Christianity Oasis Forum

[realtmg]

Hello to the one who dropped in.
I have had a burden on my heart for some time.
I chose to post in this Forum because the one's that know me know I'm Real.
I look at the member list daily and sees who are new and who comes back. I have seen many come and and stay for a while and then not show up for months, or ever come back.
I ask myself why?
No one really sends me private messages a few know me any more. That's OK because I am here to to watch and pray. I understand I might not be liked by some but I try to do what little I can for this site.
Is there not unity here? Do we not make new members welcome so they will stay. Are we here for our self-seeking pleasure?
Forgive for those to read that I can't help but feel their is not unity as to to God's Pasture here.
Ive been here over 3 years and have been amazed and some so fired up then leave.
I understand we come from different backgrounds and have to keep our attitude in check.
It takes ALL of us to make a Ministry grow and make people feel at home.
Sometimes I go through the member list and see some who have not logged in and send them a note they are missed.
As most know, I am not good at words.
I could go on and on, but I awoke at 3 am with this again on my mind.
I luv you all and please pray that The Holy Spirit will tell us what we need to do and allow ourselves to listen to Him.

I luv ya all!

Hi real

You know my friend...I notice how few even come into the chatroom anymore...even for COOL Church...but what it is...is that the enemy has come in to destroy some...and then others maybe moved for whatever reason...and as for myself...I've been under constant attack by the enemy for over 2 weeks now...making it hard for me to do much except fight the battles going on in my life...as wild as it may seem it's as if the enemy is trying to keep me too busy in battle to be able to find the time I once did to get even into chat.

I also know this...it takes the entire church to build the house and sometimes we just gotta get out there and do what we can to help build the church...reaching for every new soul that comes in...hoping to show them that this is the church the Lord built and will keep...love still abides here...we just need to tap that love...and make it flow freely again as it once did.

luv ya

Know i haven't been doing a whole lot over the past couple of months. I've been watching and have had the same thoughts as you guys. My heart goes out to this ministry tremendously. My thoughts are the enemy is doing his best to ware down many. Seems everyone is constatnly under some kind of a Spiritual attack. Where many including myself backs away, in reality this is when we should be banning together and not drift away.

Love ya all

Hi real...sorry I'm back but have some more I feel led to share...

This has me to thinking today...what happens if we all stand back and watch and don't work as Jesus would have us to?...the sheep leave looking for the attention and love they deserve...

Matthew 4:18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
Matthew 4:19 And he saith unto them. Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Matthew 4:20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
Matthew 4:21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets: and he called them.
Matthew 4:22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.


Notice here that Peter and Andrew were casting their nets...yet James and John were mending their nets...Jesus called them all 4...that's because Jesus knows that he needs some to "cast their nets" or "fish for the lost" whereas some he needs to mend their nets or "sanctify the church...to help it stay equally yoked together in times of struggles.

Guess we got some work to do....the question is...how do we help others get back to work for Jesus...I know right now...the only reason I haven't stopped completely is a couple of members have felt led to keep encouraging me over these past few weeks...a friend told me a week ago...you gotta send a PM in order to get one...maybe we need to go through the list of members and send some PM's and e-mails...maybe if we start by taking the initiative...others will follow...what ya think real?

luv ya

I work 8 t0m10hours a day and on the road for 3. I have a place to keep going also. I do send PM's, just dont post alot.
I'm up at 3:30 looking around here and I look at night. My time is limited as I work in n90 degree temps daily. Look after 5 acres and 2 children( dogs) plus girl has moved back in while going to college
I'm do not get to meet the people and very few know me.
There are many who have the time. I work to support God's pasture.
There has to be people old and new to unite and make Oasis feel WHOLE.


Luv Ya

Yeah...I know the feeling real as I work long hours as well..but thankfully I have a computer at work I can use when I'm not busy...

I agree it's gonna take many to make God's house stand firm...I just went through the memberlist and wrote down the souls who have not logged in since April 30. Out of 522 members....130 have not logged in at all in the month of May.

luv ya

Hello Real brother

We each have our administration. Purpose. Right?

Your spirit is felt. Even when you are not logged in. I've woken in the middle of the night with a strong feeling that Real is watching the pasture. From that time on I knew you watch and pray, and hold Gods people up.

I know some are divided. But what is, is what is. But not necessarily what will be. Possibly it's on your heart because you are the one to stand in the gap. I to pray for the division and unity. But I've let go of it so it doesn't burden me anymore.
