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…”

Long ago the Karaites broke away from “rabbinica”l traditions for the Tanach alone. All scholars agree with the Karaites that the True biblical Jewish New Year is in Abib/Nisan, the same month of Pesach. Sh’mot/ Exodus 12:2 clearly says that HaShem decreed that the month of Abib/Nisan is when New Year takes place. Again, to back this up even further, in Leviicus 23 and Numbers 29 Yom Kippur and Succoth fall in the seventh month of the biblical calendar, not in the first month. Read it and see why the Rabbinical teachings don’t hold up to the biblical texts!! The tradition started when some rabbi misread Exodus 23, where the three annul feasts are mentioned. Some time around Alexander the Great is when Rosh HaShannah started to be observed by the high Jewish court. This mis-guided court disregarded all their holy traditions for their own man-made traditions. In the Mishna, made around 190ce, we see that this man-made custom was well intact and that the biblical text was disregarded by the time the Mishna was penned down. Karaites on the other hand and all biblical scholars know that the biblical New Year is actually in Spring, not at the end of Summer or the beginning of Fall.
In truth, what occurs on this same day 9/8/2010 (after 6pm) to 9/9/2010 (until sunset) is the biblical feast of Chag Teruah (the Feast of Blowing or Trumpets). The reason for its existence are now lost to history, but it was probably instituted for the prep of other two special times later in the month, being Yom Kippur and Succoth.
