clothing” you wear or what is inside of that “clothing”.

I know that sometimes I sound negative, so did Jeremiah. They even put him in a pit for awhile but he survived it because he did what God wanted him to do and said what God wanted him to say. I know there are people out there who are speaking the truth, I would be naive to think otherwise. You know to sum it all up, when you really think of what Jesus said and what Paul said, there isn’t much trouble at all in the natural to distinguish a sheep from a wolf. A wolf has a long bushy tail, a long pointed face and ears that sort or stick up. So what Jesus and Paul was really saying, that these wolves would take unto themselves somewhat the characteristics of the sheep so that way they could get in among them and scatter them, a tactic that the enemy would use to destroy if possible. Oh my!, them grievous wolves.

In closing I would like to refer to Philippians chapter 3 verse 18. Paul said, “For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the Cross of Christ.”
