God Will Restore What You Have Lost
1 July, 2008
How often we wish we can turn back our time where we can start all over. Where we have lost and been robbed of our most precious; whether it is a relationship, youth, wealth, health, anything that is dear and close to us. We may have even foolishly thrown it all away, leaving only regret, shame and guilt. We know we are forgiven and our past forgotten by the cleansing blood of Jesus. But wouldn’t it be great if we can get back those years wasted and live them for the glory of the Lord?
Now you can!
And I will restore or replace for you the years that the locust has eaten–the hopping locust, the stripping locust, and the crawling locust, My great army which I sent among you.
And you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord, your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you. And My people shall never be put to shame.
And you shall know, understand, and realize that I am in the midst of Israel and that I the Lord am your God and there is none else. My people shall never be put to shame. Joel 2:25-27 (Amplified Bible)
Although the past is irrevocable, irreversible and unchangeable, but God is saying we are a new creation, and He can do just that! There is a new beginning for us, filled with new chances, new opportunities and new expectations. God will not only wipe away our rotten past. But He will RESTORE and REPLACE the good of what we have lost, destroyed, and robbed by the devil and its demonic army.
We will have plentiful and be completely satisified. He wants you to know that truth and the truth that HE is in the midst of His people! He is not an absentee Father, we are not orphans. He will not allow His people to be shamed anymore. This is a profound truth that no one else can claim.
I the Lord am your God and there is none else.
The Day of the LORD is here!

Thank you for this message!
I have been trusting God, in His healing (and promised health-hope ministry) from cancer. He already healed me of MS…
Praise His name! Praise Jesus!
Would you please say a prayer for me, that I will press on, even in the symptoms, in a joyful faith, and walk in the calling, as a faithful servant.
Bless you!

Hi Shannon,
Go on and keep declaring that by His strips we are healed! (Isaiah 53:5)
Jesus came to heal the sick. Keep pressing on in faith, by the hearing of the Word and His promises!
Jesus turned around, and when he saw her he said, “Daughter, be encouraged! Your faith has made you well.” Matthew 9:22
I want to say this and say it again:
“This is the Year of the Favour of the Lord, the day of the favour of the Lord is here and I am the Favour of the Lord”
Amen!
Let’s all declare it aloud!
Thank you for your ‘God will restore’ article.
I used to pastor a church here in Holland Europe, but due to foolish decisions in 1995 I lost all my money and my chance to prosper my wife and kids. Since then I had to close down the church and we have spent all those years trying to make ends meet, hurting and unable to discern which way to get back to the place of Gods favour. I feel ashamed and sometimes I would rather die, because I made my wife so unhappy.
My trust has always been in the Lord and His word, but now I am 60 and it seems like all opportunities are gone I cannot hear God anymore.
Hi John,
I believe you must let the past bagage go and let the Lord heal your wounds.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
Yes, you’re right. I receive this word and I will cling to it. Many thanks for your encouragement.
Be blessed !
God is faithful and His word is never in vain , it ALWAYS accomplishes what He has sent it to do , i know for a fact that God has restored me beyond my imagination and trust and pray that He will do so for many others. The battle belongs to Jehovah God . Amen
