A SPECIAL EDITION OF THE SHEPHERDS WITHOUT BORDERS LIGHTHOUSE BUGLE MAGAZINE !!! MAY 1, 2012

Now as the Promise Keeper and Good Shepherd, He is speaking to us now about the third promise of Isaiah 58:12 – the promise of repairing the breach, which is restoring the hope of our calling within us. He is the Promise Keeper who brings forth His promises and now the good shepherds who feed people on the knowledge of God, which will be described in the encounter below.

The Encounter: Digging Up Good Shepherds/Repairing the Breach of the Hope of Our Calling Bob has had repeated dreams, with a reoccurrence about a week ago, of digging up gold with the Lord and as they dug, the gold turned into Jeremiah 3:15 good shepherds who would feed people with the true knowledge of God in all of life. To truly enter His hope and promises, and walk into a New Hope Filled Operating System and the promises of Isaiah 58:12, God is digging up His good shepherds who will lead us to our fields and areas of promise in rest.

In the dream these good shepherds had to be unearthed, dug up. They had been buried in dirt and the dirt weighing them down had to be removed. As they were uncovered and raised up Bob saw these good shepherds restoring inheritance and repairing the breach in the hope of our calling in Him, which is the third promise of Isaiah 58:12. These good shepherds will feed people an expanded and healed view of God that will repair the breaches in our souls, fulfilling the promise that God, the Good Shepherd, will care for our souls.

God is fulfilling specific promises for us in 2012 as we hope in Him and focus on His face as the redemptive, hopeful Promise Keeper in our lives. The good shepherds He is bringing forth, led by the true Good Shepherd will lead us from the Hosea 2:15 Valley of Achor through the door of hope, the hope of our calling in Him. A New Hope Filled Narrative: In the dream the Lord has a different perspective, a new narrative for us. There is a new narrative of hope breaking forth across the horizon of our lives in this time. God is changing the identity of people in this hour, taking them into an Isaiah 60 "arising and shining" with the light that has come to restore the hope narrative of our lives as He did with Esther who was a powerless orphan that He made into a queen and David who was the least of his family that He made into a shepherd king, after God's own heart. In the same way the Good Shepherd is restoring the hope filled narrative of our lives as well.
