The Parable Of The Lost Coin

“I wanted to tell you a story…” What woman, if she has ten silver coins and loses one, doesn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, “Rejoice with me! I have found the coin that I lost!” Even so, I tell you: There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

(This story is found in Luke 15:8-10.) “Let Me explain what this story means…” You may feel small. Like one coin out of many. But not to Me. I notice when you’re missing. I light the lamp. I sweep the house. I search-until I find you.

You are not forgotten.  You are not discarded. You are worth the search. And when you are found-when you turn back to Me-heaven rejoices. Because your life matters to the Father. “My parables matter because they reveal the Kingdom.”I didn’t speak these stories on My own.

In John 12:49-50, I said: “For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father which sent Me, He gave Me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.  Read More... “The Parable Of The Lost Coin ( Video )”

The Parable Of The Lost Sheep

“I wanted to tell you a story…”Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?
And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.” I tell you that in the same way, there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. (This story is found in Matthew 18:12-14 and Luke 15:3-7.)

“Let Me explain what this story means…” I am the Good Shepherd, and I go after the lost. When you stray, I will come to find you, no matter how far you’ve wandered. The Kingdom of Heaven isn’t about numbers-it’s about the one. When one sinner repents, there’s more joy in heaven than over the whole flock who never strayed.

So know this: If you’re lost, I will find you. If you feel far from Me, I’ll come for you. “My parables matter because they reveal the Kingdom.” Read More... “Come Home to Joy ( Video )”

The Parable Of The Leaven (Yeast)

“I wanted to tell you a story…”The Kingdom of Heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until the whole batch was leavened. (This story is found in Matthew 13:33 and Luke 13:20-21.)

“Let Me explain what this story means…”You may not see it right away-but the Kingdom is working. Just like yeast hidden in dough, it starts small, almost invisible. But it spreads-quietly,  Powerfully-until everything is changed. This is how the Kingdom moves. Not through loud shouts or sudden signs, but through hearts transformed… lives changed… homes renewed… truth spreading from one to another.

When My word enters your heart, it doesn’t leave you the same. It works its way through everything. That’s how the Kingdom works in the world. And that’s how it works in you. “My parables matter because they reveal the Kingdom.”

I didn’t speak these stories on My own. In John 12:49-50, I said: “For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father which sent Me, He gave Me a commandment, what I should say, and what I  Should speak. And I know that His commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto Me, so I speak.” Read More... “The Hidden Power of the Kingdom ( Video )”

The Invitation to the Wedding Feast. ( Video )

The Parable Of The Wedding Feast.

“I wanted to tell you a story…” The Kingdom of Heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent out his servants to call those who had been invited to the feast- but they refused to come. So he sent more servants, saying, “Tell those who were invited: Look! I have prepared My dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast!”

But they paid no attention and went off-one to his field, another to his business. Others seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his armies, destroyed  hose murderers, and burned their city. Then he said to his servants,  “The wedding is ready, but those I invited were not worthy. Go to the street corners and invite anyone you find.” So the servants went out and gathered everyone they could find-both good and bad.

And the wedding hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man who was not wearing wedding clothes. He said to him, “Friend, how did you get in here without wedding garments?” Read More... “The Invitation to the Wedding Feast. ( Video )”
