I went to a service a few years back at the Bethesda Evangelical Church in a town called Helensburgh in Scotland. We studied the parable of the prodigal son, and I am still touched by one passage:

20So he got up and went to his father.

"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

While he was still a long way off, his father saw him. That's how I see God now - my Father in heavan who, despite my rebellion against him, despite my sin, would stand at the end of His driveway *every day* to watch out for me - and would see me even when I was a long way off. And as He saw me trying to approach Him, He ran to me and embraced me.

And I told him:

'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.

And yet despite this truth He has bestowed upon me more blessings and more peace and more revelation this past week than I might dare count:

"But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.

My message to the people on these boards, praise Him today in prayer and in worship for bringing me back to life!

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, His love endures forever.

Blessings all

Nik

How beautiful and moving, Nik!

I agree!!

So yeah, I'm now a Christian.

Any questions?

I've been on this board for about 5 months, Nick if I may call you that, and to be honest never really thought you would based on your posts. I forgot one thing. G-d can do anything!

Welcome my brother! :)

G-d bless,

sc

ScientificDisciple......ScientificServant

Prefer the former - I've always hated the fact that my initials were "SA" (or "Sturm Abteilung", the gymnastic wing to the Nazi Party) - I don't want that to change to SS (the Nazi Secret Police, if anything, worse than the SA).

:)

traveller,

Thanks dude - that means a whole lot to me! I didn't know people cared all that much - it's *just* me!

All the best,

Nik

I feel the same way, Nik, but I halfway expected it that's why I never argued with you.

Welcome to the Kingdom of Light

I think people must be re-reading it over and over because they just don't believe it yet - it'll sink in eventually :laugh:

You think that's funny - you should have seen my first reaction (what I posted was my "calmed down" reaction!)

No kidding, I was crying out,

"NO WAY!! NO FREAKIN' WAY!!!!!!"

"No, no - this had better not be a joke.

No way! No way!""

Naw, God isn't the author of confusion. :laugh:

Nik, it's just a name brother. What really maters is that you now have a circumcised heart. I am really anxious to read your testimony. I am always amazed at what draws people to Jesus Christ. Each and every testimony is unique but ALL have one common theme. God's love is so strong that HE reaches down and takes us into HIS embrace. ALL we have to do is believe HIM. I cannot imagine my life without HIM.

Nik, for the record... I loved you before and I love ya' now brother. :wub:

May the Lord Bless you richly,

Wayne

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
