Praying for the prodigals
Isaiah 49:25 EV
But the Lord says, ‘Yes! One day the brave soldier's prisoners will be free. One day the cruel ruler will lose the valuable things that he has taken for himself. I myself will fight against your enemies. I will rescue your children.
Isaiah 49:24-25 MSG
Can plunder be retrieved from a giant, prisoners of war gotten back from a tyrant? But God says, “Even if a giant grips the plunder and a tyrant holds my people prisoner, I’m the one who’s on your side, defending your cause, rescuing your children.
Prophetic Word I came across
For those who have grown weary praying for their prodigals….
Many prodigals have parents who have warred long and hard. Parents who have loved, hoped, prayed and given everything they have to give to see their promise fulfilled.
But they have grown tired in the warring and weary in the waiting. Their hearts are hurt and souls wounded. The words spoken by the very ones they have poured their lives into have cut deeply to the core.
BUT the Lord is releasing a FRESH wind for the ones praying and believing for their prodigals. He is releasing strength to keep praying and believing.
He is pouring His love into you until you are overflowing. Where you’ve been hurt and broken by lies and broken promises the Lord is releasing healing. Where you have nothing left to give, now you will overflow with HIS love. He is renewing your vision for the promise and the vision for their destiny.
Your prodigals ARE your inheritance and they will not be stolen. I see Him giving you a drink of fresh water. A new understanding of the battle you’ve faced and the revelation that it is not because of anything you have done; but because of who you are.
The enemy couldn’t have you; so he came fast and hard for your children. But he CANT have them!
You are rising up in a new strength, with a new resolve to take back what is rightfully yours. Your sons and daughters ARE called of the Lord and you WILL stand and be blessed.
Where you once were led by emotion and regret, now you are led by an unshakable resolve and laser focus. Nothing will take your eyes off of the destiny you know to be true. No matter how hard the waves crash or how bleak the reality looks; you stand on HIS truth.
Your prodigals WILL return. Heaven will rejoice and you WILL be restored. The years of pain and turmoil, the heartache and lost moments of joy will ALL be restored in mysterious ways that only He can orchestrate.
Rise up mothers and fathers. Look to the hills from which your help comes from, there is a new wind being released to give you the strength to keep fighting for your prodigals!
