The Way of the Father parts 1&2

The Prodigal - Luke 15:11-21
The son's request is to terminate his relationship with his father.  In his mind he needs freedom from his home. He wanted his inheritance now!!!  You owe me!  You can't run away from yourself.  Need to take responsibility for your actions. Your the problem!!  The Father stays silent. Maybe he knew what his son was thinking.  You can pick up on a bad spirit or attitude.  The son's mind was already made up.  What made him whole was being at home with his father and brother. When he left he needed to find wholeness in a far country. Father had a real life view of his son, knowing he was capable of sin and rebellion.  Sometimes we are blind as a parent.  We do not need to loose dominion in our own life.  We all have a choice to make by doing right or wrong.
Deu. 30:19-21 - Choose life or death.  No one can blame the condition of our life on others.
Can God depend on you?  Don't make me the bad guy when I have guidelines. The Father is not manipulated by the son.  Beliefs will be tested at home.  Have to stand!!!!
