Go after a life of love as if your life depended on it—because it does. Give yourselves to the gifts God gives you. Most of all, try to proclaim His truth. If you praise Him in the private language of tongues, God understands you but no one else does, for you are sharing intimacies just between you and Him. But when you proclaim his truth in everyday speech, you're letting others in on the truth so that they can grow and be strong and experience His presence with you. (I Corinthians 14:1-3 MSG)
Restoration: According to the dictionary, "to restore" means to "bring back to a former or original condition." 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 any thing the world has yet seen.
Intimacy: The Lord illustrates the restoration of His intimacy with His people through the analogy of the Bride and the Bridegroom. (Rev. 19-7-9)
God is preparing the Bride with beauty and power and dressing her in His glory. By allowing herself to be cleaned by the washing of His Word she will be presented to the Bridegroom without spot, wrinkle, or blemish. (Ephesians 5:25-27)
God's work of restoration is a work of the Holy Spirit in and through the lives of those who have believed in Jesus being born from above. (John 3:3) His Spirit will be poured out "on all flesh". (Joel 2:28, 29)
Thus His power would be shared with all His people and not limited to one chosen individual. (John 16:7) The Holy Spirit could be sent to indwell each of them, to fill them and to enable the Supernatural works of God to be done through them.

EXPECT:
Supernatural Wisdom - Wisdom how to take care of challenges in your family and witness. Give your life to Worship, to Bible reading. It is easier to live a Holy life. (Acts 6:10; Matt. 10:19)
Supernatural Love - The Holy Spirit will release the perfect LOVE. You will be able to meet the needs of those around you, the kind of Love Jesus demonstrated. (John 13:34, 35)
Supernatural Fruit - Receive all the fruits of the Holy Spirit. (Gala. 5:22; I Cor. 12:8)
Supernatural Strength - Strength to live a consecrate life. (Rev. 12:11)
Supernatural Anointing - The ability to resist and defeat your enemies, Satan, sin and self. Expect a brand new ability.
Receive the power of the Holy Spirit, and begin to respond to His gifts, which are given to expand each believer's capabilities beyond the created order and toward the redemptive dimension of ministry, for edifying the church and evangelizing the world.
As the church becomes a spiritual house inhabited by a holy priesthood, offering up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ, all men will be drawn to Him; the world will at last see the glory of God through the restored church.
Restoration means more than becoming a reproduction of the New Testament church. It means becoming all God originally intended the church to be. Remember, restoration means the establishment of something more and better than the original.
