Jesus said, "I am the Good Shepherd: the good shepherd is the one who lays down his life for his sheep. And there are other sheep I have which are not of this fold, and these I have to lead as well. They too will listen to My voice and
there will be only one flock and one shepherd"
John 10:16

"All the sheep of the forest are mine, so are the cattle on a thousand hills". So I spoke through my servant the psalmist and so I speak to all men and women of all nations and all ages. Nothing created is without My knowledge and loving influence: each child of the Father is as the apple of My eye potential in and through My saving love and enriching life to know, love and serve their Heavenly Father from birth and to and throughout eternity.

How could it be, then, that I should overlook and neglect those of the Father's beloved ones who do not know My Name and are therefore unable knowingly to relate to it? For them also I lived and died and rose again: in them I minister, comfort, console and teach according to the orientation and commitment to that which is shown and to the challenges and responsibilities of everyday life.

I solemnly charge every child of the Father who lives and loves, prays and worships in and through My Name, to recognise in these faithful children of their Heavenly Father their kinship and fellowship in Me. You have it written in Holy Record "a threefold cord shall not be broken": so all who seek and find a deep union of Holy Spirit, in whatever measure, with these faithful ones, commune in depth with Me and so with the Father in and through Our Loving Holy Spirit.
