Restoration In The Name Of Jesus!

Joel 2:1, “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand… 12Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful...15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly...17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?...19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen...23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. 24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil. 25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. 26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. 27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. 28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit… 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.”

This prophecy is for the end of days and primarily addressing the restoration and salvation of Israel. However, the theme of the passage is “restoration.” When the nation of Israel meets the criterion that God requires, He will complete their restoration and bring their salvation in Jesus Christ.

We find a similar theme and promise in 2 Chronicles 7 with the declaration of God’s restoration in verse 14, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Although, these passages are referring to God’s relationship with Israel, the Word is defining a universal principle and characteristic of our Heavenly Father. God is God of restoration. It is His nature to put lives back together. When we come to Him on His terms and meet His conditions, He will bring restoration in our lives.

God’s promise to Israel was to restore what they had lost or what had been taken from them. God is no respecter of persons and that promise is relevant to any believer in any generation. Satan does not want you to embrace that Promise. But through the blood of Jesus Christ, you are brought into the family of God. You are a Child of God as a Believer. As a blood-bought Child of God, we can declare in the power and authority of the Name of Jesus that the enemy release what he has stolen from us. If we will believe, the key will turn in the lock, the lock will fall free and the doors will swing open wide at the command of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Believe the Promise God has given you. By faith declare that the enemy loose what is yours and set you free. He has no other option but to comply. We pray it in Jesus’ Name! Amen! Take Back What Satan Has Stolen From You! RESTORATION IN THE NAME OF JESUS!
