There are true pastors, capable to bring us to pasture. Unfortunately, there are others, not capable to do this. And most unfortunately, there are also wolves in sheep’s clothing, abusing the name of Christ, trying to rob you. Observe,   https://www.faithwriters.com/article-details.php?id=208985

The WORD of God is a miracle. It contains treasures under treasures.

Observe, as example, the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10. Use only King James

Bibles.

And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

26He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

27And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

28And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

29But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?30And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

33But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

34And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

36Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

37And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

The above straight and open text contains a beautiful and obvious, clear, message.

 But consider another message, less visible, under the above text.

 A man, as a symbol for humanity, proceeds from Jerusalem, the city of the King, to Jericho, the city of perdition and sin. This is indeed a description of what is happening to mankind.

 In the process thereof the forces of Satan attack and grievously injure humanity. A Priest observes the injured victim and crosses to the opposite side of the road. Some say, maliciously, he already saw there was nothing left to rob.

The above Priest stands for all false religions. The greatest department that Satan has is the department of religions. The above Levite stands for all who proclaim the law, but do not practice what God commands.

The Samaritans were despised by the Jews. Nevertheless, the Samaritan has compassion on the victim. By and large, mankind despises the LAWS of God.

 The despised Samaritan represents Christ Jesus, the only one who has compassion and cares for such as us.

The two pence (two pennies) represent the salary of a Roman soldier for two days. Some say, each day represents a thousand years for God. Is Jesus saying, he will return in about 2000 years (2033 AD plus)? Until then, true “neighbors” are encouraged to help each other.

The third step for a Pastor, would be to examine whether there are CODES hidden under the clear text of Luke 10: 25-37

For those who never examined Gods Codes and Messages in depth, observe

Continue the miracle of God’s Word at least a little further:

Dear Reader, the future of this poor world is appearing more and more in an apocalyptic setting. But we still have a mind-boggling treasure accessible, available, directly before us.

With infinite love God gave us a Savior, to pay our penalty and a Bible, a guide and light on our path! The Bible is a love story; written with blood, upon a wooden cross; the story of God's love for you.

Men are not lost because they are sinners; THEY ARE LOST BECAUSE THEY HAVE REJECTED THE JESUS OF THE BIBLE, who died for them. If you are not yet completely committed to Christ, know that our Savior needs to be invited. He is a gentleman. He knocks on the door of your heart (innermost being). Everybody can have the other one (Satan) automatically; that one never knocks. He pushes his way.

Any CONCEIVABLE sacrifice is worthwhile to find the BIBLICAL Christ Jesus and to belong to Him. If you want Him, pray now with me, "DEAREST LORD JESUS, FORGIVE ME MY SINS. I REJECT ALL NON-BIBLICAL RELIGION. COME INTO MY LIFE AND BE THE RULER OF MY LIFE. HELP ME TO LOVE YOU MORE EVERY DAY AND TO OBEY YOU WITH ALL MY STRENGTH AND TO READ YOUR BIBLE DAILY, EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE."

If you do this, and mean it, with an open heart, this prayer will never fail. It will become the greatest thing you will ever have, and it will last forever. Even in this life it will be the greatest happiness you'll know, and a light upon your path. Conversely, to FAIL in this, it will be the GREATEST DISASTER you will ever have, both here and hereafter.

Something most especial is waiting for those who seek the immense goodness of our Lord. God Himself said, that "The ear has not heard, and no eye has ever seen, neither can man even imagine the HAPPINESS which God prepared for those who love him" (1 Cor. 2:9, paraphrased, if you please).
