Here is a broken and a tender unfolding of the relationship the Lord is working between shepherds and sheep. This is the beginning of the step that puts the yoke on shepherds so that they can carry the burden of the sheep. “We Are All Sheep” and “…He Will Tend His Flock” are an inseparable pair of tapes to launch effectively the overseeing shepherd ministry that releases the apostolic ministry to the higher functioning. (50 min.)

August 14, 1979 Tuesday Aft. Shiloh
The scope covered Kingdom principles and understanding of the transitions we are in and the principles of confirmation that eliminate an ecclesiastical tribunal such as was common in the Church age. Deep resistance was felt to the word as it came, but there was a determination to hear the word that would bring about this transition. The devastation we’ve experienced is pointless without our dedication to the Kingdom. (84 1/2 min.)

This is how a church, a school, medical center, nurses, pastors and elders learn to relate and flow as one in the Kingdom of God.
