RESTORATION


Hosea 6:1



“Come, let us return to the Lord; for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down, and he will bind us up."

 
This life and our existence is, no doubt, a journey.  From the womb to the grave GOD is revealing the plan he has chosen for us and we are moving through each day living and responding to the situations GOD is placing upon us.  We wonder what the next chapter will hold, or why GOD has allowed us to experience pain and loss.  But GOD is preparing us for His work in this fallen world.  You see since the fall GOD has had you (and everyone else) on His mind and began a work of redemption that included sacrificing his own Son to pay debt that sin had caused.  GOD ultimate goal is to restore us and show us he loves us.  This world and our passage through it are a story and journey of restoration.

With that said, every moment and situation of your life are points of transition. God is pulling, tearing, and knocking us down in order to build us up bigger and stronger than before.  This action is a vision of the transition and transformation that awaits all who love him in the world to come.

I want you to go through every storm knowing that your pain has a purpose.  I want you to realize that your hardships are part of a plan.  Even death will lead to a new existence.  So if you are in the middle of a storm or life altering chapter in your life, remember when you are getting torn apart, or knocked down, GOD will build you back up.   God will heal you and restore you. 

 

I love you always and in all ways.


Rev. M. Harrison

HARVEST TIME!

Galatians 6:9 New International Version (NIV) 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Have you ever been working, waiting, or standing in the gap for anyone? In such times of testing and prayer did you ever think how easy it would be to give up? It seems that while we are going through we loose sight of the goal GOD has set before us! We focus on our discomfort and take the burden onto our own backs instead of leaning on GOD's everlasting arms. The struggle itself is not the problem. However, our main problem is our human condition. We cannot do it all on our own. We must constantly look in the mirror and remind ourselves that we are not alone. . . Ever! We must remember who our GOD is. GOD will never allow you to go through a problem without bringing you to your blessing. It may take more time than you would like to endure. However the outcome and harvest gained is what's needed. If you are ...

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint" (Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV). Do Not Grow Weary In Waiting!!! I have realized that we live in a society that has trained us to have everything "right now" and our way. We have become experts in getting our children to stop having temper tantrums. We grow weary when we even think about how long something may take. And the thought of working through a rough patch in our lives and marriages seems like the thing not to do. I mean!! Half of our marriages end in divorce. How can Christians fight for marri...

LOVE. . . EVEN WHEN IT HURTS!

John 4:7-8 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.  _____________________________ It sounds so easy! “Love one another”! But it is a task that takes practice and the Holy Spirit working within us to accomplish.   IT is easy to love a friend or a family member. Those who are good to us make it easy. But what about our enemies? How can we love them?   This verse does not exclude our enemies.   Those who push our buttons need our love the most.   Those who we must pray for daily need to see Christ in each one of us.   And please remember to others we are that person that needs prayer as well. Bottom Line: Loving others the way GOD loves us is not an easy task. It takes the spirit of GOD working in side of us to accomplish.   It takes the death of the old us and the new nature of Christ living in...
