"Lord I’m Amazed At Your Power To Liberate" 2

Several years ago our family dog “Tera”, an English Springer went missing for 3 days. Our kids and I went up and down the neighborhood calling out her name; still we came up empty, disheartened and discouraged not knowing if we would ever find her.

You may have a son, daughter, mom or dad that is still living in the sin and you wonder when, where, how will you do it, Lord? Friend, God’s ways are higher than our ways. Here are some things to keep in mind when you want to see your loved ones come home to Christ.

Let God LIBERATE them HIS way. When God healed the blinded man, never before in history had the Lord used this method in healing. Jesus spit on the dirt and made clay and put it on the eyes of the blind man. What if the man had of said, “What are you doing to my eyes? I not only can’t see, now there’s this sticky mess on my eyes.” He not only allowed the Lord to use His plan and method, he also followed His instructions to go wash off the mud in the pool of Siloam. (John 9:6,7)

Mom and Dad, allow God to save your child the way He wants to. He has a design and knows the where and when and how it will happen. He knows how to open blinded eyes.

STAY out of the Way and Let GOD liberate them. I’ve watched many times people get in the way of setting someone free. Moses couldn’t stand seeing the mistreatment of the Jews and he took matters into his own hands and killed an Egyptian solider. From that point, Moses ends up running for his life. He lived on the backside of the desert for 40 years. Let God do the LIBERATING HIS WAY. Afterward, God does liberate Israel from Egypt His way and still uses Moses in the great deliverance.

DON’T LOSE HOPE IN THE WAITING. “Hope deferred makes the heart sick.” (Proverbs 13:12) Waiting can be painful. The father of the prodigal son didn’t run to Vegas to pull his son out of his crazy living. “NO”, he waited till his son came to himself. Let God put the pressure on your lost loved one. He has to power to bring them to himself. Luke 15:17 says;”When he came to himself, he said I will arise and go to my father.” As much as you want to see them saved, bailing them out of their problems may be getting in the way of what God is trying to do in bringing them to themselves.

By the way, 3 days later “Tera” did come home. There’s nothing more exciting than experiencing the return of one that’s lost come home. Remember, some plant, some water but God gives the increase. Only God can transform a life.
