Transcription

1 As sons of God we have relationship with God that leads to responsibility as sons We need to retake our heavenly positions, seated and enthroned to legislate the kingdom in heaven to manifest heaven on earth Therefore the context of legislation should be the restoration of all things back to God s original intent

2 We are going to embark on a journey to discover the full meaning of the restoration of all things We are going to look at the scope of restoration and the part we all have to play in restoration as sons of God

3 Acts 3:19 Therefore repent and return, so that the sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; 20 and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you, 21 whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.

4 Rom 8:14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,17 and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ..

5 If we are not restored as sons and heirs then creation will not be restored The restoration of all things begins with Jesus working in us and then through us now not in an event when He comes someday in the future

6 The biblical meaning of the word "restoration" is to receive back more than has been lost to the point where the final state is greater than the original condition. Therefore everything must be improved beyond the current or previous measure.

7 Hebrew meaning of restoration chadash - renew, renewed, repair, restore, restored. Arukah restoration, recovery, repair, healing, health, perfected The full meaning and full extent goes beyond anything ever seen before personally and materially

8 Greek Restoration apokatástasis Apo from katastasis first or original order Restoration, restitution, reestablishment, reconstitution Properly, restore back to original standing, i.e. that existed before a fall; re-establish, returning back to the (ultimate) ideal;

9 Figuratively restore back to full freedom (the liberty of the original standing); to enjoy again, i.e. what was taken away by a destructive or life-dominating power. Restoration must be applied to all lives individually as well as universally to the whole creation

10 Restore apokathístēmi, Apo from kathístēmi make or appoint to set one over a thing (in charge of it) to appoint one to administer an office to constitute, to render, make, cause to be Appoint back to the position and authority ordained or destined

11 The return of a monarch to a throne, a head of state to government, or a regime to power. The restoration is not only of the true theocracy but also of that more perfect state of (even physical) things which existed before the fall and would have existed without the fall

12 Synonyms for restoration: reinstatement, reinstitution, re-establishment, reinstallation, rehabilitation, returning, refurbishment, reconditioning, rehabilitation, reconstruction, remodelling, revamping, putting back, overhauling, fixing

13 We use many biblical words that begin with re because we need a lot of re-ing in our lives Re is apo from or away from The place anything originates, comes from, falls from, is taken from We need to reconnect to the original place of our conception God s heart

14 Restoration includes reconciling, renewing, repairing, rebuilding, returning, restitution, resurrecting, relationship, revelation even resting We all need a cosmic makeover of eternal proportions

15 Restoration of the identity that God intended us to have - sons Reconciling relationship to God each other and creation Returning to our original position of relationship and authority Repairing everything broken, damaged or fragmented

16 Restitution of everything that has ever been lost or stolen Renewing our destiny scroll and our minds and thinking to the mind of Christ Resurrecting our lives from all the effects of death Resting in the intimacy of love, joy and peace Revelation that flows from that intimate relationship

17 Eph 1:10 with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him Restoration conveys the thought of the return to an earlier or better state, rather than that of simple consummation or completion whole from God s view

18 Col 1:16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things have been created through Him and for Him. 18 He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.

19 In Genesis 1, the Hebrew word for created is bara. Bara is a verb used only for divine activity, God s divine creative activity produced the heavens and the earth and everything connected to them. Therefore, everything is an image of God and everything awaits restoration.

20 We have all been blessed and given the mandate for the created order to become fruitful again as intended We are responsible for subduing and ruling everything as heirs of creation As sons we are called to be active participators in the process of creations restoration

21 If we are not restored to sonship in identity, position and authority then creation itself cannot be restored Jesus is not coming to rescue us but His presence is continually restoring us so everything else can be restored Restored identity will lead to restored position in heaven and on earth

22 Rom 8:19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope

23 Rom 8:21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. Glory is the essence or full weight of the nature of something - sonship Adam was clothed with glory and we will be transfigured to that state again

24 Rom 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. 29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;

25 Rom 8:30 and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified. We are all predestined, called and justified and are being restored to the glorified state we came from

26 Restoration is like something never happened I came into awe and wonderment of Jesus's finished work from the cross to the throne. I said "Lord you made my sin as if it never happened!" He said, "remove the "as if"" I then said "Lord, You made my sin NEVER HAPPENED!!!"

27 Rom 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? These are all the things that are being restored back to us now

28 Rom 8:37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

29 Rom 8:19-21 Our lives now represent the one event every creature anticipates with held breath, standing on tip-toe as it were to witness the unveiling of the sons of God. Can you hear the drum-roll?

30 Rom 8:19-21 Every creature suffered abuse through Adam s fall; they were discarded like a squeezed-out orange. Creation did not volunteer to fall prey to the effect of the fall. Yet within this stark setting, hope prevails. All creation knows that the glorious liberty of the sons of God sets the stage for their own release from decay.

31 Rom 8:22-24 We sense the universal agony and pain recorded in history until this very moment. We ourselves feel the grief echo of their groaning within us while we are ready to embrace the original blueprint also of our physical stature to the full consequence of sonship. What we already now participate in as first fruits of the spirit will bloom into a full gathering of the harvest.

32 Rom 8:29 He pre-designed and engineered us from the start to be jointly fashioned in the same mould and image of his son according to the exact blueprint of his thought. We see the original and intended pattern of our lives preserved in his Son. He is the firstborn from the same womb that reveals our genesis. He confirms that we are the invention of God.

33 Rom 8:30 Jesus reveals that we preexisted in God; he defines us. He justified us and also glorified us. He redeemed our innocence and restored the glory we lost in Adam. 31 All these things point to one conclusion, God is for us! Who can prevail against us?

34 Rom 8:32 The gift of his son is the irrefutable evidence of God s heart towards us. He held nothing in reserve; but freely and undeservedly gave everything we could ever wish to have; this is what our joint sonship is all about. 33 God has identified us, who can disqualify us? His word is our origin. Noone can point a finger; he declared us innocent.

35 Rom 8:28 Meanwhile we know that the love of God causes everything to mutually contribute to our advantage. His Master Plan is announced in our original identity. We are all called according to his purpose meaning to surname us, to identify us by name. The sons of God

36 The deeper I have gone in relationship with the Father the more I have come to know the Father s heart Father s heart has two key priorities Restoration of our sonship Restoration of all things My journals are filled with conversations relating to sonship and restoration

37 Son it is important that My children know the difference between knowing about Me and being fathered by Me. Restoring contact is only the beginning. Being fathered is a much deeper relationship My desire is to share My heart, My thoughts and to show My children My ways not just My works.

38 I will include My children in the councils and assemblies of My heavenly abode not just reveal My domain when they reach the levels of maturity necessary My deepest desire is for My children to return to the place of their conception within the recesses of My heart

39 So that they can truly know Me and have a deeper revelation of who they are as My sons, heirs and inheritors of all that I have created for them and all that I have created them for. He has created everything for us and has created us for everything

40 My sons were conceived to be cocreators not just coheirs as they are all made in our image endued with the abilities of sonship. I desire to restore everything including your identity, position, authority, abilities, knowledge, wisdom, relationship and connection to the created order.

41 Son I desire to remove the limitations of the finite and the mortal nature of your minds and restore the limitlessness of your transcendent and infinite origins.

42 The restoration of all things is but the beginning not the end and includes your consciousness so that you can continue to expand and not be contained to restoration of what was but be free to be all that you are capable of being.

43 Son My mind is limitless and infinite and We designed Our children in our image to be like us, relational beings of limitless creative potential.

44 Son the limited, restricted, finite mortal existence experienced by all My children was never our intention but was the choice of mankind once it left the tree of life for the DIY tree existence of self limitations and restrictions

45 Son the possibilities are limitless for the restored mind, when body, soul and spirit are in harmony with each other and with the circle of our loving dance. Restoration is not just for the external that can be seen but also for all that cannot be seen and all that is within.

46 The full scope of restoration cannot be grasped by an unrenewed mind but nevertheless the reality still exists beyond beyond beyond the wildest dreams of even the most creative minds.

47 From the relative to the quantum, the visible, temporal and tangible to the invisible, eternal and intangible from the macro to micro, physical and spiritual, dimensional and trans-dimensional all will be restored to the original intention of My desires but that is only the return to what was intended to be the beginning not the end.

48 The body and the mind restored Eyes capable of seeing all wavelengths of light, ears capable of hearing all wavelengths of sound, bodies capable of multidimensional travel and existence, minds capable of creative expression, bodies capable of instantaneous reparation.

49 Restored to go beyond the works of Jesus to the greater works Jesus walked on water, walked through things, became invisible, created and manipulated matter, knew the thoughts and intentions of hearts Telepathic communication and telekinetic power, creative thought, translation, bilocation, pre & post cognition, time travel

50 Son your sonship is the only priority you need to focus on. For if My children begin to take their heavenly places as sons then they will be able to discern My heart's deepest desire which is the purity of a relationship that is being restored within the restoration of all things.

51 Son this is the love agenda where all things of the created order will be returned to relational connectedness within My unity. Son no one who becomes intimately acquainted with the thoughts and intentions of love revealed through knowing Me could fall to see their destiny within the desires of My heart.

52 I created all things to relate together unique and individual yet only fully complete when in the harmonious union of the whole. The removal of all fragmentation, fracturedness and brokenness to restore wholeness is the ultimate goal of restoration

53 I am continually working all things together for good to facilitate restored wholeness. It was My desire it is My desire and will continue to be My desire to restore wholeness Therefore there will never be an end to increasing peace throughout My expanding kingdom.

54 The scope of restoration is only limited by your minds. There is no end to the increase of My government and of peace and therefore restoration is but a season within seasons that are endless and unlimited.

55 Sonship is both your inheritance and your birthright and the reconciliation of relationship must lead to the restoration of responsibility. Son your destiny and that of all My children has always been to be seated with Me in authority within My kingdom.

56 We have made you in Our image to be co-creators. You have been given imagination and the ability to create reality but through lost identity you have created mainly chaos.

57 Restoration of relationship will lead to the restored identity as mature sons with increasing capacities as co-creators. As you become whole so will your sonship capabilities increase You are but seeing through a glass dimly but the full light of sonship will shine through the brightness of your rising.

58 A new hope with new dreams and new visions and fresh expectancy will emerge from the disappointment of false dawns. Out of the ashes of the old the sons of God will emerge with renewed vigour strength energy refreshed with the very breath of God.

59 The restoration of the sons of God will be like Joseph rising up from the hidden and obscure places coming out of the dungeon prison to take their places invested, enthroned seated in the heavenly places ruling and reigning as the mountain of the house of the Lord.

60 A new day is dawning arise and shine the light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. A new way for a new day and new order of sonship, the reality makers, history changers the restorers of the breach.

61 Personal restoration of Spirit, Soul and Body to original intention, condition and functionality Spirit to God relationship restored Spirit to eternity identity restored Spirit to all creation physical and spiritual

62 All soul restoration Soul and spirit Soul and body Restored DNA spirit soul and body Everything within the soul mind, emotions, will, conscience, imagination, reason, choice restored to innocence

63 All brokenness, fragmentation, separation, isolation, rejection restored All needs met for harmony, relationships, intimacy, union, unity, love, joy and peace, Mind restored to full creative capacity

64 Body restored to health and wholeness and all supernatural abilities Spirit being, living being, godlike being Breath of life restored DNA restored to 12 strands

65 Restored destiny and purpose Restored inheritance, identity, birthright, position, authority,

66 Engage God who is Father, Son and Spirit to ask the questions: What is missing from your life? What is broken in your life? What has been lost in your life? What has been robbed from your life? What is

67

68 Look into the eyes of the Prince of Peace those the deep pools of the way truth and life

69 Close your eyes and begin to think of Jesus and continue to look into those eyes Ask Jesus What is missing from your life? Ask Jesus What is broken in your life? Ask Jesus What has been lost in your life? Ask Jesus What has been robbed from your life?

70 Ask Jesus to restore you Ask Jesus take you beyond where you have been before Let Jesus take you back to your origin within the heart of God
