The Father is Recovering His Lost Children

by Mary Meile

Are you STILL carrying around bondage, hopelessness, and a hardened heart? The Father of Heaven is recovering his lost children and he has been calling you. There are many that know this already but are still standing in the SAME place. You have heard him calling and the Spirit of God has been convicting you; however, you have not taken any action to move closer towards him. Time is running out as the hour is late for those standing in the valley of decision. Come, let go, and give God control of your life and burdens to Jesus Christ. Run into his arms and ways: from self centered to Christ centered, from worldly possessions and pleasures that fade away to the kingdom ways that are eternal and full of joy and peace.

I had a lost family member tell me, God does not expect you to give up your life for him. He wants you to be happy! Is that the gospel of Christ Jesus? No, that is the mindset and teaching of the secular world; which is not the way of Jesus Christ. What I heard from the LORD immediately after my conversion was that I am now a new creation in Christ Jesus! He said to be separate and set apart; do not be about pleasing man, that is the source of all trouble, please God only. This is a new way of life and truth, a new creation and life in Jesus Christ. The old has gone and the NEW man and nature is what I am now clothed in, in his righteousness and character.

Praise God for my day of salvation for I was truly lost and wrapped up in the world and in my own selfish ambitions, wants and needs.  Mary was first, now I am second. I was dead, now I am alive, I was in darkness, now I walk in the light of the living God, I was in bondage, now I am free from past hurts; I was in sickness, now I am healed and not in bondage to the body or fear of disease. No more place for the lies of Satan. I had a veil of deception over my head as my mind was deceived and foggy, my eyes were half open and now I see and hear the voice of Life and Truth, my Shepherd, Jesus Christ; leading and guiding me to abundant life in him. WOW. You can have the same thing. Just ask and take it! The Father is calling you right now and will bring you back to him. He wants to do it for you.  Just lift your voice to him now and ask him to recover you from anything that is holding you back from him and his ways. He loved you first! He chose you first! He will lead you.   

When we enter in with Jesus we MUST expect to abandon and give up our lives so we may have life abundantly! In a certain manner, we drink of the cup of suffering. We are called to surrender our will to his will, submit and obey his principals and precepts of truth, righteousness, and justice. I pray that you will lay down selfish ambitions and the desire for more worldly things. Stop being a pleasure seeker and be a Jesus seeker! Start being a light to your family, community, and nation. Be a change agent for the living God of the universe. His way brings a new life while we are still on the earth AND an everlasting life after we leave this world. That is the truth and the other way leads to destruction, death, and hell. Forever separated from the love of God. That is the truth. Who do you chose today life in Christ Jesus or death to sin and Satan? You can have everlasting life in Jesus Christ as his blood and the cross has reconciled you back to the Father. Choose Jesus Christ. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.    

Blessings!
