This should be a great study- even if the naysayers and backsliders don't agree.

Someday, I'm going to thank you for this. I'm sure of that.
Tonight, I'm actually feeling a little nauseous at the thought.

If anybody asks you, what happened to me, just tellin I'm saved, sanctified, Holy Ghost filled, Jesus name baptized, and I'm running for my life!
I will be praying that you shout and run right down the backs of the pews in Jesus name!
Lord bless you forever!
In Jesus name
Brother Benincasa

Amen, and it's also allowing the devil to beat them up and by listening to that voice is what causes some great Brothers and Sisters to stay on the outside.

I dealt with the Prodigal years ago in a Ministers Conference and how it parallels the lives of some who are (a) in the Kingdom and (b) horribly unfulfilled in their walk with God and (c) making critical mistakes. (Ironically, I'm thinking about using it again in an upcoming meeting...)
Looking at the story you find that the Prodigal was basically a story of an attitude in desperate need of a change. He says in one verse "Give me the portion of mine inheritance that belongs to me" and then just a few verses (and a whole lot of misery later) he comes back and says, "I'm not worthy to be called a son... just make me as one of thy hired servants."
The message was simply titled, "The Long Hard Road from GIVE me to MAKE me".

Enthusiasm is not found in the Bible, but it is a good principle.
Sometimes we have to accept we are 100% of the cause of some of our problems and then decide to move on.
For the backslider, sometimes they have the perception that they are not good enough.

He is a dear mutual friend of ours and pastor from Florida. A man of God with a ministry for people... well I cant explain him.. he is just FRANK! And Him and Bro Benincasa are the majority of the fighting reason I am back in church so I have to say they have a lotta fight in them LOL... They listened to God and they know how to love lost souls. (yep for those who arent so sure about Benincasa he has a heart for the lost for sure!) And I am not trying to Hijack this thread so I will pm you LOL...
Let me get myself out of the way of Bro Steadfasts important thread...
