Episode 108: Calling the Prodigals Home
Katie J. Carsten radically encountered the Lord Jesus Christ and His love for her in 2014 and she has been on fire for Him ever since. She spent many years as a nurse until the Lord called her away from her job in 2018, telling her that her primary ministry was to her family and to bring them to Him. Little did she know that less than a year later she would encounter the greatest fight of her life, the fight for her son’s salvation and destiny. God, in His infinite wisdom and great love, prepared her in advance for what was coming, making sure that she had the time needed to devote not only to the battle, but to her family and the women God has brought into her life and He has more than abundantly provided for her and her family.
In this episode Katie shares:
-Her personal faith walk and encounter with Jesus and the Holy Spirit
-Experiencing her son embark on a dark path
-Growing in her knowledge of the Word of God and learning about authority
-Being baptized in the Holy Spirit and the revelation of her authority
-Applying specific scripture and declarations over her son and standing in faith when it was hard (years)
-Being told to give the same grace that she had received
-How the devil tries to discourage in ways we don't expect
-A prophetic word given to her about her son when things looked hopeless
-An encounter her son has with Jesus Christ in the spirit realm
-Eventual fulfillment of the prophecy and answers to prayer above and beyond what she could have imagined
-The power of just one parent in prayer is enough
-Her passion to help parents and families understand the authority they carry, and effective ways to pray
-God calling her to write a book to help our prodigals
“All your children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace.”
“They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.”
“You better believe he can meet our prodigals. Anyone’s prodigal, Anyone’s lost ones, no matter how lost, how deceived, they are not too far gone for Jesus. Don’t give up. That’s the key. Don’t give up. Never ever stop believing. Never. Even if you have to go to your grave believing, you go to your grave believing for their salvation”
Other resources for prayer over our children that have blessed me include Stormie Omartian's The Power of a Praying Parent and Craig Hill's The Power of a Parent's Blessing.
