RESTORATION

The days of the Gentiles are almost over. God has given us plenty of
warning
that the Spirit will not forever strive with the rebellious. But before
this
generation comes under the retribution of almighty God, a great
restoration is
prophesied.

"And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the
cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I
sent
among you" (Joel 2:25).

The psalmist David said the righteous shall "be like a tree planted by
the
rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit...with leaves that do not
wither...and whatever he does shall prosper" see: (Psalm 1:3). But that
promise
is only to those who have totally separated themselves from the wicked,
and who
refuse to walk in the way of sinners. It is only for those who are
devoted
students of God's Word, meditating in it day and night.

"The ungodly are not so," said David (v. 4). They become weak and
withered,
blown about by every wind and wave of doctrine. The compromisers are
likened to
withered trees, diseased and corrupted with every conceivable kind of
worm.

This is a picture of many professing Christians in God's house today.
They
neglect their Bible reading; they become too preoccupied to pray and
build
themselves up in the faith; they become cozy with the ungodly and take
their
seat among the scornful.

An army of cankerworms has been eating away at the lives of multitudes of
backslidden Christians. Outwardly they appear as trees planted by the
water-but inwardly they are corrupted, weak, diseased. They no longer bear
fruit! They are drying up spiritually. The cankerworm did its destructive
work
with the bark of the tree. So it is with sin-it is eating away deep
within
those who have strayed from the presence of the Lord.

God has told us how he is going to bring about this great restoration.
First,
he will pour out his Holy Spirit in such abundant ways, it will bring
health
and strength back to all the trees in his forest. The worm of sin will
begin to
lose its power as God's people get back to Bible reading. A powerful
revelation
of the Lord's new covenant will make God's people as bold as lions.
Yes-believe it-a revival of spiritual strength and divine health is going
to be poured out from on high.
