It’s Saturday morning and I felt a bit tired when my eyes opened up, but that didn’t stop me from starting my conversation with God while still in the bed. As a matter of fact, I prayed in the bed, read my word in the bed, and even worshipped too. I had a moment where I felt like I was holding back tears and trying to be strong. Some things are shifting in my family right now and while I know that we will be fine, I had a moment where I just grieved what is actually happening. The Holy Spirit let me know as I cried that HE IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE AND THAT HE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME.
As I heard that through what was now loud cries, I began to feel this peace take over. A calmness started to come over me. Tears were still falling, even while the peace and calmness had started, the enemy tried to make me feel guilty about what is happening. But I shut him up with praise. I just started saying Thank you Jesus. I love you Jesus. You are worthy Jesus. You are mighty Jesus. Hallelujah Jesus. Hallelujah Jesus. I just kept on praising and that’s when I heard the Holy Spirit say: I AM RESTORING EVERYTHING THAT THE THIEF STOLE FROM YOU!
Now I knew that was in the Bible somewhere but I didn’t know exactly where, so I started looking for it. I found it in Proverbs 6:31. Matter of fact, what I found was a whole prophetic blog post about it that included a whole prayer! I was like wow Holy Spirit…this is right on time. Y’all…seeking God. I can’t even stress SEEKING GOD enough on this blog and podcast. When you SEEK GOD first, He will take you right where you need to be to receive what He has for you to receive.
But if he [the thief] is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole, even if he has to sell everything in his house.” Proverbs 6:31
And thieves who get caught must pay back seven times what was stolen and lose everything. Proverbs 6:31 CEV
See the thief is the devil. He has stolen some stuff from me (and from you). Now that I SEEK GOD daily and have a deeper relationship with Holy Spirit, He is able to reveal the thief’s (satan) strategies and I can see over the course of my life, how the thief has come in and taken from my life, my relationships, my finances, and my family. But Proverbs 6:31 says he got to pay it back because he has been caught! I didn’t know it was the thief, but John 10:10 tells us that the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; but Jesus came so that we may have life, and have it to the full!! I want everything the devil stole from me…BACK. And not just what I had, but 7 times what I had!!! Seven means divine perfection and completion. Philippians 1:6 says: And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it if finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. So even what the devil thought he stole from me, IS STILL GOING TO BE COMPLETED. My purpose in God will still prevail. My destiny is still DEFINITE!!!
As I was reading that blog post, it said where you have been attacked the most, you will have the greatest breakthrough!! Y’all I could have shouted! I did shout! The devil has always attacked me in relationships and finances. So I am shouting Hallelujah for my 7 times restitution blessing! And it’s already happening! Praise the Lord! It’s already done in heaven, so be it unto me on earth in Jesus name!
Okay, now y’all know we have been in the book of Acts for our Scriptural Bible Study, and today we read (or you should have read chapter 4). What stood out for me is Acts chapter 4, verses 4, 20, and 31. Yesterday we talked about how Peter and John healed the lame man. When you read verse 4 in chapter 4, the study notes say through the healing of ONE lame man, God brought about 5000 men to Christ!!! Y’all from ONE MAN, 5000 men came to Christ!! That goes to show you that if you just be obedient to do the one thing God told you to do. If you just be obedient to bless the one, to heal the one, to pray for the one, to do the ONE ASSIGNMENT BY GOD, it can bless way more than the one! Come on y’all…one lame man and then 5000 people came to Christ!!!! Whooo Weee!! Y’all ought to be shouting right now. If you not, read it again. LOL!
Speaking of shouting, verse 20 says, “for we are unable to stop speaking about what we have seen and heard. See, the priests, the captain of the temple police, and the Sadducees had confronted Peter and John about what they did with the lame man. And they didn’t want them spreading the name of Jesus basically, but y’all the 5000 had already heard the message about Jesus and believed it! They was kinda late trying to shut Peter and John up, but I love how Peter and John answered them in verse 20. They basically said…can’t stop, won’t stop! Okay! And on down in verse 31, it says: when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God boldly.
I want to encourage you to be bold today. The thief didn’t win. What God has for you is yours and now the thief got to pay 7 times what he stole from you!! Restitution!!! So fix your eyes on Jesus, and not what was stolen, because we already have the victory and it’s coming back to you!! Matter of fact, I have been cleaning out the old stuff lately, because I am making room for ALL THE NEW GOD HAS FOR ME, plus what the enemy stole from me!!
Hallelujah JESUS!!
P.S. One of my friends sent me this after reading this blog! And I replied that this is the one that was in my head.
