“It is OK to go bankrupt, if it is closing one door that is going in the wrong direction, and redirecting your life in the direction you were meant to go, and letting go of those things which clutter and divert your mind, thoughts and efforts. Dream big, try again, and be yourself, and do what you were ordained to do.
Your life is like a race which you are running in, trying to reach the end. You are not competing with other people, to beat them in the race they are running, but to run your own race, which I have planned for you from the beginning, and to finish the race to obtain the prize at the end, having completed it successfully.
That prize is based on fulfillment of the destiny that was prepared for only you with your talents and abilities which is unique to all My creation. There is no one else like you, created for a specific purpose, for such a time as this. And when you’re in the grove or place that you were meant to be, your mind set and purpose toward destiny will be at peace within your soul. It will feel right, and you will be at peace, knowing that you are where you were meant to be.
Do you see that I have been using you to write down your journey; the wrong turns you have made, the dead ends, the frustration when you were not where you were meant to be, and lack of peace when you’re out of sync with your ordained destiny. For now is the time when you will be brought back as the ‘periodical son’ to the main stream of the race I have for you to complete, and fulfill.
All the other things you’ve done, and directions you were going didn’t matter. Many were distractions, which I allowed, to train you, and refine you to be stronger and more determined and aggressive to be more productive at the end of your race when everything will be accelerated.
You and others may see the lost time previously experienced as negative, but as the periodical son, after coming to his scenes, developed a stronger awareness and passion to return to his father, and home, and fully understanding the consequences of going astray.”
(Luke 15:11-32) “To illustrate the point further, Jesus told them this story: “A man had two sons. The younger son told his father, ‘I want my share of your estate now, instead of waiting until you die.’ So his father agreed to divide his wealth between his sons.“A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and took a trip to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money on wild living. About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve. He persuaded a local farmer to hire him to feed his pigs. The boy became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything.“When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself, ‘At home even the hired men have food enough to spare, and here I am, dying of hunger! I will go home to my father and say, “Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you,and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. Please take me on as a hired man.“So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long distance away, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him. His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. “But his father said to the servants, ‘Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger, and sandals for his feet. And kill the calf we have been fattening in the pen. We must celebrate with a feast,for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found. ‘So the party began.“Meanwhile, the older son was in the fields working. When he returned home, he heard music and dancing in the house, and he asked one of the servants what was going on.‘Your brother is back,’ he was told, ‘and your father has killed the calf we were fattening and has prepared a great feast. We are celebrating because of his safe return.’“The older brother was angry and wouldn’t go in. His father came out and begged him,but he replied, ‘All these years I’ve worked hard for you and never once refused to do a single thing you told me to. And in all that time you never gave me even one young goat for a feast with my friends.Yet when this son of yours comes back after squandering your money on prostitutes, you celebrate by killing the finest calf we have.
“His father said to him, ‘Look, dear son, you and I are very close, and everything I have is yours. We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!”
“Compassion, conviction and even violent relentless motivation make the best leaders, and not merely talent and ability, but seasoning through tribulation. I know you, and I know your motivation, when you see a clear goal and purpose that you know absolutely is the direction, purpose and objective you should be striving toward.
You have never been lazy, but have been discouraged and lost motivation because of lack of results. The lack of results were because you were seeking wealth, and fame to inflate your ego. You know why?
It is never too late to start over again. If you seek first My kingdom and purpose, seek righteousness, and continue to develop a close relationship with Me, then I will always be your source, the I Am, all and everything you need. Then everything else will be added unto you, multiplied and overflowing.
Don’t try to copy others or what they’re doing, but instead ask for guidance for direction, inspiration, and creativity, and utilize the gifts you have been given, and develop then to their fullest potential.
You are down now, but you don’t have to stay there. Get rid of the clutter, and distractions. For I have better things for you in the future. Remember that your true abilities are not determined exclusively by your skills, talents and gifting, but it is in the One who gives you all and everything you need, and makes possible the fulfillment of your created destiny.”
