Isaiah 58:11
Last week, we talked about how God desires that we be healed healers.
Isaiah 58:11 The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. 12 Those from among you Shall build the old waste places; You shall raise up the foundations of many generations; And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.
From Isaiah 58, we have studied that God's intention is that we be a:
RIVER - not a stagnant pool of water, but a spring or fountain of water that becomes a river of life to others. He desires to refresh us with His presence, heal us with His Spirit, and use us to bring living water to others.
REBUILDER - Rebuilder of old waste places. when we have been built on the solid rock who is Christ and Jesus has forgiven us of the ruins we made of our lives, He desires to use us to rebuild others. God rebuilt us from the burnt stones and the rubble of our sinful past and He uses our testimony to bring stability and healing to others.
REPAIRER - Repairer of the Breach. A repairer that fills in the gaps, the holes and the missing pieces in people's hearts and lives with the love of Jesus. Jesus' love fills the gaps and repairs the broken and missing pieces. We as the church help turn the focus away from the missing pieces to helping them find WHOLENESS in Him!
RESTORER - Restorer of Streets to Dwell In. We can help people come out from the shadows, from the prison of hiding and come to a safe place. The church is to be that place of safety and healing. Too many people have been burned by the church and we are called to be RESTORERS and HEALERS to the Body of Christ. When a house burns down, they call the restorers to come in. We are the restorers.
