Turn Us Back To You

Lam 5:1

1          Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.

(KJV)

Lam 5:19-21

19       Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.

20       Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?

21       Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.

(KJV)

2 CHR. 7:14 –  If my people which are called by my name shall

humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Joel 2:12-15

12       Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

13       And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

14       Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?

15       Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:

(KJV)

Jonah 3:1-4

1          And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,

2          Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.

3          So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey.

4          And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.

(KJV)

Luke 15:18-21

18       I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

19       And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

20       And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

21       And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

(KJV)

WHY IS IT SUCH A HARD THING TO GIVE GOD WHAT HE WANTS?

Ps 51:17

17       The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

(KJV)

It’s time to ……turn…..or return……It’s time to repent…..its

time to refresh……to bring back…..

Don’t lose some of the ole apostolic landmarks in your life

Turn or return……don’t let the devil blind you to your sense

of direction…..don’t get lost……turn

Rev 3:14-4:2

14       And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15       I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16       So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17       Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18       I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19       As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20       Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21       To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

22       He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
