Restoration? What Does it Mean?

Psalm 24:1

The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world,

and they that dwell therein.

Most of us, and I'm speaking of Christians,  think of restoration in terms  of having things which were lost through hardship over a period of a number of years being returned to us.  Experience and time have been the teachers of our understanding of what our losses have been.  Some brave souls even think in terms of generations of loss being restored to them in this day and age. This also has been a  large part of my understanding of the definition of being restored spiritually, physically, relationally,  and financially. However by and large,  everything I've written here is related to time as we understand it.

Though some of our knowledge in the area of restoration may have come from The Word of God-even revelation from the Word-but it can be somewhat limited because revelation is only the beginning of increased understanding-it must be walked out by faith In Him. And before I go further with this I want to add a resounding, YES!, He can and does do all these things for us as  we've seen written in the Word as we are enabled to  believe and lay hold  by faith! He Is Good and desires wholeness in every area of our lives! But there is a higher order of understanding and revelation which I believe has been reserved for this day and hour and He so desires to show us so much more.

So what am I trying to convey here? We can only truly have a more perfect understanding of "restoration" when we finally ask Him one question:

              Father, what do You mean by Restoration?

When we ask this question He will began opening up more perfectly the definition as related to  Himself and eternity.  Why  was this reserved for this day and age?  Mainly because we've had to "catch up" to  where we could begin to understand on a higher level  who He Is and  what He's created us to be from His first thoughts of us before time as we know it existed.  In these last of the last days during this age change and transition of time itself into etenity, He is establishing Us, The Church, His Body, not only back to the dominion He gave  to Adam, but one far greater where we've been elevated and seated with Him NOW in Heavenly places In Him. This is a place of ruling and reigning in life through the ONE Christ Jesus!   And we can get more of a clue about God's eternal ways  from the written Word in  scriptures like Jesus  being crucified from the foundation of the World and this one about the good works He planned  beforehand for us to walk in.  And this great scripture which Paul spoke about in Ephesians 3:8-12 KJV, concerning  the fellowship of the mystery hidden in God:

8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; 9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: 10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, 11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: 12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.  (emphasis, mine)

We who know Him will be working with Him throughout eternity and He  desires us  to begin following Him in that way now in this age.  

This information has been somewhat different from anything I've shared here before, but we're living in a place and time we've never been before-transitioning from this age into a new one.  By the grace and the  goodness of God we can begin experiencing on an ever increasing level what restoration really means while on this earth, but seated in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus, because like Jesus told His disciples in Matthew 13:11 which remains true for us today:

...Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven...  (emphasis, mine)

Since this is a departure from what I normally post, I'd like to share a link with you, something I've never done before.  It will be information on how to get Dr Billye Brim's booklet entitled, The AUTHORITY of the BELIEVER & HOW TO USE IT.  I only share it because it's short, to the point, and very much anointed information of how to use the authority we already have as believers which came to us  at the same time  we accepted Jesus into our lives and we became a new creation in Him.   I share it because she is much more qualified than I to teach about our delegated authority  and how to use it which goes hand in hand with our eternal purpose.  

I also would like you to know that I do NOT receive any remuneration of any kind for giving this information to you.  Again,  I only share because it's so very valuable to have in the times in which we find ourselves living.

If you are interested in the booklet, just follow  this link and thank you for stopping by!

He has shown you, O man, what is good;

And what does the Lord require of you

But to do justly,

To love mercy,

And to walk humbly with your God
