Restored Wasted Years!

And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm...(Joel 2:25)
It excites me to know the Lord can restore to you even that which you seem to have lost; He's the restorer of wasted years. No human being or government may ever be able to give back to you what you've lost, but God can! He can bring back everything and more!

What is that thing you may have thought you lost? Perhaps you thought you messed things up so bad they couldn't be rectified; or you looked at your life and thought you've wasted so much time without making progress. I bring you good news today: it's not over yet! God is willing and able to restore you to the place of your dream and destiny in Him.

What you need is to recognize that the Holy Spirit living in you is a restorer! In one sweep, He can move you a hundred paces forward, far ahead of your competitors, detractors and adversaries. Those who seemed to have gotten ahead of you would be amazed to see how things have turned around for you in a moment of time! Learn to trust the Spirit of God to lead and guide you in life.

 He knows how to make something beautiful out of your life, and restore the wasted years- the wasted time, resources, money etc.

Perhaps on your job you were given an assignement and you wasted the resources assigned to you; or maybe you're a student, and you've wasted so much time at the expense of your studies; relax! 

You can trust the Holy Spirit to restore all that you've lost! He can do it, and He will if only you'll call on Him! If any of these describes your situation, say, "Holy Spirit, I'm sorry I messed things up, but I ask you to come to my aid and restore to me that which I have lost! I receive that divine restoration now; in Jesus' Name." 
Now, act like someone who has received the answer to that prayer, and launch out in faith, trusting the Lord who specializes in restoring wasted years.

PRAYER

Dear Lord,

 I rejoice to know that you're more than able to restore

 

to me the things I have lost over the years, knowing that 

nothing is irredeemable for you're the restorer of all things! 

Therefore I'm not behind in life, as the Holy Spirit

living in me gives me the wisdom and understanding

 to put things right,

 in Jesus' Name. Amen.

What Can You See? Concerning the coming year

And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever (Genesis 13:14-15).

When the Lord told Abraham to lift up his eyes and look in the scripture above, He wasn't referring to the man's physical eyes, but to the eyes of the spirit. God told him all the land he could "see" was his; it was now up to Abraham to decide how far he wanted to see. Being a man of faith, he looked from his spirit and saw the whole world. The Bible says "For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith." (Romans 4:13). Abraham became the heir of the whole world by faith.

Now, that's not the end of the story. The Bible says "So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham" (Galatians 3:9). You're as much the heir of the world as Abraham: "And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise" (Galatians 3:29). No wonder the Bible declare that God has given you everything require for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). However, it's that which you've taken possession of by faith, that which your spirit has embraced, that you can enjoy. So it's up to you! As far as your eyes can see, that's what the Lord has given to you for an inheritance.

The question then is, "What do you see?" Concerning the coming year, for example, what do you see? Can you see yourself making progress? Can you see yourself walking in health, prosperity, joy and peace? You've got to see it, for that's the key. See yourself walking in the wonderful blessings of God in the coming year.

As you fast and pray about the coming year, see yourself making unprecedented progress in every area of your life. See God taking you from glory to glory. Perhaps you've been praying and asking God for a child, see the child with your spirit first. Whatever you've taken possession of from within, will certainly manifest in the physical.

Start practicing how to see from your spirit, for your spirit is where the light of God is. God doesn't function in the realm of the mind or senses. If your going to enjoy all the wonderful benefits of salvation God has in store for you, then you've got to see with the eyes of faith and speak forth what you see.

CONFESSION

I declare that I'm living in divine health, absolute prosperity, unending success, abundant joy and indescribable peace today. As I look into the coming year with my eyes of faith, I see myself walking in the glory of God and expressing unprecedented progress and success, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Your Words Release Spirit-power!

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit (Proverbs 15:4).

The most potent force in the universe is the force of words. Through them, God created the entire world; He framed everything with His words and lets us know that we can do the same. Words release spirit-power. In Genesis 1, the Bible shows how the earth was a chaotic mass and the Spirit of God moved over the face of the deep. He incubated upon the face of the waters as a hen would brood over its eggs, but no change was obvious until God spoke.

When He spoke, He released spirit-power through words and whatever He said became. When He said "Let there be light," spirit-power was released and light suddenly came forth out of darkness. In John 6:63, Jesus said, "...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."  This is very important. Everyone releases spirit when he speaks, but not everyone releases life. In fact, many people release death all the time into their lives, families, finances, business and future when they speak, without knowing it. Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." 

That God gave us the ability to speak is evidence of His great love for us, for He gave us the tool to frame our worlds to conform to His perfect will. We're the products of words. Words-the right words-build us, and program us for success, victory and progress. But the wrong words destroy a man's life. It matters the kind of words you speak about yourself. Speak only lifting words--Spirit inspired words that give life--not words that destroy. Remember, your tomorrow will be a reflection of the words you speak today, so speak life-giving words.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for giving me the ability to speak words of power that produce life. I speak peace, progress, prosperity and health concerning my life. My life is for your glory, solely dedicated to doing your will and making your name known in the earth, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Kenneth Copeland's Prayer For A ( Monthly) Heavenly Grant.

Be it known this day [your today's date here] we receive a heavenly grant in the amount of [your faith-level amount here].  

Father, in the Name of Jesus, we come boldly to the throne of grace and present your Word.

According to John 16:23AMP, Jesus said  "I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that My Father will grant you whatever you ask in My Name ". Jesus, you said in Mark 11:23-24AMP "whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it]." Your Word said in Luke 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom."

In Accordance to your Word, we give, we sow seed in order to set the Spiritual law to work on our behalf. Jesus, in Matthew 18:18, you said "Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."  Therefore we bind satan and all of his forces. 

Father, Your Word in Hebrews 1:13-14 said "But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" Now, we loose the ministering spirits and charge them to go forth to cause our grant to come to us. (Matthew 18:18-19) "...I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven." Therefore we set ourselves in agreement and believe we receive now and we praise you for it!
