Prayer for the sheep and shepherds
Posted: Sun May 28, 2017 8:33 amGreetings,
I ask for prayers ... Many sheep, the Lord leads here each month, are not being fed or tended to by many of the chosen shepherds, of the Lord.
Now, do not get me wrong. There are some who are seeking to reach and teach within the Oasis forums and chat. However ... The burden on the several shepherds who do try, is heavy and even heavier as they watch the sheep come seeking help and after finding none ... Depart. I pray not for complete servitude, but rather I pray for those who are called to HEAR what they are led to do and to PERFORM the doing thereof.
So, my prayer is twofold ...
First ... I pray for the Lord to touch the hearts of the called and chosen shepherds as to enhance His Holy Spirit within those called and chosen to serve in this pasture. Consider talking and working with others of the same mind and heart as to create a welcoming and constantly watched pasture. Give them a place to graze ... AGAIN.
A post here and there in the forums, in an attempt to reach and teach lost and hurting souls, would be righteous. As would sitting in the chat room for a bit here and there (While you do other stuff) as to be there when the new members arrive seeking HOPE. This would restore the Forums and Chat Room and provide an OASIS ... In the Internet wilderness. (As it was before)
It is your calling ... And your call.
Second ... IF the way it has been as of late must be the way it will be, where the sheep come and find no care ... I pray that these lost and hurting souls find the care they so badly need ... Elsewhere.
Not be swallowed up by the worldly whirlwinds.
Mathew 25:31-40
When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory: And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto ME.
NOTE: Read the rest of Matthew, chapter 25 for the outcome of the other path.
Despite whether you were called and chosen to provide Love and share of God's Grace here or yonder ... You should choose to do so.
And if one says "I need not do anything here, I do my God reaching and teaching" elsewhere ... I was just wondering why you were led and continue to visit here. Some of you for over a decade.
The Oasis forums and Chat room used to be a thriving pasture with hundreds of sheep who grazed daily. There were many shepherds who provided care. Then, I am called away for a time as to create other places to reach even more souls.
I return and find ... THIS.
I speak not these words in vanity or anger ... But, rather because I am truly saddened and worry about those sheep who are being led here and finding no care.
THIS ... Is why I make this prayer today.
In Jesus' name I ask ...
May God's will ....... Be done.
Luv all of ya
