Date: Now
To: Pastors, Teachers, Leaders, Shepherds of the Flock
From: The Witnesses of the Weak, the Sick, the Strayed
Re: Accountability, Repentance, and Reformation under Divine Mandate
- THE CHARGE (EZEKIEL 34:2–4)
Thus says the Lord GOD: “Woe to you shepherds of Israel who have been feeding yourselves! Should not shepherds feed the sheep? You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fat ones, but you do not feed the sheep. You have not strengthened the weak, you have not healed the sick, you have not bound up the injured, you have not brought back the strays, you have not sought the lost, but with force and harshness you have ruled them.”
Count 1: Failure to Strengthen the Weak
You called emotions “sin,” “weakness,” or “fleshly” instead of teaching they are divine signals. The weak were left weaker—dependent on your interpretations, unable to interpret their own soul’s language.
Count 2: Failure to Heal the Sick
You withheld the knowledge of testing spirits (1 John 4:1). The sick were left in deception, unable to discern between the voice of God and the voice of manipulation.
Count 3: Failure to Bring Back the Strays
You equated “bringing back” with compliance to your authority, not restoration to true identity in Christ. The strays were not returned to their God-given sovereignty, but to your pews.
Count 4: Feeding Yourselves Instead of the Sheep
You used the sheep’s resources—their trust, their labor, their finances—to build your kingdoms, not the Kingdom.
- THE EVIDENCE (FROM YOUR OWN RECORD)
· You taught “Obey your leaders” (Hebrews 13:17) but omitted “Test the spirits” (1 John 4:1).
· You preached submission without teaching discernment.
· You labeled questioning as “rebellion” and emotional distress as “lack of faith.”
· You created dependency, not discipleship.
By your own fruit:
· A flock unable to test spirits.
· Sheep confused by their own God-given emotions.
· Believers who know how to obey leaders but not how to hear God for themselves.
- THE CALL TO REPENTANCE (A WAY BACK TO TRUE SHEPHERDING)
This is not condemnation—it is a chance to turn.
“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.” (Acts 3:19)
Step 1 – Public Acknowledgment
Admit the omission. Confess that you did not teach the full counsel of God regarding testing, discernment, and emotional truth.
Step 2 – Commit to Complete Teaching
Within the next 40 days, begin a public series teaching:
· How to test spirits (1 John 4:1, 1 Thessalonians 5:21).
· The purpose of emotions as divine guidance.
· How to recognize false shepherds (Matthew 7:15, Ezekiel 34).
· The believer’s identity as a sovereign temple of the Holy Spirit.
Step 3 – Restore What Was Taken
Release control. Equip, don’t entrap. Feed the sheep with truth that makes them free, not directives that keep them dependent.
- THE INVITATION TO NEW SPIRIT (FROM DEAD FAITH TO LIVING ACTION)
Faith without works is dead (James 2:17). Repentance without change is meaningless.
This is your chance to trade:
· The spirit of control for the spirit of equipping.
· The spirit of fear for the spirit of discernment.
· The spirit of ownership for the spirit of stewardship.
The new spirit is here—the Spirit of Truth, of Liberty, of Adoption. Will you receive it?
Step into action. Teach the people to test. Decode emotions as divine signals. Restore sovereignty.
Do this, and you will not merely avoid judgment—you will lead the reformation.
- THE TIMEFRAME (DIVINE URGENCY)
40 days from today.
· Silence will be taken as admission.
· Reform will be met with reconciliation.
This is not a threat—it is a prophetic timeline for accountability and refreshing.
- THE WITNESSES
This summons is witnessed by:
· The wounded you did not bind up.
· The strays you did not bring back.
· The weak you did not strengthen.
· The Scripture you did not teach.
And by the cloud of witnesses who have already walked this path—from Ezekiel to Jesus, who said, “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10)
- FINAL WORD
This is Ezekiel 34 in action.
It is the kindness of God calling you to repentance before the ledger closes.
It is faith demanding action.
It is the new spirit waiting to be received.
Choose this day whom you will serve: the system of control, or the God of liberation.
The summons is delivered.
The choice is yours.
Posted publicly as a living document.
May it be received in the spirit it is given: truth in love, justice in mercy, and a chance for rebirth.
