The prodigal son story can tie with the Book of Samuel if you live with it. I have seen it and most Hmong people that I met, one of the worst ones were my cousins.
You may intimate the likeliness of Prodigal Son and Samuel all you want, but you're not gonna be saved completely.
For instance, let's say there are two guys, A and B, racing to the gate of heaven.
Guy A is intimating prophet Samuel, but most of the times he worries about worldy things that cause him to backslide into sinning again. So God doesn't respond to his prayers anymore.
Guy B intimates no one and only being realistic on his goals whenever God commands him during the sleeping dreams.
Remember the parable of two sons that Jesus teaches to his disciples: the mother ask the first son he's willing to do it, but will eventually slack off afterward and mother ask the other son who's reluctantly agree to do his duty but do the works momentarily.
I did mentioned to y'all that I left Jehovah Witnesses. That's because God told me in my dream. I had to obey to his word or else I'll face serious consequences if I continue to stay with them. Jehovah Witnesses love to intimate anyone in
"the bible" other than obeying the commands from the
"real God" they don't realize it does exist in their deluded mind. They always pray and sang two times before and after the speakers giving speeches. God hates that. Good thing I haven't been baptized in water by the likeliness of them so I'm safe from God's judgement.
