God Will Restore All That Needs to Be Restored!

by Tonja Taylor
8/26/2022 / Christian Living

24 And the [threshing] floors shall be full of grain and the vats shall overflow with juice [of the grape] and oil. 25 And I will restore or replace for you the years that the locust has eaten—the hopping locust, the stripping locust, and the crawling locust, My great army which I sent among you. 26 And you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord, your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you. And My people shall never be put to shame.--Joel 2:24-26, AMPC

When my 309-video YouTube channel got deleted, I had to work through condemnation, but the LORD helped me cast my cares on Him to refuse to worry, and rest in Him; to know God loved me anyway, and would revive and restore what HE wanted to be for these Last Days! He is forever faithful!

So, after processing a few emotions, connect to me questioning what mistake I'd made (like recently deleting an old email, which I was not aware would have caused the channel to be deleted, because the channel was not connected to that email, etc.)--although I figured it was the devil trying to stop God's voice through me, or just stealing, destroying and afflicting cause that's all he can do--I truly gave it to God.

I trust Him. He has been so good and merciful and faithful to us all! Even if it was meant for this channel to not exist anymore (although the purpose of it, of course, was to preach and teach the Word that all might hear and be saved and walk more victoriously with Jesus Christ!), then I (by the help of the Holy Spirit, of course!) chose to release it all to Him, and rest!

I was rejoicing in the midst of this, because, even just a year ago, this would have bothered me much more. I could see how the LORD had delivered me from much, including major "fears, agitating passions, and moral conflicts"--even though I had experienced these kind of mildly because I was questioning if I'd done it to myself, had wrong motives, etc. etc.

For he who has once entered [God’s] rest also has ceased from [the weariness and pain] of human labors, just as God rested from those labors peculiarly His own.--Hebrews 4:10, AMPC

No matter what happens, the LORD wants us to choose to release the negative emotions, thoughts, disapointments, unmet expectations, etc. to Him, for He loves us. Just like we don't want our loved ones to be stressed, the LORD our Father wants us to trust our emotions to Him, and allow Him to give us His peace.

(I'm preaching to myself. It took me decades to get this, and I will always be growing more like Christ as I seek Him, but praise the LORD, I finally got it! This involved prayed and repentance on my part, along with letting others pray for me/lay hands on me; continual reading and confessing and listening to the Word; worshiping the LORD, and choosing to be thankful through the mess and the miracles; and learning to walk in Love (I Corinthians 13:4-8, and I John 4:8. I certainly have not arrived, but the peace and joy--the rest!--I now and will enjoy are so worth it! Priceless! God is faithful to love us no matter what, and to see us as we really are in Him, including the "finished product" of our righteous positions as kings and priests of the Most High God, seated in Heavenly places with Him. Hallelujah!)

Yes, we have to allow Him to give us peace, althugh peace resides in us when we are born again by faith in Christ, through Jesus our Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). Hallelujah!

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.--Luke 19:10, AMPC

The LORD also showed me that Luke 19:10 applies not just to saving people--which is by far the main reason we are on the planet--to help others know Christ and be born again!--but to restore all that has been stolen from us, whether we know about it or not. (By the way, I've learned that we can repent not only for our sins, transgressions, and iniquities, but for those of our ancestors--and claim the lost inheritances and treasures and opportunities that were stolen from them by sin or ignorance! Hallelujah!)

It thrills me that, no matter what the enemy has stolen from us, the LORD--our faithful Daddy!--knows it all, and, because the blood of Jesus has paid for our total restoration, the LORD will help us work with Him, through the power of our words and obedience to His Word otherwise, to receive the full restoration of all that needs to be restored for these Last Days!

He showed me years ago that "rest" is the first part of "restoration"! Hallelujah!

By the way, the YouTube channel did get restored--I just checked today, and there it is!--and I give God all the praise and glory and thanksgiving! He always does Genesis 50:20 for us His kids--and when we trust in Him and wait on Him and stay in peace, He can work even more powerfully! Hallelujah!

Also, I'm thrilled (and you can be too!) because the LORD is so good, that when we do works for Him (which is not what makes us born again, praise the LORD; but only faith in the shed blood of Christ on the cross for us!); when we lift up Christ however He shows us to, so others may experience Jesus and know that He is Creator and Savior and LORD of all, then He rewards us for our works, too!

God is truly awesome and awesomely good! We bless His holy Name forever!

Then I heard further [perceiving the distinct words of] a voice from heaven, saying, Write this: Blessed (happy, to be envied) are the dead from now on who die in the Lord! Yes, blessed (happy, to be envied indeed), says the Spirit, [in] that they may rest from their labors, for their works (deeds) do follow (attend, accompany) them!--Revelation 14:13, AMPC

So claim your inheritance--which includes rest and restoration--in the Name of Jesus, and watch what the Living God, the Hope and Savior of the world, and our Righteousness--does! GLORY TO GOD!
