SERIES: OVERCOMING THE ORPHAN SPIRIT
“10 Destructive Characteristics of the Orphan Spirit” – Part 2 Today we are continuing with the familiar story of the prodigal son. As you know this story focuses on not just one, but two sons, who were both impacted by the orphan spirit. However, today I would also like for us to dwell on the fact that once we have a true revelation of son-ship, which comes to us by the Spirit of Adoption, we are led to become passionate and sincere worshipers of our heavenly father. Once you realize you are a son or daughter of the Father, you are moved with great passion to worship the Father.
