Be Restored

God’s desire is for us to walk with Him as Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden before their sin.  He longs to fellowship with us and have relationship. He not only wants our attention, our thoughts, and actions, but He wants to be our closest friend.  Adam and Eve’s sin separated them from direct access to God. It stripped them of their identity. It took away their creative power, authority and dominion.  But thank God that the story doesn’t end there. God loves us so much, that He sent His Son, Jesus. Jesus was the second Adam who restored the type of relationship with Father God that was originally intended.  He lived a perfect life. He was about His Father’s business and only did what He saw the Father doing. Jesus didn’t just die for our eternal salvation (although what a wonderful gift), He conquered death, hell and the grave so that we may be restored to complete wholeness, health, prosperity, dominion, authority and all the power of the cross. Why do we settle for average when the word promises us to be more than conquerors? We should be walking in miracles signs and wonders on a daily basis. The word of God is alive because Jesus is the word. What separates us from the glory of the garden experience is our own sin. Lies from the enemy, wrong mindsets, cycles of destruction, pride, intellectualism, lusts of the flesh are just a few ways the enemy distracts us from our true identity and purpose. The good news is that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. There is no sin or sickness that the blood of Jesus doesn’t cover.  With Jesus as our advocate and faithful witness we have access once again to God. With humility, repentance, prayer and deliverance, we all have an opportunity to walk in close relationship with our Father to receive clear instructions, divine impartation and God’s heart to carry out His will for our lives.

Thank you, Lord, for your unfailing love and mercy towards us. Thank you that you saved us while we were yet sinners. Lord, forgive us for the things that keep us distracted from you. Forgive us for not living up to our full potential. Help us to get a clear vision of who You are so that we may know who we are. Show us the place in our lives where we can gain intimacy with you and hear your whispers and feel your heartbeat.  Deliver us from the things that separate us from you and deal with our hearts concerning the things that keep us far. Draw us closer so we may experience the fullness of your love and fulfill every assignment for your glory in Jesus’ name, Amen!
