He wants you back

It’s time to go back! Where were you going? What did you originally set out to do? What was in your heart that God put in it to do? Where was the promise? But instead where did you go to? Retrace! Come back!!!

It’s time to go back to the original plan that God set up for you from the very beginning of time!!! Go back! - derived from Jeremiah 31

The plan is the promise and the promise was Canaan, not the wilderness! The Lord wills to bring you back and restore you to the state that He intended from the very beginning. He doesn’t want you wandering around in sin, doubt and lack. He wants you prospering and functioning as HE formed and planned. He loves you, He desperately wants you back and He’s making a way even now! Will you go back??? 

The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
Jeremiah 31:3

He told us way long ago as He told Israel: I LOVE YOU! Don’t you see, I love you forever and I’m drawing you in with loving kindness, not because I want to harm you. I love you. I have good plans for you. But you must come back!!!! I want to build you again so that you’ll be built and not moved - Planted and fruitful ; undisturbed. This will come through your penitence and repentant heart and tears. You will be moved to joy again! I will buy you back! You will again laugh and your life will be like a watered garden instead of a waste land with sorrow and agony!

Your mourning will be turned to joy and your despair to dancing. Rejoicing comes after sorrow for it knows where it’s been. I created you for the fully satisfied life and the abundant life that the enemy come to steal from you. I’ve conquered that! (Luke 1:70-80) I long to be good to You. To make a brand new covenant with you. You were torn down but I will build you again so that no one will tear you down. I long to show you mercy and I remain God, tried and true. It’s because of my mercy and loving kindness that you are not consumed. I have defeated the enemy that tries to defeat you. I conquered hell and death. I came to bring you light and release you from your burdens, and the very thing that came to chain and bind you down. I will lead you in the path of peace if you will follow Me.

Come back!!!! I say: COME BACK!!

I will lead you back and cause you to walk by streams of water and bring you in a straight way in which you will not stumble for I am a Father to Israel, a Father to you. Isn’t that what a good Father does? Leads, protects and provides?!! I will keep you as a Shepherd keeps his flock, diligently watching over, protecting and guiding you. I love you and I will guide you and advise you with My loving eye upon you. (Psalm 32:8) This is the way you ought to go, I’ll tell you with a voice behind you. But you must listen and follow. I lead you in the paths of righteousness for My Names sake.

Stop crying! Hold it back so you can see what I’m calling you to do. You will be led away from the enemies land and the sin caused you to go there. THERE WILL BE a future and everlasting hope for you and your children in your own land -“the promised land”. I have heard you. I will bring you back and I will restore You for I am Your Lord, Your God. I will rescue you from what tried to destroy you. I am your redeemer and I live!!!! Repent and be restored! Back to health! Back to life! The abundant life that I came to give. John 10:10

I remember you. I love you. You are unforgettable. You matter! I will surely have mercy, pity and loving kindness for you! “So (insert name here), SET UP FOR YOURSELF highway markers back to Canaan, MAKE FOR YOURSELF guideposts, TURN YOUR THOUGHTS & ATTENTION to the way by which you went astray into exile. RETRACE your steps and COME BACK!!!!!! “

You must retrace and ask yourself, how did I get here? Not to beat yourself up! NO! That’ll just keep you there, in permanent and constant chaos of mind and so body! Retrace! There’s a difference. Set up markers that say this way is the right way, guidepost that will direct you and your thoughts, turn them back off of what first got you off track.

What fought or sought for your attention? That’s the very thing that hindered you and that’s the very thing that you must recognize and turn from in order to get a new mindset. See it all starts in the mind. It’s the thing that distracted you first up there and it’s the very thing that will get you back. As the man thinks in his heart so he is. So get your mind back. Redirect your thoughts. Take power back over them that you gave to someone or something else. God wants your heart and your mind. Turn your eyes(your mind) back on Him in order to change your direction. Think back! Look back to see where you went wrong (left),  to see where you shoulda’ gone right and do that! That’s the thing I want you to do and the direction I want you to go. SAY YES!  HOW LONG....... my dear will you waver and hesitate? How long? I love you! Don’t you see, I’m calling you back, trying to help and save you.

I am The way of escape! I am the way. The truth. And the Life. No other way to the promise but by Me. I want you do and go the way I intended all along!!!

I will SATISFY your weary soul and REPLENISH EVERY languishing and sorrowful person. Have you ever been truly sorrowful (full of sorrow). I desire to replenish that empty soul. That dry soul that’s longing and begging just to be filled again , whole AGAIN..... as it once WAS. I don’t will to Leave you this way. Don’t you see! Look! See. BEHOLD the days are coming when I will build you back and to plant with good ! That which tried to break you down was to build you back the right way. To show you what is right and good. You strayed but I will bring you back. A NEW covenant I long to establish with you. Your ansectors couldn’t get it right and neither could you. I came to fill in the gap but again, you must follow Me. I Am your husband now. I Am your Father, your God. I AM whatever you need. I AM means present, And it means that I will replace any and every need. I simply AM! 

I have forgiven you. You matter even though you thought I forgot. I will remember your sins NO MORE. I did this all for you, don’t you see! The sun for light, the moon and the starts by night. I don’t come to leave you in darkness. I come to bring you out and into the light! You shall be built again. I long to make a covenant with you out of love and kindness so that you might live life fearlessly, in righteousness and a holy life, for I am. All that I have is yours and NOTHING is too hard for me!!! I love you, you are mine! You belong to Me. I bought you with a price. You strayed but I want you back!!!!

We are doubly His: in a twofold manner.

Formed and created by Him.

Once strayed.

He came and died to buy me back out of my sin. 

Now I am Doubly His. Loved! Adored! Died for! So that I might live. I’m coming back to the promise of LIFE & LIFE EVERLASTING so that I might live here and now, fearlessly and fiercely without any other agenda but His. With love and light and covered now in His robe of righteousness and no longer recognized by the sin and shame I once wore so begrudgingly. So I can now live a holy life and a good life because of what He came to do !!!!! He poured out His life for me so that I might live and as unto Him. I’m doing what I was created to do and unto Whom. All about my Fathers biz!

He bought me back before I even knew. Now I trade the life of sin that I once knew. I trade all the junk and give it back to be covered in His robe of righteousness and filled with His Spirit instead of hate, hurt, sin, and lack I once knew. He wants me back! He died fully for me, I fully live for Him. He rose to make it possible so I am more than just a possibility, I AM HIS. I am more than a conqueror!

Song of the day: “My Redeemer lives” - by Nicole C. Mullen

Sin brought me down so that I might fully see the greater measure inside of me. You never know really good until you’ve known really bad. You can’t forgive much being forgiven little and the deeper the sin, the deeper the grace. Just as the darker the dark, the brighter the light is activated. The lighter, the dimmer, and you can barely see. But He came to shine His glorious light upon me.
