God’s restoration does not have any conditions, and when He shows up in your life, every dead situation comes alive. It does not matter how long you suffered pain, shame, disappointment, discouragement, setback, delay, and or rejection. It might have taken longer than Lazarus’ death. “So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.” John 11:17 NKJV. Perhaps you have been fighting the same battle for four weeks, four months, and or four years, but I would like to remind you that “with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” 2 Peter 3:8 NKJV. Therefore, please do not be discouraged, thinking that the Lord Jesus has forgotten you, for He loves you the same way that He loved Lazarus and his sisters. Furthermore, being loved by Jesus does not exempt you from the predicaments of this life! “Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.” John 11:5 NKJV
“1Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. 3 Therefore, the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.” John 11:3 NKJV
The enemy might remind you of your weaknesses, failures, and past, but your mistakes and past do not define you. “Certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons,” Luke 8:2 NKJV. However, when you surrender your life to Jesus and love and serve Him faithfully, you do not need to worry about your past or inadequacies, for the Lord loves you as His own and He will never cast you away. “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.” John 6:37 NKJV. Therefore, come to Jesus for He cares for you and desires to restore your life and everything that the enemy has stolen from you! John 3:16-21.
I pray for every dead situation in your life to come alive. I pray that you find peace in Him, for He is the Prince of Peace – Yeshua Hamashiach! I pray that you find grace to forgive those who hurt you and or laugh at your dead situation, for in forgiveness we are forgiven in Jesus Mighty name. 14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:14-15 NKJV
“Lazarus Raised from the Dead
38 Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42 And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” 43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” 44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.” John 11:38-44 NKJV
#thank You Father for not treating us as our sins deserve! “He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities.” Psalms 103:10 NKJV
#thank you for the restoration, King Jesus! We love You, Holy Spirit, and thank You for leading us to all truth!
#“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 NKJV
