Listen "The Prodigal Daughter "
Episode Synopsis
"There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death." (Proverbs 14:12) This verse really sums up the beginning to every prodigal story. Between the nature of our sin, combined with the devil's influence, it really doesn't take much to lure us away from a Godly life. In the end we are all in one way a story of the prodigal. Whether we are led astray for only a short moment, or by a great distance, all of us are in need of the loving grace of God that brings us back to Him.Maybe we are led astray by deception, or maybe we are led away by our own obstinate choices, but one thing is clear, there is a way that leads to death and a way that leads to life, there is no path of neutrality. How a believer is to behave in a reality such as this is found in Ephesians 5:15-16, "Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk — not as unwise people but as wise — making the most of the time, because the days are evil."In the Gospel of Luke, the "The Parable of the Prodigal Son" the moment that turns the son around is when Jesus describes the son as acknowledging the path that seemed right was actually leading to death. "I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you". When the son does return, we find the powerful truth to the words in 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land".This is the story of the prodigal, the one who sees the error of their ways, and RETURNS to their Fathers House. This is the story of your life, my life and the testimony of which we hear in this episode.Whatever you have done or are doing, turn from your ways and return to the enduring love of your Father in Heaven, who rejoices in your repentance. "There will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." (Luke 15:7)
