RESTORATION-HOW FAR DOES IT GO?
I'm sure you've heard the gospel song pleading with God, asking if he could just make it in. Listening to it, we get the picture of someone diving through the gate of heaven, catching their coat tail as it closes. A person with that in their thinking lives a life of high anxiety, hoping and wishing that somehow God would have mercy on them and let them into his heaven.
Much of the protestant church, in its early formation, taught that you would not know you were saved until the end of time when you either went to heaven or hell. It was the influential evangelist in the early 1800s by the name of Charles Finney who brought out the mourner's bench. He invited people to come forward and kneel at that bench, and when they got up, they would know they were saved.
He was persecuted and ran out of town and, In some cases, lied about and accused by the old guard who didn't believe you could know you were saved. When that revelation of restitution and restoration came to the church, it changed the structure of our beliefs.
That's what Paul the apostle meant when he said, "I know in whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed under him against that day."
You can know with certainty that you have been restored to the Father when you open your spirit, heart, and soul to the truth of God's word.
So, how far does restoration go? The apostle Paul said beyond what you can ask or think. Today's homework: find your meditation chair and let your asking and thinking go wild, and when you're exhausted, you're just heading into God's territory of restoration.

A LIVING PICTURE OF JESUS CHRIST OUR RISEN LORD AND SAVIOR
So you want to see Jesus in the full manifestation of his glory? Then let's take a look at him through the eyes of John the revelator after the resurrection and Christ ascension to the father. After all, the last book in the Bible, the vision that John witnessed on the isle of Patmos, is called the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
There's a great majority of the body of Christ that believe that the book of revelation is all about the antichrist, Gog and Magog ,and the final days of history.
I've always thought it was a curious question why John, the revelator would send this message and vision to the churches of Asia. What would be so expedient about the churches hearing this message of something that was going to happen thousands of years in the future?.
Also, the reading of this book, and this revelation was promised to bring them hope and encouragement, and a blessing from the Lord. I think it would be something like calling the fire department with my house is on fire and they tell me they will be here in 2000 years.
What you're looking at when you read and meditate upon the book of revelation is a picture of Jesus Christ as he was when John, the revelator witnessed it. The language of the book was totally understood by the early church, because they had been raised on the signs and symbols of the Old Testament.
Come with me for a moment as I read the 10th chapter of revelations from the passion Bible as it describes Jesus Christ a mighty angel, and extremely powerful messenger. Rejoice with me as we witness Jesus Christ our risen Savior in full action.

WHO ARE YOU COMPLETING ON THIS JOURNEY OF FAITH?
Have you ever considered the cloud of witnesses mentioned in Hebrews chapters 11 and 12 as personal in your walk of faith? In Hebrews 11, we have been given a list of men and women in the old covenant who walk by faith and hope in the future of God's promises. They lived in hope without receiving the fullness of what was promised them.
In the first verse of chapter 12 of Hebrews, they are called witnesses or martyrs that surround us like a cloud. Then, the Scriptures tell us that we have a responsibility now that we live in the new covenant to fulfill their journey because of Christ's cross and resurrection.
This idea of fulfilling the life and ministry of someone who has already stepped over into eternity is a powerful thought. The writer of Hebrews is first concerned about the shift from the old covenant to the new covenant. The old covenant saints could not be fulfilled because the cross and resurrection had not happened yet. However, they walked by faith that it would happen and hoped that God was faithful to his promise.
Another way to look at this experience of fulfilling what the Saints could not fulfill intrigues me. Contrary to the theology I was raised on, I believe we can interact with the saints of old by God's direction.
If we are operating by the "spiritual rule of thumb," that is what Jesus did, we can also do because as he is, so are we in this world.
We understand that on the mount of Transfiguration, Jesus interacted with Moses and Elias, saints that had gone on before.
I also remember that when Jesus rose from the dead, over 500 saints from the former covenant were resurrected and seen by many in the city. The clouds that Jesus ascended on were the witnesses or the Saints of the old covenant going up with him.
I hear reports from spiritual leaders worldwide that I respect who interact with Enoch, Moses, David, and others.
The test of this, of course, is that everything leads to Christ.
Another way to view the fulfillment of the cloud of witnesses on the other side of the veil is in our personal lives and what God has called us to. Paul reminded Timothy that he was a generational person of faith. His grandmother had faith that she passed on to his mother. His mother's increased faith was passed on to Timothy.
Because of that, Timothy was fulfilling the life of his grandmother and his mother through his actions of faith and the power of the Holy Ghost.
So be aware that you first have the responsibility to walk in the new covenant and fulfill what the old covenant people could not.
Second, because the veil between us and the spiritual world is so thin today, God is allowing some of those witnesses to come and speak to us about the kingdom.
And thirdly, in your personal walk, you are fulfilling what your forefathers started. Your faith is a magnification, a supernatural increase of what they planted in you as spiritual seeds.

THE CHRISTMAS CACTUS
Hallelujah, we made it through Thanksgiving. Now, the next big hurdle to jump is the Christmas season. Everyone you know faces this season differently. Some great planners purchase gifts long before the season comes and stash them away for that big day.
My grandmother was like that. She had a couch in her front room with a compartment underneath, and all of us kids knew that was where the presents were for Christmas. And that was in the middle of summer.
On the other hand, some wait until the last few days and then frantically rush around trying to figure out what Uncle John wants for Christmas.
Well, some of that is in our DNA. We may be stuck with who we are because of our genes, etc. That's an opinion, not a fact.
I stood next to a grand piano yesterday, looking at the Christmas cactus. The original was taken from a very old cactus. My mother had her grand piano passed on to my sister. You could call this the Esther cactus because it only blooms once a year at Christmas.
The story of Esther is that she was chosen to be the wife of the king because of her grace and beauty. So, to prepare for that, they took one year, during which she was separated from everything else, in preparation for that grand day.
The underlying story of Esther is God's planning and how he places us in the proper place at the appropriate time to change the course of history. You and I may not change the course of nations as Esther did, but it's just as important to God that our world be also changed.
As I looked closer at this Christmas cactus, I noticed the dainty little beautiful flowers starting to bloom. Then, I looked further into the plant and saw the solid and stout branches holding the small ones.
I thought of the body of Christ and how the strong saints of God secure and hold steady the young Christian babies growing up in Christ.
Some of us only bloom occasionally, but when we do, it's beautiful, and people applaud the fact that God gave such lovely things to the world.
You may be the tender plant, the little flower on the end, or the solid branch that holds the delicate flower. The critical thing to remember is that we have all been created to bring beauty and the love of God to the world around us.
Merry pre-pre-pre-Christmas

THE PROPHETIC DREAM-HOW DOES IT WORK?
If your spiritual antennas are up, you will have noticed the rise of the mystic ministry in the nations of the world. For some believers, this would be brand new because of the need for teaching or revelation in the body of Christ at large.
However, according to the definition of the word, the shocking reality to many who sit in church and listen to weekly sermons about God and the Holy Ghost is that they are mystics themselves.
The dictionary tells us that a mystic is:
"A person who seeks by contemplation and self-surrender to obtain unity or absorption into the deity. Or who believes in the spiritual apprehension of truths that are beyond the intellect."
Sitting in our comfortable church seats on Sunday morning and listening to the teaching of Jesus and our heavenly father, we are listening to mystical revelation beyond the intellect.
The apostle Paul told us that the natural man cannot comprehend the things of the spiritual world. Why is that? To understand the mysteries of God, we must step into the world of faith, which has another name called mystical understanding.
You can't see God, but you believe in him. You believe in him because you've stepped out of your natural ability to comprehend things by touch, taste, and sight. And you have entered the world of the Mystic?
Unfortunately, many believers missed this because they relate to a mystic as a bearded, long-robed person living in a cave like the old prophets in the Testaments.
It's certainly true about some of the well-known mystics of the past. That's precisely what they did. However, the Scriptures tell us that we are all born from the same father with the same DNA and the same ability to communicate with our heavenly father through prayer, meditation, and spiritual engagement into the heavenly realms of his presence.
One of the many gateways we have available to enter that heavenly realm is our dream life. We have heard many teachings on the celebrated dreams in the Testament that brought great revelation and deliverance. Yet, somehow, theologians did not pass it on to us as modern-day believers.
A typical response when we speak of having a dream is the "pizza dream syndrome." They blame it on the fact that you had the wrong thing to eat before you went to bed, dismissing any spiritual revelation.
In this season, the body of Christ is in its time to embrace our mystical roots and the fact that we are spiritual people who can see into and enter into the very presence of the Lord in tangible ways.
Embrace your mystical heritage.

UPON THIS ROCK, WE BUILD
While listening to the recounting of our Thanksgiving memorial as a nation, these few thoughts dropped in my spirit that I want to share today about the founding of this great nation we live in.
As our forefathers came to this land, several major miracles made the difference between success and failure.
First, we are the only nation founded as a Christian nation based upon the laws of God and the Bible from its inception. We are the only nation where rulership is from the bottom up, not the top down. This is what our Bill of Rights and Constitution means: the people have a voice regarding who is in charge and who will lead us.
Another central foundation stone in this nation is property rights, with a legal paper proving to the officials that we own this land we live on.
Another unique thing was that each person could get involved in a free market, trading and making a profit for themselves.
All these things were not true in the other nations the people came from. Yet God provided us a place to plant seeds of freedom that might grow into a tree big enough to bless the world.
The first two miracles that stood out to me in the early days are so identified with God's timing that they can't be denied.
The ones who founded Jamestown in Virginia came near starvation in the first year because they did not plant crops to eat through the winter. They ended up eating rats, dung, and shoelaces, so the historians tell us.
When the winner had ended, they packed their ship up, having given up on the founding of Jamestown, and headed for home. With all practical understanding, this experiment was over.
As they got to the mouth of the Potomac River, heading into the Great Ocean, they met another ship from England with all the supplies they needed and people to help them.
Only in a two-hour window of time did God perform a miracle. Did Jamestown become the founding city of that region?
The second miracle is even more impressive of God's timing and planning. It concerns the founding of the New England area with the pilgrims.
The Native American Indian that God had pre-arranged to be the one to save them from starvation and conflict with the neighboring native tribes is a miracle story in itself. Years before he was taken captive as an enslaved person, back to England, a group of monks purchased him and taught him English and Spanish and how to read and write. Then, they gave him his freedom, and he came back to his native land, joining himself in the neighboring tribe.
He was the one who walked into their camp one day, speaking English, teaching them about the seeds that would grow best, and negotiating peace with the tribes that were around.
Because of God's timing, the founding of this nation took seed.
We are definitely built on the rock Christ Jesus.

THE POWER AND PURPOSE OF A THANKFUL HEART
Have you ever considered the incredible wonder of the world's great orchestras when they gather fifty musicians and make music together? We call it music because it is coordinated, balanced, in tune, and on time. The second thing we notice is that they all focus on one person in front of them. We call the conductor.
As long as those fifty individuals exercise their talents on various instruments and follow the conductor, the crowd will cheer and go home, amazed at the genius of the conductor.
When the natural man refers to staying in tune with the balance of the earth without realizing it, they are referring to a biblical foundational truth.
Just like that great orchestra needs a conductor, everything that functions in the world we touch and see has a conductor that keeps it on time, in balance, and tune. That conductor is Jesus Christ.
The scriptures tell us that Jesus holds everything together by the word of his power.
One of the most potent things that hindered the children of Israel as they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years was that they grumbled and complained about everything.
Our heavenly father, the conductor of this great orchestra that he created, called creation and life, continues to direct every function around us.
Our most significant discovery in life is to agree with the conductor in our words and deeds. When we do that, everything balances out, and blessings come our way.
The foundation of that agreement is a thankful heart—a heart full of gratitude and Thanksgiving. At the same time, we are rejoicing in the goodness of our heavenly father. When we do that, we balance and cooperate with what he has said about us and what he is doing for us.
Paul the apostle captured that in Romans 10:9 and 10 when he said, if you believe in your heart, and confess with your mouth, you shall be saved.
Take note that the heart is the voice of God speaking, and when you agree with that voice and say it with your mouth, you are in tune with your heavenly father, and salvation is yours.
Psalms 100:4 gives us two secret keys to enter the courts of God.
We enter the first door through praise and the second door through Thanksgiving.
I encourage you this Thanksgiving day to remember that good things always come your way when you praise and worship with a thankful heart.
Happy Thanksgiving.

WHAT DOES GOD DO WITH YOUR PRAYERS?
There is $1 million waiting for you in the bank downtown with your name on it.
To receive it, you must get off the couch, call a cab, and claim your fortune.
If you received that notice from the bank, would you see if it was real?
If, for no other reason, most of us will go for curiosity's sake alone.
Yet we have had an invitation from the Bank of Heaven to invest our prayers for a far greater and more valuable reward than just $1 million.
Jesus cried out loudly as he stood in the city's center and told the people that if they came to him, he would supply them with living water, and they would never thirst again; someone in a hot, dry country that would sound like a $1 million offer.
However, as he made that declaration, many people walked by without even taking notice, too busy to have their lives changed forever.
The whole human race has been invited to call on the name of the Lord and be saved. You and I, the believers, have been commissioned to pray to the Father in heaven that those who haven't come into the kingdom yet will come.
If we get a revelation of what prayer is and how God uses prayer, I'm sure we would be quicker and more eager to do our part in filling the golden bowls before the Throne of God.
The wonder and power of our prayer is that it is placed by the Father into a golden bowl as a sweet, smelling incense before the throne.
According to Revelation 8, Jesus, the high priest, then takes our prayers and mixes them with his prayers of intercession. Then the smoke of incense, with the prayers of the holy ones bellow up before God, from the hand of this angel. (which is Christ the High Priest)
The scriptures tell us that our prayers are put into a vile and poured out before God. Revelation also refers to the golden bowl filled to the brim with our prayers. Those prayers are then placed on the altar, and the smoke and incense fill the throne room.
The part that we have been commissioned to do is offer prayer and give our worship to the Father. He puts that prayer and worship into a container to be used at his discretion and for his desires. Your worship and prayer's sweet, smelling fragrance is to God's divine satisfaction.

WHY DOES THE TRUTH SET US FREE?
In John 8:32, the Passion Bible says, "For if you embrace the truth, it will release true freedom into your lives." Over the past decades, philosophers and freethinkers have wondered about truth. Gathering in groups, they debate with the logic of their empty understanding, trying to find their concept of it.
After the intellectuals exhaust themselves, they conclude that you have your truth, and I have mine. Let's leave it at that. Hence the confusion we live in today. And the darkness that has overcome this generation adds to the next one to come.
You and I, as believers, understand when we speak of truth, we're not speaking of philosophy or the current theories of this age. We are talking of a person, Jesus Christ.
The only reason this nation that we call home has proven to be the greatest that history has ever recorded is that it Is connected to The prayer that was spoken over this land when the first pilgrims put their feet on the sands at Plymouth Rock, declaring that this nation would spread the gospel around the world. We accomplished the impossible, leaving England as a small group of believing Christians to establish the "city on a hill."
Our forefathers founded this republic on the principles of the Holy Scriptures and Jesus Christ, the Truth.
As an example of our nation founded upon the truth from the Word of God, we have been a citadel of freedom and truth for the whole world to not only admire but also come to and find peace.
When you encounter Jesus Christ and believe in and obey his commandments, you will know the truth and be free to live a life of peace.

YOUR UNBREAKABLE MARRIAGE TO CHRIST
Tell me what church or theological stream you were raised in, and I'll tell you the level of anxiety you have about your salvation. That's a strange way to start a discussion of the most beautiful thing that could ever happen to us. To be born again by the blood of Jesus. God's dream from the beginning was always that he would bring us back into his family through Jesus Christ.
This experience we have is called by many different names. One group of people would ask you if you've ever been saved. The next group would want to define it a little closer and ask if you've been born again. Some of our Baptist brothers call it "walking the aisle" or "shaking the hand of the preacher."
Years ago, a missionary in the South Seas wrote about the natives, "running the trails with Jesus."
So you see, there are different names and ideas about what we call conversion or being brought into the family of God.
According to the apostle Paul, in Ephesians 5, Christ and the church (that's you) have been married. In that chapter, he uses the natural marriage between a man and a woman as an example of Christ and the church.
In our theological classes, we use the term "the security of the believer" to describe our confidence in the longevity of our salvation. Many of the Baptist brothers referred to it as "eternal security." Once you're saved, you're always saved.
Interestingly enough, the Pentecostal background denies that, and as a byproduct, we have a vast amount of backsliders waiting to come home.
Referring to our salvation as a marriage to Christ is biblically sound. According to Paul's teachings, we have been made one with him in the same way a man and a woman become one in their marriage.
Mark 10:9 makes this statement about marriage: what God has joined together, let no man separate. We are reassured in the Scriptures that we are in the hands of God, and no one can take us away from that.
So, as you sleep tonight, be assured that you will not lose your salvation before you wake up. And when you do wake up to the understanding that you are secure in your marriage to Christ, your journey will be filled with a different level of joy and contentment.
