my knuckles are bloody… I have been pounding on that door for 15 years and my hand is swollen, my knuckles are bloody, my shoulder hurts, my legs are weak… but I kept pounding! 

 

Today is personal…

Luke 

18 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’

4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”

6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

 

 

15 YEARS AGO MY SON went awol in his faith… sure he was coping with me having cancer, more than just once… he got into it all, including getting into jail a few times… 

I remember hearing about my sisters kids not serving God and I spoke outlaid and said if my boys ever turn their backs on God I would pray every day, I would fast, I would do whatever it takes…

I have even told God if I can swap my place in heaven for him, I will do it. 

if my church is 20k and I lead 1 million to Christ and my own family does not go to heaven - I ALWAYS SAID “COUNT ME A FAILURE”.

So for 15 years… I have been doing just that praying, fasting, journaling…

PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS 

 

This past Friday my son who is now 30 came by church to drop off a truck. He walked into my office, we talked, we cried, we prayed and he rededicated his life to Christ. He came to church Sunday and even brought some friends with him. He wants to join the worship team (he’s talented) he told his girlfriend she needs to start to come to church. He has been praying ever day, reading his bible every day, we have been having heavy spiritual talks every day…

But don’t get me wrong I am thankful - but it has taken 15 years… and God as my witness if it would have taken 15 more I still would have gone after it. 

 

V. 7 will not God bring about justice…

The greek meaning speaks of vindication of what has been taken from you.

Joel 2:25 god will restore what has been taken from you , what has been stolen from you by the enemy. 

 

Now that my son is back, I continue to pray that his vindication is a life that now leads 100 of 1000’s to Christ… and the vindication keeps rolling!
