When the Prodigal Doesn’t Return (Orig. Full Circle Faith)

December 12, 2020 - I published on YouTube, what was then called “Full Circle Faith” (160k views in 3 months). Similarly to how the Lord allowed Paul to appeal to Caesar, which kept him in prison, the Lord allowed me to boldly claim in this video that if my apostate spouse, whom I loved dearly, didn’t come back, that I should be considered a false prophet. This story nearly became a total death blow to my faith and my ministry. Years later I would realize I had misinterpreted the meaning of God’s promises to me for resurrection and that I would remember the reproach of my “widowhood” no more (Isaiah 54:4).  After a few years of terrible persecution and humiliation which resulted from this story, God finally comforted me when He led me to see in Jeremiah 3:7, that even He Himself thought Israel would return to Him, but she did not!  I could now identify with God’s pain by experience!
