Ten Things Every Dad Should Tell His Son
Luke 15:8-10 “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
We’ve been sitting with the Father, joining Him in His watch. He’s watching and waiting for His prodigals. His eyes scan the horizon just waiting for the first glimpse of His beloved’s return. We are joining Him and praying. He tells us that our prayers are the force necessary to change the hearts of His children. He’s confident that our prayers will avail – so confident that he’s fattening up some of his livestock to prepare for the pending celebrations. He is full of faith.
So, we continue to pray.
I speak to the minds and wills of prodigals and say, “Reject perverse ideas! Stay away from every evil in the Name of Jesus Christ.”
I command doors to open that would bring godly influences into their lives. I slam shut every door of evil influence in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
I take up the call to ferret out the wicked and free Your child from the grip of evil. I call down the powers of addiction in Jesus’ Mighty Name. You must go now. I bind the spirit of pride and arrogance. You must leave in Jesus’ Name.
I ask You, Father, to remove the film over the eyes of the deceived. I apply the Blood of Jesus to these eyes and cry out for mercy. I cry out for justice. I cry out for repentance and returning. May these beloved prodigals once again believe the good news – the good news that You are loving, forgiving, and just waiting to celebrate their return.
Amen
After I prayed this this morning, I looked back at the tree where the Father was waiting, and He was not there, just a few apple cores and a dove. There is a note simply saying, “Be back tomorrow.” He loves it when we wait with Him.
“Okay, Father. See you then.”
In the distance I could hear someone whistling a tune… “Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling…”

I’m sorry, are you Christian? I am confused. You can’t really apply Christianity to this situation. It is nice that Jesus said that but as Jews, it doesn’t mean much in practice to us. That being said, I disagree with the police in Jerusalem and am furious that they are treating Anat like this.
From her friends that were there with her, they were taking the Torah out and up to Robinson’s Arch which they had obtained permission to use to read Torah since they were not allowed to do so on the woman’s side of the Kotel.
I addressed a broader issue here – http://www.patheos.com/community/jewishportal/2010/07/is-this-the-future-israeli-jewish-women-are-doomed-to-live/ – that women are being restricted because men can’t control themselves. How is that fair?

In many religions women are not treated equally- to the point of near if not literally abuse. Women should be treated fairly- not being a Jew but having one for my Boss (Jesus), I cannot fairly comment in a justifiable manner. However, fairness is fairness and certainly that issue should be addressed to a fair or comprised solution equally agreeable to all parties involved. There are plenty
of good Jewish lawyers-so someone get her one!
Jesus was pretty good to women-to the point they actually enjoyed their role as women. Christianity was started by Jesus Christ–but
a lot of men have tainted Christianity with their sexist one-sidedness as to their interpretations of the scriptures. Jesus is the good example that men should follow in example as to how to treat women.
We believe that the great mystery as to how He is God in the flesh is a mystery, and that since God created women, He would want men to treat them fairly. It is stated in the Bible that men’s prayers are hindered because they are not good to their wives. So much for the prayers at the Prayer Wall. How many of those prayers will He answer if those men are not fair to those women? Good blessing to all!

I agree with the comments above that women should be treated fairly even with religious matters. I feel sorry for all the women who were persecuted due to sexist approach of men towards their religious texts.
