Good morning restored ones!
I want to encourage you today that if we want to see a RESTORATION OF POWER in our lives ~ the kind of RESTORATION He originally intended us to have, we must understand a few things: When we were born again, we were given resources that are only found in the supernatural realm. As children of God, we are no longer limited by this natural world. When this natural world cannot meet our needs, we can turn to the world of the supernatural and fully expect to see results materialize in our lives. This requires faith in what God says in His Word.
The first thing we need to understand is that when are born again, we are no longer children of this natural realm ~ we have become supernatural children of a supernatural God. Romans 8:31-32 declares,
- If God is for us, then who can be against us? He Who did not even spare His Own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all other things to enjoy?
See, we have proof that God loves us, no matter what religion tells us. As a matter of fact, God’s love has been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. With this hope that we have been given, we need not be ashamed (Romans 5:5).
Also, nothing can separate us from God’s love. When we go through persecutions, tribulations, and trials for His sake, He always makes us more than conquerors (Romans 8:35-39). Remember, there’s no fear in love, but perfect love casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). This world continues to try to dump fear into us, but we will not experience supernatural manifestations walking in fear. Be sure not to tolerate fear, because it will contaminate your faith.
The second thing we need to be reminded of is we access all the supernatural things of God by faith. Faith connects us to all that God has made available to us.
Thirdly, I want to bring to your remembrance that Jesus gave His disciples power over demons, sickness, and disease. He told them to preach the Gospel as they went, healing the sick, cleansing the lepers, and raising the dead (Matthew 10:1, 7-8). The authority God gave us is the power to enforce spiritual laws. Many Christians are unaware they possess this, and ignorance in this area prevents them from experiencing supernatural results in their lives.
Finally, it’s imperative that we believe the Word of God and hold it above everything else in our lives. Doubting God’s Word cancels faith. That’s why Jesus said in Matthew 21:21,
- “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.”
We must believe and not doubt in our hearts in order to receive all that God has done for us. We have a rich inheritance in God. For us who believe, His power is exceedingly great. When we understand and believe in what God says to us from His Word, we unleash His power in our lives. Romans 1:16 says,
- The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation, for all who believe.
I am praying and believing for God’s full RESTORATION OF POWER in your lives.
Hallelujah for His RESTORATION,
