Many people want to be delivered and want to get out of the bondage they feel so desperately about. Somehow they don’t know how to get out. For our past sins His respond is grace.

GOD would allow us to make choices in life that will cause failures. GOD knowing the future, the pains, mistakes and consequences, GOD knows the pain we will suffer. Living independent of GOD is basis of sin.

Luke 15

The Parable of the Lost Son

11Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13“Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

17“When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20So he got up and went to his father.

“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

21“The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22“But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.

25“Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’

28“The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31“ ‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ ”

If you live sinful lives;

*All deliberate sin begins with desire that lures us away from intimate relationship with our Heavenly Father.

*Decision for departure living independently of GOD, living outside the will of GOD. He made a decision, he chose to leave.

*Departure, any place outside the will of GOD

*Deception, he was deceived that he will be better off making on his own.

*Defeat, he suffered defeat morally, financially, in his own personhood, he lost self-respect, self-esteem, his relationship.

* Desperation, he began to despair his life, no one will give him anything and famine came to the land. GOD will put every force of life against you in order to spare you.

*Deliverance, GOD sees the potential in us, radical change, restored joy, peace and contentment.
