RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS

Recently I was reading the book of Acts and these verses jumped at me. Acts 3:20-21 '...that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.' Jesus will stay in heaven until the restoration of all things on earth. 

The next day I saw in Journals of the Heart 'Restoration of all things'. God values the complete and unadulterated joy you have over the treasures He has unveiled in your heart. The joy of the Lord is your strength and will enable you to walk in the restorative power of love while He walks out the process of deliverance in your life— and in those you love. He is sending restoring graces and great deliverance. He is calling the wind from the north, south, east and west to blow with settling breezes and bring your home to a place of bliss and call it a home with a Jesus heart.

Prosperity in provision, thought and deed will be the language of each and every household belonging to your lineage. Health and wealth will come hand in hand for God blesses you in order to bless. All He gives you is to be a blessing to others. He will allow you to set foot in the land flowing with milk and honey, and My Name shall be glorified. Yes, a New Nazareth is now rebuilt! The Eden of your life is restored and new generations arise to proclaim the Kingdom.

Lord, You are a restorer of all things in the lives of those You have called and love. I open my heart and life up to the fullness of Your restoring and delivering graces. Let the four winds come and blow across every aspect of my life and encompass all the generations of my family. Restoration and deliverance have become the fruitful bread of all in my family line. Today my family and I stand on the Rock. All shifting sands are gone. We are passing over the Red Seas of our life into the land flowing with milk and honey with thankful hearts. Eden is restored and Thanksgiving Day is here.

This theme about the year of His restoration is indeed so powerful and prophetic. Till date, we have witnessed so many powerful restorations in our lives. I was reminded of another devotional in end August which said God is restoring all things (Joel 2:24-26). The hard ground of my heart left behind by words and actions perpetuated by men who damaged trust has been healed in many ways. All the little bits left unhealed are now in the process of a great restoration. The enemy wants me to believe there are things unable to be restored in my life but it is a big lie. God restores all things in my life today and everyday after. I have forgiven and I forgive in order to walk in perfect peace.

Heng said that he also experienced a big restoration in his workplace because the recent internal audit flagged out lots of inconsistency in another company but their company was cleared. He was very happy because God has justified them. All along many people were under the impression that the other company was better than them in terms of business controls and operations. But it was all a facade because these people just knew how to package themselves much better. But the results didn't show it. Well, now the Board of Directors could see for themselves whether this was true. To Heng, it was a big victory.
