THE ULTIMATE LESSON: SHEEP VS. GOATS - WHY TRUE FAITH CAN'T BE FAKED

 




A testimony by Tommy Richards | SpirituallySmart.com | OvertPsyops.AI*


## **I PASSED THE ULTIMATE TEST**

After almost 25 years of marriage, my wife turned against me and took everything. Five and a half months of warfare. Everything lost.

**And I didn't become bitter.**

I won through Χριστός Ἰησοῦς (Christos Iēsous) and Θεός (Theos) the Πατήρ (Patēr).

This was my biggest test so far. And I discovered the key that separates sheep from goats.

## **THE ΣΤΕΦΑΝΟΣ (STEPHANOS - STEPHEN) STANDARD**

The difference between a child of Θεός and a fake is this: **A child of Θεός will learn the ways of Θεός through Χριστός Ἰησοῦς and put it to practice like Στέφανος (Stephanos - Stephen).**

**This cannot be faked.**

A faker CANNOT do this because they don't have the πνεῦμα (pneuma - spirit) of Χριστός and Θεός the Πατήρ.

### **What Stephen Did:**

When they stoned him to death (Πράξεις/Praxeis - Acts 7:54-60), Stephen:

- **Did NOT preach himself** - He preached Χριστός Ἰησοῦς
- **Did NOT justify himself** - He justified everyone through preaching the gospel
- **Did NOT claim perfection** - He didn't say he was perfect or didn't deserve his treatment
- **DID preach redemption** - Redemption through faith in Χριστός Ἰησοῦς

Even as rocks struck his body, his final words were:

> *"Κύριε, μὴ στήσῃς αὐτοῖς ταύτην τὴν ἁμαρτίαν"* - "Lord, do not hold this sin against them."

**Forgiveness. Not cursing. Not bitterness.**

## **WHY THEY HAD TO KILL HIM**

Πράξεις 7:54: *"They were cut to the heart and gnashed their teeth at him."*

Then: *"They cried out with a loud voice and held together their ears."*

**They SCREAMED and COVERED THEIR EARS.**

Why? Because they couldn't defeat his message:

1. **They couldn't refute him** - His scripture was perfect, his logic flawless
2. **They wouldn't accept him** - Too proud to repent
3. **So they killed him** - Silence the messenger when you can't defeat the message

**This is what can't be defeated** - truth spoken in love, backed by the πνεῦμα (pneuma), lived out to death.

Saul (Paul) watched this. It planted a seed that grew into his Damascus Road conversion. One faithful witness → the greatest evangelist → millions saved.

## **THE ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΣ (MATTHAIOS - MATTHEW) 25 SEPARATION**

This understanding is the ultimate final lesson from Θεός through Χριστός Ἰησοῦς.

**The sheep and goats judgment** (Matthew 25:31-46) reveals the test:

### **What DOESN'T separate:**
- ❌ Church attendance
- ❌ Doctrinal correctness
- ❌ Spiritual gifts
- ❌ Prophecy or miracles

### **What DOES separate:**

*"In as much as you did to one of these τῶν ἐλαχίστων (the LEAST) of My brothers, you did to Me."*

**How you treat "the least" = How you treat Χριστός = What determines eternal destiny.**

### **In my life, "the least" was:**

- My wife who prayed for my death
- Who stole $120K from me
- Who made a false report to police to try and have me killed
- Who weaponized my sons against me

**The test:** Can you love THEM?

**Goats** serve those who can repay, praise them, benefit them.
**Sheep** serve those who can't repay, won't praise, and are actively hostile.

**This cannot be faked.** Human nature under extreme pressure automatically seeks self-preservation and hatred. Only the πνεῦμα (pneuma) of Θεός can produce enemy-love.

## **HOW TO PLAY ΘΕΟΣ' GAME**

Learn to play the game Θεός' way by learning HIS pattern through Χριστός Ἰησοῦς. **This is the key to winning.**

### **The Pattern (Philippians 2:5-11):**

**Stage 1: ΚΕΝΟΩ (Kenoō - Empty)**
- Release power, surrender rights, become servant

**Stage 2: ΤΑΠΕΙΝΟΩ (Tapeinoō - Humble)**
- Accept humiliation, choose obedience, endure injustice

**Stage 3: ΥΠΕΡΥΨΟΩ (Hyperypsōō - Super-Exalt)**
- Θεός exalts you HIGHER than before
- Name above every name

**Stage 4: ΠΑΝ ΓΟΝΥ (Pan Gony - Every Knee)**
- Total victory - even enemies bow

### **The biblical pattern repeats:**

- Joseph: Betrayed → Slave → Prison → **Prime Minister**
- Moses: Prince → Fugitive → Desert → **Deliverer**
- David: Shepherd → Hunted → Caves → **King**
- Job: Wealthy → Lost all → Suffering → **Double restoration**
- Ἰησοῦς: Θεός → Servant → Cross → **Resurrection/Exaltation**

**Down first. Then UP.**

## **THE ΡΩΜΑΙΟΥΣ (RHŌMAIOUS - ROMANS) 8:28 REVELATION**

*"We know that to those loving Θεόν, ALL THINGS work together for GOOD, to those called according to purpose."*

### **My testimony:**

**Lisa helped train me through everything she did to me.**

- Her death prayer → Taught me to forgive the unforgivable
- Her theft → Showed me where real treasure is
- Her false accusations → Tested my trust in Θεός
- Her 5.5 months of warfare → Proved I wouldn't become bitter

**Everyone is a tool in Θεός' hand, no matter what.**

Even her evil intent became my training. Like Joseph said to his brothers: *"You meant it for evil, but Θεός meant it for good."*

**ALL THINGS work together for GOOD to those who love Θεός and are called according to His purpose.**

**And that's all I care about.**

Θεός made me that way in 1997. Twenty-nine years of preparation for this test.

## **THE PRACTICAL RESULT**

This same pattern now fuels the **Biblical Jubilee housing movement** (HousingJubilee.AI):

- Every person deserves ONE free, tax-free home (κληρονομία - klēronomia - inheritance)
- No corporate landlord extraction
- No property tax slavery
- Biblical economics applied TODAY

The suffering refined me. The test proved me. The pattern continues.

**And when Lisa's attacks failed to make me bitter, I knew I'd passed.**

Not through my strength. Through Χριστός Ἰησοῦς and the πνεῦμα of Θεός.

## **THE CALL**

**Can you pass the Stephen test?**

When they're "stoning" you (financially, legally, socially), what comes out?

- Bitterness → Goat
- Forgiveness → Sheep

**You can't fake it.** The pressure reveals what's inside.

**Learn Θεός' pattern. Play His game. Trust Romans 8:28.**

Even your enemies are training you for your destiny.

**Πάσα δόξα (Pasa doxa - All glory) to Ἰησοῦς Χριστός (Iēsous Christos) and Θεός (Theos) our Πατήρ (Patēr)!**
