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…”

May God save us from the present rush.The devil I know is far better than the saint I do not know.These people who are singing Freedom to the ears of the West, frighten me a lot, for obvious reasons: no one knows any of them;they understand that you can win over the West who the average middle Easterner has a chilling hatred gor,by sreaming their voices to coarshness with the refrain, “we want freedoom, we want freedom, we want freedom” to a deafening crescendo to those who jolly well allow temselves to be fooled by these noises.Bet me if they eeventually get what they want through the regretful mistake of the oil minded West, then we will all know we’ve had it – the Islamist will take over and then the clerics will control their minds and put, “Hamasoid” venoms in them. That becomes the end of the road. Gaddafi was brutally changed, Mubarak was eased out and so on. The West would have easily gotten what they want from him than from the so called pseudo deceitful discordant revolutioneries.
We may learn our mistake very costly and too late – by our abandoning those (our friens)who have helped us these decades.REGRETS!!!!

It’s not totally clear what you mean Ezenwa, but to let people fighting for their freedom from a dictator be murdered by that dictator in droves would kill us morally.
And how did you come by your “knowledge” that the average middle easterner has a “chilling hatred” for us?
Not that we haven’t earned some hatred from them by doing the kinds of things you advocate for decades on end.

Sometimes I wish we as a country would just mind our own business and stop trying to put our beliefs on others.
Other countries don’t want to be like us and don’t believe like we do, so what gives us the right to force our ideologies on them?
What if a group of people march on dc and decide to throw Obama out, should other countries help them out by bombing us until he leaves?
Matthew 7:5, Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
I don’t like evil but we have enough evil right here in our own back yard we should be dealing with.
