I Will Restore To You The Years!

Are there days, months and years you wish you can retrieve back? The good news is that it is possible to restore those years. It may not be as you think but if you believe the lost time can be restored. This post tells you that God can restore to you the lost years.

So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you – Joel 2:25 (NKJV).

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths – Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)

The enemy may have fought you sometime back with challenges that left you with lost days, months or years, don’t be dismayed because you can get them back. Those who laughed at you will come and rejoice with you.

God says what He means and means what He says. He has no idle word. Therefore when He says He will restore the years eaten up believe Him for it shall be so. He only needs you to believe Him and His words and it shall be so. Just don’t lean on your own understanding or reasoning on how it will happen and God will direct your path to restoration.
