Restore
Precious one I have given you tools over the last eight days to lay hands on yourself and set yourself free from the strongholds or chains of bondage in your life. If you have acted on the 8 R’s to Freedom you are free, and I rejoice with you. God is redeeming you from your past and bringing about His plans and purposes. The 8 R’s to Freedom:
1. Recognize
2. Take Responsibility
3. Repent for participating with sin.
4. Renounce
5. Remove
6. Resist
7. Rejoice before the Lord
8. Restore others
Now you are free to stand guard against the enemy. And “Don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil. If you are a thief, quit stealing. Instead, use your hands for good hard work, and then give generously to others in need. Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, and forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. (Ephesians 4:26-32)
Please print these and teach them to others for them to be delivered and set free. The Gospel is to be shared with others. My purpose is to establish the Word of God in your house and mine then to the world. Now that God has delivered, healed, and restored you – go restore others! People perish for lack of knowledge. (Hosea 4:6)
In Psalms 51 After David repented there is no indication that he went back to the same sin. David recognized his issue and took responsibility for it, repented for his sins, renounced them, and removed the sins. He dealt with his sin and God met him there. That is why he is called a man after God’s own heart. But God removed Saul and replaced him with David, a man about whom God said, ‘I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do.’ (Acts 13:22)
In Psalms 51:12 David said, restore unto me the joy of my salvation, uphold me with your free spirit. V.13 After God had met David, turned his attention to others and said, then will I teach transgressors thy ways and sinners shall be converted unto You. (Psalms 51:12-13)
Restoring others is bringing the gospel to those you love, instructing those sinners in Zion who are being separated from the refreshing of the Lord, and making disciples of them. Once God has restored you, then it is now your time to take what you have learned and go share it with someone else. Say this with me: ‘What I have received, I must give it away. You are a gift from God to creation forever. Be a gift! Be a part of the solution not part of the pollution of mankind.
There are 8 R’s to Freedom they are tools for you to use to deliver yourself and everyone you know. Print these 8 powerful steps out and teach/share them with others to impact their world. If you have applied the last 9 days’ devotionals to your life, you will begin to discover that broken things become blessed things if you let God mend and restore you.
