Conclusion:
Folks, God has some great promises in store for his people, Israel, but did you know that he also has some great promises for you and for me today as well, if we will only seek forgiveness of our sin and restoration of heart and soul in a true state of revival that only comes through a right and proper relationship with God through his dear son, the Lord Jesus Christ?!?
Restoration and Revival are truly only one step away—but are we, as God’s dear children, willing to take that one step!
I hope you will today!
