Allelula praise the name of the Lord. Let's pray, Father, we thank you for tonight, and we bless you for this opportunity to grow, to be taught, to be imparted. Lord, we thank you for this great ministry, this great vision. Thank you for wine press. The Bible declares that they go from strength to strength, as many as appear before the Lord in Zion. I pray that we will rise and we will go from glory to glory. Let your word come with power, let it come with clarity, Let it edify us, let it build us tonight. And I pray in the name of Jesus that within the time that we have to share, let the sick be healed, let the oppressed be delivered, and as always, let Jesus be revealed and Jesus glorified. In Jesus name, I pray my joy to be here. Thank you so much, please be heeded. Let me very quickly bless and honor the Man of God and his dear wife, Pastopology. Please honor him from me and his dear wife. And I want to sincerely celebrate all of the pastors, the leaders, and all who are part of this vision. Let's honor them great work made the Lord. Bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank you, please be seeded. While I prayed and inquired of the Lord on what to share tonight, I had a vision. This is how I want to start tonight. I had a vision and in that vision was a room and I just saw people moving and they were lamenting, and it looked as though something was missing. This is what I saw in my vision. And they were looking around, and then all of a sudden, light came and the people began to rejoice. And I had the word restoration. This I wanted to believe every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. I'll be teaching very very briefly on the principle of restoration, and then will pray. I trust that as we pay attention, will not only learn, but that the power and the grace to make that word become a reality in our lives will be released. Even whilst the word comes in the name of Jesus, Allelujah. The Bible lets us know that it is possible for men to lose people relationships, as we see all through scripture in the Bible, people lost loved ones, people lost relationships in the Bible it is also clear that people can lose things. We see that things were lost in the Bible. For instance, the story of the Act's head that fell is at last master it was borrowed. So we see that people can lose things. But we also see from scripture that people can lose time. That it is not only men that can be lost. It is not only things that can be lost, but the greatest loss, as recorded by scripture and from scripture is time. Is that true? So God is able to restore people. We see that in stories that depict resurrection. Resurrection is a type of restoration. And then we see God restoring things not just over the lives of individuals, but even over nations. The prophet said by this time tomorrow and there was a complete restoration of the economic dignity of a region. But then the Bible also says that in God's dealing with men, he is so mighty that he sustains the power to restore even time. Joel, Chapter two and verse twenty five, Io and verse twenty five. Joel two and verse twenty five. I will restore to you the years, not just the things. You can have, the restoration of relationships, you can have, the resurrection of things. But let me tell you, real dominion is dominion over time, because the unit of destiny is measured in time. When you meet a dying man, he will not ask you for more things. When you meet a dying man, his greatest request is time, because if you can give him time, every other thing can be found in time. A way together. Now, when you lose relationships under a certain condition, you can easily have another relationship. When you lose things. People have lost money, people have lost properties, and with time they got it back. But when you lose time, there is no factor that guarantees the restoration of time. Again. Are we together now? Yes? Because it is not given on to men to live in the past physically. But God is saying in my dealings with men, I can restore people, I can restore things, and I can restore time. This is very important. I examined the subject of losses. It is a word that people do not want to hear. The moment I mention a loss or losses, either to a businessman or someone who just lost a loved one, is not a word that anyone wants to be associated with at all. Are true when you hear the word prophet, you hear the word gain. Now these are words that we like. Nobody wants to hear the word loss or losses. And by the spirit of God, very quickly, I just want to exhort us. I'm not really doing an extensive exegesis of God's word, just a charge, really, so that we can pray a few reasons why individuals lose in life. Please pay attention. Tonight's message can be a lifeline for someone based on that which God showed me. There are a number of reasons. And in as much as every new year, every new season, we aspire for the best of God in our lives and our destinies. If we do not know what makes for a life of defeat and retrogression, we will continue repeating the same mistakes. And you have every new year look like the former year in spite of the prophetic words. And so God is giving us a chance by his word to be able to accend through knowledge to a higher realm where our results become predictable. You can know that you are done with losses and retrogression. Are we together? Now? Our confidence in this kingdom is based on the integrity of God's word. There are two qualities of God that the believer builds his confidence upon. Number one is his integrity. Number two is his ability. These are the pillers of the believer's confidence. So when people ask you, based on what do you think God will not fail you? It is based on his integrity. God is not a man that he should lie. He is not a man. You may have heard it in my teaching things that God only became a man, but he is not a man. Are we together? Yes? The Bible tells us that men lie. They don't lie because they are bad, They lie because they are men. So he says, God is not a man that he should lie. He is not the son of man. That is the basis of your confidence. It means God only says what he can do. So if you hear God say anything, he has vetted his ability to find out that that what he has said, it is within his power to make it come to pass. Are we together? Now? This is very powerful. So his integrity and his ability. Let's examine a few reasons why people experience losses of all kinds in their lives. Are you learning already? Number one lack of discernment Hebrews, Chapter two and verse one let's tdy a few scriptures as fast as we can Hebrews two and verse one. Lack of discernment. It says, therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard less at any time, we should let them sleep, say discernment. Discernment is very important. Isaiah chapter one and verse three. These are scriptures that show us the danger of not having discernment. Isaiah one three. It says the ox know what his owner, and the us his master's creep, but Israel does not know my people does not consider. That means these people have not built themselves to be able to discern. We lose in life because we do not know how to discern the faculty of spiritual perception, the ability to know what God is doing in these days. If you lack discernments, you will lose a lot of things. It can cost you even your bishopric, he said his bishopric. Let another take, are we blessed? Ezekeel chapter twelve. Let's look at one or two more scriptures Ezekel chapter twelve. Who start from verse one and two. Ezekeel Chapter twelve, from verse one and two. The word of the Lord also came to me saying, please, let's read verse two together. Ready, one to read, Son of Man, thou dwell less in the midst of a rebellious people, It says, which have eyes to see, and see not they have ears to hear and hear not for their That is his definition of lack of discernment. That you have eyes, and yet you do not see. You have ears and you do not hear. People lose because they do not have the ability to see and to hear, very very powerful. Acts twenty eight and verse twenty seven. Let that be the last verse for this, and then we jump to the next Acts twenty eight and verse twenty seven. It said that for the heart of these people is works gross. For their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. There is a relationship between discernment and restoration. There is a relationship between lack of discernment and losses. Many people, many believers have not trained their faculty of spiritual perception to discern people. The son opportunities the sun seasons. He says and of the sons of Isaka, men who had the understanding of the times, and that they knew what Israel ought to do, and because of that their brethren were at their command. Number two, why do people lose in this kingdom? Carelessness? Number two carelessness Hebrews chapter two, verse three. Where we read Hebrews two and verse three. Just pay attention to the scriptures and let them speak to your spirit Hebrews two and verse three. How shall we escape? It says, if we neglect so great salvation, which at the first begun to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed onto us by them which heard him, How shall we escape? When there is neglect? Carelessness? Many believers have demonstrated carelessness across every area of their lives. Carelessness with opportunities, carelessness with moments, carelessness with prophetic words. Are we together now, yes, Judges? Chapter eleven. Let's read from verse thirty. We're discussing the reasons why people lose in this kingdom as an attempt to understand the value of restoration. And we said, Number one is lack of discernment, the absence of it. Number two carelessness. Are we their judges? Eleven? From verse thirty remember this story of Jef. To pay attention. It says, Jefter vowed a vow onto the Lord. You will see the consequence of carelessness right now. Carelessness with words, carelessness with commitments. It says, if thou shalt, without fail, deliver the children of Aarmen onto my hands we're reading to touch, then it shall be that wordsoever comfort out of the door to meet me when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the Lord, and I will offer it for a bond offering. Say carelessness, This is a man who is speaking carelessly. This is clearly emotions that Lord. If you give me victory anything that comes out of my house, I will give you as a bond offering. Follow closely. So Jeft passed over to the children of Ammon to fight against them, and the Lord delivered them into his hands. And we're still here, and he smote them even until all of those places, and thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel. Thirty four, it says, and Jeft came to Misper onto his house, and behold who came out. His daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances, and she was his only child. Say carelessness. We lose things in life because we do not allow the Holy Spirit to lead us. People make careless statements, careless commitments, and many of us the reason why we've not been able to experience advancement and evil restoration is because we make careless commitments. Carelessness beside her. He had neither son nor daughter thirty five, and it came to pass when he saw her. He rent his clothes and said, at last, my daughter, thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that troubled me, for I have opened my mouth onto the Lord, and I cannot go back. There are people who make commitments that were beyond your financial level. Emotionally, they just met a family of ten people and said I would take care of all of you to university. And the wife said, but what is the financial state of the family? Said, and they clapped for you when you spoke it, and they captured it on TV. Carelessness, hasty in speech, carelessness, especially with words. There are people who have said things that they wish they did not say, because careless entrances have caused people years damage. Control for years is someone learning now the reason why we lose in this kingdom carelessness, carelessness. In Matthew chapter fourteen, when you read from verse six to eleven, I don't know if we can look at it is a parable, the parable of the talent. Remember he gave on to one. Five, he gave on to one. Two, he gave on to Matthew fourteen. Let's look at it from verse six. Sorry, that was the story of Herodias. Keep it. Let's just read it since you've put it up. The Bible says when Herodia's bird day was kept, that when Herold's bird day was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and please, who are you ready to say carelessness again? Please read verse seven one to read whereupon he promised with an oath to give her You see how careless people are. How in the world do you stand as a king who is responsible for the destinies of many? And simply because a lady danced before you, and you were happy, and you made a careless statement that anything that means if she said, get up from that throne? Are we together now? Verse eight? And she been therefore instructed of our mother, said give me here. John Baptist's head in a charger, and the king was sorry. You see it now that every time people do careless things and say careless things. Eventually, why do we lose in this kingdom? Because we're not thoughtful, We're not guided by the world, We're not guided by the spirit. You see, there are three faculties. Let me teach you this very quickly. I wish I had time. There are three faculties for by which we interact with this rem and we make decisions. I will start from the third. The third is emotions. It is the weakest of all because it vacillates. Two is reason, based on logic and principles. It is stronger than emotions. The highest number one is discernment. You see, so we have emotions, we have reason that is based on principles. Emotions are based on feelings. They vacillate and they change. Reasoning is based on principles, and so there is a measure of stability. But the highest is discernment because it is based on the voice of God. It is based on the world of God. Away together, now that means I can look at your life and know which of these faculties you have exalted. If I see the vacillations around your decisions, I know that you have exalted emotions above reason and above discernment. If I see that you are excessively philosophical with no honor to the ministry of the Holy Spirit in your life, I know you have exalted reason above emotion and above discernment. In disorder, it is discernment, then reason, then emotions. When the devil ones should destroy people, he manipulates them because it's the master of the sense rem to exalt your emotions. The moment you get to the realm of emotions, you are in Satan's domain. He will play miserable with you. Can I tell you this, Both frustration and excitement can lead to emotions. So whether you are responding from a state of excitement or a state of frustration, if you are not careful and you're not guided, you can be careless. This man was excited and he said, young girl, whatever it is that you want, I will give it to you. And she met her mom and said, mom, look at this offer. And the mom said, finally, I have a chance to kill a prophet. And they killed him in a miserable way, as though the spirit of God was never upon him. That's the implication of carelessness. Are we learning number three? Very quickly? Why do we lose in this kingdom ignorance of the laws of the kingdom? Ignorance, ignorance of the laws of the kingdom. In Psalm eighty twoe verse five, Popular scripture, it says, they know not, neither will they understand. They walk on in darkness, and all the foundations of the earth are out of course. They know not, They know not. This is a kingdom that thrives by knowledge Proverabs. Nineteen and verse two. Proverabs. Nineteen and verse two. The Bible says, through knowledge shall the just be delivered? Proverabs. Nineteen and verse two. Are we there? It says also that the soul Okay, that the soul be without knowledge? It is not good. I was quoting another scripture. It says, and he that hasted with his feet see in it. So it is not good to be without knowledge. Lay your hands on your head in one minute and declare that this year twenty twenty two, this is the year you will contend for superior spiritual knowledge. Go ahead and pray in one minute, make a commitment by God, Make a commitment by His grace, our last Scoop Randy gabar Assu, theater, ignorance of the ways of God. I'm tired of shadow boxing, living my life by guesswork, hoping I am right. You can step into a level of predictability and excellence in your spiritual life through knowledge. It says, through knowledge shall just be delivered in the name of Jesus Christ, allelujah. Number four, why do we lose in this kingdom? Don't forget what we're dealing with. We're examining why believers lose. Number one, I said, is lack of discernment. Number two carelessness. Number three ignorance of the ways of God, ignorance of the laws of the kingdom. People lose financially because they do not understand the kingdom. Truths are located for their excellence. On that wise, people lose to principalities and powers and demons and live defeated lives because they do not understand the weapons of victory that have been given to the believer. Just knowing that victory has been purchased for us in Christ does not administer victory to you. The administration of victory is by light. Are we together now? Yes? So just being aware does not bless you, the Bible says, in if for one verse eighteen, he says, having the understanding darkened, been alienated through from the life of God, through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their hearts. It takes knowledge. It takes knowledge. It takes knowledge, It takes knowledge. I commend you to God, he says, and to the world of his grace, which is able to build you up, and then to give you an inheritance among them that are sanctified away together, the Bible says, an air for as long as that air is a child. A child means one who is void of knowledge, it says. It different not from a slave, even though he be lord of all. Number four, Why do we lose in this kingdom? Abuse and misuse? Write it down, please, Abuse and misuse a major reason why believers lose. Abuse and misuse. Just write for reference. We may not have the time to go through it. Matthew, Chapter twenty five. When you read from verse fourteen to thirty Matthew twenty five, fourteen to thirty, we abuse and we misused time. This was the story of the what they call it now. Five The three people who were given talents. Parable of the talents one five, one, two and the other one. And you can see how careful and intentional the first to wear the last person was careless. He went and buried his talent. You bury seeds, not talents. You see that. And when the master came, he said, I know you are hard man. You like ripping where you did not sow. So I thought that instead of wasting your talent, I do you a favor by burying it. Here is your talent. And he called him a wicked and on profitable. Seventh. Abuse. The word abuse comes from two words abnormal use. Abnormal use. People abuse opportunities, They abuse access, They abuse moments, and they lose. Many people have abused access to great people, access to great minds. We continue to lose because of abuse, abuse of privileges. Remember in Second sam Well, just write it for reference against Second sam Well Chapter two. Well, let's read from twelve to seventeen, but the entire text is from chapter twelve of First sam Well, First and Well chapter twelve down to chapter first and Well chapter two down to first and weel chapter four. This was the story of the Sons of Eli. But let's just look at chapter two first and weel two from verse twelve to seventeen, the Bible talks about the sons of Eli. Remember Hoffni and Finny has The Bible says the sons of Eli were sons of Belial. They knew not the Lord. Read to seventeen. It says, and the priest custom with the people was that when any man offered sacrifices, the priest servants came while the flesh was in sitting with a flesh hook of three tit in his hand, ah, and they struck into the pan or kettle, or caldron or pot, all that the flesh who brought up the priest took for himself. It was a privilege of priesthood. And this principle still walks till today in the body of Christ. Are you seeing that now there are privileges that priesthood brings, but there can be the abuse of it. To cut the story, the long story shot, it was that when the meat or whatever the sacrifice was boiling, you are giving the privilege to put that fork, and whatever you bring out, it is your own blessing from the Lord. But the Howfani and Finni has said, Ah before you boil it. Let us clearly look at it and peep. You see that they kept taking advantage of the fact that their father was a priest. You'll see their end. Remember the story Ecboard. When the Ak of God was taken, they were also captured and killed. They brought eli report and said, listen, your sons are dead. That was not even what they stopped him. They said, the ac of the Lord has been captured. He fell down, broke his neck and that was the end of it. Abuse, abuse, abuse and misuse. Many of us have misused privileges, We have misused opportunities. Have you heard people say, I'm connected to so many people and none of them can help me. Find out why? None of them can help you even though you are close to them, you are abuse access to their numbers. You call them every time and say you are not answering. Have you forgotten we're relatives abuse and you know, sadly speaking Africa, we are masters of abuse. We abuse opportunities, We abuse moments you have. There is an entitlement mentality away together. Now we just believe that someone somewhere owes us to succeed and come and bring an honorarium from that success, abuse and misuse. Number five, Why do people lose? The final reason I'll give you is tests and trials. It is true that when we go through seasons of tests and trials, like the Bible shows, it is possible that we lose things. In James Chapter one, from verse two and three. James Chapter one from verse t one three, here's what the Bible says, brethren. So he's talking to brethren, he's not talking today who are outside of faith. Count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations, he says. Knowing this, your confidence should be based on this knowledge that the trying of your faith walked patience. The trying of your faith walked patience. Are we together now? It is true that when people are going through seasons of prunings and trainings is an uncomfortable truth. But it is true that people momentarily can lose things. Are we together? We read all through scripture that people were constrained. When David was in the cave of Adulam running away, he lost several things opportunities, even though he had people there with him. When Joseph, on account of his his diligence and his honor to God and to the integrity of his person. He found himself in the prison, he lost the opportunity to be the head. Even though he was a slave, there were privileges that were withdrawn from him. So there are times that we go through seasons that, on account of the dealings of God in our lives, on account of several things, it is possible that we can lose some of these things. Maybe you are a person of integrity in the office, and on account of your integrity, is possible that momentarily you can lose a few things, privileges, opportunities. These are the five reasons I have examined from scripture and from experience why people lose. Let me do a one minute recap. Lack of discernment, carelessness, ignorance of the laws of the kingdom, abuse and misuse, then tests and trials. But I have good news for you that in the name of Jesus it does not matter by which means, by the power that raised Christ from the dead, there must be restoration in your life in the name of Jesus Christ. Now please pay attention. Let me give you by the spirit about four keys that are responsible for restoration. Are you ready? Number one, the first key that is truly responsible for restoration. If you want God to restore moments, time, or whatever it is in your life. The first key is self examination, the power of self examination. Second Corinthians, chapter thirteen and verse five. It says, to examine ourselves whether we be in the faith? Prove your own selves examining yourself. Can I tell you this? When people are downcast, they do not take the personal responsibility of saying, listen, why am I here? This is not self condemnation. You have to learn to sit with yourself. Why are things not working for this family? Why is it that I have been in legos for ten years and have only celebrated the testimony of others. There is something about the responsibility of thoughtfulness that most believers do not submit themselves true. You have to sit down and ask yourself honest questions. The Bible says, examining yourselves whether ye be in the faith? Look chapter fifteen from verse seventeen. I'll just caught it and start from verse seventeen. This is a very classic story that demonstrates responsibility and the power of self examination. This is the story of the prodigal Zone. The Bible says, when he came to He never said the Holy Girl spoke to him. Bah. It is within your power to come to yourself. Sometimes, you see, pain is a gift because it can bring you to a point where you come to yourself. It is true when things happen too cheap, when you keep ripping our vest for seeds you did not sow. There are many of us who have been shielded by the love of others, and it has never given us an opportunity to examine ourselves. Whether you saw or not someone's hast you will share it with you. And chances are excellent that you can think that because you are receiving a harvest outsourced from another, you don't see the value of see time. You don't see the value of anything because someone else is shielding you the power of self examination. You must learn this. Have a time where you stay alone with God, lock yourself, go somewhere and say Lord, I am not happy at the way my life is going. Proverabs Chapter eighteen and verse one says it says to desire, a man haven't separated himself his secret and intermedleate with wisdom. Once you separate yourself, you have separated yourself from foolishness. To the moment you take the pain of separating yourself, it is wisdom you will encounter away together. Yes, why is my business not working? Why is my spiritual life not working? I've been born again for ten years, but I barely know anything about the principles of scripture? Why is it that I'm not attentive in church? You have to examine yourself and ask yourself very honest questions. The power of self examination. Number two, What is the second key that makes for restoration? Brokenness? Psalm fifty one and verse seventeen. Brokenness. Do you know what brokenness is? Brokenness is a state of recognition, recognizing your inadequacy, your inability to help yourself, hon assisted that if God does not come into this equation of my life to help me, my best will still be limited. Brokenness. Many people want God to restore them, restore their dignity and their honor, but that sense of self righteousness and pride is still alive there. In the story of the Prodigal Song, listen, the father did not come to meet the rebellious Arrogan son. The father came to meet a son that was already repentant and was ready to be restored. Are we together? Brokenness is very powerful. You worked out on your CEO and you lost your job. You are secretly hoping you will get back to the job, but you do not have the humility to be broken, to admit that I was wrong, and somehow you are hoping it does not work that way. Brokenness is not Brokenness is not something you assume. It is a state that everyone around you will know. This person is broken. There are many people today. If they were broken enough, they would have relationships restored together with the privileges. If that boy sat down there, the prodigal son, I presume if it stayed one more year in that foolishness, you would have died. Because he was already close to death. He said, how many high servants does my father have? And I'm here feeding with the swine. I will arise and I will go to my father, and when I meet him, I will say, Father, I have seened. I would say, father, it was just my mind. My mind was playing some emotional games. Call it what it is. I have seen against you, I have seen against heaven. The character of brokenness is that it admits without shame. Are way together, Pastor? I am sorry? I offended you. This is not the way it should be. It was carelessness. I take full responsibility. That's brokenness. The Bible says, a broken and a contract high to old Goddau will not despise many many, many people are unable to experience restoration in their lives because they are not genuinely broken, genuinely broken. There are many children who would get back the support of their parents, their sponsors, their loved ones if only they communicate brokenness in truth and in sincerity. Is that true? Brokenness? Number three? What's the third key that makes for restoration? Knowledge? Knowledge? Knowledge, knowledge? Perhaps eleven? I believe Verse nine says through knowledge shall just be delivered as that chapter sixty says, a rise, shine, for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. You are right, and you shine when your lfe comes. Knowledge, knowledge of what not, knowledge of your situation, or knowledge of what you want, knowledge of what it takes. Listen, most people know what they want, they even know what they don't want, but they do not have the knowledge of what it takes. Is that true? So this is what I want. I desired this so desperately, and this is it here the Bible says that this should be given to me. But you must know have the requisite level of spiritual illumination that takes you from prophecy to experience, or otherwise you will keep wishing things that will never never manifest in your life. It takes more than knowing what God has said. It takes more than knowing what God has told you to have it is that true. You must find out the the participatory condition He has connected to that promise. You're acting in keeping with the condition is your demonstration of faith. That faith is not just believing alone. Believing is part of the process of faith. Faith is the name given to the action of obedience you take as a sign that you believe God. I don't know if I've demonstrated it here, but say, for instance, I call this gentleman, and I say come and pick this. You see don't come, but just say you are coming. Say you are coming. Look at this, shout it again. Say I'm coming two thousand and eighteen, Say you are coming, twenty and nineteen. Say you are coming twenty twenty. The promise is still they are waiting. You have not manifested faith. You've just been wishing that you will have it and someone will come in twenty twenty two, my brother work and come and collect it. And you are wondering, where did you come from? Ah ah, it is the person who took the action of faith. Lord, I'm going to build the house you've never found out where there's an empty land. You are waiting for your bank account. It does not cost money to go on nowhere land is and say Lord, I have seen the land and someone who came from nowhere. Now the person is roof in his house. And you're wondering. Faith is not just saying what God has said. Faith is doing what it takes, as prescribed by Scripture to make what God has said be manifest in your life. Away together, thank you knowledge. We need high level spiritual illumination. Let me challenge you. I want you to go back home and write a list of all the areas in your life where you have not seen the world of God produce the kind of result that you desire. Knowing that God is glorified in your results. Remember what the Bible says. It says, let your light so shine before men that they may see. God wants men to see because insin the result that proceeds from you, they will glorify God hereing is our Father glorified John fifteen and verse eight. When ye bear much fruit, not little fruit, sustainable predictable results brings glory to the name of the Lord. Are we together? Galatians one twenty five, It says, and they glorified God in me. They glorified God in me, the excellent and see of the workings of the world. In and through your life. It compels all and soundry to know that Jesus Christ is lifted and glorified in and through your life. God is counting on everyone year as a membership, counting on individuals that through your life, your life will become a living epistle. Someone will look at your life this year and anything he did not understand in the morning, he will look at your life or the explanation. If he read his Bible in the morning and he saw that God was faith that God is faithful, and he did not get that Bible study, God would tell him look at this pastor as an explanation, a clarification to what you have learned. That's what it means to be a living epistle. Your life explains what people do not understand. About God. When God says that he can favor men, if they say, Lord, real that you can save for men, he personifies his word and bodies it in an individual, so that you become a demonstration of it. Nico Demos came to Jesus by night and said, Rabbi, we know that thou art a man sent from God. For no man can do these things except God be with him. There are certain results that are not within the realm of men. When you see men manifest that result, it was outsourced from a dimension that is higher than this human dimension. And I'm praying for someone here the frequency of results that you will begin to work in. You will be the first person surprised by your results. In the name of Jesus Christ. Listen, do not allow anybody downplay the place of results. Your Christian experience will remain a frustrated experience. If you do not have genuine, notable results. Gentiles will not come to you. They will come to your light. There are kings will not come to your lights. They will come to the brightness of your rising Damarl scared preachers here, whether in this ministry or those who came, this is the year to contend for high levels of spiritual power, high levels of wisdom, the kind of wisdom that is connected to mighty works. Business people, this is the year to operate at a dimension that your contemporaries will come to you and say, we have discerned that God is with you. Believe what I'm saying. Results are powerful. Results can evangelize. There are there are There are certain messages that only results can preach. The Bible said the Greeks seek for his side. The world is tired of vain explanations from Christians. One genuine result in the name of the Lord can bring to end decades of confusion a knowledge. We rise in this kingdom by knowledge. There is what you must know. There is what you must know to reign and to excel. There is what you must know to remain on fire. There is what you must know to access the spirit of wisdom. There is what you must know about kingdom influence. There is what you must know about longevity. There is what you must know about wealth and abundance. There is what you must know about the minion over systems and structures. There is what you must know about relationships. The question is which aspect of your life are you shot go back and becoming spiritual archeologist. Except for every one that seekeret find it as casater, Jesus gave a parable. We're praying now. He gave a parable, and he said, the kingdom is likened to an individual who lost a coin in a room. The coin means a treasure. The power to make purchases was missing in the room. He knew that that coin is somewhere. The first thing he did was he brought lights. The second thing he did was to carry a broom and started sweeping. I know this break through somewhere in scripture. I don't know what verst. I don't know what principle, but I know in scripture God lifts. I know in scripture God rests. I've not understood the dynamite you are sweeping, sweeping with messages, sweeping with prophetic words, and the Bible says she found it and she rejoiced. Can I tell you this, every time you claim you have found something and it does not show in your life, you are yet to find it. I found your word and it was a joy and rejoicing to my soul. Listen, light is powerful. Light is powerful. When you find this thing you have found it. Believe me, listen, you can gain mastery in the spirit. You truly can gain mastery in the spirit. It is a here that strives for mastery is not crowned except he strives lawfully. Move past the rem of trial and error, shadow boxing and hoping that one thing or the other will walk. You can rise to a level of predictability in your Christian experience that you wake up in the morning and you know you will be favored today. You know, Paul said, but I know whom I have believed, He said, I am persuaded knowledge. Knowledge. You must submit yourself through the labored dimension of faith to access knowledge. No matter how great the door is, there is a small key that opens it, and you can put that key in your pocket. But if that key is missing, you can stand before that door from morning till night. But then if you find the key, that is knowledge. You need understanding, because there are times that you can have the key and the dynamics of opening that door. Some those you turn once, some those you turn twice. For others you turn and do some other things. The Bible says in all that getting get understanding. Knowledge tells you what to do. Understanding tells you how to do it. Know Ledge says give, but understanding tells you how to give in a way that prospers you. Knowledge tells you pray. Understanding tells you how to pray to get results. Knowledge says fast, Understanding tells you the kind of fast that has been commanded. It's good to have knowledge, But in addition to knowledge, have understanding. Understanding brings stability to your life. My time is up number four the last, and then will pray be sensitive? Now I want to pray for you. The fourth key that activates restoration is the prophetic my Lacu theater. Someone's life is changing Isaiah forty two and verse twenty two. Isaiah forty two and verse twenty two. Never forget this scripture. But this is a people robed and spoiled. They are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses. They are for a pray and non deliver it. Read with me. They are for a spoil and non say it restore. Restoration does not just happen. Someone will say it. None say yet, restore, non say it restore. In Second Kings Chapter six, when you read the first seven verses very quickly, Second King's chapter six. This was a very interesting rendition. The Bible says the sons of the prophet said, onto Elijah, behold now, the place where we meet with you is too small. So it was a desire to advance. Next verse he says, let us go, we pray THEE onto Jordan and take the every man a peman. Let us make a place where we may dwell. And he answered and said go you verse three. And one said, be content, I pray THEE. Go with thy servants. And he answered, and he said, I will go. Verse four. So he went with them, and they came to Jordan and caught down wood. But as one was felling a p the axe head fell into the worl. He cried and said, a last master, for it was borrowed, wise man. Many people would try to jump inside the river and die there. No, there are certain results that you cannot just get it by yourself. God has positioned people within the body that in addition and in connection to your faith. This man cried and said, A last Master, I'm in trouble. I borrowed this. The prophet said, where fell it? And he answered, He showed him the place, and he cut down his stick and cast it thither, and the ion did swim. The ion did swim. The finances that left you did come back. Because you see, everything that left you is still on earth. On that is certain condition, it can come back. This is true. Please listen to me. When the prophetic is administered outside the boundary of scripture, it just becomes a display of ignorance with no potential power. But when the prophetic is administered within the jurisdiction of scripture, it works. One that's listen to me, my beloved people. There is a dimension of growth and restoration and excellence that only the prophetic can bring to your life. When you lose money, it's not another business that will bring the money back. No, you will only waste your time and keep digging deeper. It is the prophetic that will bring it back. It may look like a physical structure brought it back, but it is the prophetic. The economy of a whole land had gone down, and a prophet said, by this time tomorrow. He gave it the timing, and by the morrow there was restoration. I saw this vision, and I knew that the Lord wanted me to teach and charge and professih restoration. Listen to me. God can restore men, God can restore things, and God can restore time. Do you know how God restores time? He does not take you backward. He takes what was in your yesterday that should have happened, that did not happen. He brings it into your tomorrow. Are you getting the point now? You have to understand how God restores because God does not exist in time. He does not even exist in eternity, because eternity is time. It's just time without end, infinite summations, no summations of infinite dispensations. God dwells in a realm that is neither eternity nor time. So there is nothing like past, present, and future with God. That reality is only given to men to help us relate with God. There is no such thing as a future. There is no such thing as past. God's rem is now. That's it. So yesterday is as clear and real to God as your tomorrow. There is no difference away together, so he can move something that should have happened in year two thousand, twenty fifteen. Maybe at that time when that prophetic world would have come, you were not sensitive. God can move it into January and February. And make it happen in your life. This is restoration MHM. In one minute, wherever you are, I want you to pray very passionately and cry based on this world. Ask the Lord to bring restoration. Don't waste this moment. Go ahead and pray all the centers that are following overflows, those following online. Here is your chance to contact the grace that makes for restoration. Lift your voice and pray shannakata la cosa hey barracos cala shandelacadi alas, and I will restore Chapra laias cran de Barakatskati brett de Lahasia. Someone pray cutter bratt get de lacos cti brend de lahasa di she praise cati la sudar Blacusia. Let you be restoration. Pray. God can restore people, relationships, God can restore things, and God can restore years. Someone is praying, Lord, I've wasted ten fifteen years of my life. I waste that it not being a believer. But now in Christ, I am aware that you choose within your power to restore. I call for that restoration. Allelujah. The Bible says, and by a prophet the Lord God brought Israel out of Egypt. It was the Lord that brought them. But the instrument was the prophetic, it says, and by a prophet they were preserved. Let me read this one scripture and then I'll just take two or three minutes to just minister and speak over your life, and will end with another call. Nehemiah chapter five from verse eleven. Please do not forget this scripture. Nehmaiah chapter five from verse eleven. Rest I pray you to them even this day. Their lands, their five yards, they are olive yards. Their houses also a hundred red part of the money, and of the corn and wine and oil that he exact of them. Listen to that scripture. Someone is making a decree. He said, restore everything their lands, fine yards, oliviads, houses, one hundred part of the money, the corn, the wine, the oil. Verse twelve. Then said they we will obey. We will restore them, and will require nothing of them. So we will do as thou sayst Then I called the priests and took an oath of them that they should do according to his promise. It was the priest that came to see it. A command has come restore. But there must be the priest that says, sign, you must make this happen. Restore, restore my joy, restore victory, restore everything. Listen. The Bible says, when the Lord Tonica in the captivity of Sion, it says, we were like them that dream. Our mouths were filled with laughter, and they testified among the hidden. The Lord has done great things for them. It says, the Lord have done great things for us. Where off we are glad. Then it says Tonic gain our captivity like the streams of the negative. I sense in my spirit that there are people here. I tell you, I send such a strong annointing. We just have about two or three minutes. We're not taking too much time, but I want you to believe in the power of God. The power of God is his currency for purchasing realities for believers, that as a result of this encounter, many of you will return with tears, some testimonies and will say I've not seen it in this fashion before. Allen Luia. The three categories of people I want to pray with very quickly, very very quickly, and then I just speak over our lives. Number one, I want to impart the grace for speed listen.

I need a functional relationship with the God of the Bible. And there are orders. We're saying, Apostle, I need restoration. As it stands, I cannot say I'm proud of my spiritual life.
