GOD RESTORES BETTER THAN BEFORE 1-29-23 VIDEO restore BOTTOM LINE 2

God restores better than before. He goes beyond what you had to a place of new strength. Your place of greatest weakness becomes your place of greatest strength. A broken bone when healed becomes stronger than before. Restore or restoration is to make better than before, that’s the Bible translation of restore. We must open our eyes to the way the Father feels and thinks about us. The church will be the greatly restored in these days. It won’t look familiar, but it will be God’s original intention. 

Our restoration is not to be like Adam, but to be the man from heaven. Jesus is not hiding in heaven for some future time when all might see him. He is right now the restoration of all things.

2 Cor 5:19 It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but cancelling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favor).

20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God. AMP

▼▼▼

2 COR 5:19 Our ministry declares that Jesus did not act independently of his Father. God was present in Christ when he reconciled the total cosmos to himself. Deity and humanity embraced in him; the fallen state of mankind was deleted; their trespasses would no longer count against them! He now announces his friendship with every individual from within us!

20 The voice God has in Christ he now has in us; we are God’s ambassadors. Our lives exhibit the urgency of God to persuade everyone to realize the reconciliation of their redeemed identity. MIRROR

1 Cor 15:45 Thus it is written, The first man Adam became a living being (an individual personality); the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit [restoring the dead to life].  

46 But it is not the spiritual life which came first, but the physical and then the spiritual.

47 The first man [was] from out of earth, made of dust (earthly-minded); the second Man [is] the Lord from out of heaven.  

48 Now those who are made of the dust are like him who was first made of the dust (earthly-minded); and as is [the Man] from heaven, so also [are those] who are of heaven (heavenly-minded).

49 And just as we have borne the image [of the man] of dust, so shall we and so let us also bear the image [of the Man] of heaven.  AMP

▼▼▼

1 COR 15:45 It is recorded in Scripture how the first Adam became a living soul; the last Adam is a life radiating spirit. In partaking of resurrection life now, we radiate the Christ life. Jesus is the last Adam; when he died mankind’s Adamic reference died. Jesus is the head of the human race. Human life is not defined by Adam but defined in Christ.

46 Physical life is the platform for spiritual life.

47 Human life was reduced to slavery and the soul-ruled earthly realm through Adam’s fall but is now awakened to lordship in the heavenly realm of spiritual realities through the knowledge of our co-resurrection with Christ.

48 The reduced state of the individual left its mark on mankind as being earthly; now the redeemed state of mankind confirms their origin in God and marks their new heavenly life.

49 Just as we were once defined by the flesh [our earthly image] we are now defined by our spirit [our heavenly] image. MIRROR ▼

20 And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah), Who before was designated and appointed for you — even Jesus,

21 Whom heaven must receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all that God spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the most ancient time in the memory of man].  AMP

Acts 3:19 Let this be your wake-up call once and for all. Face the fact that your sins and scars were completely blotted out, and return to the one you have wandered from. Now you may encounter times of total rejuvenation in the face to face, immediate embrace of the Lord.

20 Jesus is the authentic Christ, the one whom the prophets spoke about all along; he is the desire of the nations, the very One you longed for; the one and only Messiah, who was to be sent to you.

21 Jesus is the theme of God’s conversation, from the earliest ages; through the lips of the prophets who carried the Messiah in the womb of their words. He was to be held all along in the unseen heavenly realm for a time such as this. He is the ‘restoration of all things. Mirror

Jesus is the only good news. King of kings. No greater or higher name. He is celebrated by the throngs of angels in heaven. We honor and come before him with all of our hearts.

Mark 1:7 As he preached he said, “The real action comes next: The star in this drama, to whom I’m a mere stagehand, will change your life.

8 I’m baptizing you here in the river, turning your old life in for a kingdom life. His baptism — a holy baptism by the Holy Spirit — will change you from the inside out.”

John 1:16 We all live off his generous bounty, gift after gift after gift.

17 We got the basics from Moses, and then this exuberant giving and receiving,

This endless knowing and understanding —  all this came through Jesus, the Messiah.

18 No one has ever seen God, not so much as a glimpse. This one-of-a-kind God-Expression, who exists at the very heart of the Father, has made him plain as day. MSG  ▼▼▼

JOHN 1:16 He is the source of our completeness. Everyone may now realize their own completeness as evidenced in him. This is grace mirrored in grace!

17 The law was given through Moses; grace and truth have their genesis in Jesus Christ. Against the stark backdrop of the law, with Moses representing the condemned state of mankind, Jesus Christ unveils grace and truth!  

18 Until this moment God remained invisible; now the authentic, incarnate begotten Son, the blueprint of our design who represents the innermost being of God, the Son who is in the bosom of the Father, brings him into full view! He is the official authority qualified to announce God! He is our guide who accurately declares and interprets the invisible God within us.  MIRROR

Rom 1:4-6 And [as to His divine nature] according to the Spirit of holiness was openly designated the Son of God in power [in a striking, triumphant and miraculous manner] by His resurrection from the dead, even Jesus Christ our Lord (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

5 It is through Him that we have received grace (God’s unmerited favor) and [our] apostleship to promote obedience to the faith and make disciples for His name’s sake among all the nations,

6 And this includes you, called of Jesus Christ and invited [as you are] to belong to Him. ▼▼▼

Rom 1:4 This unique identity as Son of God was shown by the Spirit when Jesus was raised from the dead, setting him apart as the Messiah, our Master.

5 Through him we received both the generous gift of his life and the urgent task of passing it on to others who receive it by entering into obedient trust in Jesus.

John 1:9 There it was — the true Light [was then] coming into the world [the genuine, perfect, steadfast Light] that illumines every person. 

10 He came into the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him [did not know Him].

11 He came to that which belonged to Him [to His own — His domain, creation, things, world], and they who were His own did not receive Him and did not welcome Him.

12 But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name — AMP

JOHN 1:9 A new day for mankind has come. The authentic light of life that illuminates everyone was about to dawn in the world!

10 Although no one took any notice of him, he was no stranger to the world; he always was there and is himself the author of all things.

11 It was not as though he arrived on a foreign planet; he came to his own, yet his own did not recognize him.

12 Everyone who realizes their association in him, convinced that he is their original life and that his name defines them, God gives the assurance that they are indeed his offspring, begotten of him; he sanctions the legitimacy of their sonship.  MIRROR

John 1:14  And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth.  AMP

JOHN 1:14 Suddenly the invisible, eternal Word takes on visible form – the Incarnation, on display in a flesh and blood Person, as in a mirror! In him, and now confirmed in us! The most accurate tangible exhibit of God’s eternal thought finds expression in human life! The Word became a human being; we are his address; he resides in us! He captivates our gaze!

Only grace can communicate truth in such complete context!  MIRROR

ROM 5:1 The conclusion is clear: our blameless innocence has absolutely nothing to do with something we did to qualify ourselves; it is what happened to us, solely because of our Lord Jesus Christ’s doing. Faith, and not reward, is the only valid basis for righteousness! Let us now fully engage this seamless union in our face to face friendship with God!

Romans 5:17 Death once held us in its grip, and by the blunder of one man, death reigned as king over humanity. But now, how much more are we held in the grip of grace and continue reigning as kings in life, enjoying our regal freedom through the gift of perfect righteousness in the one and only Jesus, the Messiah!

¹⁸In other words, just as condemnation came upon all people through one transgression, so through one righteous act of Jesus’ sacrifice, the perfect righteousness that makes us right with God and leads us to a victorious life is now available to all. TPT

▼▼▼

ROM 5:17 Death no longer has the final say. Life rules! If the effect of one man’s crash-landing engaged mankind in a death-dominated lifestyle how much more advantaged is the very same mankind now that they are the recipients of the boundless reservoirs of grace, empowering them to enjoy the dominion of life through the gift of righteousness because of that one man, Jesus Christ. Grace is out of all proportion in superiority to the transgression.

18 The conclusion is clear: if one offence condemns the entire human race; then in principle, the righteousness of one vindicates the entire human race.  MIRROR

ROM 5:21 Death provided sin its platform and power to reign from; now grace has taken over sovereignty through righteousness to introduce unthreatened life under the Lordship of Jesus Christ over us.  A simple equation: We were not made sinners by our own disobedience; neither were we made righteous by our own obedience.  The same humanity represented in the one man Adam, is triumphantly represented in the one man Jesus Christ!  Adam’s transgression no longer holds the human race hostage.  MIRROR

Do not allow the old mindset of a future tense glory to intoxicate you and distract you from the relevance of this moment! Stop pointing to a future Messiah! Jesus is who the Prophets pointed to! You are the fruit of his sufferings; you are the glorious resurrection generation! Fully engage your minds with the consequence of this grace in the revelation of Jesus Christ!

Heb 12:22  No, that’s not your experience at all. You’ve come to Mount Zion, the city where the living God resides. The invisible Jerusalem is populated by throngs of festive angels

23 and Christian citizens. It is the city where God is Judge, with judgments that make us just.

24 You’ve come to Jesus, who presents us with a new covenant, a fresh charter from God. He is the Mediator of this covenant. The murder of Jesus, unlike Abel’s — a homicide that cried out for vengeance — became a proclamation of grace.

25 So don’t turn a deaf ear to these gracious words. If those who ignored earthly warnings didn’t get away with it, what will happen to us if we turn our backs on heavenly warnings?

26 His voice that time shook the earth to its foundations; this time — he’s told us this quite plainly — he’ll also rock the heavens: “One last shaking, from top to bottom, stem to stern.”

27 The phrase “one last shaking” means a thorough housecleaning, getting rid of all the historical and religious junk so that the unshakable essentials stand clear and uncluttered.

28 Do you see what we’ve got? An unshakable kingdom! And do you see how thankful we must be? Not only thankful, but brimming with worship, deeply reverent before God. For God is not an indifferent bystander.

Matt 19:28  Jesus replied, “Yes, you have followed me. In the re-creation of the world, when the Son of Man will rule gloriously, you who have followed me will also rule, starting with the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 And not only you, but anyone who sacrifices home, family, fields — whatever — because of me will get it all back a hundred times over, not to mention the considerable bonus of eternal life.

30 This is the Great Reversal: many of the first ending up last, and the last first.  MSG

2 Cor 5:19 It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but cancelling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favor).

20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God. AMP

▼▼▼

2 COR 5:19 Our ministry declares that Jesus did not act independently of his Father. God was present in Christ when he reconciled the total cosmos to himself. Deity and humanity embraced in him; the fallen state of mankind was deleted; their trespasses would no longer count against them! He now announces his friendship with every individual from within us!

20 The voice God has in Christ he now has in us; we are God’s ambassadors. Our lives exhibit the urgency of God to persuade everyone to realize the reconciliation of their redeemed identity. MIRROR

1 Cor 15:45 Thus it is written, The first man Adam became a living being (an individual personality); the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit [restoring the dead to life].  

46 But it is not the spiritual life which came first, but the physical and then the spiritual.

47 The first man [was] from out of earth, made of dust (earthly-minded); the second Man [is] the Lord from out of heaven.  

48 Now those who are made of the dust are like him who was first made of the dust (earthly-minded); and as is [the Man] from heaven, so also [are those] who are of heaven (heavenly-minded).

49 And just as we have borne the image [of the man] of dust, so shall we and so let us also bear the image [of the Man] of heaven.  AMP

▼▼▼

1 COR 15:45 It is recorded in Scripture how the first Adam became a living soul; the last Adam is a life radiating spirit. In partaking of resurrection life now, we radiate the Christ life. Jesus is the last Adam; when he died mankind’s Adamic reference died. Jesus is the head of the human race. Human life is not defined by Adam but defined in Christ.

46 Physical life is the platform for spiritual life.

47 Human life was reduced to slavery and the soul-ruled earthly realm through Adam’s fall but is now awakened to lordship in the heavenly realm of spiritual realities through the knowledge of our co-resurrection with Christ.

48 The reduced state of the individual left its mark on mankind as being earthly; now the redeemed state of mankind confirms their origin in God and marks their new heavenly life.

49 Just as we were once defined by the flesh [our earthly image] we are now defined by our spirit [our heavenly] image. MIRROR ▼

Joel 2:25 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.

27 And you shall know, understand, and realize that I am in the midst of Israel and that I the Lord am your God and there is none else. My people shall never be put to shame.   AMP Caterpillar- as destructive; canker worm- devouring a simile of scattering and disappearing  locust- “repeatedly.”

Acts 3:19  So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord;

20 And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah), Who before was designated and appointed for you — even Jesus,

21 Whom heaven must receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all that God spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the most ancient time in the memory of man].  AMP

Acts 3:19 Let this be your wake-up call once and for all. Face the fact that your sins and scars were completely blotted out, and return to the one you have wandered from. Now you may encounter times of total rejuvenation in the face to face, immediate embrace of the Lord.

20 Jesus is the authentic Christ, the one whom the prophets spoke about all along; he is the desire of the nations, the very One you longed for; the one and only Messiah, who was to be sent to you.

21 Jesus is the theme of God’s conversation, from the earliest ages; through the lips of the prophets who carried the Messiah in the womb of their words. He was to be held all along in the unseen heavenly realm for a time such as this. He is the ‘restoration of all things. Mirror
