[Psa 23:1 KJV] 1 [[A Psalm of David.]] The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.

We are his “sheep” when we dwell in the house of the LORD and are led about by the LORD.

[Jhn 10:14-15 KJV] 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

We should KNOW the good shepherd, if we are his sheep.

[Gen 4:2, 8 KJV] 2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. ... 8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

[1Jo 3:12 KJV] 12 Not as Cain, [who] was of ...

[1Jo 4:1-2, 4 KJV] 1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: ... 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Has Jesus Christ come in your flesh? Can you honestly concede (confess) he is in you?

[Col 1:27 KJV] 27 To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Or are you of a carnal mind and think he is or was flesh?

[Rom 8:6-9 KJV] 6 For to be carnally ...

[Gen 2:17 KJV] 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

But why does knowledge cause death?

The tree of knowledge differentiates between good and evil and therefor initiates judgment in man. Judgment initiates death because judgment distinguishes, separates, accuses, and decides on a verdict of death for man.  Knowledge is essentially a death sentence because who can object to the judgment of their own mind.

[Rev 12:10 KJV] 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before ...

[Jhn 12:24-25 KJV] 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

[1Co 15:34-36 KJV] 34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak [this] to your shame. 35 But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? 36 [Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

[Luk 9:23 KJV] 23 And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

One must lower himself and...

[1Co 14:33-37 KJV] 33 For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. 36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? 37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

What a shame when the woman speaks in the church.  Because the word of God comes not OUT of you but UNTO you from the Lord...

[Gen 3:16, 20 KJV] 16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. ... 20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

[Gal 4:26-27 KJV] 26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. 27 For it is written, Rejoice, [thou] barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.

In sorrow Eve conceives children and is the mother of all living; Jerusalem, the mother of us all, which is above, does it a little differently.

If the heavenly ...

Exo 33:19-20 KJV] 19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. 20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

Man cannot see the LORD and live.

[Pro 11:30 KJV] 30 The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life; and he that winneth souls [is] wise.

The righteous bear fruit from the Tree of Life.

[Pro 13:12 KJV] 12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but [when] the desire cometh, [it is] a tree of life.

And hope can bring forth the Tree of Life.

[Psa 31:24 KJV] 24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that ...

[Rom 3:27-31 KJV] 27 Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 29 [Is he] the God of the Jews only? [is he] not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30 Seeing [it is] one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Romans chapter 3 clearly says a man is justified without the “deeds of the law” (external works).  And remember what it says about the law in Romans 7:14, “For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. ...

[Gal 6:7 KJV] 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

[2Co 9:6 KJV] 6 But this [I say], He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

[Luk 8:11, 15 KJV] 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. ... 15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep [it], and bring forth fruit with patience.

A person is the ground, and a person gets back what they scatter into their heart and mind.

[Luk 6:37-38 KJV] 37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: 38 Give, and it shall be given ...

[Rom 8:27 KJV] 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.

[Rom 11:33-34 KJV] 33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

[Jhn 4:24 KJV] 24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.

The Spirit that is God has a mind. Therefore, his mind is not a physical tangible thing, but like an energy that cannot be seen.

1Co 3:16 KJV] 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?...
