THE PRODIGAL SON - Part 1 Then He said: “A certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.” Luke 15:11–13

THE LORD JESUS COMMANDED HIS DISCIPLES NOT TO MURMUR… Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves.” John 6:43 Nor murmur, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer. 1 Corinthians 10:10

BLESS, PRAISE AND WORSHIP THE LORD, O MY SOUL, FOR IT IS HE WHO FORGIVES… Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies... Psalm 103:1-4

THE LORD JESUS IS LOOKING FOR FAITHFUL PEOPLE WHO WILL TESTIFY OF HIS RESURRECTION… But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and YOU SHALL BE WITNESSES TO ME, both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Acts 1:8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgement, because the ruler of this world is judged. John 16:8-11

HOW TO FORGIVE AND LOVE WITHOUT FEELING LOVE?… If you love Me, keep My commandments. John 14:15 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him. John 14:21

LOVE, BLESS, DO GOOD, AND PRAY… THAT YOU MAY BE SONS OF YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER… But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:44-48

THUS SAYS THE HIGH AND LOFTY ONE, WHO INHABITS ETERNITY, AND WHOSE NAME IS HOLY… "I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones." Isaiah 57:15 Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30

JACOB’S VOW WAS SUBJECT TO GOD’S ANSWER… Then Jacob made a vow, saying: If God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and give me bread to eat and clothing to put on; and I come back to my father’s house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God; and this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God’s house. And of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You. Genesis 28:20-22

GOD’S AUTHORITY IS SEEN IN EACH OF HIS PROMISES… Heaven and Earth will pass away, but My Words will by no means pass away. Matthew 24:35 He who does not love Me does not keep My Words; and the Word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me. John 14:24 And he asked: “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?” Genesis 27:36

THE GENETICS OF THOSE BORN OF GOD ARE ETERNAL… Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” John 3:5–6 Therefore may God give you of the dew of Heaven, of the fatness of the Earth, and plenty of grain and wine. Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be master over your brethren, and let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, and blessed be those who bless you!” Genesis 27:28–29

Matthew 16:18 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My Word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him." John 14:23 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?

THERE'S NO OTHER WAY: EITHER YOU FORGIVE TO BE FORGIVEN, OR YOU CONTINUE GROANING...

Matthew 6:14–15

FOR IN THESE I DELIGHT, says the LORD. Jeremiah 9:24 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; AND YOU SHALL BE A BLESSING. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Genesis 12:2–3

REVELATION FOR THOSE WHO DESIRE TO UNDERSTAND AND KNOW THE LORD GOD... Thus says the Lord: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him who glories glory in this: that he UNDERSTANDS AND KNOWS ME, that I AM THE LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgement, and righteousness in the earth.
