I want to give you this thought actually before we got well, you can go there to 1st Kings chapter 13
But I'm gonna read to you again from from Acts 20 verse 28
It says take heed therefore unto yourselves and to all the flocks over which the Holy Ghost have made you overseers to feed the church
Of God which he hath purchased with his own blood
For I know this that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you not sparing the flock and
Here's the interesting thing is is Paul
He didn't just say hey look people are gonna come, you know, and they're just gonna not spare the flock he gave a solution
He says so this is what you do and he gave you the verse before and he says you need to feed the flock of
God
Okay, because there will come grievous wolves not sparing the flock. So how how do you avoid that?
How do you keep the flock from being devoured of Satan from being devoured of these false prophets?
You need to feed the flock of God
And look not just with candy either I
Like candy every once in a while, you know, but you can't have candy for breakfast lunch and dinner
You know, you need some meat. You need some vegetables. You need rice. You need beans. I
Can't believe I just said that cuz my wife knows I hate eating beans
Okay, you need you need a balanced diet and you need to know what the Bible says
But that's that falls on the responsibility of the pastor to feed the flock of God and look
I think sometimes even there's pastors there are well-meaning there's sincere people right, but they're not feeding the flock of God
Maybe just for the fact that they're just shallow in their doctrine
They don't know a whole lot or whatever. It may be they need to study up more, but they're not feeding the flock of God
So what happens there's people coming in all kinds of false prophets and they're taking people over there devouring the flock of God
