Secrets of the Kingdom Part 16

The Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning:

Isaiah 42:22	But this [is] a people robbed and spoiled; [they are] all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
Acts 3:21	Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

ORIGINALLY: Man was created with all his faculties in perfect working order.

He could communicate with God perfectly

He could express God perfectly.

His Emotions, Speech, Mind: Will, and Physical body and 5 Senses along with his spirit were all full integrated and working in perfect harmony. When sin entered the human race degeneration set in. God retarded the decline some-what by limiting some hereditary factors, every 4th generation some things were bred out, sometimes it took 10 generations.

Deuteronomy 23:2	One of illegitimate birth shall not enter the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the LORD.
Exodus 34:7	Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
Deuteronom 15:1	At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.

God had to limit some things that would effect coming generations.

At times a major correction was required such as the flood during Noah’s day.

Genesis 6:5	And God saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually.
6	And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Psalms 14:1	The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good.
2	The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, [and] seek God.
3	They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become filthy: [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.

However the O/T prophets preached restoration

Jesus came and provided the way for restoration to begin, the cross was a major turning point in history, providing a way to start all over again, when Jesus ascended back to heaven the age of grace dawned upon the world.

Acts 3:21

Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophetssince the world began.

Now Gods word says Jesus returned to the Father and he will not come again until the restoration spoken of by the prophets is completed.

The word restoration here in the Greek means literally:  Gk- To restore to original order.

WHAT DID THE PROPHETS SAY WOULD BE RESTORED?

1	Jeremiah 30:17	For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, [saying], This [is] Zion, whom no man seeketh after.  HEALTH Heal Wounds.
2	Psalms 23:3	He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.   RESTORE THE SOUL  (Mind, Emotions and Will)
	Lamentations 5:21	Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
3	Micah 4:8	And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. (The first dominion is that which Adam had).
	I Thessalonians 5:23	And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Gk Without fault. Body Soul Spirit

It is God’s intention that; your: Body, Soul and Spirit be perfectly restored before His second coming, full redemption Spirit soul & body.

Romans 8:11	But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
II Corinthians 4:10	Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11	For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

THE SOUL FULLY RESTORED

The mind fully healed and restored at least 9 tenths of it needs restoring:

Every trauma every severe shock that has damaged your emotions The affect of abuse that has taken place in your if, every block in your mind.

GOD SAID I WILL RESTORE:

God promised this generation that He would restore the years that have ravage you

Joel 2:23	Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first [month].
24	And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
25	And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
28	And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29	And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30	And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31	The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

The time has come for restoration this is a year of restoration

The pollution of sin may have taken its toll in your life causing you to become dysfunctional; physical infirmities, damaged emotions and minds may be hindering you. You say I didn’t cause it: I was abused. I was rejected and it has taken its toll on me. Unconditionally forgive all those who have hurt you. Don’t use the phrase: I will never be the same again. That is a lie.

God says I will restore the years the enemy has spoiled you

Jeremiah Prophesied doom and captivity for the sins of the people. But many that were innocent. Daniel repented over those sins of the people.

Daniel 9:4	And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
5	We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:

Daniel was only a young teenager when he was taken captive; even thou it was his ancestors that had caused the captivity Daniel included himself in the prayer of repentance.

The prophet Hosea said we are to use words to repent and allow God to restore us

Hosea 14:1	O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
2	Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive [us] graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

This is a great season of restoration; we must move into it while the waters are troubled, this is a time of the favour of the Lord.

Isaaih 60:10

And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

God says call unto me and I will show you favour.

1 Chronicles 4:10	And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
John 5:4	For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

The waters are troubled, God says I will restore.
