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

Never Lose You!

Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? _____________________________________________________ The world would have you believe that it has all of the answers.   The world will tell you that what you see, hear, feel, touch and smell is all that is real and worth living for.   But you may not know or understand that living for the rewards of this world come at a cost.   The world’s influence, when used as the blueprint for living, takes your heart and shapes it to its will leaving you an empty shell of who you really are. Nothing in this world is worth changing who you are in Christ.   There is no middle ground in the issue.   Yes, we are all a work in progress and live in this world, but who we are is not dictated by anything or anyone in this world.   Who you are is worth more than whatever this world has to offer.   Do not chase the image the world is selling you.   Unless...

NO MATTER WHAT!

Jeremiah 17:7-8 But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." ______________________________________________ Watching the news and living in a world that seems to have given way to fits of pandemonium it seems as if hope is in short supply.   Each week we get reports of shootings, world hunger, sickness and corruption.   How can anyone be truly blessed when the world is going down.   Like a neighborhood that once was the cream of the Crop that has begun to be run down, our world needs a revival and rejuvenation.   This time and moment are the birth pains that will give way for that revival.   No matter what the world news is reporting! No matter what you hear or see! No matter what tools Satan employs: ...

TIME!

James 4:14   Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. __________________________________________________________ Our plans and plots are events that we try to cram into the short time we have on this earth.   The term YOLO is very true.   We only have one life, and one short chance to live and make a difference in this world.   When we make plans for our lives we are, at best, looking at a very small slice of time.   Our time is like a seed.   A seed is small!  Yet it will leave a legacy that will be manifested in the tree and fruit that is produced.   The seed will die but what it leaves behind speaks to what was planted.   What have you decided to do with your time?   Strive to let your life edify God and leave a legacy of love via your life of expression.   Express the gift that God has given you through His son Jesus Chris...
