All That God Has Is Now Ours

And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.” Luke 15:27-31

The point we need to realize from this parable of the Prodigal Son is this, everything that the father of these two sons had, was always the son’s! The power of the father, the wealth of the father, the supplies of the father, all that he had was the son’s. The same Truth that Jesus spoke of in this parable applies for you and I, all that our Father, Who is God, has is ours! We need love, so we now have our Father’s love. We need faith, so we now have our Father’s faith. We need wisdom, so we now have our Father’s wisdom, we need protection, and praise Jesus we now have God’s protection. Love is the greatest thing of all, and praise God, we now have the best love there is! The love that cried out for forgiveness on the Cross is now our love! The love that bore our sins, our sicknesses, and our diseases, is now our love. We have a Godly commandment to love, and man we have been supplied with the most powerful and capable love of all, God’s love! God’s commandment kept and fulfilled, by God Himself through us, and as Jesus said, without Him, we could have never done it! But with Him, praise God with Him, we are one with the One Who can do it all! Hallelujah! The Word of God is quick and the Truth of God’s Word has set us free to be used as our Lord and Savior was used!
