Speaker 5: I like to start with something funny, and I heard
Speaker 5: about this group of school children. They were in the
Speaker 5: cafeteria line at their Catholic elementary school. At the start
Speaker 5: of the line, there was a big bowl of apples.
Speaker 5: A nun had written a note that said, take only one.
Speaker 3: God is watching.
Speaker 5: At the end of the line there was a big
Speaker 5: ball of chocolate chip cookies. One of the children had
Speaker 5: written a note. It said take all you want.
Speaker 3: God is watching. The apples.
Speaker 5: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.
Speaker 5: I am what it says I am. I have what
Speaker 5: it says I have. I can do what it says
Speaker 5: I can do. Today I will be taught the word
Speaker 5: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my
Speaker 5: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,
Speaker 5: God bless you. I want to talk to you today
Speaker 5: about nothing missing. We all go through disappointments and things
Speaker 5: we didn't see coming, and it's easy to accept it
Speaker 5: and think that's.
Speaker 3: The way it's always going to be.
Speaker 5: We went through a breakup, we'll always be lonely, had
Speaker 5: a set back in our business.
Speaker 3: We'll always struggle.
Speaker 5: Came down with an illness, We'll always have to deal
Speaker 5: with it.
Speaker 3: But God didn't say we wouldn't go through challenges.
Speaker 5: We'd never experienced loss, But he did promise when he's fent,
Speaker 5: nothing will be missing.
Speaker 3: He's a god of restoration.
Speaker 5: You may have lost your health, lost your joy, lost
Speaker 5: a position, but that's not how your story ends. Don't
Speaker 5: judge your situation too soon. The loss is only temporary.
Speaker 3: It's just a season. You're going to get it all back.
Speaker 5: Your health is coming back, your confidence is coming back,
Speaker 5: your child is coming back, your strength is coming back.
Speaker 3: Nothing will be missing.
Speaker 5: Someone may have left you, walked out of a relationship.
Speaker 5: You think you'll always be alone. The right person is
Speaker 5: going to find you someone better. Than you've imagined. You
Speaker 5: tried to accomplish your dream. The doors didn't open. God's
Speaker 5: going to open a better door. He didn't give you
Speaker 5: the dream and not have a way to bring it
Speaker 5: to pass. Maybe you didn't have a good childhood. Nobody
Speaker 5: was there to encourage you. You feel short changed.
Speaker 3: Don't worry.
Speaker 5: God saw what happened. He's going to make up for
Speaker 5: who did you wrong. He's going to pay you back
Speaker 5: for what you didn't get. Instead of living discouraged, thinking
Speaker 5: you've seen your best days, turn it around.
Speaker 3: Father.
Speaker 5: Thank you that nothing will be missing in my life,
Speaker 5: the joy, the peace, the health, the.
Speaker 3: Strength, the family, the dreams.
Speaker 5: Lord, thank you that you are restoring everything that I've lost. See,
Speaker 5: instead of having a poor home mentality, look what I've
Speaker 5: been through, have a nothing missing mentality. I'm gonna get
Speaker 5: it all back.
Speaker 3: This is what happened with job. He was a good man,
Speaker 3: had a good.
Speaker 5: Family, successful business. One thing after another came against him.
Speaker 5: Lost his health, lost his business, lost his children.
Speaker 3: He was so discouraged.
Speaker 5: The scripture says he sat down among the ashes. He thought,
Speaker 5: I'll never recover from this. It's all downhill from here.
Speaker 5: His wife even said Job, just curse God and die
Speaker 5: couraging wife. When he was just when he was about
Speaker 5: to give up, a friend came along set in Job
Speaker 5: Chapter five.
Speaker 3: Job, if you'll look to God, he will rescue you.
Speaker 3: He will save you from death.
Speaker 5: You will not be taken before your time. When you
Speaker 5: look in your pastures, nothing will be missing.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 5: He's just lost all of his flocks, lost his health,
Speaker 5: his family, It's all gone. God showed up and said, Job,
Speaker 5: stay in faith. This loss is temporary. When I get through,
Speaker 5: nothing will be missing. I can see Job stand up
Speaker 5: out of the ashes, dust, his clothes off. He looked
Speaker 5: up to the heavens and said, I know my redeemer
Speaker 5: lives in.
Speaker 3: The midst of all the trouble, all the heartache.
Speaker 5: When he could have been complaining bitter, he started declaring
Speaker 5: that God was on the throne, that what he started
Speaker 5: he would finish. There was a shift in his thinking
Speaker 5: from this lost is permanent. I've seen my best days
Speaker 5: to restoration is coming, health is coming, Victory is coming.
Speaker 5: I can hear him saying, Father, it doesn't look good.
Speaker 5: The odds are against me. But I believe what you
Speaker 5: promised that nothing will be missing in my life. I
Speaker 5: don't have joy now, but thank you that joy is coming.
Speaker 5: I don't feel well, but thank you that health is coming.
Speaker 5: My flocks are all gone, but thank you that abundance
Speaker 5: is on the way. When you go through setbacks, you
Speaker 5: can complain talk about what you've lost, or you can
Speaker 5: get in agreement with God and talk about restoration. Father,
Speaker 5: thank you that what was meant for my harm your
Speaker 5: turning to my advantage. You said that no weapon formed
Speaker 5: against me will ever prosper. Thank you that I will
Speaker 5: recover everything that I've lost. This is what God did
Speaker 5: for Job. He not only restored what he'd lost, but
Speaker 5: God gave him twice what he had before. He was
Speaker 5: more blessed after the challenge than he was before. God
Speaker 5: makes the enemy pay for bringing the difficulty. Verse sixteen
Speaker 5: says Job went on to live another one hundred and
Speaker 5: forty years after the challenge and saw his children and grandchildren.
Speaker 5: He died an old man who had lived a long,
Speaker 5: good life. He didn't die bitter, lonely, discouraged. Just like
Speaker 5: God promised, nothing was missing. He had his health, his family,
Speaker 5: his business, peace, abundance.
Speaker 3: He didn't look like what he had been through.
Speaker 5: If you would have told him in the middle of
Speaker 5: the difficulty, when he had boils all over his body,
Speaker 5: sitting in the ashes, that one day he was going
Speaker 5: to be happy, healthy, living an abundant life.
Speaker 3: He would have thought, how could that be possible. That's
Speaker 3: the way our God is.
Speaker 5: Don't judge the rest of your life by what's come
Speaker 5: against you.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 5: God is saying to you what he said to Job.
Speaker 5: Nothing is going to be missing. You may be missing joy,
Speaker 5: missing children, missing health. Life has thrown you a curve.
Speaker 5: You don't see how it could ever work out. God
Speaker 5: has it already figured out. Like Job, You're not going
Speaker 5: to look like what you've been through. When God gets finished,
Speaker 5: nobody will be able to tell you went through the cancer,
Speaker 5: through the breakup, through the pandemic, through the loss.
Speaker 3: You're going to come out stronger.
Speaker 5: Healthier, more fulfilled, the good family, blessed, prosper us.
Speaker 3: Get that down in your spirit.
Speaker 5: Yes, something may be wrong now, but God is not finished.
Speaker 3: Your time is coming.
Speaker 5: The scripture says God set an end to Job's difficulty.
Speaker 3: Just like there was a start to that problem.
Speaker 5: There was an end to that problem, an end to
Speaker 5: the sickness, and endto the addiction and endo.
Speaker 3: The limitations.
Speaker 5: When God says it's time to restore, all the forces
Speaker 5: of darkness cannot stop him. Whatever you've lost, whatever looks permanent,
Speaker 5: whatever you think has limited your life, There's about to
Speaker 5: be a shift. God is going to suddenly thrust you
Speaker 5: into healing, bring the right people, turn the business around,
Speaker 5: give you joy, peace, victory like you've never seen.
Speaker 3: I talked to a young lady.
Speaker 5: She and her husband had been trying to have a
Speaker 5: baby for many years with no success. Her dream from
Speaker 5: the time she was a little girl was to have
Speaker 5: a child. Her mother had a hard time conceiving, and
Speaker 5: her grandmother it ran in the family. After taking all
Speaker 5: the fertility treatments, doing everything medically speaking that she could,
Speaker 5: the doctor told her that it wasn't going to be possible.
Speaker 3: There was nothing more they could do. For months, she
Speaker 3: would get up in the morning weeping so heartbroken.
Speaker 5: One day she was driving to work and she lit
Speaker 5: on our serious exem channel. I was talking about how
Speaker 5: God has the final saying, how he can do what
Speaker 5: medicine can't do. She said, something came alive on the inside.
Speaker 5: She wasn't raised in church. She believed in God, but
Speaker 5: she'd never heard anything like this, she started reminding God
Speaker 5: what he promised, that children are a gift from the Lord.
Speaker 5: All through the day, instead of getting discouraged, she would
Speaker 5: thank God that her baby was on the way. When
Speaker 5: she was tempted to get down, she would go out
Speaker 5: in the car and listen to another message to help
Speaker 5: her faith stay built up. Two weeks ago she called weeping.
Speaker 5: This time they weren't tears of sadness. They were tears
Speaker 5: of joy.
Speaker 3: She had just.
Speaker 5: Found out she was ten weeks pregnant, not with one baby,
Speaker 5: but with twins.
Speaker 3: The doctor said, I don't know how it happened. He
Speaker 3: had no explanation.
Speaker 5: That's what God promised, that nothing is going to be
Speaker 5: missing in your life.
Speaker 3: Thoughts will tell you they were going to happen.
Speaker 5: Man, you'll always be barren, always be lonely, always be addicted,
Speaker 5: always struggle. Don't believe those lies. God sees what you've lost.
Speaker 5: He knows what wasn't fair, what's holding you back. It's
Speaker 5: not permanent. The baby is coming, the freedom is coming,
Speaker 5: the dream is coming, the abundance is coming. In the scripture,
Speaker 5: David was twenty nine years old. He was living in
Speaker 5: the city of Ziglag with six hundred of his men.
Speaker 5: He'd worked in the palace, but had to leave because
Speaker 5: King Saul was jealous and trying to kill him. The
Speaker 5: prophet Samuel had anointed him to be the next king
Speaker 5: of Israel when he was seventeen. He wasn't in Jerusalem,
Speaker 5: where it was prophesied he would lead the nation. He
Speaker 5: wasn't in Bethlehem, where he was raised. Ziglag was a
Speaker 5: temporary place. He was in between prophecy and destiny. It
Speaker 5: wasn't where he was from, and it wasn't where he
Speaker 5: was going. It was a place of waiting. We all
Speaker 5: encounter some ziglags. We know what God promised, we know
Speaker 5: the dream He's placed in our heart, but we're not
Speaker 5: seeing it happen. No doors are opening, We're not able
Speaker 5: to conceive. Our health isn't improving. When you're in ziglag,
Speaker 5: in between places.
Speaker 3: It's very important that.
Speaker 5: You keep being faithful, keep doing the right thing, keep
Speaker 5: reminding God of his promises.
Speaker 3: Ziglag is a test.
Speaker 5: Are you going to get discouraged, think that you're stuck,
Speaker 5: give up on your dreams?
Speaker 3: No, stay in faith.
Speaker 5: Ziglag is only temporary. David and his men had been
Speaker 5: out on a three day journey to fight with the Philistines.
Speaker 5: They were returning home when they noticed smoke billowing in
Speaker 5: the distance.
Speaker 3: It was in the direction of their city.
Speaker 5: I can imagine they started walking faster, wondering what was
Speaker 5: going on. When they got closer, their worst fears came true.
Speaker 5: The Amalekites, these bandits had come in and raided the city.
Speaker 5: They captured all their wives and children. They took all
Speaker 5: their possessions, burned down their homes. Here David had been
Speaker 5: out doing God's will, protecting the people, and his own
Speaker 5: city was destroyed. His wife and children had been kidnapped.
Speaker 5: The scripture says David and his men wept until they
Speaker 5: could not weep anymore. Now, David was a warrior. He'd
Speaker 5: gone through great challenges. He had defeated Goliath.
Speaker 3: We stood all kinds of trouble. But this blow knocked
Speaker 3: the wind out of him. He didn't see it coming.
Speaker 5: On the way to our destiny, there will be some ziglags.
Speaker 5: We're doing the right thing, but the wrong thing happens.
Speaker 5: We're being our best, but business goes down. We lose
Speaker 5: a loved one. We're fighting anxiety, or maybe dealing with
Speaker 5: a child that's off course. David's men were so upset,
Speaker 5: so distraught, they talked about stoning David. Just when he
Speaker 5: thought it couldn't get any worse, his.
Speaker 3: Own men turned on him. David was at a very
Speaker 3: pivotal moment.
Speaker 5: He could have gotten bitter blame God given up on
Speaker 5: his dream. This could be the last time we ever
Speaker 5: read about David. He could have faded off into the sunset,
Speaker 5: missed his destiny. But David made a decision that we
Speaker 5: all have to make when we encounter a zig lag.
Speaker 5: The scripture says he encouraged himself in the Lord his God,
Speaker 5: sitting in the ashes, looking at home, still smoldering, men
Speaker 5: all around him, angry, ready to take him out. Instead
Speaker 5: of complaining, instead of being depressed, he started reminding himself
Speaker 5: that God was still on the throne. God, what you've
Speaker 5: spoken over my life is still going.
Speaker 3: To come to pass.
Speaker 5: I believe that you're a God of restoration, that this
Speaker 5: is not come My story ends. David dried his tears,
Speaker 5: God up out of the ashes and went.
Speaker 3: Alone to pray.
Speaker 5: He asked God if he should go after the Amalekites.
Speaker 5: God said, yes, go after them, for you will surely
Speaker 5: recover everything that was stolen. God is saying that to you.
Speaker 5: You may have lost some things. Don't sit around in
Speaker 5: self pity. It's time to dry your tears and go
Speaker 5: after what belongs to you.
Speaker 3: You will surely recover your health. You will surely recover
Speaker 3: your children. You will surely recover your peace. You will
Speaker 3: surely recover that dream.
Speaker 5: God is a surely god. He's not hoping it'll work out.
Speaker 5: He controls the universe. He's breathing in your direction. Right now,
Speaker 5: you and God are a majority. Him being for you
Speaker 5: is more than the world being against you. David set
Speaker 5: out toward the Amalekites. When he arrived, they were having
Speaker 5: a big party, dancing, drinking, celebrating the victory. Sometimes the
Speaker 5: enemy celebrates too soon. He thinks you're done, you've given up,
Speaker 5: you've settled. What he doesn't realize is you know what
Speaker 5: God promised that if you pursue, if you believe, get
Speaker 5: your hopes up, you will recover all.
Speaker 3: Nothing will be missing. When you pursue. God starts fighting
Speaker 3: for you.
Speaker 5: Angels go to work, forces of darkness are broken, the
Speaker 5: wrong people are moved out of the way. You'll see favor, healing, victory.
Speaker 5: David and his men attacked the Amalekites. They not only
Speaker 5: defeated them, but they got back everything that was stolen.
Speaker 3: They got their wives and children back. The scripture says nothing.
Speaker 5: Was missing small or great son or daughter, or anything
Speaker 5: else that had been taken.
Speaker 3: David got everything back.
Speaker 5: Now you may be in ziglag, you've lost some It
Speaker 5: wasn't fair. If you'll get your passion back, start believing again.
Speaker 3: Like with David, You're going to get it all back.
Speaker 3: Nothing is going to be missing.
Speaker 5: The healing is coming back, the business, the children, the joy,
Speaker 5: it's coming back. God is not going to leave you
Speaker 5: at a deficit. He's keeping the records. He knows what
Speaker 5: belongs to you. David not only got all of his
Speaker 5: possessions back, but his men gathered up all that belonged
Speaker 5: to the Amalekites.
Speaker 3: They came out with more than they had before.
Speaker 5: What's interesting is three days later, King Saul was killed
Speaker 5: in a battle, David was made king. This was thirteen
Speaker 5: years after Samuel had anointed him. It's significant that after
Speaker 5: his greatest challenge, David was only seventy two hours away
Speaker 5: from taking the throne. When you're in ziglag, stay encouraged.
Speaker 5: You don't know what God is up to if you're
Speaker 5: not only going to get it all back, but God
Speaker 5: is about to promote you. Ziglag is a sign that
Speaker 5: a new level of your destiny is on the way,
Speaker 5: that you're about to see what God promised. That you're
Speaker 5: going to come out of the interim place, that place
Speaker 5: of waiting, into a place of destiny.
Speaker 3: But we all have to go.
Speaker 5: Through a few ziglags on the way to our purpose,
Speaker 5: Difficulties that come out of nowhere, things we don't understand,
Speaker 5: loss of a loved one, fighting depression, people trying to
Speaker 5: discredit us. You have to remind yourself that ziglag is
Speaker 5: only temporary.
Speaker 3: Voices will whisper.
Speaker 5: You'll never get out of this, never have that baby,
Speaker 5: never meet the right person, Just live among these ashes.
Speaker 5: The reason those lies are coming is the enemy doesn't
Speaker 5: want you to rise up.
Speaker 3: And leave ziglag. He doesn't want you.
Speaker 5: To have a recover all mentality. He wants you to
Speaker 5: have a poor o me mentality to say no thanks.
Speaker 5: Ziglag is not my home. This is not how my
Speaker 5: story ends. I know what God promised. Nothing will be missing,
Speaker 5: Lord or small. There was a lady that was diagnosed
Speaker 5: with stage four cancer didn't look good. She had spent
Speaker 5: most of her childhood in the hospital. She had a
Speaker 5: sickle cell gene that had caused her many problems years later.
Speaker 5: The thought of having to go back to the hospital
Speaker 5: deal with this illness take.
Speaker 3: The treatment was very discouraging.
Speaker 5: She sunk into deep depression, didn't want to leave the house,
Speaker 5: didn't want to get out of bed. On Sunday, her
Speaker 5: husband would turn our program on, she would weep the
Speaker 5: whole time I was speaking. She said, it was just
Speaker 5: like you were talking to me. She started believing that
Speaker 5: God was bigger than the cancer, that her life was
Speaker 5: not over.
Speaker 3: For two years.
Speaker 5: As she took the treatment, had the surgery, she felt
Speaker 5: a strength that she had never felt. Today, she's not
Speaker 5: only cancer free, she not only defied the odds, but
Speaker 5: she doesn't have the sickle cell gene anymore.
Speaker 3: She told how she.
Speaker 5: Used to be so quiet, so reserved, but now she's
Speaker 5: written a book. She speaks at different events, telling how
Speaker 5: God helped her overcome. She says, when people see me,
Speaker 5: they always comment on.
Speaker 3: How I don't look like what I've been through.
Speaker 5: She's happier and more fulfilled than she's ever been. What
Speaker 5: am I saying Ziglag is not your home. It's a
Speaker 5: temporary place. When you're in Ziglag, you have to remind
Speaker 5: yourself what God promised that you're going to recover all
Speaker 5: that nothing is going.
Speaker 3: To be missing.
Speaker 5: It may be gone now, but God is not finished.
Speaker 5: Instead of dwelling on what you lost, what didn't work out,
Speaker 5: those negative reports, you need to switch over to this
Speaker 5: nothing missing mentality. You may not see how it can happen.
Speaker 5: God has ways we've never thought of. He's not limited
Speaker 5: by what limits us. Like with this lady, He's going
Speaker 5: to do something unusual, uncommon, out of the ordinary, not
Speaker 5: just restore, but bring you.
Speaker 3: Out better than you were before. I believe it's going
Speaker 3: to happen sooner than you think. There's about to be
Speaker 3: a shift, a suddenly out of nowhere.
Speaker 5: You're on the verge of a breakthrough, a healing.
Speaker 3: A promotion.
Speaker 5: You're going to be able to say, like this lady,
Speaker 5: nothing is missing in my life. A few years ago,
Speaker 5: we had a night of hope in Las Vegas and
Speaker 5: I was able to visit with a gentleman named Steve Wynn.
Speaker 5: He's built many of the large hotels. They are very
Speaker 5: successful and influential. He's an avid art collector, has masterpieces
Speaker 5: from all over the world. As he was showing us
Speaker 5: some of the paintings in his home, he told us
Speaker 5: about a famous Picasso painting that he purchased in two
Speaker 5: thousand and one. At that time, it was valued at
Speaker 5: sixty minillion dollars.
Speaker 3: It's one of his favorite paintings.
Speaker 5: He had a friend that really loved it as well,
Speaker 5: and mister Wynn agreed to sell it to this friend.
Speaker 5: The price was one hundred and thirty nine million dollars.
Speaker 5: The night before the cell, he was showing the painting
Speaker 5: to some friends.
Speaker 3: He has an eye disease that affects his peripheral vision.
Speaker 3: As he was pointing to the painting, he didn't.
Speaker 5: Realize he was so close. He poked a hole in
Speaker 5: it with his elbow. They could all hear the canvas ripping.
Speaker 5: He turned around and saw a two inch tear that.
Speaker 3: Was his ziglag. The cell was off. The other man
Speaker 3: didn't want it.
Speaker 5: The painting was now valued at eighty five million dollars.
Speaker 5: That one tear resulted in a fifty four million dollar loss.
Speaker 3: God give us problems like that.
Speaker 5: Mister Wynn found he found what he called an art surgeon,
Speaker 5: someone that would sow the individual fibers back together. It
Speaker 5: took two months and you couldn't tell the painting had
Speaker 5: ever been torn. Six years later he sold the painting
Speaker 5: to the same man for one hundred and fifty five
Speaker 5: million dollars, sixteen million more than before the terror. The
Speaker 5: painting was worth more after it had been torn. When
Speaker 5: we've been through disappointments, bad breaks, sometimes it feels like
Speaker 5: we've been torn. We lost our value, made mistakes, should
Speaker 5: have been more focused. What I love about God is
Speaker 5: when he puts you back together like this painting, you.
Speaker 3: Come out more valuable.
Speaker 5: He knows how to restore in such a way. Nobody
Speaker 5: can tell what you've been through. You're not going to
Speaker 5: live with a terror, so to speak. What didn't work
Speaker 5: out is not going to affect the rest.
Speaker 3: Of your life.
Speaker 5: That sickness, the divorce, the loss, the bankruptcy doesn't lessen
Speaker 5: your value. Quld believe in those lies that you've been
Speaker 5: through too much. Don't expect anything good. Don't believe in
Speaker 5: your dream.
Speaker 3: You've been torn, someone did you wrong, You've had setbacks.
Speaker 3: Just stay in ziglag. That is not your destiny.
Speaker 5: When God gets finished restoring nothing will be missing. The
Speaker 5: beauty of our God is even when we make mistakes,
Speaker 5: we bring the trouble on ourselves. God doesn't say too bad,
Speaker 5: I would restore if you'd perform better. I would help
Speaker 5: you if you were more committed.
Speaker 3: God is full of mercy.
Speaker 5: When we get off course, the moment we turn back
Speaker 5: to him, he comes running toward us, not in judgment,
Speaker 5: but in mercy. Remember when the prodigal son left home,
Speaker 5: wasted all of his money partying, making poor decisions. He
Speaker 5: ended up working in a hog pen feeding the hogs.
Speaker 5: He got so desperate he had to eat the hog
Speaker 5: food to survive.
Speaker 3: It was his own fault.
Speaker 5: He should have listened to his father, made better decisions.
Speaker 5: Now he was dirty, smelly hair, not combed, he decided
Speaker 5: to go back home. The father saw him a long
Speaker 5: way off and came running toward him. He didn't berat
Speaker 5: his son. He didn't tell him you should have known better.
Speaker 5: The father never brought up his past. One of the
Speaker 5: first things he said was go get the best robe
Speaker 5: and put.
Speaker 3: It on my son. Not any robe.
Speaker 5: Bring the best robe, Get some new shoes for him
Speaker 5: to wear. Put the family ring on his finger. Like
Speaker 5: that painting This young man was torn. He thought his
Speaker 5: value had gone down. He said, Dad, I don't deserve
Speaker 5: to be your son. Just let me live out in
Speaker 5: the barn work as one of your staff. But the
Speaker 5: father who represents God said, in effect, that terror is
Speaker 5: nothing for me. When I restore you, nobody will know
Speaker 5: what you've been through. A few hours later, after the
Speaker 5: young man had showered, put on the best robe, new shoes,
Speaker 5: no one would have ever known that he had been torn.
Speaker 5: This parable is showing us that when God restores, you're
Speaker 5: not going to come out almost as.
Speaker 3: Good, grateful that at least you survived.
Speaker 5: You're going to come out with nothing missing, fully restored,
Speaker 5: full of joy, gifts, coming out healthy, blessed, prosper us.
Speaker 5: Get rid of those lies. Say you'll always be a disadvantage.
Speaker 3: Look at the mistakes you've made.
Speaker 5: That's the enemy trying to keep you from putting on
Speaker 5: the best road. He'd love for you to go through
Speaker 5: life feeling condemned, unworthy. Don't take that bait. There's a
Speaker 5: best road waiting for you. There's a ring of authority
Speaker 5: with your name on it. Or maybe someone else puts
Speaker 5: you at a disadvantage. They caused you to tear. It
Speaker 5: wasn't even your fault. They didn't lessen your value.
Speaker 3: You know why. God is the master surgeon. He knows
Speaker 3: how to restore where no one can tell.
Speaker 5: There's a famous poem that talks about a bird with
Speaker 5: a broken wing, how even though it's created to fly
Speaker 5: and created to soword, because its wing is injured, it
Speaker 5: will never get back off the ground. It's very sad,
Speaker 5: depressing thought. Someone took the poem and put a new
Speaker 5: ending on it. They talked about how when God takes
Speaker 5: the bird, he begins to heal, restore, breathe new life
Speaker 5: into it. It ends by saying the bird with the
Speaker 5: broken wing will fly twice as high Again. What's come
Speaker 5: against you has not limited your future.
Speaker 3: You're not tainted. When God restores, You're going to fly
Speaker 3: twice as high. You're going to go further. The enemy
Speaker 3: minute for harm, but God is turning it to your advantage.
Speaker 5: Now get rid of a defeated mindset and switch over
Speaker 5: to this nothing missing mentality. God sees everything you've lost.
Speaker 5: He hasn't forgotten about you. You may be in ziglag.
Speaker 5: Things aren't fair.
Speaker 3: God is saying to you what he said to David.
Speaker 5: You will surely recover everything that was stolen.
Speaker 3: Ziglag is not permanent.
Speaker 5: That's a sign you're about to see restoration that God's
Speaker 5: about to show.
Speaker 3: Out in your life.
Speaker 5: I believe and declare nothing is going to be missing
Speaker 5: for you, large or small. Your health is coming back,
Speaker 5: your family is coming back, dreams are coming back, confidence, breakthroughs, abundance,
Speaker 5: the fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name, if you
Speaker 5: receive it, can you say.
Speaker 3: Him in today?
Speaker 5: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the.
Speaker 3: Lord of your life. Would you pray with me?
Speaker 5: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins, Come
Speaker 5: into my heart.
Speaker 3: I make you my Lord in Savior.
Speaker 5: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got
Speaker 5: born again. Love to send you some free information on
