GO HOME TO YOUR OWN FAMILY!
Wednesday, November 23, 2011
"Come Home Now!"
"'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound ...But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'" Luke 15:27, 32
Is that not your heart's cry and prayer to the Lord today? "Honey, I love you, just come home now or let me come back home now!" Never doubt that this is your Lord's heart desire also. Thanksgiving is tomorrow. I am challenging you to pray and fast, as the Lord leads, for thousands of spouses to come back home every day from now straight through December, January and forever!
I would like thousands of our standers, family and friends to pray together in agreement around the world in the morning and as you lay your head on your pillow at bedtime a prayer:
"Lord, speak to my spouse and all prodigals to repent in godly sorrow which brings them to repentance and deliverance from their sinful lifestyle. You only can return them back to our marriage. Lord You can touch the heart of stone and turn it to a heart of flesh. Lord, You can break the strongholds over my beloved husband/wife and all prodigals. Lord, renew their minds and may they take captive every thought to the obedience of Jesus Christ. Lord, You can set them free from the lying spirit, all lustful thoughts, all anger and unforgiveness as they continue to hold grudges or blame me or others for things in the past. You only, Lord, can set them free from all addictions and believing lies from the enemy. Lord, I pray that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will this very day.
I believe that nothing is too hard for You to do, Lord, and I believe that You are able to do this right now for You to get all the glory and honor the day before Thanksgiving, the rest of November and December, restoring and healing thousands of marriages each and every week. Yes, You can go and set the captives free quickly, now in the Name of Jesus. Lord, You can open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in you. Lord, I praise and thank You in advance for all that You are going to be doing in touching hearts, lives, and restoring so many families around the world for the next several weeks. Lord, I pray that You will give both me and my spouse Your divine wisdom, knowledge, discernment and understanding of how to live a Christ-like life forever. I pray this in the mighty Name of our Lord Jesus. Amen."
"Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you." Jeremiah 32:17
Your Lord wants marriages healthy and strong around the world. Our Lord wants our churches to be the lighthouses for every community. Our Lord wants to send all His hurting children with all their problems to His churches to hear that "Jesus saves and our Lord God has all the answers for all your life problems and marriage problems."
I know the Holy Spirit will be working and speaking loudly to the prodigal spouses and children who are not home with their families. Our Lord will use this Thanksgiving and Christmas time to bring glory and honor to our Lord healing and restoring relationships. May we give our Lord all the praise.
"Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods." Psalm 96:3-4
Our Lord God wants more than anything for ALL His children to repent and live righteously. I do not want you to be dreading the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays. I know your pain that you are going through this very week. May I challenge you to seek the Lord for a new, deeper walk with Him. Your marriage problems, separation or divorce has been a wake-up call for you spiritually. Your Lord wants you to praise Him first, then listen to Him. He wants you to humble yourselves before Him, seeking His face, and His plan for your future. God hates divorce. He wants you to surrender your life to Him, so that He may rebuild, restore and reconcile your marriage. That is God's perfect plan. He wants you to build an ark for your family as Noah did. He wants you to stand for your marriage forever!
Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:6-9
Your Lord God is asking you to sacrifice your life to serve Him. Walk with the Lord and Savior daily. You may be thinking or your family may be pushing you to "Get on with your life, or quit, nothing is happening. They are never going to change." Your friends and Pastor may tell you what to do, but I ask you what has the Lord asked or told you to do? I know that I was wrong by divorcing Bob. Due to my own sinfulness, my disobedience complicated my marriage being restored. Many of you were like me at that time; self-righteous, stubborn, defiant, unsubmissive, unloving to your spouse and even rebellious with pride wrapped all around you. You may even have other broken or unhealthy relationships with your other family members. Please pray that the Lord will help restore those relationships through the Holidays this year.
Let’s pray this Thanksgiving and Christmas time that ALL prodigals will be obedient to the Lord's wooing. God is talking to each of us all the time. Let us pray that your husband or wife will listen and obey the Lord through the next six weeks
May you be like the prodigal son's father who prayed, waiting and watching for his son to return home to their family. Now may you accept the challenge and start praying for your beloved husband or wife and ALL prodigals around the world the rest of November and December. Pray that your prodigal's heart will be touched by your Lord and they will "Come home to the Lord and to you for the holidays."
Be blessed,
Charlyne
