Hefted

Modern society is an atmosphere of transience and commodification. Mobile, not rooted. As Believers in Messiah we are to be rooted in the things of the Spirit. Yes, we may move. The Lord may have us transition into new settings and new missions. But, the reality is to be the same, we are to be hefted.

Hefted is an English shepherding term. It is a manner where by a sheep knows his place, his home. The home of his birth is an area of upland pasture known as a fell.

This Sunday, Pastor David will teach on the principle of being “spiritually hefted”. No matter what is happening; no matter where the Lord is bringing you; one needs to be accustomed and attached to a Spiritual Home, the Mountain of the Lord. Sheep know the Shepherds voice. Sheep know from where His voice resonates.

Let us be a people of continuity, roots, and a sense of belonging in an age that’s increasingly about mobility and self-invention.

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” John 10: 27-28
