Restoration NOW! | Joseph Davis

I am honored.

I'm excited.

I'm pumped.

I'm stoked.

If I do a few cartwheels up here on the platform, y'all excuse me.

I'm just beside myself.

I just believe that what I have to share with you tonight is a right-now word.

And this has been marinating and stirring in my spirit for a couple of weeks.

And I'm honored to be able to share it.

And so if you will turn with me in your Bibles to 2 Kings chapter 4, we're going to start there.

2 Kings 4 · chapter mention

And my message titled tonight, if you're taking notes, is called Restoration Now.

Capital N, Capital O, Capital W.

Exclamation.

Restoration now.

How many of you are believing God for restoration in some area of your life, in some part of your life?

You've seen the faithfulness of God, but there's some things that you are still believing God to restore.

You're believing God to make right.

You're believing God to turn it around.

You are expecting God to do something.

Amen.

And so tonight we're going to come to the understanding of restoration now.

I believe that restoration has already started in the house tonight.

Can I just say that?

Amen.

You can't go and stand in the presence of God and worship God and not expect dad.

How many of you dads, when your kids come sit in your lap and love on you, dad's like, whatever you want, baby?

Right?

Some of you know what I'm talking about?

Well, our fathers like that.

When we go love on him and spend time in his presence, whatever you want.

Whatever you need.

And so tonight, as we as we dive into the story of the Shumanite woman over in 2 Kings in chapter 4, we're going to look at restoration that took place in her life, and that restoration was now.

Turn to your neighbor and say, Restoration now.

Right now.

Alright, so in 2 Kings chapter 4, starting at verse 8, the story of the Shumanite woman, you all know the story.

2 Kings 4 · chapter mention

But we're going to look at it and then we're going to go back and we're going to dissect it.

And I want to point out a few things.

So in verse 8 of chapter 4, it starts with this way.

It says, Now it happened one day that Elisha went to Shuman, where there was a notable woman.

Notice that this woman was notable.

In other words, she was a woman of affluence and influence.

And she persuaded him to eat some food.

So it was as often as he passed by, he would turn in there to eat some food.

And she said to her husband, Look now, I know that this is a holy man of God who passes by us regularly.

Please let us make a small upper room on the wall, and let us put a bed a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand on it.

So whenever he comes to us, he can turn in there.

Now, first of all, I want to know that God, I want you to know that God rewards your faithfulness.

Every gift, every act of kindness that you have made, God sees it, he knows it, and he's going to reward it.

Now we don't do it to get it, we do it because we get to do it, right?

Right?

And so it happened one day that he came there and he turned into the upper room and laid down there.

Then he said to Gehazi, his servant, Call this Shumanite woman.

When he called her, she stood before him and he said, and he said to him, Say now to her, look, you have been concerned for us with all this care.

What can I do for you?

Do you want me to speak on your behalf to the king or to the commander of the army?

She answered, I dwell among my own people.

In other words, I'm good.

Thank you, but I'm good.

So he said, What then is it to be done for her?

And Gehazi answered, actually, she has no son, and her husband is old.

Now he didn't have to put her business in the street like that.

He put her on blast.

She ain't got no son.

And the man she married to, he's old.

So, in other words, that's probably not gonna happen.

So he called her, and when he called her, he stood, she stood in the doorway, and he said, Then he said, that's Elijah, the man of God, the prophet.

Then he said, About this time next year, you shall embrace a son.

In other words, here's the word of the Lord for you.

In about this time next year, you shall embrace a son.

In other words, there's a new thing coming.

Now, for those of you that know me, you know I tend to be whatever the word is for the year.

That's how the Lord just, I get to be the cheerleader for that prophetic word.

And so at the beginning of the year, Pastor brought us a word from the Lord and say that 2026 is the year of new things.

Now, I want to make sure that you understand he said new things with an S, not new thing.

So if you got one, go back and get the rest of it.

Can I get an amen?

All right.

And so the Shumanite woman received the word of the Lord.

The word was about this time next year you shall embrace the son.

Now, this woman, now again, she she she kind of heard the word, but she responded the wrong way.

First of all, she said, No, my Lord.

In Lord, she went such, not let me give you the sister version of that.

Listen, don't be playing with me.

You obviously don't understand my situation.

Did you not hear your man?

He said, He's old, and I can't have any children.

Hadn't had any.

So don't mess with me.

Now she didn't snap on him, but she said, Don't tease me like that.

Don't joke with me like that.

Don't lie to me, your maidservant.

But the woman conceived, verse 17, and bore a son when the appointed time had come of which Elijah had told her.

In other words, the new thing showed up.

New thing, word received, promise of the word, delivered.

Now I just want to remind you right there that God is not a man that he should lie, nor the son of man that he should repent.

That's what Numbers 23, 19 says.

Has he not said it?

Shall he not make it good?

Has he not spoken it?

Shall he not bring it to pass?

2026, the year of new things.

That was the word of the Lord, right?

And so she received her new thing.

Verse 18 says, And the child grew.

Now it happened one day that when he went out to his father, to the reapers, and he said to his father, My head, my head.

So we see immediately that the new thing got attacked.

Satan wants to attack your new thing.

He wants to steal your new thing.

He doesn't want you to receive what's been promised, and if you have received it, he don't want you to keep it.

Anybody else know the devil fights dirty?

There's a reason in John 10 10 when Jesus says, For the thief comes but not to steal, but to kill and to destroy.

Now those are Jesus' words.

Those are pretty matter-of-fact, pretty exact words.

The thief, first of all, he identifies him as one a thief.

Then he identifies him as a murderer.

He comes but not but to kill.

Then he identifies him as a thief to steal.

And if that's not bad enough, then he says, He's a destroyer.

To steal, to kill, and to destroy.

But he said, Don't get me mixed up with him.

But I've come.

I know what he came to do, but let me talk to you about what I came to do.

I've come that you might have.

Now, did you know that my part is dependent upon you?

You might have.

I'm gonna do some things, I've done some things, I did some things on the cross for you, but you've got a part to play in receiving it.

I've come that you might have life and have it more abundantly.

So the son says, My head, my hand, the father, being the typical father, says, Carry him to his mother.

So when he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon and then died.

So now we see the new thing is now a dead thing.

So let me stop right here and just expose a progression in the plan of the enemy.

John 10 10 calls him a thief.

But did you know that the thief has a plan of attack?

His plan of attack goes like this: it starts with intimidation and aggravation.

He wants to intimidate, to harass.

The plan of intimidation and aggravation ultimately is to bring about devastation.

We see that the new thing is now a dead thing.

The very thing that she had received and had enjoyed the promise, now all of a sudden the devil has come with intimidation and aggravation.

Your son is dead.

Now you can imagine that this woman is thinking, wait a minute, this was a promise from God.

How can it this promise now be nonexistent?

What happened?

The reason he brings the devastation is to get you to focus on the problem, to get you to focus on the set of circumstances or whatever it is that's that's got you where you are to keep you there, to keep your attention.

So intimidation and aggravation to bring about devastation, to block the revelation.

In other words, to keep you from focusing on and knowing who you are.

Listen, anytime you are dealing with a situation, where do you go?

Do you go to Facebook?

Do you go to social media?

Do you go to Insta?

You don't go to your phone, you go to your throne.

You go to the Word.

So if devastation is busy doing its job, then there will be no opportunity for revelation.

Why?

Because you're too busy dealing with the devastation.

And then if the devastation is successful, first of all, he doesn't want you, he doesn't want you to have any kind of revelation, he doesn't want you to know anything, and he certainly doesn't want you to say anything.

I'm talking about the plan of the devil.

Intimidation, aggravation, devast devastation, to block the revelation, to keep you quiet and making your declaration.

Because you can't get revelation and not say something, right?

Why?

Because faith has a voice.

And so there has to be a declaration.

And all of that is done why he wants to be wants to keep the devastation working to block the revelation, because the revelation fuels your declaration, and the declaration with faith gives about or causes the restoration.

So now his plan is exposed.

So let's pick up on the Shumanite woman.

So she took her son, verse 21, went up.

She went up with him and laid him on the bed of the man of God, shut the door upon him, and went out.

Now, first of all, as I read that, something jumped out at me.

She took her son to the very room that she built for the man of God.

In other words, she took him to the place where the anointing was.

When you are walking through something, you need to make sure that you are plugged into wherever the anointing is.

It matters where you go to church.

It matters where you fellowship.

Verse 22, then she called her husband and said, Please send me one of the young men and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and come back.

So he said, Now this is the same husband that said, Now send him, take him in there and take him in there to his mama.

Take him to his mama.

Now he's saying, Why are you going to him today?

It's neither the new moon nor the Sabbath.

And she said, underlining, she said.

She said, What?

It is well.

Your response to and during the attack determines the outcome.

Your confession matters.

Her faith said it's not as bad as it looks.

Notice she didn't even bother to tell the husband he dead.

The new thing is now a dead thing.

She didn't bother to tell her husband that.

She said it is well.

What is your faith saying?

Is your response a confession or is your response a concession?

Uh-oh.

When you are dealing with a situation, is your response to that situation a confession?

In other words, are you confessing the word of God?

Are you can giving in to the moment?

Now we're human, we have emotions.

We can get caught off God.

Oftentimes attacks are drive-bys.

Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Come on.

It's a drive-by.

You wasn't expecting that, you wasn't looking for it, you didn't need it, you didn't want it, but here it is.

Here we are.

Your response in that situation will determine the outcome.

Her response was, it is well.

It is well.

Verse 24.

Then she saddled the donkey and said to her servant, Drive and go forward and do not slacken the pace for me unless I tell you to.

And so she departed and went to the man of God at Mount Corinth.

Now I want to pause right here and I want to make another observation.

Notice she got the donkey, got the driver, got in the Uber, and said, We need to get there quick, fast, and in a hurry.

Don't even bother to slow down.

Don't stop for any traffic lights.

Do not stop.

Go.

Now, when you are dealing with a situation, you need to know when to mourn and you need to know when to move.

This was not a time to mourn.

This was a promise that she'd received from God.

And to mourn would have not been appropriate.

Why?

Because she was not going to give it.

She'd already decided the outcome with her response.

What was her response?

It is well.

And so there's a lesson to learn there.

When you are believing God for something and it looks like that the blessing is going this way when it's supposed to be going that way, you've got to respond the right way.

Her response was, it is well.

And so you need to know when to mourn as opposed to when to move.

Here's another little nugget.

Don't be slow to move.

Notice she didn't let any turret saddle under her feet.

The son died, she took him upstairs, put him in the room, laid him on the bed of the prophet, called for an Uber, got on the Uber, the donkey, and told the driver, let's get there and get there in a hurry.

In other words, let's get there before Quick can get ready.

Now, some of you'll get that on the way home.

Before Quick can get ready.

This was an urgent situation.

So it was.

Verse 25, so as she departed and went to the man of God at Mount Car Mount Carmel, so it was when the man of God saw her afar off that he said to his servant Gehaziah, look the Shumanite woman, please run now to meet her and say to her, Is it well with you?

Is it well with your husband?

Is it well with your child?

And she answered again, It is well.

Now she could have gotten to the man of God and just totally lost it, but she maintained the confession.

Look, just because you get around a few folks that may be a little bit stronger than you in faith or get around your crazy faith friends, you can't change, you can't stop your confession.

You gotta stay consistent.

She answered it as well.

A consistent declaration is not optional.

Under no circumstance, now let me get this because this is kind of a tongue twister.

Under no circumstance are you to allow the circumstance to change your confession.

Under no circumstance are you to allow the circumstance to change your confession.

Now when she came to the man of God at the hill, she caught him by the feet, but Gehaziah came near to push her away.

But Elijah said, the man of God, said, Let her alone, for her soul is in deep distress, and the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me.

Now, as I read that scripture, that part about her grabbing him by the feet, she caught him by the feet.

And I began to look at that for a little bit.

Now, there's something there, the clinging to the feet or that posture represents three things that I want to point out.

First of all, when the woman reaches Elijah at Mount Carmel, she catches hold of his feet, and that act demonstrates three things.

The first one is profound humility.

When you're in a situation, be humble.

Go before the Lord with all humility, not defeat, not there, and there's a difference.

Meekness is not weakness.

But she was humble.

She was in humility.

The second thing was this her being there and grabbing him by the feet said, This is an emotional anguish.

This is a time of emotional anguish.

In other words, I'm mad at hell.

Now, she could have grabbed him by the feet and flipped him on his head and said, but no, that wasn't the intent.

And then the last thing was this the absolute persistence in seeking help for her dead child.

She only had one agenda.

The situation as it was had to change because she had a promise.

You have a promise.

The situation as it is, if it's not in agreement and in alignment with the promise, then it's got to change.

And she was willing to do whatever she had to do to get it to change.

First of all, she had a mouth, she had an attitude right, she knew what to do.

She had the right confession, she had a mouth right, but then that was a determination and driving her, it's come hell or high water.

I'm gonna get to keep my new thing.

So when she gets to Elisha, then she goes, sister on him.

She said, Did I ask you?

Did I ask a son of you?

Did I tell you I wanted a son?

I didn't tell you I wanted a son, but you wanted me to have a son.

You wanted me to have a son.

I I I told you, don't play with me.

Is that what she said?

Don't play with me.

Don't don't lie, don't tease me.

Did I say don't deceive me?

What was she doing?

She was contending for what was hers.

She was contending for her promise.

She was contending for her new thing.

Folks, maybe you need to do a little contending for your new thing.

Remind the Lord of his word and promise to you.

I told you I didn't want a son, but you wanted me to have a son.

You said I was gonna have a son.

You said it.

She brought the word to the man of God.

When you go into a session of contending, you are only to take the word.

Take the promise.

Hold it up before.

Present, plead your case.

Plead the blood.

Plead your case.

Don't accept the current situation as the final outcome.

God's promise.

The promise of the new thing.

The promise of the son.

By this time next year, you shall embrace a son.

Now, notice he didn't say you shall embrace a son for a season.

That was a long-term commitment.

The son was to grow up and grow old.

And the son was to bury you, not you bury the son.

2026 is the year of new things.

Verse 29.

Then he said to Gehaziah, get yourself ready and take my staff in your hand and be on your way.

If you meet anyone, do not greet him.

This is serious business.

This is your highest priority.

Do not allow any distractions to hinder you.

You know, the devil is masterful at throwing distractions at you.

Anybody know what I'm talking about?

You're in the middle of something and it's pretty serious, and while you're in the middle of it, he's gonna throw a few things at you, a few distractions.

Recognize those for what they are.

I don't have time for that.

I don't have time for that.

Keep moving.

If you meet anyone, do not greet him.

If anyone greets you, do not answer him, but lay my staff on the face of the child.

And the mother said, I love this mother.

As the Lord lives.

Now remember, I didn't ask you for a son, and now I've come.

All of this way, and I told you it is well.

No, you know it's not well, and you're gonna send the help.

And the mother said, As the Lord lives and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.

No one else can change this situation.

That's an example of continue, Lord.

No one else can turn this situation around but you.

No one else, Lord, can raise that which appears to be dead.

No one else can breathe life into this situation but you, Lord.

I know what the doctors have said, I know what the lawyers have said, I know what the bank has said, but no one else but you, Lord.

Can change this around.

And she made it clear to Elijah, I didn't come for the help, I came for the healer.

If I needed help, I could have doubted 911.

But I'm bypassing all of that and I'm coming straight to the source, the giver of life, the one who gave me the word, the one who said this was going to be.

I'm coming to you.

I didn't come for the help, I came for the healer.

I came for the restore.

In other words, I need restoration now.

Turn to your neighbor and say, Restoration now.

Put that growl in it now.

Right now, so Gehazi went ahead of him anyway.

The help went, laid the staff on the face of the child, but there was neither voice nor hearing.

In other words, there was no signs of life.

Now, first of all, you need to understand this was not a quick trip, first of all, to get to Elisha.

And by the time Gehazi gets back to the child, you know some time has passed.

The Bible doesn't say exactly how much time has passed, but you know some time has passed, and you know, if if in the natural rigor mortis and all of that stuff is set in.

So it's even worse.

It's even worse.

So Gehazi gets there, and he his his take on it is he D E D.

Dead.

There's no response.

I know I misspelled dead.

But he DED, y'all.

He dead.

Now here's something to point out here.

Man is gonna always be limited.

But God is not.

Jeremiah 32, 27 says, Behold, I am the Lord.

This is God talking about Himself.

Hey, I'm the Lord.

I'm the God of all flesh.

Is there anything too hard for me?

I'm the God of the living flesh.

I'm even the God of the dead flesh.

I'm the Lord over cancer.

I'm the Lord over wayward children.

I'm the Lord over spouses and marital situations.

I'm the Lord of financial situations.

Is there anything too hard for me?

When Elijah came to the house, the other child was lying dead on his bed.

He went in, therefore shut the door behind him, two of them, the two of them, and prayed to the Lord, and he went up and lay on the child and put his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and he stretched himself out on the child, and the flesh of the child became warm.

He returned and walked back and forth in the house, and again went up and stretched himself out on him, and then the child sneezed seven times, and the eyes of the child opened.

So now the new thing, which was a dead thing, is now an alive thing.

Restoration is in the house.

But I want to point out something about that passage of scripture.

Notice that Elijah, when he went in, there was a progression.

It didn't just didn't happen immediately, and so that is a nugget for us.

Stay and pray until you get the okay.

When you're believing for restoration, stay and pray until you get the okay.

In other words, pray until the answer comes.

Hang on until you get what you came for.

And so, of course, we know the rest of the story.

He calls the Shemanite, calls Gehaziah, and Gehaziah calls the mama and said, basically, come get your son, feed him, he's hungry, probably needs a bath too, but it's good.

But that wasn't the only account of God bringing restoration into this woman's life.

Now, if you turn over to 2 Kings chapter 8.

2 Kings 8 · chapter mention

Now we get to see another instance where restoration came to this lady.

Now in chapter 8, starting at verse 1, it says, Then Elijah spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, go, you and your household, and stay wherever you can, for the Lord has called for a famine, and furthermore, it will come upon the land for seven years.

And the line, famine, seven years.

That's a long time.

So the woman arose and did according to the saying of the man of God, and she went with her household and dwelt in the land of the Philistines seven years.

Now, I want to make sure that you don't miss some important things here.

Even during the tough time, even during the rough time, God provided.

Even when you are going through it, God is right there bringing you through it.

Don't forget to praise the Lord during the rough, tough times.

Don't forget to praise the Lord during the famine.

It's easy to keep your focus on the problem, it's easy to keep your focus on the famine, but God provided for her.

He provided a way of escape for her.

She didn't have to suffer like everyone else did.

Provision for preservation.

Even in the lean, tough years, God provided.

God kept her, He protected her, He provided for her.

He's done the same thing for you.

Let me just remind you of that.

It doesn't matter what you're going through and how long you've been going through it, God has kept you.

He has protected you.

He is leading you.

And God, well, it doesn't feel like it.

That's all right.

Get out of your feelings and get into praise.

It doesn't sound like it.

Well, get but quit listening to the devil.

He's a keeper.

He's a provider.

He's a protector.

And even during the difficult times, praise the Lord.

It's easier to complain, but it's better to praise.

Did you know that, whether or not did you know that your attitude in a situation like that, you know, just think about it, Joseph, when he went to prison.

Now, Joseph could have could have complained all the time.

The Bible doesn't say he complained, doesn't say he praised either.

But you can either complain and remain or praise and be raised.

When you're going through it, you can either complain and remain in it, or praise and be raised.

It came to pass at the end of the seven years that the woman returned to the land of the Philippines, returned from the land of the Philistines, and she went to make an appeal to the king for her house and for her land.

Then the king talked to Gehaziah, the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, please, all the great things Elisha has done.

Now isn't it interesting that right about the time that the famine is over and she's going home, returning, Gehaziah is there talking to the king, and the king is making an inquiry or wanting to get a report on all of the things that God has done through the man of God.

God has a way of setting you up and making sure you're at the right place at the right time.

Why do you say that?

Because she went to see the king to put it to make a petition for the land.

There Gehaziah is talking to the king, and Gehaziah just happens to be talking about what God had done through Elijah to raise this woman's son from the dead.

In other words, the new thing that was a dead thing is now an alive thing.

And so he's telling the story, and all of a sudden he looks up and there's the Shemanite woman.

Now it happened, verse 5, as he is telling the king how he had restored the dead to life, that there was a woman whose son he had restored, talking about Elisha to life, appealing to the king from a house and from our land.

And Gehaziah said, Oh my lord, oh king, this is the woman and this is her son whom Elijah restored to life.

And when the king asked the woman, she told him, Is this true?

She testifies.

So the king appointed a certain officer for her, saying, Restore all.

Underline, restore all.

Underline that, restore all.

What does all mean?

Does that mean partial?

Does that mean maybe a bit of it?

Does that mean a payment plan?

Restore all right now.

But wait, there's more.

It's slices, dices, and julienne.

No, that's wrong, different commercial.

Restore all that was hers.

If it was yours, it still is yours.

In God's eyes, if it was yours, it still is yours.

Restore all that was hers and all the proceeds of the field from the day that she left in the land until now.

Did you get that?

Restore all that was.

And while you're at it, don't only restore what was hers, but restore what should have been hers.

Somebody missed an opportunity to get them running around the room right there.

See, our daddy keeps great books.

Our daddy keeps excellent books.

There you go.

That brother got to run around the room right there.

Restore all that was hers.

Restore all the proceeds of the field from the day she left.

In other words, give everything back to her.

Listen, your blessing has just compounded interest.

So as I was reading that, the Holy Spirit, through a friend of mine, sent me this scripture and a word.

And so here's the word.

He sent me a scripture in Joel 2.25.

Read it.

It's a word for you.

The word says, so I will restore to you the years.

The years.

Now I don't know how long you've been believing.

I don't know how long you've been expecting.

I don't know how long you've been in the fight.

I don't know how long.

But he said, the years.

Thank you, Father.

I will restore to you the years.

Can I say that again?

I just like that part.

The years.

In other words, what is he saying?

I'm about to make it up to you.

I'm about to make it up to you.

Did you notice when God brought the three Hebrew boys out of the fiery furnace that the scripture says that they didn't even smell like smoke?

That's the kind of delivery that God does.

When he restores all of the things that have been consumed by all of these different locas, and I don't have time to go into the different types of locas, but listen, those locas did a job on the land.

By the time they were done, there was nothing left.

Nothing left.

There was nothing to be had, there was nothing even to be trying to start over.

Nothing.

But he said, and this is the right now word for tonight.

And I will restore.

To you and you and you and you and you all the way on the back row.

And you and you and you and you and you up there in the booth.

I will restore the years.

The years.

By the time I'm done, there won't be anything missing.

There won't be anything lacking.

I'm gonna make you whole in every way.

And in everything.

Now just in case you're wondering, or you're still processing that, Proverbs chapter 6, verse 30 says this.

Proverbs 6:30

Well, 30 says, Do not despise a thief.

Well, okay, depends on what he's stealing.

If he steals to satisfy himself when he's starving, okay, in other words, cut him some slack if he's stealing to feed himself.

He says, but verse 31, when?

When?

Did you know that there's a time, there's a win for every time the thief is stolen?

There is a win.

There is a W-H-E-N.

When.

Now, let's talk about wins for a little bit.

Now, did you know the W-I-N is coming?

Don't worry about the whining of the W-H-E-N.

Can I say that again?

The W-I-N is coming.

Don't worry about the whining of the W-H-E-N.

Why?

Because when the thief is found.

In other words, I guarantee he's gonna be exposed.

He can't hide.

What he did to you, he's got it.

There comes a day and a time of reckoning, and it's now.

Restoration is now.

Restoration is tonight.

It's now.

Tonight.

Now.

Restoration is now.

Restoration is now.

Restoration is now.

Now.

When the thief is found out.

He must.

Now, my Bible says must.

What does your Bible say?

Must.

So that means it's not optional.

There will be no more extensions.

It's time to pay up.

Tell the devil it's time to pay up.

Pay up.

Now when the thief has found out that which he has stolen has to be paid, must be restored sevenfold.

In other words, with interest.

Everything that was taken, everything that was delayed, everything that was held up and held back.

Now it's going to cost him.

Even.

He may have to give up all the substance of his house.

Your recompense and your record your restoration has compounded.

Let that marinate for a minute.

Your recompense has compounded.

Now, if you understand simple math and how compounded interest works, that means you're gonna get more than you started with.

Right?

Somebody missed another opportunity to run around the room.

It's compounded.

Restoration now.

Praise the name of the Lord.

Restoration now.

Hallelujah.

Stand with me, Carol.

Come back up if you would.

Stand with me.

Everybody stand.

We're gonna make a declaration.

Thank you, Father.

Thank you, Father.

Hida mandats in devo hoshibakata se maha rabatase bakashone bohote maha sete.

Grebo yun de baha sabrabakite mohoshimaka taleba asimoto henne botoshiba te.

Father in the name of Jesus, repeat after me.

Father, in the name of Jesus, we declare and decree and agree with your word.

That when the thief is found out and he's been exposed, that which he has stolen, delayed, hindered, held back, blocked, must be restored sevenfold, even if it cost the thief the full measure of his house.

Now, in the name of Jesus, we make a demand under the covenant and we say restoration now in Jesus' name.

Hallelujah.
