Lost Sheep

Have you ever wonder what should you do with the lost sheep? Would you think of to bring the lost sheep back? Sometimes I just wonder how to bring back the lost sheep. Bible indeed give us a clear picture that we should not give up the lost sheep. We should go and search back the lost sheep and bring them back. What should we do???

HAIZ.... Just recently, I get to talk to a lost sheep. Is been a long long time this lost sheep lost direction. And does not come back to us at all. I'm wondering, why would this lost sheep don't want to come back. So this lost sheep told me that there is something really hinder to come back to us. So this lost sheep said that can't really feel God's presence and can't really hear from God. I got STUN!! Thought for a while, what is actually that stop this lost sheep from feeling God's presence? What do you think??

One more thing is this lost sheep can't really hear what God is telling. What should I do?? Is kinda lost direction. I think I will need to do something to bring this sheep back. Otherwise will be too late. Then I should sing "Is too late to apologize..." Hahaha.... Any suggestion??

eh, next time u go sing that song, ask me along la

It's too late to apologize~!

anyway, try to jsut talk to him and care? and try to see how he is living his life?

sin always disrupts us from listening to God you know..

not to say da lost sheep is living a sinful life, we all are in fact.. just that, there should be something major hindering him?

perhaps bring him to deep n strong?

erm.. maybe wat victor say is correct also.. but for me, if u wan hear God, of course u can.. but how much u understand God?? so tat u can hear from Him? He maybe already speak to u, jz u cant hear Him, coz u don know Him much.. in fact i always stress on read bible n pray is very important, although is jz a simple n basic for us in our spiritual life..

anyway, if u told him like tat i don know he can accept or not le.. so maybe try bring him to deep n strong, let him "poke" soome name on top of the cross la.. hope it help.. only think i can suggest is,, pray be4 u do any action. coz God is greater than all prob..

thz God~ God bless,
Hing.
**hope it helps u**

Most of the time, when a person says he cannot feel God, it is spiritual. There might be something that is blocking him from God's touch. Sin, unforgiveness, refusal to breakthrough...

There are 101 ways to skin a cat, but if all that done without prayer, then where does the equation put God?

hmm.. can't feel God's presence and can't really hear from God.. I think that's just excuses. I mean, it's a person's heart. If he/she does not seek God or have the desire to know Him & have a closer relationship with Him, going to church or not going to church is the same. The only difference is probably going to church makes you feel better. & God's presence is not limited to just churches. God can touch us no matter where we are.

hmm.. maybe ask your friend if he/she really want to have/allow God into his/her heart/life. If he/she really desire God, then maybe ask if he/she wants to join you guys for church/share group? I guess, let the person know that you & the church are always praying for him/her? & also, I think you shouldn't carry this burden alone. share it with your group, get them to know that person & vice versa, so that all of you can work towards the same goal?

All the best & God bless!

p/s: I also agree with the other four comments (:

Relationship~ Sometimes, when a person feels him or herself wanting to hinder from church, not necessarily is spiritual i think. Could be the relationship that causes the person to not feel like attending the particular church. Much been said before me. Sin is part of it. To me, just keep encouraging and build up the relationship. Prayer is of course the fundamental. Keep praying bro! God will show you the way~
