“I think about the prodigal son a lot in my life..I think Lord why would he want to leave everything..when he had it all..as if to say something was missing..or he was not living it well the life that he thought he needed to be living..because this son had everything in life that life could had given to him..he was a blessed son to say the least..Amen..but one day he decided that he wanted his part of his fathers inheritance and that he was leaving and going to go about his own way and his own pathway..the bible says he went into far country..and he did just that..I’m sure you all know the story..Luke 15:11-32..Amen..but I still can’t for the life of me understand why he did such a thing..when all was good for him and his life..but as well I think about us and I think about many in my life who’s been very close to me that has done the same thing..I mean they could have a lovely home..fantastic family..a wonderful career..and still somehow end up leaving it all and them as well journeying off into some far country..into this place that they’ve never been before..looking for something..not to sure what was missing..but it amazes me at how quickly this happens in the lives of them ones in whom have everything..but still somewhere there missing something..so they think..or there missing out on something so they feel..Amen..and they up and leave it all..and in turn end up just as that prodigal son..they end up in a pig pin of their lives so to speak..worse off than they’ve ever been in their lives..Amen!”

“But for some they didn’t make it back home to the Fathers house..for others they did come to themselves and they gathered up themselves and went home..Amen..but guys isn’t it wonderful that when we may end up a prodigal that Jesus welcomes us back home..that if we get off course that He is there to pick us up and wrap His arms around us and welcome us in..Amen..but no one ever thinks to themselves they will end up there in the wilderness of life..that they walk away from their lives to seek out some new one..no one ever decides in this instant moment that they’re gonna leave it all to pursue something new..Amen..it kind of just happens..and it happens fast sometimes..but guys I do pray that if any of us are there in a moment of being a prodigal that we truly sit down and count the cost of it all..for as I said for many they do come to themselves..but many never did and so they lost it all..so know who you are in Christ..know that the closer we get to Him the further we get away from the world and all the enticing things that are out there trying its best to lure us away from Christ Jesus our Lord..and all that He has for us and our lives and our worlds in which we live..Amen!”

“So whatever you do make sure you seek godly counsel in your life..make sure you stay where you need to be at in your life..and do your best to listen to the leading and the guiding of the holy ghost..for he will never lead you in the wrong way of life..and stay sensitive..because if not careful we can become reprobate..and we hear nothing..even when the Lord is continually speaking and showing many signs..we will miss it because we are not hearing or not as sensitive as we once was..Amen..so know that the enemy is very sly..and he is a liar and the father of them all..John 8:44..for you and I are not missing anything in this world..everything we have need of we already have..Amen..and if you’ve already been there and done that than believe me your missing nothing at all..for nothing has changed nor does it ever change..the enemy just wants you to believe that it has..but it hasn’t..so be wise for your adversary as of a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour..1 Peter 5:8..and my heart and my prayer is that he is not devouring anywhere on you or me and our lives in which we live..so be prepared for his schemes..and be prepared for battle..for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against the rulers of the darkness of this world..so put on the armor of God the whole armor and fight your fight..Ephesians 6:11-18..and run your race and finish your course..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
