FJWL_02:495
         How are you shepherded? You are shepherded through My Word. I have given you an abundance of guidance and direction so that you will know what is right and what is wrong, what is allowable and what is not, what is of the Spirit and what is not, what is of God and what is not.
         I have given you the Charter that has set the boundaries, so that all will know and all will be judged fairly by the same standard. By this you will know that which is right and that which is unacceptable, that which will keep you, the sheep of My pasture, and that which will not.
         I shepherd you through My voice and through conviction and through speaking to your heart, through the experiences you have, the problems you face. These are all the shepherding of My hand.
         I also shepherd you through your shepherds, those who are there, who see you day by day, who pray for you, who weep for you, who are concerned about you and who wish to give you counsel and guidance and help to keep you moving forward in the right path.
         Do not reject any of this shepherding, whether it be from My Word, from the Charter, from My voice, or from the shepherds who are there with you. All of them are needed, all of them are necessary, and none of them can be neglected. For he that will not receive shepherding is he that will be led astray. (ML #3067)
