And I will give you [spiritual] shepherds after My own heart [in the final time], who will feed you with knowledge and understanding and judgment. End of quote.
Thus? You have given me discernment as I read the Scriptures with Your perspective on who are Your appointed leaders.
Quote:
1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 AMPC+
Now also we beseech you, brethren, get to know those who labor among you [recognize them for what they are, acknowledge and appreciate and respect them all]–your leaders who are over you in the Master and those who warn and kindly reprove and exhort you.
