Restoration Fellowship

I was blessed to be able to participate in a wonderful meeting at Restoration Fellowship in Murfreesboro, TN. Thank you Pastor Thornton for the invitation to minister the Word of God and the opportunity to pray with those who responded to the call from the Spirit. The presence of the Lord was evident in each of the services and we could sense the Lord reminding us of His presence. I felt led to remind each of you today that God is present with you regardless of the circumstances that you are facing. We can place our confidence in the promises of God that are revealed in the Word of God. We must take the time to become acquainted and in some cases reacquainted with the Word of God. The Word of God is the basis of our hope in the midst of these challenging times in which we are living. I have been intrigued about the name of the church in Murfreesboro. The true purpose and mission of Christ was to restore the broken fellowship between God and man. Sin had created a great divide between God and man and the cross became the bridge that closed that gap. According to the Word of God the Spirit is still at work in this world restoring fellowship between God and man. I am able to witness that work in the lives of people all across the Midwest and Southeast. I asked myself this question this morning; "Am I actively involved with God in the process of restoration?" Is my heart so connected with the heart of God that I refuse to miss His spiritual activity in the lives of fallen humanity? Each one of us were separated from true fellowship with God prior to our conversion or new birth; but Christ has provided the means to close that gap and bring us into sweet communion and relationship with our Heavenly Father. We must commit our hearts to the process of preparing the way for restoration. We must demonstrate the genuine love of God so that people can identify the "Hope" that lives in us and that needs to flow from us to the hurting, bruised, shattered and disillusioned of our communities. I am convinced that God is placing a renewed desire to see people brought into a right relationship with God. I want to become actively involved in the process of restoration. Are you ready to make yourself available to the Spirit so that He can use you to reach someone with the message of the life changing Gospel?
