RESTORATION: 

The biblical meaning of the word "restoration" is to receive back more than has been lost to the point where the final state is greater than the original condition. The main point is that someone or something is improved beyond measure.

Whatever the enemy has tried to take away from you, God wants to restore it. God wants to make it better than before. That’s the kind of Father He is. Every day we have choices put before us. We can be tempted to get hurt, wounded, or depressed. We can complain and remain in the same awful condition. Or we can praise God and be raised up.

One of the first things the enemy will try to steal from us is our joy. He wants to get us sad, sorrowful, and oppressed. Remember what it was like when you first were saved? There was joy unspeakable. God doesn’t want us to lose that joy! Nehemiah 8:10 tells us, “The JOY of the Lord is your strength.” It is important for Christians to have joy in their life! If you don’t have joy, you don’t have any strength. 

Don’t stay in that valley of despair and depression. Don’t allow what people say to control you. You control your own destiny. Maybe everyone isn’t going to be thrilled about you. But God is. You are who God created you to be. And God likes you just fine. He’s thrilled about you!

Where does joy come from? We tap into joy by hanging out with God! When we are in His Presence, we come out with a new spring in our step, a new song in our heart. When we’re hanging out with Him, we take on His characteristics.

And God is happy! Psalm 2:4 says, “He that sitteth in the heavens shall LAUGH.” When we’re hanging out with God, we start acting like Him. We’re full of joy, full of peace, full of rejoicing.

You may have been through some trouble, but God is the One Who brings restoration. Isaiah 61:7 says, “For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.”

In The Amplified Bible, this verse says, “. . . You shall have a two fold RECOMPENSE. . . .” The word recompense is the same word that we get worker’s compensation from. You know what worker’s compensation is for? If you get injured on the job, they pay you worker’s compensation.

God is saying, “You’re working for Me. You got hurt in the service of the Lord. And I’m going to give you worker’s compensation. I’m going to give you double for your trouble.” Glory to God!

Joel 2:25 says, “I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm.” Some of you have been down with a lot of “worms” in your life. Some of you have lost years to a bad marriage. Some of you have lost years to health problems. But the Lord put something in my heart. He said, “My mercy is greater than your mistakes, and I am a Master at fixing any disaster.” 

God loves us that much. Whether we’ve done things that are our own fault, or whether it is the enemy who has stolen from us, God is still the Restorer! 

God wants you to have that dream fulfilled. He wants you to have joy. He wants you to have health in your body. God is a good God! And He’s got good things in store for us. Don’t let the devil steal anything from you. Declare restoration over your life! Take what belongs to you, in the Name of Jesus!

As we prepare for the Covenant Day of Restoration Service, you may have missed opportunities, blown chances and suffered innumerable disappointments in the past. Maybe Satan has stolen your job, your finances, your business, your peace joy and your children; and presently, they are his captives.

Regardless of where you are as you read this page, there is good news for you. We are in a season of divine restoration so the chapters of your life that is filled with regrets and guilt notwithstanding, we will not be complacent and just accept the status quo because God is able (and ready) to restore back to us all that was lost and stolen by the enemy.

 

 

ANOINTING

 The Dictionary meaning of Anointing is "to smear or rub with oil, typically as a sign of consecration or sanctification in a religious/sacred ceremony."

  • An individual or object set apart for divine use is said to be "anointed".
  • When people were anointed, God empowered them to accomplish His tasks.
  • No one was allowed to harm God's anointed.

Anointing expresses the sanctifying influences of the Holy Spirit upon Christians who are Priests and Kings unto God. Anointing with oil was a common Biblical practice that continues today. In the Bible, people, places and things were anointed with Holy Oil. Spiritually, Anointing oil represents blessing, protection and empowerment. Anointing oils also can be a symbol of our faith in Christ to answer our prayers through divine intervention.

 

And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

Isaiah 10: 27 (KJV)
