Ashes to glory, is it possible... I think sometimes being restored is buried deep in our hearts, we see people always wanting to restore cars, homes, items, and relationships. Its something we all like to do in one area or another. But honestly being restored is something that everyone who wants fullness to life like me will go after restoration on a continual basis. I believe as restoration takes place we may be in a completely sick dark season where we loose it all. Maybe your trial has taken your health, you job, your family, your relationship, your kids, or your home away from you. All in all your joy might seem as if it were gone completely or that its running dry. Your energy may be running thin and the virtue you had in life might be fading, What do you do? What do you believe? I know one person that will never let you down. In scripture the God of love who wants a relationship has a destiny for you!! The bible says below..
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord (of sun, earth, moon, heavens,and all nations and all people!), plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot; therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion; they shall have everlasting joy Isaiah 61:7
For everyone who has been born of God (as a pure child and heir to his kingdom) overcomes the world (and all the schemes of the evil). And this is the victory that has overcome the world-- our faith!!
1 John 5:4
Our FAITH is the fight we wage war with, taking that leap into the unknown helps all things become know. Truth will set you free when you fight back evil with faith and true love, you will begin to know who you are, and understand who God is, its a promise with virtue!!! If faith is our substance of all things hoped for, and we know love is unconditional and never selfish, what is it that we need to be restored of. If we die with nothing, is understanding life even more important that having the things in life? We must hear the word of God the Bible which is alive and reads you while you read it, for "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). Call out to God while you read with your full hear (now thats faith) and believe the still small voice (He could tell you to seek a mentor of true love, to quit your job, to move, whatever it is it will be an adventure, and will bring you to the desires of your heart). I truly believe things and knowledge are never able to compare to truth and understanding. If we could just understand that we don't know everything, and we perish because of deception. The deception is that faith is not important, and what is true faith? True faith is complete trust, confidence, reliance, and love in God. If we can just admit that, and realize the need for God, and want his help, and want his love then we could be free. We could learn to enjoy the the eternal rewards of faith, hope, and love ( and the fruits of the spirit; kindness, goodness, thankfulness, peace, love, joy, and rejoicing). We will be the witnesses to this! We could literally love all the people in the world with all the strength Jesus has given us to help be world changers. We will overcome the world on a daily basis as it says in 1 John5:4. Selfish glory and vain pursuits lead us to emptiness, bitterness, and lack of self control which is all equal to death of your joy and fullness in God.
Restoration is becoming a new creation, the mind of your old toxic repetitions that made your life a constant doubt, fear, negativity, complaint, untruthfulness, and selfish way. Fight! Put those ways to death today and Jesus will help you. 2 Corinthians 5:17, ESV Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
