From Addiction to PTSD. There is coming gifts to The Body that will arise with an anointing to RESTORE and heal the deepest part of the soul.
To restore, to its original design, the systems and chemicals that have been put into a state of dis-order and malfunction. An anointing that will actually heal the physical soul, not just dull it with drugs.
God is able and willing!! We will see the greatest miracles we have ever seen. We will see lives,families and generations changed! The healing of a cripple in a wheelchair is indeed a wonderful thing.
However, the physical RESTORATION of The Entire Soul!! Oh that will cause lives to be changed, families to be healed and generational curses to be destroyed in the life of a believer and be a sign of The Love and Truth of God in Christ, to the unbeliever!
We have not fully seen the manifestation of what Psalm 23 means when The Lord says He will RESTORE OUR SOUL!!!
We have not fully understood the significance of that word RESTORE!
RESTORE! Like the abuse never happen!!
RESTORE! Like the addiction never took deep root!!
RESTORE! Like the enemy never gained that horrific stronghold!!
RESTORE! To its' original design!!!
We have told people that once they are addicted they will always be. LIE!
We have told people that they never really graduate from recovery. LIE!!
We have told people that recovery must be a long process, and the scars will always remain.
LIE!LIE!LIE!LIE!
He Shall Restore! He shall show Himself stronger,mightier and more able than any devil that has bound His Children and His People!
Psalm 23:3
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

The Work of God! Revival of Gods Work!
So many people,including myself, miss their greatest chance at ministry, because they do not understand that they are to be the extended hands of Jesus on the earth, not a popular person. Begin your ministry by simply being moved by the compassion in your heart for those He draws you to. HE is wanting to reach through you to set them free. It isn't about you, it is about doing His Work.
Charles Finney knew something of this. He life passion was getting people saved, then putting them to "The Work", as he called it. Beyond salvation you could see the passion in His heart to be sure once the church was established or re-established, that they continued in "The Work" of The Gospel.
In one account of a revival, and even that word "revival", he called a Revival of the Work of God. The community came out with hard hearts at first. During the meeting they were overcome with repentance and were crying out to God. Finney could not get them to listen to The Gospel because they were in a state of complete brokenness and heart ache because of how they treated The Lord.
After this went on for a long while, Finney, began to whisper in the ear of each one, preaching the Gospel to them, each received and were filled with the joy of salvation.
Even over 150 years ago Finney knew that there was a difference between "revival" that brought out odd fleshy manifestations, that caused people to mock "religion", and true revival. He mentions over and over how some Upstate and Northern New York communities were skeptical, because past, so called revivals, made people look crazy or act odd. Finney was well aware of this, and would have none of it.
The Spirit of God rested on his meetings in such a way as to bring repentance to even the most hardened heart. The result of God showing up to do The Work, was saved souls, healed bodies and minds that were delivered from pain and oppression. As well as The Church being returned to discipleship and The Work of God.
Finney, a man whom The Lord used to really demonstrate what the true meaning and results of revival would look like, would instantly recognize that most of what the church today calls The Work of God, or revival, has been tainted by the flesh and the enemy, making mockery of Gods Work.
Also it would not settle well with his heart that the church has divided so much that The Work of God is locked out of many "settlements" and "communities". Modern denominations are much like they were in his time. The like believers would settle in a community together. He talks of The Settlement of The Baptist, of The Universalist. They settled down together in their own communities separate from other denominations.
His ministry, or The Work of God through him, brought The Gospel of Jesus in Power and demonstration into every community and settlement(denomination). No matter what the name of the denomination, the result of The Revival of The Work of God in each community was the same. Men and Woman coming to repentance, dropping dead religion, turning from sin, and for the first time knowing the True Joy of being Born Again and Saved.
The end result being?
An established or re-established Church, filled with The Spirit and Power, continuing discipleship and The Work of God. Preaching The Gospel of Jesus Christ!!!!

Am I Ready? Are We Ready?
I have read many books over the past year about the lives and sermons of Great Evangelist and Teachers. This one, that I just started reading is different. It is The Autobiography of Charles Finney.
It is hard to explain. It is like I am reading about how The Holy Spirit works and operates. How He performed miracles, led sinners to salvation, and melted the most hardened heart: Not the man the book is about.
There is something profound about this book. It isn't written in a way I usually enjoy, the wording is language from the 1700's, but God is in every word.
I believe the anointing associated with what I am reading is already starting to operate. I am a bit nervous to be honest.The anointing started to flow in a small post office today that was packed.
The warm oil was upon my face and bubbling in my spirit man, would I have been ready if,like with Charles Finney, The Holy Spirit brought that whole room to The Throne and they began to repent and ask what they must do??
We pray for times like that, we have believed for it again for years...
I want to be obedient and not run. When the rubber hits the Road will I be able to handle it???
YOUR Father Loves YOU!
The loving, caring eyes of Your Father are upon you with great intention and interest. His attentive ears are listening with great concern to your voice, which He loves to hear, and never grows tired of.
He not only sees and hears you, He has the will and ability to care for you, heal you,comfort you, protect you and provide for you.
There is no enemy that can overtake Him. There is no intruder that can snatch you from His Hand. Your Daddy truly is The Strongest Daddy on the playground!
YOUR FATHER is The Lord of All Creation if YOU HAVE accepted His Son as Lord!
