POINT ONE.THE RESTLESSNESS AND RECKLESSNESS OF THE PRODIGAL SLAVE.
LUKE 15:11-16; PROVERBS 4:16-17; ISAIAH 57:20-21; PSALMS 37:7.
Actually, the prodigal becomes a slave to self, a slave to gambling, he's a slave to confusion, and he's far from the family of God. The prodigal son squandered his life. He gambled his life and lost everything. naturally God gives us what belongs to us, He gives us brain and mind, many people waste all that, He gives us the breathing and by smoking weeds and marijuana, all the brain is affected, many people waste their lives by what they are drinking ,there are people that takes hard drug and they waste virtually their lives. Many people have a fleshly carnal knowledge, they become slaves to everything around and every good things they have work against them and they are reckless, they are reckless the way they gamble their lives and the way they gamble opportunity to get to heaven and they kept on suffering. Today will be your day and all that restlessness the Lord will take away. They are reckless and thoughtless in their actions, in the interaction they have, they are restless and reckless, they must hurt, provoke, annoy, cut and push down somebody. Let all the aggitation in the mind stop, rest in the Lord. God is calling us to rest, He will give you rest. Your restlessness makes you become a slave and you're not free.
POINT TWO. THE REPENTANCE AND THE RESTORATION OF THE PENITENT SUFFERER.
LUKE 15:17-22; HOSEA 14:1-3; JEREMIAH 31:20; EZEKIEL 18:4,14,18,20,30-32.
When we suffer, the suffering will melt our heart and sometimes leads us to repentance. Many of us are suffering, and sometimes the expert will tell you that your problem is your lifestyle or what you're drinking that is damaging your life. Your recklessness, your restlessness, brought this upon you. Put recklessness and shame aside. There's a result of ruining what you're doing tomorrow. Repentance is a personal decision to go back to God. The road you took to become a slave, that road you will take as a penitent sufferer and you will come back home. That's the beginning of turning around in your life. When you begin to repent, the end of your suffering has come. It's your sin that makes you fall into a condition you are today. It's your sin that makes you become like this. We come for mercy, we come for the love of God that never die, we don't come for merit. All the other things we are depending upon in our foolishness can not save us. Thank God tonight, you'll find mercy. No matter how deep you are in that well of destruction, that word of mercy will bring you out. The Lord will surely have mercy upon you tonight. The Lord is saying He remembers you, and tonight is a night of mercy. The solution has come tonight. Your suffering can be taken away right now if you repent. It's not the will of God that ruins you. It is your sin that ruins you, but as you repent tonight, the Lord will show you mercy. The Lord made eternal life for you. When there's mercy and forgiveness, why will you die? You will not die ,God says He's not interested in your death and emptiness, He says repent, turn yourself and live, you will live in bright and assured life IN Jesus Name.
POINT THREE. THE RECOVERY AND REJOICING IN THE PERSONAL SALVATION.
LUKE 18:23-24; PSALMS 51:7-12; 103:1-5; JEREMIAH 17:14
We have direct contact with the Father in heaven and the recovery and the rejoicing. Salvation is personal ,and the salvation of the Lord comes to your soul as you turn away from evil, and you turn to Christ, then you'll have personal evidence of Salvation. Transformation will take place in your life tonight IN Jesus' Name. Your life will bring joy in your family, if you're dead you will come alive, if you're lost you will be found. There's Joy in the new life, there's Joy in recovery, there's joy in salvation, in that rejoicing comes recovery. One day, one night, you're going to get well. All the Father offer now is new life, tonight is the night of your forgiveness, no remembrance of what you've done in the past, healing will come to your life tonight, your time has come, your salvation, your forgiveness has now come. You shall be saved, you shall be healed, your time has now come.
