Shepherd's Heart

Shepherd's Heart

 

Matthew 18:12-20

 

Jesus said to his disciples, If a man has a hundred sheep and loses one sheep, would he not leave the ninety-nine to find the lost one? And if you find that one sheep, you will rejoice more than ninety-nine sheep. In this way, He says that it is Heavenly Father's will that not even one of these little things be lost.

And if your brother commits a sin, you are to counsel him only against him. If the brother hears it, he has the brother, but if he does not listen, take one or two with him to counsel him. If he still doesn't listen, tell the church, and if he still doesn't listen, he says to treat him like a stranger and a tax collector. And whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. And if two people agree on earth to ask, the Father in heaven will answer and promises that where two or three gather in my name, I will be with them.

 

God wants to find and save one lost soul. I hope that we will pray and find the lost sheep, following the heart of the Lord who loved us even to the point of dying for us. So, I hope you find the lost soul and rejoice with the Lord.

 

If your brother commits a sin, you first counsel him against him alone; and if he does not listen, one or two of you are with him to warn him. If he still doesn't listen, tell the church, and if he still doesn't listen, the Lord says to treat him like a stranger and a tax collector. Do not be silent about the brother who has sinned, but advise with patience. That is the way to win the guilty and protect the community. The Lord is with the active dialogue and measures of the church and will help produce good results.

 

Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. I hope to accomplish the history of solving the problems that are bound on earth and solving them in heaven as well.

 

 

If two people agree on anything they ask, my Father in heaven will give it to them, and where two or three gather in my name, I will be with them, the Lord promises. We hope that we will gather together, pray in unison, receive prayer answers, and build a community where the Lord is with us.

 

God, let us find lost souls with Your heart that You don't want to lose even one of these little ones! Let us not be silent about the wrongdoing of the brother who sinned, but let us be patient and counsel! And let us solve the problems tied to the earth! And let us gather together and pray together to achieve prayer answers and a community where the Lord is with us!
