RESTORATION GOD’S PLAN FOR YOU

The disciples wanted to know about restoration. They were eager to hear about God's people Israel being restored to their God-promised status, land and wealth. They desired to know when this would occur. Jesus answered that knowledge of the timing of this wasn't to be theirs but power was. They were to receive power - not ordinary power but power of the kind God has and exerts; power that not only restores but also creates! Here is the answer then to your questions. This is how things are going to be put right in your life - not by your natural power but by God's supernatural power. Now that you are a Christian you are not to continue on as you always have; you are to continue on in the power of God. Only God's power can bring an enduring restoration of good in your life. Only His power can make wrong things right, produce goodness where there has been ailment and deliverance where there has been oppression. It is by His power that God can bring about restoration in your life and give you a tangible manifestation of His redemption. The Holy Spirit is the One Who brings God's power into your life. It is when the Holy Spirit comes on you that you receive His power. Apostle Paul wrote of this to Timothy, his Spirit-filled son in the Lord. Timothy was going through hard times and Paul wrote encouraging him, For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Genesis 20:7
