SERIES B:
RESTORATION OF GOD'S GLORY
RESTORATION OF GOD'S GLORY (1)
--- A Blessed Marriage
God wants the whole earth to experience and see His glory and goodness today, in every area of life.
Jesus taught us in the Lord's prayer that we are to ask for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
We can, therefore, ask for and receive God's glory and goodness in our homes and marriage today.
RESTORATION OF GOD'S GLORY (2)
--- Blessed and Godly Children
Our children belong to God.
They have been set apart for His use and glory (1 COR 7:14).
Therefore, God wants our children to receive His grace to be blessed, to be godly, and to be holy.
In this way, they will fulfill God's calling upon their lives to be mighty men and women of God.
No matter how our children were yesterday--- obedient or rebellious, godly or worldly, successful or failing---God wants to transform our children today into the likeness of Jesus, by the words of our lips.
RESTORATION OF GOD'S GLORY (3)
--- Total Healing and Health
Total healing and health are our birthright.
They are our inheritance in Christ.
God wants all His children to receive His healing for every sickness in our lives.
God wants all His children to live in perfect health at all times.
RESTORATION OF GOD'S GLORY (4)
--- Abundant Provision for Every Need
God has provided everything we need to fulfil our calling on this earth.
Every blessing in heaven belongs to each one of God’s children today.
God wants all His children to receive His provision for every need in our life and ministry.
He promises to supply all our needs from His riches in glory from heaven.
We must therefore believe in His word.
By faith, we can ask for whatever we need, believe it is done, and declare that the provision has come, and God will do what He has
promised, according to what we declare and decree.
RESTORATION OF GOD'S GLORY (5)
--- Revelation of God’s Love and Goodness
Our God is a good God, and His love for all His children endures forever.
His mercies for each of us never come to an end. They are new every morning.
He loves each of His children with an everlasting love.
He loves us so much that He has given His only Son to die for our sins and to give us every blessing of heaven today.
In His love, God is waiting to do good to us.
He rejoices to do good to us.
He will not stop doing good to us.
And He will give us anything that is good when we ask Him to do so.
RESTORATION OF GOD'S GLORY (6)
--- Forgiveness for Every Sin
The greatest act of love in all creation was when God sent His Son to die for the sins of the world.
All men have sinned, and the result of sin is destruction at the hands of the devil today and death in the fires of hell eternally.
However, God has a desire for a family of sons and daughters who will worship and serve Him in spirit and in truth, today and in heaven forever.
RESTORATION OF GOD'S GLORY (7) --- Friendship with God
God calls Abraham His friend.
Jesus calls His disciples His friends.
God wants to be a friend to you.
He wants you to be His friend.
As a friend, God is the best friend you can ever have, today on this earth and forever in eternity.
This is because He is always with you to help you.
There is no problem too hard for Him to solve in your life.
RESTORATION OF GOD'S GLORY (8)
--- Full Protection from Diseases and Disasters, Death and Destruction
God is our father; we are all His children.
As a Father to us, He wants to protect us from all diseases and disasters and destruction.
To do that, we need to do the following things:
... Always declare that God is our refuge and our fortress.
... Always cover ourselves and our loved ones with the blood of Jesus.
... Always confess our sins whenever we have sinned against God and man.
... Always obey the Holy Spirit as He leads us daily, so that we do not sin, and live under God’s constant protection.
RESTORATION OF GOD'S GLORY (9)
--- Reigning With Jesus over All Things
We have all been made kings and priests by the blood of Jesus.
As priests, we pray.
As kings, we make commands and decrees and declarations.
As priests and kings, we can rule over all things with Jesus.
As a king, we decree on earth what has been decreed in heaven.
Whatever God has revealed to us from heaven---His will, His plans, His secrets, His revelation--- we can decree on this earth.
Jesus said that whatever we decree on earth, God will do it for us.
And when God does what we decree on earth, we build God’s Kingdom on earth---in our lives, our families, our church our workplace, and our nation.
RESTORATION OF GOD'S GLORY (10) - Authority to remit or forgive or cancel sins
The word “authority” means “the right to use power.”
The “authority of God” means the “right to use the power of God.”
The first authority given by Jesus to His disciples after He rose from the dead was the “authority to
remit or forgive or cancel sins.”
In His ministry on earth, Jesus remitted the sins of everyone He prayed for.
And He has given us the authority to do the very same thing.
But most believers do not know about this great authority and much less know how to use it.
And because of this, their prayers are not effective or fruitful.
RESTORATION OF GOD'S GLORY (11)
--- Authority to Heal the Sick
Jesus has given His authority to all believers to heal the sick.
He gave this authority to us when He commissioned us to go and preach the Good News of the Kingdom of Heaven to all creation.
As we preach the Good News, we are commanded to heal the sick and cast out demons.
The Holy Spirit will confirm the words that we preach with miracles, signs, and wonders following the preaching of the Good News.
Jesus promised us that when we lay hands on the sick and pray for them, they will be healed.
RESTORATION OF GOD'S GLORY (12)
--- Authority to Cast Out Demons
Jesus has given His authority to all believers to cast out demons.
He gave this authority to us when He commissioned us to go and preach the Good News of the Kingdom of Heaven to all creation.
When Jesus commissioned the 12 apostles to preach the Good News of the Kingdom of Heaven, He gave them authority to cast out demons, heal the sick, and raise the dead.
He later told the apostles to teach all new believers to do likewise.
So all believers have the authority to cast out demons.
So just before Jesus ascended to heaven, He gave to all His disciples the Great Commission, as follows:
... Preach the Good News to all creation.
... Remit or forgive or cancel the sins of those you pray for.
... Heal the sick.
... Cast out demons.
... Raise the dead.
It is very simple to cast out demons from the demonised, if you know how to do it properly.
Every child of God---no matter how old or young he is, or whether he is a new believer or an old believer---can cast out demons easily from the oppressed.
