Happy New Year!

As we begin 2023, I am excited to share a few things the Lord spoke to me on Christmas morning! The title has continued to ring loudly in my spirit over the past week. This is a two-part message, the second of which will be released tomorrow.

For those of us who have been praying for our prodigal children and wayward loved ones, today’s word should be very encouraging! Do not give up hope. Do not cease to pray for them. Do not stop waiting for them to call upon the Name of the Lord! Call them in!

PART I: 2023 WILL BE A YEAR OF RENOUNCEMENTS

THE PRODIGALS

Sunday December 25, 2022 – Christmas Morning

I heard this on Christmas morning as I was preparing for church:

“2023 will be a year of renouncements.

I speak of the prodigals. Many of those for whom you have prayed for so long will suddenly wake up to the truth and renounce their wicked ways.

I am calling them back.

I am calling them home.

I am calling them to return to their First Love.

They are Mine.

They have forgotten who they are and Whose they are, but I am reminding them.

I am reminding them of the price I paid – through My Son upon that Cross of sin and shame.

I am reminding them of what they are called to.

---

Renouncements:

Renouncements of old ways that have kept them bogged down and tied to sin.

Renouncements of beliefs and ideologies that are contrary to Who I am.

Renouncements of sinful ties and soul ties that are ungodly.

Renouncements of evil and of witchcraft.

Renouncements of the demonic influences which they’ve invited into their lives and homes.

---

Purity will become a new drive, passion, and embrace. My Word will be set alight in their hearts. They will embrace My Word.

---

It’s time to call them in, My people.

Call the prodigals home.

Prepare a feast, and stand at the door and watch. Do not stop looking for them until you see them come into focus off in the horizon. And then, run to welcome them home!

All that the Father gives Me will come to Me. Watch and wait expectantly, and decree that the enemy no longer has a foothold! Command his lies to be silenced in their ears.

Call out their names, and take authority over the darkness covering their hearts and minds.

Call out to Me to flood their hearts and minds with truth and with My love and healing.

---

Call out:

‘Eyes be opened;

Ears be unstopped;

Hearts of stone be replaced by hearts of flesh’

…that will be PRICKED… and then OVERCOME by My presence.

All it takes is a moment, My people.

All it takes is a moment.”

---

“All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.”

-John 6:37, NKJV

---

“But while the son was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him.”

-Luke 15:20b, CSB
