Restoration
“He
restores my soul; He leads me in The Paths of Righteousness for His
Name's Sake.”

Romans 10:13(KJV)

you also are from Him in Yeshua The Messiah, He who has become for us

JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU,
THE LORD RIGHTEOUSNESS
All, if not most, in the scientific
community, will tell you they do not know everything there is to know
about our universe and its beginnings, or its size. What I can tell
you is that some say science proves God's existence. While others are
attempting to disprove God's existence. Some even look for the
beginning of God, what is referred to as 'the God particle'. This is
impossible to declare for God is God. John 1:1-3, 14 “In the
beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God, and The Word was
God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by
Him; without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was
life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in
darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. … And The Word was
made flesh, and lived among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory
of the only begotten of The Father,) full of grace and truth.”
See, in order to discover the
beginning of anything, you have to acknowledge not only that God
exists, but that He is Creator. Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God
created the heaven and the earth.” The following verses tell you
what God created, who named what He created and how what He created
fell into disarray. For the world as we know it is not the world that
God had in mind, when He created it.
Rules were put into place by God to
follow and obey, that our lives would be pain-free, death-free,
sickness-free, chaos-free, crime-free, destruction-free. But all of
those possibilities ended when sin, disobedience to God's rules,
entered this world through Eve's and Adam's deliberate disobedience
when they ate the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. The
woman's punishment, curse, was to bear and raise children with
sorrow. No longer was she her own woman, now she belonged to her
husband; he would be responsible for her. The man's punishment,
curse, was to work hard all the days of his life; the ground would be
cursed because of his actions. He would eat what he could grow; he
would die and be buried in the earth, because that is what he is made
of. Animals died because of their sin, and the skins of these animals
were placed on them to cover their nakedness.
There is no 'fountain of life' or
'spring or eternal youth'; there is only sickness, aging, death. In
this life, there is no hope of ever getting away from any thing. But
if you go back a few verses in chapter 3, you will see that God
promised a way out of all that had occurred through their actions.
Genesis 3:14, 15 “And The Lord God said unto the serpent (which had
tempted Eve), Because you have done this, you are cursed above all
cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon your belly you shall
go, and dust shall you eat all the days of your life: And I will put
enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed;
it (her seed) shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”
One day we would have power over temptation and sin. Though the
serpent, the devil, would tempt us, we would overcome him and rule
over sin.
I am here to tell you, that day has
come. It came in Matthew through Revelation. That day of overcoming
sin and death, was given us when Jesus Christ, the only begotten of
The Father, the only begotten Son, came into this world (John 1:14);
lived a sin-free life (John 1:29-34); caused miracles to happen
wherein the sick were healed, the dead restored to life, the blind
could see, the lame could walk, the deaf could hear and the mute
could speak (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John); was beaten beyond
recognition and died on a cross (Isaiah 42, 43:6-12; 53, Matthew 27,
Mark 15, Luke 23, John 19); rose from the grave and ascended into
heaven after several people had seen Him (Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke
24, John 20 and 21, Acts 2:21:36).
“This is the day that The Lord has
made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24. “For He
says, I have heard you in a time accepted, and in the day of
salvation have I helped you: behold, now is the accepted time;
behold, now is the day of salvation.” 2 Corinthians 6:2. “Thus
says The Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard you, and in a day
of salvation have I helped you: and I will preserve you, and give you
for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to
inherit the desolate heritages; That you may say to the prisoners, Go
forth; to them that are in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed
in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places. They
shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite
them: for He that has mercy on them shall lead them, even by the
springs of water shall He guide them. And I will make all My
mountains a way, and My high ways shall be exalted. Behold (Look here
now!), these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and
from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.” Isaiah 49:7-12.
The acceptable time. The day of
salvation. This day is preferred above all other days to those who
believe that Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, The Father,
died on the cross and rose from the grave, making a way through His
blood shed on the cross, for us to be in God's presence; holding the
keys of hell and death, He walked out of the grave, when His Father
rolled the stone away. Perhaps God shoved the stone forcefully. I
would have, had my son been in that tomb and needed to be released.
What parent wouldn't aid their child, when that child needed them so?
My day of salvation came when I was
34. Though I was raised in church, and loved Sunday School, I did not
fully believe until I was in a place where I had to seek God. That
day is forever etched in God's Book of The Lamb, for that is my
spiritual birthday. Surrounded by vague memories of events of the
day, I do not remember the exact date, but I do remember how old I
was. Now, twenty years later, here I am telling you that today could
be your spiritual birthday. If you have not already believed on The
Name of The Lord Jesus Christ for the salvation of your soul, this is
the day. This is the time.
The Lord Is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures:
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul:
He leads me in the Paths of Righteousness for His Name's sake.
Psalm 23:1-3
Psalm 55:22 reads "Cast your burden upon The Lord, and He shall sustain you: He shall never suffer you to be moved." When we apply The Word of God to ourselves, this verse would say,
I have cast my burden upon The Lord, He sustains me:
He will never suffer (allow) me to be moved.
I repented of my sinful ways and turned my back on them. With my back turned to sin, my face is now facing God's direction. My burden, my load of baggage which I carried around within my heart and my mind, I laid at the foot of the cross, and left it there, where God forgave me of these sins and threw them into The Sea of Forgetfulness, never again remembering these sins that had been against me. The only one who will remind you of your past is Satan, and he will use it against you to bring you down. But your face, my face, needs to be focused on God's face. Never should we take our eyes off of God's Word, God's Voice needs to be in our ears, our hearts, our thoughts. Constantly and consistently, we need to be watchful in prayer, alert in His Word and alive in His Love; daily loving each person, whether we are loved in return or not, with our actions, our words, our heart; our heart should mirror God's heart. For God loves everyone and His heart is to see each one accept the salvation He has given through His Son Jesus Christ.
This is the Paths of Righteousness: The Way, The Truth and The Life: Jesus Christ The Messiah of Israel and all the world beyond her borders. He Is The Word of God In The Flesh. Our Holy Bible is The Word of God In Print. Your Bible is not just a book of stories, it is Holy and Alive. Just reading your Bible is not enough. As a sip of water will not quench your thirst, neither will just reading The Bible save your soul.
As a bite of bread will not satisfy your hunger, neither will just studying The Bible save your soul.
You must believe that Jesus Christ Is Lord. That His Name Is Salvation. Romans 10:13 "Whosoever shall call upon The Name of The Lord shall be saved." What is The Lord's Name? Matthew 1:21 "And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call His Name JE'SUS: for He shall save His people from their sins." His Name Is EMMAN'UEL. Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore The Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His Name Imman'uel."
(different spellings, different areas of time)
A name which means "God Is With Us".
