HEADSTART for those who do not KNOW or UNDERSTAND in the "WORK"/Spiritual Gift of Pastor. notice God said, "And I will give you pastors according to mine heart". heart is the center of anyone, "Spirit", and God is "Spirit". meaning one must be in, in, in, him in order to WORK.
Pastor are GIVEN in, in, in, Christ Jesus. THIS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING SAVE, BUT THOSE WHO ARE ALREADY SAVED AND ARE IN CHRIST "GIVEN" WORK TO DO, (Just read the parable of the vineyard workers). and this WORK is done by the LORD JESUS, GOD himself, in his BODY. for we are to present our bodies unto the Lord for his WORK, as living sacrifices. supportive scripture. John 10:1 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber." John 10:2 "But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep." John 10:3 "To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out." John 10:4 "And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice." John 10:5 "And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers." John 10:6 "This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them." John 10:7 "Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep." John 10:8 "All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them." John 10:9 "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture." John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:11 "I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." John 10:12 "But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep." John 10:13 "The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep." John 10:14 "I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine." John 10:15 "As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep." John 10:16 "And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd." John 10:17 "Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again." John 10:18 "No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father."
