RESTORE!
I have ONE word from God for you…RESTORE!
After almost 2 full years of pandemics and shutdowns and bad news from so many directions, it’s time for us to GET OUR STUFF BACK! The devil has robbed you and God’s people long enough. Isaiah 42:22 says: These people are robbed continually, and no one says: RESTORE!
If we’re going to get our time back, our health back, our finances back, we must use the sword of the spirit—which is the word of God. And the way we use the sword is by opening our mouth and declaring: RESTORE!
So many people are stressed out today, more anxious, and more worried than ever before.
The enemy has eaten, devoured, consumed, and destroyed so much. Jesus said in John 10:10, "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
Your Heavenly Father is the God of Restoration.
This is His promise—You are going to get it all back!
Let me point out four specific promises you can stand on to see YOUR SEASON OF RESTORATION.
First, the promise of Joel 2:25, where God says, "So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten."
We’ve all lost time. Perhaps you’ve lost years to illness or disease or addiction. And what of the years we lost before we were believers, when we didn’t know Jesus, and we weren’t serving God? All of this time--the years—our God will restore.
Secondly, in Jeremiah 30:17, God promises: "’For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal,’ declares the Lord."
Our physical health, people dealing with chronic illnesses; our mental health, people struggling with depression or anxiety; our wounds, those inflicted upon us by others and those self-inflicted—our God will heal and restore.
Next, Jeremiah 30:18 reads, "Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob.’"
Many have lost jobs, money, and their retirement funds through the pandemic and over the past few years. This promise of our God says the thiefwon’t have the last word. Our God will restore what you’ve lost and supply your every need.
Lastly, Psalm 23 declares: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul."
Our Great Shepherd holds not only our temporal needs but also our eternal needs in the palm of His loving hand. How is it that we can close our eyes at night and rest? How is it that we can rise in the morning to face each new day?
Our Heavenly Father is the God of Restoration!
And He just needs us to SPEAK FORTH these promises. The universe and our angels are waiting for us to DECLARE.
In fact, below are more RESTORATION declarations…
TEN PROMISES FOR RESTORATION
God has given us many promises of restoration in the Word of God. Below are a few that I encourage you to stand on, and not give up on, until you see them fulfilled. God is watching over His Word to perform it. (Jeremiah 1:12) So believe it and expect it; AND as Isaiah 42:22 says: Declare: “RESTORE” today!
Isaiah 42:22 says, “My people are robbed and plundered; they are snared in holes and hid in prison houses. None are delivered; none says: ‘RESTORE." We will see our lives restored when we declare it with the Word of God and follow His principles.
All in the Name of Jesus, The Christ, our Lord and Savior:
I Declare God Will Restore My Time! “I will restore the years that the locusts have eaten…” (Joel 2:25). Declare today: “I believe God is restoring lost time, lost years and lost opportunities to my life. I expect greater things in the days, months, and years to come!”
I Declare God Will Restore My Health! “For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after” (Jeremiah 30:17). Declare today, “I receive the restoration of my health, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. I fully recover from every pain, injury, and wound. I am healed by Jesus’ stripes and walk in divine health.”
I Declare God Will Restore My Finances! “And the Lord turned the captivity of Job and restored his fortunes, when he prayed for his friends; also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before” (Job 42:10). Declare today, “I receive the restoration of lost finances and fortunes, just as Job received. I am the seed of Abraham (Galatians 3:29) and I have the right to receive all the fortunes of this covenant, in Jesus’ Name.”
I Declare God Will Restore My Joy! “Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit” (Psalm 51:12). Declare today, “I receive the fullness of joy and expect as much joy or more than when I first got saved. This joy will strengthen me supernaturally and carry me through every trial in Jesus’ Name!”
I Declare God Will Restore My Fellowship! “Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart . . . until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored” (Joel 2:12). Declare today, “I am not separated from God. Nothing can separate me from His love. I continue to come to Him no matter what is going on in my life, and the blood of Jesus cleanses me from all unrighteousness. I am in fellowship with God as my Father, in Jesus’ Name.”
I Declare God Will Restore My Relationships! “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on my son, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’” (Luke 14:22–24). Declare today, “I am restored in any and all broken relationships with friends and loved ones. God heals all wounds and I refuse to be offended, insulted, or in pride toward others. I expect broken relationships to be restored, in Jesus’ Name.”
I Declare God Will Restore My Favor! “Restore us again, O God of hosts; and cause Your face to shine [upon us with favor as of old], and we shall be saved” (Psalm 80:7). Declare today, “I receive restoration of favor upon my life, even as David, Abraham and other great man walked in. I expect open doors that no man can close. God’s face and favor are shining on me today, more than ever, in Jesus’ Name.”
I Declare God Will Restore My Mind! “He restores my soul, and leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake” (Psalm 23:3). Declare today, “I have the mind of Christ. As I meditate on the Word of God, my soul is restored. As my soul is restored, I expect full recovery and health in every area of my life, in Jesus’ Name.”
I Declare God Will Restore My Prosperity! “Return to the stronghold [of security and prosperity], you prisoners of hope; even today do I declare that I will restore double your former prosperity to you” (Zechariah 9:12). Prosperity includes much more than just money. Declare today, “I expect the restoration of all prosperity that God has intended for me. I receive an abundant life of peace, joy, and victory in all areas of my life; and at least double return of anything that has been lost, in Jesus’ Name.”
I Declare God Will Restore My Victory! “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted” (Galatians 6:1). Declare today, “I expect restoration to a victorious life through the abundant grace of God. I am restored from sin and from temptation through God’s help. I am more than a conqueror through His amazing love (Romans 8:37), in Jesus’ Name.”
Yes, and Amen, all in the Name of Jesus, The Christ, our Lord and Savior!
