Many people have been seeing 11:11 repeatedly. I know I have. Seeing repetitious numbers is one way God will get our attention in order that we might seek Him and ask what He is doing. In praying recently about this God led me to Isaiah 11:11, which I have been sensing is a word for 2011. Isaiah 11:11 is a prophetic word about the restoration of Israel, and the children coming home from many lands. For us today I hear God saying He is calling the prodigals home again, and that many who have walked with God and had been discouraged or who fell away would be drawn back by the love of God. Many will begin to have divine appointments where they encounter prodigals and will have opportunity to love them and reveal God's mercy to them.
There are many who have been hurt by the religion of man, by traditions of men, and those who calim to be followers of God but do not walk in love. There are others who became entangled in sin or addiction and out of shame left fellowship with God and people. God in His mercy is drawing them back home, to know His true message of grace, mercy and love. He will break off the offenses, hurts, and shame that held them down and set many free.
We can play a part in this word and prepare to be a part of what God will do. We can be ready to love those who come back and embrace them with grace rather than condemnation and works oriented religion. We can be ready to pray for them and release them into the freedom of God. Ask God for His fathers heart for those who come back. Ask the Father to lead you in how to love them and mentor them.
