"Therefore this is what the Lord says: 'If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me; if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman. Let this people turn to you, but you must not turn to them.'" Jeremiah 15:19
We must be careful to repent and stay close to the Lord.
- "I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." - John 10:9-10
-"My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth! (Heb 11:3) ..He will not let you stumble (Jude 24-25).. The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever." Psalm 121:2-3,7-8
- "If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully keep all his commands...You will experience all these blessings if you obey the Lord your God (towns, field, children, crop, offspring, flock, fruit, bread). Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be blessed" Deuteronomy 28:1-6
Restoration is like sharpening a dull knife, so that it functions properly. We trust our lives in God's hands.
Only restored people can serve God. We do this by placing our lives in his hands (Romans 12). Service to God is revealed when we offer the best he's given to us back to him with an attitude of rejoicing for all he's accomplished. We received power when the Holy Spirit comes upon us and we are witness to His work through out the world (Acts 1:8).
Let the word of Christ dwell within you...(Col 3:16)
Don't turn to people (Psalm 1), let them turn to you (Matthew 5:16)
