Ecclesiastes 10:1 (NKJV)
1 Dead flies putrefy the perfumer’s ointment, And cause it to give off a foul odor; So does a little folly to one respected for wisdom and honor.
Leaders..check to see if your anointing has flies in it….flies symbolizes demons…Lucifer is the Lord of the flies. Understand that oil FIRST flows “down” from God and into the Shepard’s hands… He then takes that same oil and covers the sheep’s head to PROTECT it from allowing those same flies (nose flies) from entering in through the nose (which symbolizes a gate to the soul/mind) and entering your brain (evil thoughts).
In nature, Nose flies, if left unattended, actually crawl into a weak, wounded or abandoned sheep’s nose, enters into the brain, lays eggs there and when the maggots hatch the sheep’s brain begins to become infected and worn down (reproducing the mindset of this lost World)…to the point that the sheep frantically begins to bang its head up against the “tree” to temporarily relieve the torment (i.e., drugs, apathy, sex and other forms of escaping issues). A true Shepard has the anointing to (share and protect you) along with his staff (to lift you) and rod (to firmly correct you).
Jeremiah 3:15 (KJV)
15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
Oil (the anointing of the leader or Shepard/pastor) must be pure to be poured out or “preached” to people…in other words the flies have to be removed…foolishness has to be removed, sin has to be removed or else it will fly into the oil and will stink up the church with strange fire.
But before you start clicking “like”, Remember that all of the burden is not on the pastor or leader alone. Sheep (people) must also be willing to allow for the oil to be poured on them (hearing and doing the Word) without leaving or moving!!! (shout right there!)…
Hebrews 13:17 (NASB)
17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you.
Lets all keep the flies away so we can worship, learn, heal and be restored together…now turn to you neighbor and say NEIGHBOR? Shoo fly dont bother me!!!
