Tipping Point:
-may be an addition or increment that in itself might not seem extraordinary but is unexpectedly, just the amount of addition or change needed to lead to a big effect.
- the crisis stage in a process, when a significant change takes place.
Luke 15:12-14 NKJV
[12] And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. [13] And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. [14] But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want.
[16] And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything. [17] “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! [18] I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, [19] and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” ’ [20] “And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. [21] And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ [22] “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. [23] And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; [24] for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.
TPT [17]... “Humiliated, the son finally realized what he was doing...
MSG...came to his senses...
The lost son had a change of heart >pride>humility =recognized his sin. He made a clear decision what to do "I will arise"(18) and he arose (20). Making a decision results in action.
Joel 3:14a NLT
Thousands upon thousands are waiting in the valley of decision...
We are praying for the 'lost' family members to reach there 'tipping point' and to repent, turn, and be restored to the Father/Jesus and family.
