The LORD Is Counting Them All!
This morning, quite early for me, I awoke with these Words ringing in my ears, “I counted them all out, and I counted them all back!”
I well remember this comment, made from the deck of an aircraft carrier during the Falklands War in 1983. The reporter counted the planes as they left and he counted them again as they returned safely!
I was wondering about this when The LORD interrupted my thoughts. “My prodigals and back-sliders — I counted them all as, one by one, they left.
Now is the season for Me to count them again as they come back to Me!
I AM calling the prodigals and back-sliders! I AM wooing them back into the Kingdom fold.
Some have strayed so far, but very few have gone too far. There’s always grace and mercy for those who truly repent; those who truly want to come back to Me!
Many wrongly believe that I have abandoned them; given them up as lost! And although some have been given over to a reprobate mind, it is even now, not too late for them to repent!
The time will come when it will be too late, but that is not yet. I AM seeking out those who are willing — those who still remember — those who will turn back again from the road to destruction and death — back to the road of eternal life in Christ Jesus.
Even as revival sparks into life in one part of The Church, so I AM wooing My prodigal Children back to another part.
I AM building My End-time Army upon The Remnant. As these prodigals return to The Church, they will bring their tattoos, their piercings, their brokenness with them.
Do not despise them! For on this Army of broken people will rest a mantle of praise, joy, and healing, and they shall see the miraculous, the resurrections, the move and workings of My Spirit!” says The LORD.
“YES”, says The LORD Almighty, “I counted them all as they left, and I will be counting them all as they come back! And My joy shall know no bounds!”

Glory to God, Glory Ahead.
Praise the Lord. Our son is in a bad place this is such an encouragement!
Jane, I’m sorry you’re experiencing this side of a prodigal son. I grew up in the (imperfect) church. I left in my teens to search out the earth. All it took was a prayer calling out His Name for all the seeds of His Word to come rushing in and sprouting for me to see the love of Jesus. His Goodness got me out of a bad place. I share this to encourage you to keep believing the promises of God (that they will not depart from it). He loves your son even more than you. I pray for a quick resolution for you as I understand since I have my own prodigal. And peace in the meantime to know God is as close to your son as his own breath. God bless you.
The only reason I wrote imperfect church is to imply that though we are imperfect or our methods might be imperfect, God’s Word and Jesus’ Love is not and is truly where the Power is to bring each of us into right relationship.
So like a Father to not miss one of His, so be it Chris! Bless your day Sandi
Amen!!!
Eternal hallelujah to the LORD most high God, ever merciful,long-suffering and forgiving.
