Our God Is The God of Restoration
2 Kings 8:1-6
Elisha had told the woman whose son he had brought back to life, “Take your family and move to some other country, for the Lord has called down a famine on Israel that will last for seven years.”
So the woman took her family and lived in the land of the Philistines for seven years. After the famine ended, she returned to the land of Israel and went to see the king about getting back her house and land. Just as she came in, the king was talking with Gehazi, Elisha’s servant, and saying, “Tell me some stories of the great things Elisha has done.” And Gehazi was telling the king about the time when Elisha brought a little boy back to life. At that very moment, the mother of the boy walked in!
“Oh, sir!” Gehazi exclaimed. “Here is the woman now, and this is her son—the very one Elisha brought back to life!”
“Is this true?” the king asked her. And she told him that it was. So he directed one of his officials to see to it that everything she had owned was restored to her, plus the value of any crops that had been harvested during her absence.
WOW! Pretty amazing, right?
That’s the kind of God we serve! He has given us every good and perfect gift (James 1:17) but He also promised to restore to us what the enemy has stolen! We have His promises but we must believe them and declare them ourselves!
God gave His Son, Jesus to restore us back into fellowship with Him. He has made every provision for our health to be restored back to us. Jesus paid the price at the cross, not only for our sins to be forgiven but for us to be healed. (Isaiah 53:4-5) The Word of God tells us that God renews our youth like the eagles (Psalms 103:5). There are verses after verses in the Bible of God’s promises of restoration. But, we have a part to play in it. It doesn’t just automatically happen!
Faith is voice activated! When we know what the Word of God has promised us, we must begin to speak it and declare it over our life! If we are passive about the promises of God we will not see them manifest in our life. We must have aggressive faith!
We have been created in God’s image and after His likeness. He looked out and saw darkness, but He didn’t speak darkness – He spoke “Light be” and light was! We are supposed to act like Him, speak like Him, and live like Him! After all, we are His children! It’s time we act like our Daddy!
Get in the Word of God today and find out what you have been given. That’s where it starts. God’s Word is His will for us! Take His Word and begin to speak it forth in faith and watch what happens! It will be awesome and you will begin to live the Sweet Life!

You Are Royalty
“Do you know of any parent who would give his hungry child, who asked for food, a plate of rocks instead? Or when asked for a piece of fish, what parent would offer his child a snake instead? If you, imperfect as you are, know how to lovingly take care of your children and give them what’s best, how much more ready is your heavenly Father to give wonderful gifts to those who ask him? Matthew 7:9-11 TPT
“As a member of My Royal Family everything has been provided for you! So, stop living like the world lives. Begin to see yourself as My beautiful Child, My son or daughter whom I love with a never-ending love. I provided everything to bring you back into relationship with Me. I gave you the choice and because you chose Me, now you are My very own child and I have made every provision for you. You need to begin to think about that! Meditate on exactly who you are and who your Father is. You are Royalty! You are My child, and as a member of My Royal Family every provision has been provided!
Would a king in this natural world allow one of his children to ever do without, or even to have to pay their own way when they go out into the world? No! Never! Why? Because they are royalty and they have all the benefits of being in the royal family! He loves them and he takes care of his own! They are royalty, just like he is. The royal family has no needs, no wants! Everything they will ever need or desire is available to them and it’s waiting for them to take! They don’t even have to think about it!
The children of the royal family expect royal treatment everywhere they go! They know that whatever they want or need, they can have it. They know that there are no limits to Daddy’s favor, his love or his provision!
Why would I do anything less? Why would I not provide for your every need or expect you to have to make your own way? Why do you see Me as doing less than a human king would do? Can’t you see that I would go far above and beyond what a human would ever do?
You have got to get this! You have got to get this into your thinking and allow it to take root in your heart! See yourself as Royalty, a member of My Royal Family! A precious child of the King! Expect royal treatment everywhere you go! Expect that I, Your Father have gone ahead of you and provided everything for you! Everything is available and waiting for you. Take it by faith, and enjoy all the benefits of being Royalty, of being a member of My Royal Family!
You may not be able to see in the natural where the money will come from. You don’t need to. Just expect it to be there when you need it! Don’t even think about it! Don’t let your heart dwell on that! My Word says, “Take no thought, saying…” So, stop thinking “How?”, “Where?”, “What?”! I also said, ‘Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you (Matthew 6:33).’ You have My blessing upon you and My promise that whatever you put your hand to will prosper.
Now, believe it! Go! Live carefree, without thoughts of cares and anxieties, knowing that whatever you need, has been provided! There are no limits, no boundaries, and no impossibilities in My Kingdom! You are in My Royal Family! You are Royalty!”
