Furthermore, the Bible says, you must pray without ceasing. This is vitally important because Satan controls the environment of the fallen world. Satan tempts and distracts fallen man from all directions twenty four hours a day, while God is only able to work from one direction, the vertical direction of the mind. The Restoration of God's Ideal In the eyes of God, the fallen world is the world of spiritual death. His will is the restoration of that world of death into the world of life.
Restoration is another way of saying salvation.
When the original ideal state has been lost, it must be restored. When a healthy man becomes sick, a physician must come and bring him back to his original health. Therefore, the work of God is to restore this fallen world to the original sinless state. In order to accomplish this task, God sends the Messiah. But before the Messiah comes, God prepares a certain chosen group of people to be ready for the Messiah.
