All right. uh back as well this evening. All right. So in the scripture here in the So in the scripture here in the So in the scripture here in the scripture we see two distinct roles of a scripture we see two distinct roles of a scripture we see two distinct roles of a Christian. All right. One role is that Christian. All right. One role is that Christian. All right. One role is that of a sheep. All right? And we know of a sheep. All right? And we know of a sheep. All right? And we know throughout the Bible the the the word of throughout the Bible the the the word of throughout the Bible the the the word of God likens us as as sheep. Sheep God likens us as as sheep. Sheep God likens us as as sheep. Sheep symbolize people who are vulnerable who symbolize people who are vulnerable who symbolize people who are vulnerable who are prone to wonder. How many of you are prone to wonder. How many of you are prone to wonder. How many of you know we're vulnerable tonight? How many know we're vulnerable tonight? How many know we're vulnerable tonight? How many of you know we're weak tonight? And then of you know we're weak tonight? And then of you know we're weak tonight? And then if we're not careful, we're prone uh to if we're not careful, we're prone uh to if we're not careful, we're prone uh to wonder and in need of guidance, wonder and in need of guidance, wonder and in need of guidance, especially those who stray from God's especially those who stray from God's especially those who stray from God's path. path. path. All right. So Isaiah 53 and6 is the All right. So Isaiah 53 and6 is the All right. So Isaiah 53 and6 is the first time man is called a sheep in the first time man is called a sheep in the first time man is called a sheep in the Bible. Isaiah 53 and 6 says it all we Bible. Isaiah 53 and 6 says it all we Bible. Isaiah 53 and 6 says it all we like sheep have gone astray and we have like sheep have gone astray and we have like sheep have gone astray and we have turned everyone to his own way and the turned everyone to his own way and the turned everyone to his own way and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. But that's the first document in all. But that's the first document in all. But that's the first document in scripture where we're specifically scripture where we're specifically scripture where we're specifically explicitly called a sheep. See, sheep explicitly called a sheep. See, sheep explicitly called a sheep. See, sheep are total dependent. They're dependent are total dependent. They're dependent are total dependent. They're dependent on the guidance of the shepherd. And on the guidance of the shepherd. And on the guidance of the shepherd. And we're to be totally dependent and we're to be totally dependent and we're to be totally dependent and trusting in the guidance of our trusting in the guidance of our trusting in the guidance of our shepherd. Uh David himself said in 23rd shepherd. Uh David himself said in 23rd shepherd. Uh David himself said in 23rd Psalm, the Lord is my shepherd. I shall Psalm, the Lord is my shepherd. I shall Psalm, the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. Uh so again, we see that uh as not want. Uh so again, we see that uh as not want. Uh so again, we see that uh as a sheep, we have that we are totally a sheep, we have that we are totally a sheep, we have that we are totally dependent on a shepherd to survive. dependent on a shepherd to survive. dependent on a shepherd to survive. Without a shepherd, sheep would wander Without a shepherd, sheep would wander Without a shepherd, sheep would wander aimlessly. The wolves would come in and aimlessly. The wolves would come in and aimlessly. The wolves would come in and take them out of the flock and they'd take them out of the flock and they'd take them out of the flock and they'd never survive. They're in need of a never survive. They're in need of a never survive. They're in need of a shepherd. So, we see the role of us as a shepherd. So, we see the role of us as a shepherd. So, we see the role of us as a sheep tonight being totally dependent sheep tonight being totally dependent sheep tonight being totally dependent upon the Lord. And again, what is that upon the Lord. And again, what is that upon the Lord. And again, what is that representing? Uh being a sheep uh simply representing? Uh being a sheep uh simply representing? Uh being a sheep uh simply means God takes care of you as your means God takes care of you as your means God takes care of you as your shepherd. shepherd. shepherd. So, we all are sheep. If you're saved So, we all are sheep. If you're saved So, we all are sheep. If you're saved tonight, uh if you are born again and tonight, uh if you are born again and tonight, uh if you are born again and give your heart and life to Jesus give your heart and life to Jesus give your heart and life to Jesus Christ, uh he is your shepherd and you Christ, uh he is your shepherd and you Christ, uh he is your shepherd and you are his sheep, uh and he has promised are his sheep, uh and he has promised are his sheep, uh and he has promised that he would take care of you and he that he would take care of you and he that he would take care of you and he would guide and lead you. He'd never would guide and lead you. He'd never would guide and lead you. He'd never leave you or forsake you. That is the leave you or forsake you. That is the leave you or forsake you. That is the promises of God to his sheep. How many promises of God to his sheep. How many promises of God to his sheep. How many say amen? say amen? say amen? So again, uh God, we are our sheep. So again, uh God, we are our sheep. So again, uh God, we are our sheep. However, God didn't just call us to be However, God didn't just call us to be However, God didn't just call us to be sheep. I'm going somewhere here. It's sheep. I'm going somewhere here. It's sheep. I'm going somewhere here.

He is our strength. the first, the last. He is our strength. Uh he is the I am that I am. So we know Uh he is the I am that I am. So we know Uh he is the I am that I am. So we know he is our shepherd. But God doesn't want he is our shepherd. But God doesn't want he is our shepherd. But God doesn't want us to stay only in the role of the us to stay only in the role of the us to stay only in the role of the sheep. sheep. sheep. All right. So again we are looking at All right.

So again today spiritual warfare down. So again today spiritual warfare down. So again today spiritual warfare we must rely on the Holy Ghost and the we must rely on the Holy Ghost and the we must rely on the Holy Ghost and the word of God to so that we're not word of God to so that we're not word of God to so that we're not deceived. deceived. deceived. He in fact he said except he shorten the He in fact he said except he shorten the He in fact he said except he shorten the days even the very elect will be days even the very elect will be days even the very elect will be deceived. That tells you the rampant deceived. That tells you the rampant deceived. That tells you the rampant deception going on in this world deception going on in this world deception going on in this world today which we live. John 10:10 tells us today which we live. John 10:10 tells us today which we live. John 10:10 tells us a little bit about what Satan's goal is a little bit about what Satan's goal is a little bit about what Satan's goal is for you and I. John 10:10 said, "The for you and I. John 10:10 said, "The for you and I. John 10:10 said, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, thief cometh not, but for to steal, thief cometh not, but for to steal, kill, and destroy." kill, and destroy." kill, and destroy." Jesus said, "I'm come that you might Jesus said, "I'm come that you might Jesus said, "I'm come that you might have life, you might have it more have life, you might have it more have life, you might have it more abundantly." abundantly." abundantly." Satan's goal is to steal everything you Satan's goal is to steal everything you Satan's goal is to steal everything you got, your identity, your value and got, your identity, your value and got, your identity, your value and purpose in Jesus Christ to kill your purpose in Jesus Christ to kill your purpose in Jesus Christ to kill your soul, your spirit, soul, your spirit, soul, your spirit, ultimately your life, your your body. ultimately your life, your your body. ultimately your life, your your body. and destroy, and destroy, and destroy, steal, kill, and destroy you, destroy steal, kill, and destroy you, destroy steal, kill, and destroy you, destroy your family, destroy whatever he can get your family, destroy whatever he can get your family, destroy whatever he can get hold of. Uh we we we talk about the book hold of. Uh we we we talk about the book hold of. Uh we we we talk about the book of Job, and I'm not going to spend much of Job, and I'm not going to spend much of Job, and I'm not going to spend much time there for the sake of time. We talk time there for the sake of time. We talk time there for the sake of time. We talk about the book of Job, and there's many about the book of Job, and there's many about the book of Job, and there's many reasons I believe God put that book in reasons I believe God put that book in reasons I believe God put that book in the Bible to exhort us, but also I think the Bible to exhort us, but also I think the Bible to exhort us, but also I think he put it there to warn us. We know the he put it there to warn us. We know the he put it there to warn us. We know the we know that Job was blessed at the end we know that Job was blessed at the end we know that Job was blessed at the end and we know Job held on to his faith and and we know Job held on to his faith and and we know Job held on to his faith and we know Job was a righteous man and we we know Job was a righteous man and we we know Job was a righteous man and we know that part of the story. But I know that part of the story. But I know that part of the story. But I believe another reason that book is put believe another reason that book is put believe another reason that book is put in the word of God is to pull back the in the word of God is to pull back the in the word of God is to pull back the curtain and expose to us uh just who our curtain and expose to us uh just who our curtain and expose to us uh just who our enemy is and how evil he is and how enemy is and how evil he is and how enemy is and how evil he is and how wicked he is and how if given a half a wicked he is and how if given a half a wicked he is and how if given a half a chance come in and take everything chance come in and take everything chance come in and take everything you've got he'll steal and he'll kill you've got he'll steal and he'll kill you've got he'll steal and he'll kill and he'll destroy. I think another and he'll destroy. I think another and he'll destroy. I think another important part of Job is for us to see important part of Job is for us to see important part of Job is for us to see exactly who this enemy is and apart from God having a hedge about and apart from God having a hedge about way. So we see let's talk now let's talk So we see let's talk now let's talk about the warfare spiritual warfare. Now let's talk about the battle the Now let's talk about the battle the conqueror Joshua and we see the roles in conqueror Joshua and we see the roles in conqueror Joshua and we see the roles in the we see the roles in each in this the we see the roles in each in this the we see the roles in each in this story. Joshua was the conqueror. He was story. Joshua was the conqueror. He was story. Joshua was the conqueror. He was the one on the battlefield. The first the one on the battlefield.

I wonder how many battles have been lost wonder how many battles have been lost wonder how many battles have been lost because we were sleeping instead of because we were sleeping instead of because we were sleeping instead of praying. I said we I wonder how many praying. I said we I wonder how many praying. I said we I wonder how many battles how many souls as was said but battles how many souls as was said but battles how many souls as was said but powerful this morning that are in hell powerful this morning that are in hell powerful this morning that are in hell today because we did not pray or today because we did not pray or today because we did not pray or intercede. That the prayer is the intercede. That the prayer is the intercede. That the prayer is the battle. That's where the battle's going battle. That's where the battle's going battle. That's where the battle's going to be won. And if you don't pray, you're to be won. And if you don't pray, you're to be won.
