Hello, thank you for joining me today. Hope you had a good weekend and enjoyed your Thanksgiving break.

That title of today's post is Call the Prodigals Home.

Today, we are going to release faith-filled decrees for the return of prodigals to Father's

House.

I have heard numerous words from the Lord over the past few months and years, telling us it is time for this.

Years telling us it's coming. The last several months telling me it's here.

And Holy Spirit has said, the revival we've been expecting has begun.

Let's release our faith for these things.

I want to begin by sharing a little of my story when I was a prodigal running from God.

Pardon me.

The story's taken from my book, The Pleasure of His Company.

It was 1973, and I was attending college, traveling fast, going nowhere.

I'd been running from the Lord for two years, serving the gods of alcohol, drugs, rock and roll.

Though I had been raised in church, dad was an evangelist and then a pastor, and had surrendered my life to Christ at a young age,

at age 17, I began to rebel. The rebellion started when my dad, pastoring at the time,

divorced mom, left our family and married another woman. As you can imagine, our lives were shattered.

Mom, who had been a stay-at-home mom and helped in the church, found a job in a meat market.

My brother and I acquired part-time jobs, and somehow we survived,

at least physically. We didn't fare so well emotionally and spiritually. My brother and I rebelled,

turning away from God and everything associated with him and the church. My younger sister was also emotionally devastated, obviously so was mom.

Deep in my heart, I knew none of this was God's fault. Nonetheless, I was angry at him,

the church and life. The pain was so strong and my confusion so great that I simply couldn't cope with it.
