Safe To Come Home // Missing Peace (Part 4) // Tim Ross

Welcome to Transformation Church Podcast, where we represent God to

the lost and found for transformation in Christ.

We're so glad you're here.

And wherever you're listening from, we believe God will transform

your life.

Do today's message.

The Gospel according to Saint Luke, chapter number fifteen. The

Gospel according to Saint Luke, chapter number fifteen, I'm reading

from the Tree of Life version of the Bible. I

want to read a few verses in You're hearing from

the greatest storyteller that has ever been on planet Earth.

Gospel according to Luke, chapter number fifteen.

The Holy Spirit told me.

Before I got on the plane to leave Dallas that

this was going to be a churchy day. Now, sometimes

we can hear something like that and it's people are

trying to manipulate that.

People are trying.

To instigate that. But I just felt like the Holy

Spirit there are some people that he's birthing into a

Pentecostal anointing. He's birthing them into a Pentecostal expression. It's

not for everybody, but when you've come out of deep sin,

you got to have a heavy anchor. I'm just saying,

I love the teaching crowd I love the reform crowd.

They're all accents of the same kingdom.

For me, I needed something that was.

Gonna I need an anointing that was gonna pull me out.

I wasn't in a gang.

Well I was for seven days, but I was gang adjacent.

And when you come out of a click and a

and a hood where you was down for something and

you know you was in somebody's face and you was

representing your like I needed to.

God had to bring me into something.

So I just I just feel like there's some people

that he's trying to unlock.

You're still trying.

To like be reserved and being like well, and He's like,

I need you to come all the way in. And

that's that doesn't mean a dance or a shout, but

that means a commitment. And I'm telling you, when you

commit with your mind, your body follows. As a man

thinketh in his heart.

So is he, Oh God, Jesus, Then ya shoe was said.

A certain man had two sons, and the younger of

them said to the father, father, give me the share

of the property that comes to me. So he divided

his wealth between them. Not many days later, the young

son gathered everything and traveled to a far country, and

there he squandered his inheritance on wild living. As we

continue to read, the brother is going to expose how wild.

His living was.

Now, when he had spent everything, a severe famine came

against that country, and he began to be in need.

So he went and joined himself to one of the

citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields

to feed pigs. And he was longing to fill up

on the carapods the pigs were eating, but no one

was giving him any.

No one was giving him any.

They was feeding the pigs, but they wouldn't feed him.

But when he came to his senses, he said.

How many of my father's hired workers have food overflowing,

but here I am dying of hunger.

I'll get up and go to my father, and I'll say.

To him, father, I have sinned against heavy and in

your presence I am no longer worthy to be called

your son.

Make me like one of your hired workers. And he

got up and he went to his own father.

But while he was still far away, his father saw

him and felt compassion.

He ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.

Then the son said to him, father, I have sinned

against heaven, and in your presence I am no longer

worthy to be called your son. But the father said

to his slaves, quick before this boy says something else.

Crazy, Quick before this boy thinks he's a slave. Quick.

See when you start making your way home, your father

ain't gonna wait for you to get in the house.

He's gonna run out to meet you.

Quack, How fast can God deliver you out of your sins?

Quack?

How fast can he break an addiction?

Quack? How fast can he sever a soul tied?

Bring out the best robe and put it on him.

Put a ring on his hands, and sandals on his feet.

Bring the fatted calf and kill it. That celebrate with

the feast, for this son of mine was dead and

has come back to life. He was lost and is found.

They began. Then they began to celebrate. Now his older brother,

the father's older son, was out in the field. As

he came near the house, he heard music and dancing,

and he called out to one of the servants and

began to ask what thief things could be. The servants

said to him, your brother has come, and your father

has killed the fat at calf because he got home.

He got him back safe and sound. The older brother was.

Angry and didn't want to go in, so his father

came outside and pleaded with him. But he answered and

said to his father, look, so many years I've slaved.

Away for you. Not once did I ignore your order.

Yet you've never.

Given me a young coat so I could celebrate with

my friends. But when this son of yours came, dang,

he saw petty.

He won't even call him his brother.

When this son of yours came, the one who squandered

your wealth with prostitutes, not only was he petty, he's

a tea spiller. The text only indicated that he had

squandered his money on wild living, left it a little general.

The brother was like, he was spending money on hose.

He had hose, he had holes in different area, colds

area cours, hose ole, oove in different area, cove.

Area cours those Oh, it's in the book. Just reading

the book, some people are uncomfortable with the book.

The book said prostitutes. Huh, that's what it said.

Then the father said to him, son, you are always

with me, and everything that is mine, it's yours. But

it was right to celebrate and rejoice because this brother

of yours was dead but has come back to life.

He was lost, but it's found.

If you're taking notes on this message, I won't be

before you long. I want to preach from a subject

safe to come home.

When you get the peace of God on.

The inside, it becomes safe to come home. Tell at

least three people before you take your seats, it's safe

to come home.

It's safe to come home. It's safe to come home.

It is safe. It's safe to come home. It's safe

to come home. Jesus, being the master storyteller that he is,

decide to share a parable.

That is so compelling, so gripping.

It trumps many of the movies Hollywood attempts to produce.

Every year.

Shoe begins to tell a story about a very wealthy

man who had two sons, and the two sons are

in their father's house, but they're both having different experiences

with their father.

Parents. You can raise your children.

The same way, and they will all have a different

experience in the way that you raise them. I taught

all of my kids the word. I don't understand why

this one came out like that. They were having a

different experience than the other two. You did the same

thing the same way, but that doesn't mean they were

having the same experience.

These are different human beings.

Different interactions, different perspectives, different filters. And the younger son,

for whatever reason, looks his father in the face and says,

you know, the inheritance as I supposed to have when

you die, I'd like that now. I just want you

to know this is offensive. If my sons were to

come to me today and say, hey, Dad, you know

that insurance policy that you have on your life that

if you die kicks.

In to mom and us. Is there a way we

can get that now? Basically you're saying.

Inside, could you please die so I can get my money.

The father, who for whatever reason has so much peace

that he's able to shake off offense, can I just

pause and say, when you truly have the peace of God,

stuff that usually offends you don't offend you no more.

Stuff that used to get you riled up.

When you truly get the peace of God that passes

all understanding, that stuff just bounces off of you.

Like child, I'm not even playing that game with you.

I know you just told me to drop dead to

my face. But if you want the money, I'll give

you the money.

I'm not gonna even hold you.

So he gives the young son the money, and the

son runs straight out the house, packs all his stuff

and runs to a far away country and spends it

on wild living.

He starts paying for sex workers. He's gambling his money away,

He's drinking his money away. Whatever he's doing, he.

Is living why scripture said it was what wild living.

And he has this wild living, and the wild living

takes everything from him.

Isn't this crazy?

He gave to the lifestyle he wanted, but the lifestyle

he wanted did not give back. Anybody beside me in

this room ever gave to something that you really wanted

to do, but the return on the investment was not

what you thought it was going to be. You gave

everything to the relationship, you gave everything to the city,

you gave everything to the lifestyle, and the only thing

the lifestyle gave you back was heartbreak, disappointment, betrayal, disease.

He was messing with some holes.

Now, I don't know, I don't know if there was

a safe way to practice sex back then.

You was gambling with your life.

He has spent all his money, and when all his

money is going, his entire inheritance was consumed by the life.

That he thought he wanted to live.

And at the end of it, when he had nothing,

he had to run to some of the citizens of

the town that he was not a part of.

Thank you, holy girl, so let me calm down.

He went to a far away country where the culture

and the customs and the climate was completely different than

the culture and the customs and the climate of his

father's house, and he didn't know how to live in that.

He thought he would like it till he got there.

Anybody beside me ever got something that you thought you wanted,

but as soon as you got it, you realize you

don't want what you got. Anybody beside me made.

Plans to go do a thing, and after you did

the thing, you was like, why did I even do.

This thing?

So she goes over and he's like, hey, listen, I

ain't got no more money. I need to make some money.

What can I do?

And one of the citizens clearly was a farmer, and

he said, you can feed my pigs.

She goes to feed the pigs.

When he goes to feed the pigs, he realizes that

he's not just envious of the people that are living

in this town during the time of this famine.

They seem to still have.

Enough means to support themselves, but he has spent all

his money.

Then a famine breaks out. He's in the middle of

the famine.

Now he has a job feeding pigs, and he's now

jealous of the pigs he's feeding. He's feeding these pigs,

and he's like, man, and they they eating better than me.

I would I would like to have what the pigs

to have it. And then the workers that were helping

him and overseeing him while he was feeding the pigs

wouldn't let him have what the pigs had.

That's gangster.

We'll let the pigs have it, but you can't have it.

But please continue to pick up behind them. And then

scripture said he came to himself. I just want to

thank God, because I don't even know how it happens.

It doesn't say that the.

Conviction of the Holy Spirit hit him.

It does not say that that that he remembered the

words of his father. But somehow, some way, he came

to himself. And and I just want to say, that's

what a pig pen will do a pig pin will

make you come to yourself. Sometimes you have to hit

rock bottom and stay there so long.

That you start asking yourself, do I.

Really want to be in this situation anymore? Sometimes you

have to be so broke so long that you finally

say to yourself, do I really want to be in

this situation?

Somehow? Sometimes the people that you love the most have.

To disassociate themselves with you so you can feel their

absence enough to say, do I really want to be

in this situation?

And Scripture says he.

Came to himself, he's down there with the pigs, and

it finally dawns on him.

The slaves in my father's house eat better than me.

Right now.

Now this is the year of our Lord, twenty twenty six.

So I just want to want everybody to know when

you hear the worst slavery, you don't.

Have to be like.

We ain't talking about American slavery, We're not talking about

chattel slavery.

We're talking about.

A master who owned slaves and treated those slaves with

decency and respect. His son knew that the slaves in

his father's house was.

Eaten better than he was eaten. Right now.

So he came to himself, and I gotta say that

when you come to yourself, then you can have the

journey of getting peace. For peace to really be inhabited

by a believer, you must first.

Have a safe enough mind.

You cannot experience peace in your life until your mind

is safe enough to heal. Your mind has to change

your mind. You have to be renewed in your mind

and your thinking. You have to have your inner narrative

change from the inside out. If you are ever going

to be who God has called you to be and

receive the promises that God wants you to have, you

can't still have a pig sty mentality and be a

brother or a sister, a son.

And a daughter in the Kingdom of God.

When he came to himself, this level of self awareness

gave him the indication that I.

Cannot heal amongst hogs. I can't heal with these hogs.

I came to myself around these hogs, but I can't

heal amongst these hogs. If I'm gonna get healed, I'm

gonna have to change my environment. I can come to

my senses around you crazy people, but I can't heal

around you crazy people. I'm gonna have to change my environment.

I'm gonna have to get out of this house. I

might have to move out of this city. I might

have to leave the entire state. I don't know who

I'm preaching to you today, but God is breaking some

of your all up with the people that you thought

you were gonna be with the rest of your life,

only because you cannot heal amongst some hogs. Please don't

call your friends hogs. I don't want nobody to run

out of here. After listening to the sermons, be like,

I'm gonna.

Have to leave you because you are hoged out.

He came to himself, he said, I can't heal amongst

these hogs. I'm gonna have to go home. And he

starts rehearsing the speech for his daddy. He was like, Okay,

I'm gonna go home because because the slave is eetting

better than than than me.

Right now, I'm going home. And but I know I

messed up.

I know I basically looked my daddy in the eye

and told him to drop dead, and for some reason

he didn't slap me across his face. And so, and

he gave me the money and I spent it all,

and dang, he is not gonna let me back in

the house like I used to be. But I gotta apologize,

So I'm gonna be like, Dad, I have sin before

heaven and in your presence, and I am not worthy

to be your son.

Make me, make me.

As one of your slaves. Yeah, just let me be

one of your slaves. I'll be just happy to be

back in the house. I don't even have to have

my previous status.

See, when you're.

Desperate to come home, you'll take anything to get back

in that house. When you're desperate to come home, you like, Daddy.

I don't know if it's gonna be the same, But

when I come back in, I don't even have to

sleep in the bed. You can just put me in

the cot on the floor, you can put me in

the garage.

As long as I'm in your house, I'm safe. Daddy.

I have sin before heaven and in your presence, and

I am not even worthy to be your son.

And make me as one of your slaves.

Yeah, Daddy, I have sin before heaven and in your presence.

I am not worthy to be your son. Make me

as one of your slaves.

Started feeling good to him as he was walked at home.

I'm a repent real good dad.

I I have said before I haven't and in your presence,

I'm not worthy to be your son. You ain't gonna

even you don't even have to call me your son,

no more, make me as one of your slaves.

Maybe no, I sound too excited. I have said.

I'm sending before heaven, and in your presence, mm hmmm,

I'm not worthy to be your son.

It made me one of yours.

Know that ugly cry when you cannot get nothing.

I could just let me, just let me be a slave.

Yeah, that that's the one right there.

I'm gonna use that one.

Yeah, I said, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm have a good

ugly cry when I see him.

And he was walking down the street and he started

to get close to his father's house and what he

didn't know.

He couldn't see his father, but his father could see him.

And when his father saw him, his father beat his

son to the punch. The father scripture says.

He saw his son afar off.

Because he had been looking for him. Hear me the

father had been looking for the son, but he never

left his house because the father has a boundary. I

don't know who I'm preaching to right now, but you

gotta have some boundaries.

Oh Oh, I want you. I want to have.

Relationship with you again, but I'm not gonna go hunt

for where you went with my money. I want to

restore the relationship we had previously, but there's no way

I'm going out there to where you went.

See see see.

I think a lot of times we as believers get

hard up in the romanticism of the Savior and that

he's a good shepherd and that he'll leave the ninety

nine and go after the one. Yeah, and we got

good songs about it, you know, all the other well

me never andy, reckless.

Love of God, Oh, it chases me down, fight till

I'm found, leaves the ninety nine, and I couldn't learn it.

The song is dope, and it's the truth for sheep

that are lost.

You taking notes, You're about to get a good note

right here.

It is the truth that a good shepherd will leave

the ninety nine to go after the sheep that is lost.

But the shepherd is not chasing.

The sheep that left.

I hope I can help somebody in this room.

I want you to know that, Joe. God has a.

Boundary when you leave the house willingly and knowingly.

You need to understand.

God is not chasing a rebellious son. God is not

chasing a rebellious daughter. We're not talking to somebody who

innocently was like, oh my god, the amusement park is

so big.

Mom, Dad, buzz.

No, no, no, We're talking about somebody that was like, I

know what you want me to do, and I know

how you want me to do it. Now give me

my money, give me my mined I'm leaving. I want

no parts of this anymore. Yes, his reckless love will

go after who is lost, But your God has too

much of a boundary to go after who left.

You know where I live. You left my house.

When you come to your senses, you know how to

get back to my house. You know what road you

went down to leave my house. When you come to

yourself and use what don't want to smell like? No

hogs no more, bring your tail right back to the

house that you left. I'll leave a light on for you,

not chasing you. You had all the peace you needed

in this house before you left. You left the house

and lost your peace. You didn't lose your peace in

this house. You lost that piece when you walked out

of my house. I don't know who I'm preaching to.

I need to tell at least one hundred parents in here,

let that child go.

Let that child go.

You ain't dealing with no eleven year old child, no more.

That girl is twenty two years old. Pray the prayer

of protection over that joker. Let them.

I'm trying to tell you that's mean, no, mean, no,

and it's just so mean. You can't control no grown child.

God's not messing with your free will. If this is

what you want to do, go out there and do

you boo boo.

See how good it feels to do you.

You think my boundaries and my restrictions are uncomfortable for you,

then go out there and spend your money on him

holes and after six months, come and tell me how

it felt. Just trying to help somebody find some peace,

That's all I'm trying to That's all I'm really trying

to do.

The scripture says. Scripture says the father saw his son

afar off.

Because he had been looking for him, and he had

been waiting for him, but he wasn't going to leave

his boundary to find him, and the father, unbeknownst to

the sun, takes off running down the street, and when

it gets up to the sun, he just bum rushes

him with the hug. Hear me no words, presence, body,

Before I tell you how much I love you, I

want you to feel it in the hug that I'm

about to give you, before you hear any word that

comes out of my mouth. I want you to see

the openness of my body enveloping you, to let you

know that before you get back in my home, it

was always safer enough for you.

To come back home because I've been waiting.

For you. He hugs him, He kisses him on the

neck and start weeping and crying, and the son goes

into his speech.

Daddy, I have sinned against Heaven. I don't even know

you're going right out here, you see.

And.

I sinned against Heaven. I sinned against your presence.

I did it in front of the other family members

and in front of his slaves and everything.

And I'm not even worthy to be your son. Yeah,

I remember.

There's one more thing the son wanted to say that

he was rehearsing, make me.

As one of your slaves. His father didn't even let

him get to that point.

The son was rehearsing a narrative that his father could

have never fulfilled, the request of make me as one

of your slaves. I don't deserve to be your son anymore.

I smell like pigs. I smell like what I've been through.

I look like what I've been through. I got soul

ties I never wanted, I got memories I never need it.

Everything you have protected me from I voluntarily went out

there and found out the hard way.

This doesn't bring me peace.

I thought I knew better than the boundary that you

wrote for my life. I don't deserve to be your son.

I don't even know if he got to the point

of saying.

Make me one of your slaves.

I don't even know if he got to form his

mouth before you get to that one line that his

father couldn't have fulfilled anyway, Because once you're a son,

you're always a son. Once you're a daughter, you're always

a daughter. I'm talking to at least ten backsliders in

the room that think that what you're doing now to

this qualifies you from the father's love. You are still

the son and the daughter of the Most High God.

You just acting real extra right now, and the father

is waiting on you to come to your senses in.

Your mind so you can.

Get your body back safe and come back home before

he can try to say, make me one of your slaves.

His father said, quick before this boy says something stupid.

Quick hear this before he can take a shower, Quick.

Before he can clean himself up.

Quick, before he can get back in the house and

get familiar and reacclimate it. Quick, get a roll, get

a ring, get some shoes. But Daddy, I haven't even

cleaned myself up yet. Do you think I need you

to be cleaned up before I clothe you. Do you

honestly think I need you to take a shower before.

I cover you?

Nor?

The King of the universe is saying, come home now,

smelling like we Come home now, still wet, a hangover

from last night.

Come home now still got.

Three bodies from the last weekend. Come home right now,

still with bitterness. Come home now, still angry, Come home

now still under.

The rest of threat. Come home quick quick.

They changed him faster than Nascar engineers due to tires

when they come in for a pit.

Stoper ye zep, he's ob ziberty. They had put them

clothes on him so fast he was he had to

be disoriented. Like I thought it was gonna. I thought

I was gonna have to.

Go through growth track for four weeks before I got

my restoration. I thought it was gonna take six months

of me reading the Bible and going through devotionals again

to get.

This type of restoration. This restoration came to quick.

But I came to tell at least five hundred people

in the room the transformation that God wants to do

in your life. He wants to do it that quick.

He's not waiting on you to get it right. He's

not waiting on you to have it all together. He

is not waiting for you to have the right.

Thing to say. He wants to do it mm quick.

He came home. They threw a party.

Pump up the jam, pump it up while your feet

are knocking to that to a base and drop it.

Have to bet if that there, pomp up the jam,

pop it up, boo.

Boo, pump up the poo, pump up the pump up,

the pump up the pump pump pump, pump, pump up.

Because when Heaven throws a party for you.

Everybody is going to hear it when Heaven throws a

party for you. Hell is going to hear it when

Hell that decides to throw a party for you. The

base was knocking so hard. The older brother was outside

and heard the music. The subwoofers were vibrating so loudly.

The brother was outside, and he walked over to one

of the servants.

He said, what's going who what they doing in there?

He the service was hype. Your brother came home. No,

your brother came you. Daddy daught he was dead. He's alive. Yo,

it's turned up in there. Your brother got on a row.

Fam got a ring. It's lit.

And instead of the brothers celebrating, he hated. The brother

never left the house, but he did. He did leave

his love.

The younger brother went to a far away place.

The older brother was in a close enough place, and

he was still outside of the father's love. Not because

anything the father did, but because of the older brother's perspective.

The older brother it's mad at the younger brother.

And his daddy for throwing a party for him, because

there's always somebody mad when you come home. There's always

somebody that thinks you should pay the price they have

for you. Only God is the righteous judge, but there's

always somebody that wants to know you need to do more,

then you'll be forgiven. So the father that ran after

the young son outside.

Has to now go find the other son outside, because

neither one of them was in the house.

Until the father came and got him. Yeah, he went outside,

he said, son, why don't you just come in, And

why don't you come in and be a part of

the party. That son of yours trifle him self that

he's spent all your money on prostitutes.

Y'all in there pumping up the jam, got them woofers.

And I heard you slaughtered a calf for that clown.

I can't believe you did, Dad. I ain't ever left you.

I've done everything you've ever told me to do. He

wasn't acting like a son, He was acting like a slave.

He had sonship with a slave mentality. He thought what

he was doing for his father, he was doing out

of duty instead of doing it out of love. So

he was only checking the boxes in his daddy's house.

Because even though he was a son, he treated himself

like a slave. I've checked all the boxes, and now

one time have you ever slaughtered a goat and had

a party for me and my friends? Now you know

that daddy had to be like child. I went through

this with the younger one, and you mean to tell

me you've been up under my nose and your perspective

is off too. He says, son, everything I have remember

as the oldest son. When Daddy actually dies, everything goes

to him anyway. So everything the father literally had belonged

to the oldest son, but because he had a slave mentality,

he could.

Not see it.

So the father has to remind him everything that I

have is yours. What his mind is absolutely, unequivocally yours,

your brother. Even though the son tries to say your son,

the father pushes it back and says, your brother, I'm

not turning down this music.

Because of your feelings.

You offended. I'm having a party for your little brother.

You're gonna have to stay outside and pout before I

turn this music down.

I'll turn it up. Before I stopped.

Celebrating somebody I thought was dead and now it was alive.

I will turn it from a seven to and eleven

in your face.

Because he was lost.

Now he's found, he was dead, he's come back to life.

It was safe enough for him to come home. And

I came to tell somebody today that it's safe enough

for you to come home. I don't care how long

you have been in the situation you've been in. I

don't care how long the circumstances have been against you.

I don't care how much you smell like the hell

that you have been through. You do not have to shower,

you do not have to shave. You can come home stinking.

You can come home disheveled. You can come home with

mud on your face. You can come home with feces

between your feet. Because the God of Heaven understands that

as soon as you get in my presence, what is

unrighteous becomes righteous, what is dead becomes alive, what has

been lost becomes found. Do I got anybody in here

that's ever been safe enough to come home? I just

want to encourage you that there is no situation. There

is no distance between you and God, the father that

is going to keep you from his love. And if

you just turn around and start walking back home, he

will come meet you on the road. He will not

wait for you to get in the house. He will

run out to meet you in the middle of.

The road and bring you.

Oh.

Now, I know I did not plan this. This is

just the way my mind works.

I didn't know nothing about no homecoming party in September.

I don't even know what it's about. I don't even

know what y'all gonna be doing. But we're about to

have one right now. I want to have a party

for some people that are down to come home. You

know how, sometimes we do off the costs.

And we.

Tone it down because we want to. We just want to.

We just want to make make it be something that

people are like.

Ok.

I'm thinking.

Right, I don't want that kind of homecoming party right now.

I gave my life to Jesus on January fourteenth, or

nineteen ninety six. There was no sermon and there was

no altar call. The Holy Spirit convicted me to give

my life to him. I had been living my own way.

I had been out there doing all the stuff. I

was promiscuous. I was probably more promiscuous.

Than this dude. And I mean, when I tell you

I was hoeing, I was whole ink. Okay. I was

out there, you hear me, and giving my money. I

mean it was. It was terrible.

And on January fourteenth, ninteen ninety six, I was sitting

on the back road of the church and praise and

worship had just ended.

No, no, the Sunday school had just ended. Praise and

worship had just started.

There in the second song of praise and worship, and

the Holy Spirit convicts me of my sins.

I came to myself and I was like, I can't,

I can't do this no more. I had a porn

stash in between my mattress.

This is this is the nineties. Wasn't on your phone

bundo phones. We had a full magazine at a porn

stash in between my mattress. I was sleeping around and

I was thinking to myself, I need to go home.

I need to get rid of that porn stash in

between my mattress, and I need to break up with

these girls and then I can give my life to Jesus.

And the Holy Spirit said, if you don't walk out

of here with me today, you're not gonna do none

of that. And I was like, well, I feel dirty

to give my life to you when I still got

all this unresolved stuff.

And he was like, uh uh, you don't understand.

I'll take you now, with the smell on you now,

with the stench of sin on you, right now, with

the mindset you have right now, I will take you

right now.

Because what I like to do is quick. So my

dad just decided to open up for testimony service.

That's why I love a Pentecostal church. It's would have

never happened in a Baptist church. It's what it never

happened in another type of church. I stood up during

testimony service and I couldn't wait for them because I

couldn't wait to come home. Please pick me, pick me,

pick me.

And my dad was going and I was on the

back road.

He went to the front to back, and he finally said,

I think Tim got something to say.

This is like a small church.

Forty seven people said, they were like, you know, small churches,

A nosy what Tim got to say? And my dad said,

what's going on? And I said, I give up? Those

are my first three words.

I give up. Then the church really turned around. Give

up what I said. I need to give my life

to Jesus right now. And my Pentecostal mama let out

the biggest, blackest.

Inscene credit rolling of a Tyler Perry movie.

Hallelujh, you have ever heard in your entire life.

As soon as I said I need to give my

life to Jesus right now, she said, Loachi. And from

that back row, I started walking to the front of

the church in the same way this young son was

walking home.

And the father met me before I even got to

the front of the church, and he took me like

I was never to cheat me, like who I was.

And that was thirty years ago.

And I'm here to invite somebody else that knows for

a fact you need to come home.

You've already done it. You've already tried it. It is

not working, and you don't even like it.

I want to have a homecoming party for somebody that's like,

that's me. I'm coming home right now, because I need

this right now. If that's you, I just want you

to meet me down here and watch how we act.

Watch how we act. If you dare to come down

here and say I'm coming home right now, I want

you to see how it's going to be when you

get somebody who knows what it's like to.

Have been in a situation you better understand.

If you think we're waiting for one hundred people to

come down, all of Heaven rejoices, when what.

I would love for the whole party just.

To be for you.

But if you coming to get in on the party, if.

You coming to get in on the party, Oh, come on, sion,

it's a homecoming party. It's a homecoming party. They don't

smell like smoke. They don't smell like what they've been through.

They came to themselves. They came out the.

Grave, they came out from home here. They're not going

home the same way they came.

Give them a bread.

Right. Homecoming is homecoming, It's homecoming, is homecoming, it's homecoming.

Is homecoming, it's homecoming. Is homecoming, it's homecoming. Is homecoming,

it's homecoming. It's homecoming. It's homecoming. It's homecoming. It's homecoming.

It's homecoming. It's homecoming. Sons are coming home, daughters are

coming home.

It's homecoming.

I was never supposed to live my life around Hoggs.

I was always supposed to live my life in my

father's house.

I'm coming had got shots.

If you're watching online, just put the home in the chat.

Put the home emoji.

In the chat because we got some people coming home

online too. If you think God needs you to come

out of where you are right now. If you're watching in.

Your car, you can come home in your car. If

you're watching in your apartment, you can come home in

that apartment.

If you've written out a room in your grandmama's house,

you can come home in your grandmama. Here's what the

Holy Spirit told me. The Holy Spirit told me that

you don't need a lot of words when you come home,

because here's what the Father was really saying to the son.

I don't need your words. I just saw your walk.

I don't need your words. I just saw your walk.

You ain't gotta say nothing to me. I saw what

you meant. But you walked up here. I heard what

you was trying to say when you walked up here.

I don't need you to say nothing.

Come on, come on, come on.

Somebody else is coming. Somebody else is coming home. Somebody

else is coming home. I rebuked the enemy right now,

in the name of Jesus. Somebody is coming home. In

Jesus' name, God, we thank you for homecomings. God, We

thank you for sons. God, we thank you for daughters.

Come home.

What we usually do a sinner's prayer, a prayer of salvation.

Here's what the Holy Spirit just told me. Your walk

was enough. Your walk was enough. Your walk was enough,

Your walk was enough. When you walk down here, I

heard what your feet was saying, because you started coming

back in the direction of the One.

This ain't no game, this ain't no trick.

There's a real God with a real anointing to destroy

real yokes. Generational curses are being broken right now in

the name of Jesus. Soul ties are being broken right now,

in the name of Jesus. Old habitual sins are broken

right now. Come on, they're still coming. They're still coming.

They're still coming. They're still coming. Somebody else is coming home.

Somebody else is coming home. Somebody else is coming home.

Somebody else is coming home. Come home, Come home, come home,

Come home, Come home, Come home, Come home, come home,

come home, come home.

Hey youkahahaha to kang.

A bunch of leaders just came home. A bunch of

world shakers just came home. A bunch of generational curse

breakers just came home.

Baka. Yeah, the enemy wanted you to stay out there,

because the enemy wanted you to be convinced that.

You was supposed to live like a hog. But the

devil is a lie. The devil is a lie. The

devil knew he had a problem on his hands. That's

why he tried to keep you out there. Filled with lines,

is filled with a narrative that doesn't belong to you.

He's trying to keep you out there. Can't tell you

how many times I contemplated suicide, too scared to do it,

so just always praying God.

Just don't wake me up in the morning. I can't

do this.

Had my Daddy's revolver to my head after my brother died.

Devil don't want you to come home because he knows

as soon as you come home. Can I just act

out what I see in the spirit? Let me tell

you what happened when you just came home. All the

hell went not her, not her, anybody but her. How

you let her back in the house. Do you know

what's gonna happen to the family now that she's back

in the house. Do you know what's gonna happen with

the generational bloodline now that she's back in the house.

Who let her back in? Who let them hogs out?

Homecoming party supposed to be a party.

Yeah, like, I'm down with the tears.

I'm down with like the like.

You know, I get that, But I want you to

see how quickly the father turned the son's tears yeah

into praise.

He was like, I get it.

You crying. I understand you went out there. You you

tricked off all my money. Understood, But you're gonna have

to clear that up quick, because I got a party

plan for you. I know you said about what you

did and what you hid and what your slid, but

I need you to know through all them tears, you're

gonna have to push them back because I'm down to

have a party before you change your clothes. We having

a party before you throw away the bag. We having

a party before you get rid of the burner. We

having a party before you call them up and tell

them you ain't coming back. We having a party right now.

the house outside mad because my brothers and sisters came home.
