According to the dictionary, “to restore” means to “bring
back to a former or original condition.” When something is restored in the Scriptures,
however, it is always increased, multiplied or improved so that its later state
is significantly better than its original state (see Joel 2:21-26). (James
Robison)
God multiplies when He restores. And so, in His restoration
work today, God is not simply restoring the church to the glory it displayed in
New Testament times. He is seeking to restore it to a state more powerful,
majestic and glorious than anything the world has yet seen. (James Robison)
Most ministers and their church members, at present, do not
have spiritual revelation concerning the needed restoration of the church. Most
are doing one of two things; they are carrying on the religious doctrines and
traditions of their particular group or they are giving into the spirit of the world.
However, the Spirit of the Lord Jesus is looking to and fro throughout the
earth for anyone, minister or church member, who will receive the revelation of
the need for restoration of the church and give themselves to bringing it
about.
