What does SheepShed mean?
It is a Shed for “Lambs & Sheep.” An enclosure affording Shelter
For Jesus’ Sheep! A Shelter where they may go in and out
and find Pasture.
“If you love Me, feed My Sheep!”
“If you love Me, feed My Lambs”
“As the Father Sent Me; Evenso, Send I you.”

   This series of Lessons will be partly taken from Brother Morris
Cerullo’s teachings, a seasoned Saint in knowing the warfare of God’
s End-Time Plan. Both my sister, Jackie, and I learned most of our
warfare from sitting under his teaching, eventhough he did not know
either of us by name. It was in one of Brother Cerullo’s Conference
Meetings… that I received the Anointing Oil of Heat on my
forehead, which was administered by an African Brother! As I grew
in the Lord the heat grew hotter and hotter, then the same anointing
settled in my right ear. As a matter of fact, it is burning very hotly
even now as I write these words. If you have questions, be free to
ask. Please enjoy the series. In these lessons you will find
SheepShed Commentary mixed with Brother Cerullo’s outlined
teaching. You may watch Brother Cerullo on the Inspirational
Channel and Help Line on Angel One.

“KNOW WHO YOU ARE”

JESUS FACED THE ENEMY FROM A POSITION OF
KNOWING HE WAS THE SON OF GOD
“As, think about this word, ‘AS.’ The Father and Yeshua, Jesus
were One! Jesus told us that He and His Father are One. “He that
has seen Me, has seen the Father also.” The Father and the only
begotten Son, by the Holy Spirit dwell in the born again believer, this
is Their TEMPLE, Their DWELLING PLACE by the Holy Spirit!
“You must be born again,” stated Jesus, this is the very first step,
being little lambs, but
becoming full-grown productive Sheep, after His kind. “Greater is He
2

who is in you, than he who is in the world!” From within you comes
the wisdom of knowing!

One of the powerful strategies Jesus used to defeat Satan and live
His life in one hundred percent victory was He faced the enemy
from a position of knowing. Yeshua, Jesus knew who He was! And
the Lord Jesus wants you and I to know who we are without
wavering. Just stop and think about it…see yourself facing demonic
powers; then coming to your mind and rising-up in your spirit, you
know that God Himself is rising in you, and He is the greater power
in binding the strongman’s house! You will not give him an inch; you
steadfastly hold your ground and plunder his house…taking the
spoils!

Put This In Your Knower
Jesus faced every trial, every temptation, every circumstance,
KNOWING that when He spoke, whatever He said would come to
pass. He did not wonder. He did not doubt. He knew! This is the
teaching He learned from His Father, and the exact same teaching
that He taught His disciples…and for them to teach you and I also.
1)        Jesus knew who He was.
2)        Jesus knew His calling
3)        Jesus knew the will of Yahweh God
4)        Jesus knew where He was from
5)        Jesus knew where He was headed.

The fact is, when we face the enemy head-on, and, as we face our
daily life, we must remember and know as Jesus did, “where we are
from!” Jesus knew Heaven’s army of angels were, backing Him
night and day! Jesus was an alien, a foreigner invading Earth as the
second Adam-man. We are now aliens here on earth, our citizenship
on earth has been transferred to Heaven where all power and
authority has been given to the LORD Jesus, both in Heaven and in
Earth…therefore go, and remember who is behind you and at your
right hand that you may not be moved; for it is the Masters
command, “if you love Me, you will keep My commandments.”

Listen, God has planned for you and me to face our trials,
temptations
3

and circumstances…every attack of the enemy, regardless of which
country or culture we were physically birthed into…from the SAME
powerful position of victory that Jesus Himself had and KNEW.

Say aloud: I am part of God’s end-time plan. God has not planned
any defeats for me! And He really hasn’t! “All things work together
for good to those who LOVE God and are called according to His
purpose/plan!” Not my plan, my purpose, Saints; but we should be
growing brighter and brighter in His Glory, for we cannot win the
battle against the enemy ‘by’ the flesh, but in it, yes!!! “Not by
power, nor by might, but BY MY SPIRIT,” saith the LORD!

Yeshua, Jesus Was The Express Image of God
Though Jesus was born of a woman, in the form of human flesh, He
was also the express image of God. The Apostle, in writing to the
Hebrews, described Yeshua as “being the brightness of His (God’s)
glory, and the express image of His person:”
“God in these last days has spoken to us by His Son,
Whom He has appointed heir of all things,
By whom also He made the worlds; Who being
The brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person,
And upholding all things by the word of His power,
When He had by Himself purged our sins,
Sat down on the right hand of the
Majesty on high”
                                               Hebrews 1:1-3

Jesus, Yeshua was the “brightness” of God’s glory! We are to be the
“brightness of His glory as we grow. Underline the word “glory” in
this verse. The word “glory” here is translated from the Greek word
“doxa” which refers to “all that God has and IS!” He is “The I AM!”

In the form of human flesh, Jesus was a reflection of God’s
glory…all that He has and is. The glory of God shone forth and was
manifested both in Jesus’ character and in the things He did…this
glory was His EVIDENCE, HIS WITNESS of Him! O, my forehead
is burning, Saints!!!! What does that mean? It means that He is
bringing us into this same manifestation of glory…in order to walk as
He walked!
4

If Yeshua had to walk in God’s glory to defeat Satan’s kingdom;
what makes the Body of Messiah think that we are able to do it by
fleshly methods, I ask you? This “glory,” from Paul’s body, entered
into his clothes and handkerchiefs, which healed the sick! It was in
Jesus’ garments, and flowed through his fingers and hands, resided
in His words. It is the Kingdom of Heaven that has come to Earth!
The angels are clothed in this Shekinah glory! “Without Me,” said
Jesus, “you can do nothing.”

I shall quote these scriptures in Matthew’s account again of the Lord’
s “TRANSFIGURATION” since it has great meaning for us in this
study.
This word is a key that is going to explode into powerful revelation.
It is translated from the Greek word which signifies a “CHANGE.”
It is taken from the Greek word “morphi” which refers to “an
outward expression which proceeds from and is representative of
one’s ‘inward character’.” Children, do you understand what this is
saying, explaining? Let us read now the record:
   Three of Yeshua’s disciples were privileged to actually see an
outward, physical manifestation of God’s glory shinning and
radiating from Jesus’ body. Jesus took Peter, James and John with
Him up into a high mountain to pray. While He was praying, He was
transfigured before them Matthew 17:1-6.
   Jesus’ face began to shine as bright as the sun and His clothes
became white as light. Moses and Elijah appeared and began talking
with Him. Suddenly a voice was heard from the heavens, “This is
My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear Him” verse 5.
   What an awesome sight to behold! Right before their eyes, Jesus
was transfigured…His outward expression ‘changed’ before them. In
other words, the God-Image-Glory that was within His flesh, broke
through, or pierced the veil of His flesh, His outer-man, and allowed
the disciples to see Who was working the works of God! “But by
My Spirit,” saith the Lord;” do you see it? do you understand it?
have you a revelation of it, yet? We, Children, are being called into
the High Calling for the last day Warfare and Harvest; we will need
the extra oil! This is hard to believe…but let us continue.
   The Shekina(h) glory proceeding from Messiah’s body was His
inward character shining through and making visible the invisible
God.
It is this invisible God “that works in you to will and to do of His
good
5

pleasure…forming the new creation!” Saints, people today are tired
of seeing and hearing fleshly Christians. The world wants
desperately to see the real Jesus! How is it possible for a man to be
the “exact image” of God, as Yeshua was and is?

Paul said, “I travail in birth again…until Christ is formed (‘morphi’
transfigured) in you! THAT IS PART OF OUR DESTINY!
   Manifesting Messiah Jesus, not manifesting our talents and fleshly
entertainments! These will not bring the manifest glory!
   The Apostle Paul shared with us how to run the race to win this
High Calling: “I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest,
when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified
(unfit, rejected silver)” 1 Corinthians 9:27. Then in chapter 10 Paul
goes on to explain why the history of Israel was written for our
admonition… eventhough they all were baptized into Moses, they
displeased the Lord in their rebellion against Yahweh God, and the
many were killed. Paul stated it was a warning to us!
   He will remove His Spirit and His anointing…this example is
running ramped among the Apostates today! This being one of the
reasons we are seeing so much fleshly preaching and
entertainment… because the Holy Spirit has lifted, but ministries
continue on without the Evidence! Jesus called it HYPOCRACY, we
say, we teach, but we do not do! The only remedy? Repentance!

Yeshua, Jesus Is Heir Of All Things
In the Old Testament the term “firstborn” was a title given to the
first child born into a family. The “firstborn” child was given a
privileged position of superiority.

“Jesus, who is the image of the invisible God, the “firstborn” of
every creature; For by Him were all things created, that are in
Heaven, and that are in Earth, visible and invisible,
Whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities,
Or powers: All things were created by Him,
And for Him: And He is before all things,
And by Him all things consist.”
Colossians 1:15-17
As the firstborn of every creature, Yeshua existed before all creation.
6

He was with God from the beginning. It was through Him the
universe was brought into existence. As firstborn He held a position
of superiority over all creation. And as so, God appointed Him
heir…legal owner…of all things Hebrews 1:2. As legal heir of all
things, Christ had the supreme place of power and authority in the
universe.

Yeshua, Jesus “Knew” He Was The Son of God
And He Wants Us to Know who We are Too!
Yeshua, Who was with God in the beginning; stripped Himself, laid
aside His glory…His divine abilities and came to earth in the form of
human flesh, in order to create in Himself a New Man (Adam), a
new Race of people. He did not take on the form of angels, to
redeem the fallen watchers, but fallen man! He was made a little
lower than the angels…for a little while; but now after the CROSS,
the host of angels all, were made subject to Him Hebrews 1-2.

When the Most High God, overshadowed Mary, the incorruptible
Seed, Jesus Christ, was placed in Mary’s womb by the Holy Spirit.
At the appointed time:
A little Seed lightly drew its breath,
Nine steps or less or more from Mary’s door,
And,
God stood aside, and watched Himself go by,
Among the lands, the winds, above the seas!
“But when the fullness of time was come, God “Sent” His Son,
made of a woman, made under the law” Galatians 4:4. Jesus said as
He was coming into the world, “A body You have prepared for Me”
Hebrews 10:5. Then, God stood aside and watched Himself go by!
“He that has seen Me, has seen the Father also, the Seed said” John
14:9.
    In Strategies Part Two, we will learn about the Body, the Word
& the BLOOD (the weapons of warfare) for His children! For
without the BLOOD we have no weapon with which to overcome!
“And they (the Saints) overcame him (the Accuser) by the BLOOD
of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not
love their lives to the death” Rev 12:11.             We leave you in His
care,
   Shalom, SheepShed, Sent
