Bible Reading: 1 Kings 18: 20-39
Memory Verse: And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved. Hosea 12:13 (KJV)
Restoration is the act of returning something to a former owner, place, or condition. The word “restore” appears 136 times throughout the books of the Bible. Your glory, years, health, emotions, finance, spiritual life, job, business, spouse, wealth, and any other thing the enemy has stolen from you before now can all be restored unto you. But, there is a protocol.
Keys To Restoration include:
1. Genuine Encounter: Have you met with Jesus? What has changed in your life after you gave your life to Jesus? That boyfriend/girlfriend, that demonic addiction to pornography, masturbation, drugs, or worldly music, etc, has got to change. The song writer said, “The things I used to do I do them no more”. You must give up your old life in order to embrace the New life in Christ Jesus (Galatians 1:15-19).
2. The mystery of the Blood of Jesus: Until the blood of a lamb (a similitude of the Blood of Jesus) was sprinkled on top of the lintel of the house of the children of Israel, there was no Passover. The Blood of Jesus must speak vengeance before some die-hard and long-term enemy will let you go prior to your restoration (Exodus 12).
3. The judgement of God: It is sad but true that not until certain people are judged by God, your restoration may not be in view. The spiritual sight of Prophet Isaiah was not restored until King Uzziah died (Isaiah 6:1). Certain people blocking your rain of abundance must go before there can be open heavens. Bring down the God of Mount Carmel after the order of Elijah upon the prophets of Baal.
4. The ministry of a Prophet: Many times, your restoration is tied to a Prophet. For the restoration of the children of Israel, God sent a Moses. For the restoration of the walls of Jerusalem, God sent an Ezra, Zerubabel and Nehemiah. No one despise the ministry of his Prophet and fulfills destiny in this wicked world (Hosea 12:13, 2 Chronicles 20:20b).
Quote: Those who accept the Lordship of the God of restoration reaps from His many benefits.
Prophetic Decree: Anyone holding down what belongs to you shall not see the next year, in Jesus mighty name.
Prayer Focus
1. Thank you Father for your power to restore wasted years.
2. O God of vengeance, arise, give me a restoration miracle, in the name of Jesus.
3. My blessings in the hands of household witchcraft, O God of Elijah, retrieve them by fire, in the name of Jesus.
4. By the Spirit of the Prophets, I command a Mount Carmel experience upon all the Prophets of Baal standing against my rain of abundance, in Jesus name.
5. I cancel all the activities of the powers in my environment fashioned against my full scale restoration, in the name of Jesus.
