THE GOD OF RESTORATION

Scripture: PSALM 23:3, ISAIAH 61:1-3


The God of Restoration
David Cawston
Psalm 23:3; Isaiah 61:1-3



Introduction:

There has been a thief who has stolen by deception from us the original state God held from man. Jesus talks about him.

John 10:10

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly."

Stolen from us is the ideal God had.
Instead, we have wound up with:

-hatred
-strife
-bitterness
-jealousy
-perversion
-sickness
-disease

Galatians 4:22 pictures for us the restored state God wants for us. Paul paints in the "Fruit of the Spirit"

"love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control"

This is what the enemy has ravaged and stolen from us.
The Psalmist says:

"He restores my soul."

God wants you to put the brokenness, the hurt, the pain and the anguish of your life in His hands for restoration.
The Psalmist says:

"He restoreth my soul."

I. Believe

Matthew 19:26 says:

"With men this is impossible; but with God all things
are possible."

Jesus had come from the mount of transfiguration that child was laying on the ground foaming at the mouth. He was having a seizure.

Mark 9:23

"If you could believe all things are possible to him that believeth."

And He healed the child.
