2nd Chronicles 30:26-27. “So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem. Then the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy place, even unto heaven.”
RESTORATION. Right behind revival comes restoration – a sense of God comes alive. Even thought many have gone by the way – there is a good number of those who survive. The departure of years and generations have passed since holy things seemed so real. The time has come for the people to come together that our spiritual life can be healed.
We can’t compromise the commands of God, those things can never be changed But our approach to our brothers and sisters can be sufficiently rearranged That we can come together in unity and submit to do things God’s way. With an open Bible and the instructions read, it is only right to do what He does say.
What a wonder it would be if even a few from here and there would return to do what God said. There would be humility and grace, compassion and faith, as by the Holy Spirit we’re led. The “Passover Feast”- the remembrance kept alive and everyone would know That God was among us in restoration whenever the time came to go.
For two hundred years division had set in and such a Passover had not been kept. Bitterness of spirit reigned, each one determined his way was right, until the invitation was sent. Some rose to come, others stayed home and mocked, missing the blessing to come. When just for two weeks after sudden revival, a restoration was finally begun.
Sacrifices we make and them God does take to the degree in which they are given. Prayer is made and praised are raised, both of which reached right into heaven. What a joy it would be if such restoration we could see as we all bend unto God’s will. The common denominator is the Person who blesses, and the blessings that flow from Calvary’s hill.
Is it possible today that such restoration could happen here if people return to the place of His name? In that time long ago, it happened as a result when back to where they left, people came. Now I’m not thinking here of a geographical spot but if people would return to the Lord; They would find there would be a restoration that would be according to the truth of His Word.
In this place of contentment, I have no resentment against those who chose to leave. But it would bring great joy if some girl or boy who in time past in this place were saved Would return here to share in the blessings and cares of those who here keep the feast. If in faith they’d return, I know they would learn the wonder of enjoying His peace.
“Is it possible Father God, that there are some who would be willing to return to what they left? I know it is quite unlikely, but I do believe in restoration and it would bring great joy if it happened here. Restore unto us the joy of Thy salvation. Restore us to sincere commitment to Thee and Thy Word. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
