Summary: God wants to restore you in Jesus: “I will rebuild the ruins” “I will restore the years the locus have devoured”
A recent news item about the restoration of a WW 2 Hurricane fighter plane:
The reporter said: “so this plane is as good as new?” NO its better than new!
DUET 28:
28:1 "If you fully obey all of these commandments of the Lord your God, the laws I am declaring to you today, God will transform you into the greatest nation in the world.
2 These are the blessings that will come upon you:
3 Blessings in the city, Blessings in the field;
4 Many children, Ample crops, Large flocks and herds;
5 Blessings of fruit and bread;
6 Blessings when you come in, Blessings when you go out.
7 "The Lord will defeat your enemies before you; they will march out together against you but scatter before you in seven directions!
8 The Lord will bless you with good crops and healthy cattle, and prosper everything you do when you arrive in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
9 He will change you into a holy people dedicated to himself; this he has promised to do if you will only obey him and walk in his ways.
SIGNPOSTS
13 If you will only listen and obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I am giving you today, he will make you the head and not the tail, and you shall always have the upper hand.
14 But each of these blessings depends on your not turning aside in any way from the laws I have given you; and you must never worship other gods.
But you say brother Ian I have tried to live the life and I CANT BE GOOD!
God knows that: and He has made provision for you:
The bible says:
10 As the Scriptures say, "No one is good--no one in all the world is innocent."
11 No one has ever really followed God’s paths or even truly wanted to.
12 Every one has turned away; all have gone wrong. No one anywhere has kept on doing what is right; not one.
You see Gods plan for you to be whole include being set free from the Sin in our lives:
God wants to restore you in Jesus:
His word says things like:
“I will rebuild the ruins”
“I will restore the years the locus have devoured”
“I will give you a new heart”
“I will make you whole”
“I will heal you”
Sin that has entered through ignoring the signposts:
Our Parents and grandparents ignoring the signposts
Sins of dishonesty, Sins if destruction & murder, Sexual sins, and most of all Sins of Idolitory and ignoring God:
At this stage can you all see we are sinners:?
God wants to restore you: Body soul and Spirit:
Romans 6:23: Story of speeding son of Judge:
We must recieve forgiveness.
To recieve we need to repent:
Rev 3:20:
Come to Jesus let Him restore you today
