The Coming of Elijah and the Restoration of All Things

Jesus taught that before the great and terrible Day of the Lord comes, there would be a work of restoration. He spoke about the coming of Elijah, the one who would come to prepare the way and restore all things. Hallelujah!

Just as God sent Elijah to prepare the way of the Lord and to prepare the nation of Israel to recognize and receive the Son of God, once again we see the manifestation of this ministry.

At that first moment, the mission was directed toward the nation of Israel, the Jews. Elijah came to prepare the people for the manifestation of the Messiah. But in this final manifestation, the mission is broader. It is not limited only to the Jews, but reaches all the peoples of the earth, especially the Church that is spread among the nations.

However, this time the mission is even broader. It is not only about preparing the way and presenting Jesus Christ to the people. It is also about confronting the works of darkness, bringing down the power of Satan, and confronting his kingdom.

It is a ministry of restoration, preparation, and spiritual confrontation. God is calling His people back to His Word, to repentance, holiness, and true worship, preparing them for the manifestation of the Lord.

Hallelujah! The God who sent Elijah in the past is the same God who continues to work to restore all things and prepare His people for the great Day of the Lord.

How to Persevere in Prayer

How do you persevere in prayer? You have to make an effort, because it is not easy. It is easy to start; the difficult part is finishing, because of the opposition that arises along the way.

The enemy will always oppose men and women of prayer. This opposition can happen in many ways: through pain in the body, through situations around us, and even through people close to us. People will be attacked, you will be saddened, troubled, distressed, humiliated, and persecuted.

So, do not forget: many of these struggles are part of the journey of a life of prayer. And this should serve as encouragement to warriors. You must keep going!

But how do you persevere?

Do what Paul taught: “Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.” Many people want to pray while living according to the flesh, and because of this, the journey seems impossible. But when we are in the Spirit, when we walk and live in the Spirit, we receive life and have life to give.

We must make an effort and not be ignorant of Satan’s schemes. Yet, hallelujah, we must remain patient in tribulations. This is how we will continue.

If you do not renounce your own life and your own will, and if you do not enter this war determined to fight the good fight, you will give up. The burden will become too great, because sin brings bondage and weakness.

Therefore, it is necessary to renounce sin.

The Word says: “Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.” And so you will continue fighting, abstaining from everything that weakens your walk and making every effort to remain steadfast.

Understand this: the struggles, adversities, and opposition you encounter are part of the journey of those who are true warriors.

But you have the armor of God in your hands!

So I challenge you: move forward against them! Glory to God! Go into battle as David went against Goliath.

Do not allow yourself to be intimidated by the Goliaths of life, nor by the Sauls who may cross your path.

You need to have the same attitude as Caleb when he returned from spying out the land together with Joshua and the other men. Caleb said, in other words: “They will be our bread. Let us only be strong, and the Lord will deliver them into our hands.”

Hallelujah!

This is the secret to perseverance.

If I do not tell you the truth, you may become frustrated. The battles will come because of your prayer life. The counterattacks will come, and they may be very intense, because the devil does not want anyone to persevere in prayer.

That is why you find many people who started but did not finish.

Jesus taught that when someone goes into battle, they must first count the cost, to determine whether they have what it takes to see it through to the end.

In the same way, when someone is going to build a house, they must calculate the cost to determine whether they will be able to finish it. Otherwise, they will begin building and will not be able to finish. And everyone who passes by will begin to mock them, saying:

“This man began to build, but he was not able to finish.”

The world is full of people who began building their houses but did not finish. Many ended up becoming a source of shame and disgrace.

No!

You must be a courageous man! You must be a giant in faith, able to face the giants of this world and overcome the Sauls who arise along the way.

Do not be afraid. Do not give up. Do not abandon prayer.

Keep fighting. Keep praying. Keep persevering.

Because the one who perseveres to the end will see the hand of God.

Psalms 100:5
For the LORD is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.

Hallelujah!

Psalm 32:1-2 KJV
"Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. [2] Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile."

Hallelujah!!

That is the believer's state of right standing with God.

By the grace of God, because of our faith in Jesus and his "finished" work at the cross, we are not only blessed with already having all of our sin debt washed away in the blood of Christ (our transgressions forgiven and sins covered), but also we enjoy a continued blessing going forward of God not counting our iniquities against us. We are forgiven, and we continue to be held in a state of sinlessness.

Such blessings are not due to our performance. They are due to God's mercy and grace.

2 Corinthians 5:18-19 KJV
"And all things are of God, who 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; [19] To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation."

Romans 5:6 NASB
"For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly."

That's me. I'm the ungodly. I am helpless to save myself.

Romans 5:9 NASB
"Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him."

Despite my wickedness and sinful nature, I am "saved from the wrath of God" through Jesus and fully "justified by His blood."

Hallelujah
