Prophetic words: A time to repair, redo and restore!

The Lord says:

"For you who do My will, the enemy may be trying to attack you or do harm against you recently, be it in words, in works, or even in the physical body. But fear not! Because I have overcome for you! My blood covers you and My anointing destroys every curse that the enemy speak against you. Look to Me, and watch how I overturn and push back what the enemy does against you!" 

So, people of God, if you have been attacked left and right by the enemy recently, fear not! Because the Lord has overcome for you. And He is overturning and pushing back whatever the enemy does against you!

In Luke 10:19 (NKJV), Jesus Himself says, "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you." 

See the words 'nothing shall by any means hurt you'? Nothing whatsoever! And the Lord has given you the authority over all the power of the enemy! Not some, but all! So right now, in the name of Jesus, take authority over all the works and words of darkness that come against you, and hold the Blood of Jesus Christ against all these. Amen! 

In Acts 28:1-6, Apostle Paul, having escaped the shipwreck due to the stormy weather, landed in an island called Malta. The natives in the island showed kindness to him and those who were shipwrecked, because of the rain that was falling and because it was cold. But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand. 

But you know what? Paul shook off the viper and he suffered no harm. 

In cross-reference, remember what Luke 10:19 says? For those who walk with God and do His will, nothing shall by any means hurt them! 

By the way, 'serpents and scorpions' are 'pictures' of the danger or harm caused by the enemy against God's people.

Back to Acts 28:1-6. The natives of the island were actually expecting Paul to swell up or suddenly drop dead, because a viper's bite could be fatal. But after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm came to him, they changed their mind about him and concluded that he was a god! Of course Paul was just a man used by the Lord God Almighty, and they didn't know it at that time.

Therefore, be encouraged today, people of God! Whatever people may say against you, whatever people try to do harm against you, or whatever the enemy try to do harm against you, fear not, if you are flowing with the Holy Spirit, and you are just doing what the Lord tells you to do and to be. They may try to cause a dent to you. They may try to attack you. But the Lord has overcome for you. And the Blood of Jesus is effective to cover you. Not only that. You are going to see yourself being used even greater by the Lord! And this was exactly what happened to Paul at that time! 

In Acts 28:7-10, it happened that the father of Publius (a leading citizen in the island) was sick with fever and dysentery (a condition in the intestines that causes diarrhea containing blood). Paul then prayed for this father of Publius, and he was healed. The healing power of the Lord flowed through Paul! And when the rest of the people in the island heard about this, all who had diseases also came to Paul to be prayed for, and they too were healed. Hallelujah!

Right now, it is the same for you! The healing anointing is being released to you right now! Receive by faith! Be healed and stay healed, in Jesus' name! Not only this healing anointing is being released to heal you, this healing anointing is also being released through you, that as you pray for others, this healing will also flow to others! This is the message for this time and season for you, that your time to receive your healing, wholeness and wellness has come! Believe and receive by faith!

The Lord says further: 

"This is the time to repair, redo, and restore; be it in your spirit, your soul, your physical body, or even in a relationship. It's not too late yet. There's still time for you to let Me repair, redo, and restore you. Receive My Spirit and My power to heal and restore you. And receive My wisdom to redo what I have spoken for you to redo in your life." 

Yes, I heard these three words for this time and season: Repair, redo, and restore. Let the Lord repair your life. Let the Lord redo your life. Let the Lord restore your life.

What is 'repair'? 'Repair' means 'to fix something that is broken, torn or damaged'. Is there any area in your life that has been broken, torn or damaged? Maybe by the devil against you, or by people against you. But the Lord says He is repairing you, and He is fixing it for you right now; whether in your spirit, your soul, your physical body, or even in any relationship that the Lord has started for you and opened the door for you! 

What is 'redo'? 'Redo' means 'to do something again or in a different way'. It can mean you have done something right before, but you have become stagnant; and the Lord is now reviving it, re-firing it, and causing you to do it again! But it can also mean 'to do something in a different way'. Maybe what you used to do in the past does not apply anymore for this new time and season that the Lord has opened for you. And the Lord is teaching you to do it in a different way. Maybe it's in a ministry. Maybe it's in your vocation. Maybe it's in the way you do business. The Lord is right now giving you the wisdom to do it in a new way in this new time and season, because if you still do what you used to do in your old time and season and try to apply it in this new time and season, it may not work. The new wine is to be contained in the new wineskin, not the old wineskin. Otherwise the old wineskin will burst! 

What is 'restore'? 'Restore' means 'to put something back to its original or pristine (unspoiled) state'. Maybe certain aspects of your life have been broken by the enemy, and the Lord is right now bringing you back and putting you back to what He has originally meant for you to be! He is restoring you back to His blessing that carries no sorrow with it! He is restoring you back to your divine health and divine strength! He is restoring you back to His divine purposes and plans for your life! Hallelujah! 

Prayer: 

"O Lord God, we thank You because You have overcome for us, and therefore, nothing that is thrown by the enemy against us shall by any means hurt us. We thank You for Your Spirit who lives in us, and Your power that works in us and through us. We let You repair, redo, and restore any area of our lives that has been broken, torn or damaged. We receive Your healing, wholeness and wellness now. In the name of Jesus. Amen."

How to make the right decisions in life?

The Lord spoke, "This month is a crucial month of making decisions for many of My people." So, let me give you some tips that had proven effective in my own life. I learned this by the revelation of the Holy Spirit and by my own personal experience in decision-making. 

Put it simply, these are the 5 keys that the Lord has taught me:

1. Purify your heart

- 2 Chronicles 29:5 (NLT): He (Hezekiah) said to them, "Listen to me, you Levites! Purify yourselves, and purify the Temple of the Lord, the God of your ancestors. Remove all the defiled things from the sanctuary."

- Matthew 5:8 (NKJV): Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.

2. Shut off from the 'noises' of this world

- Matthew 9:23-26 (NLT): When Jesus arrived at the official’s home, he saw the noisy crowd and heard the funeral music. "Get out!" he told them. "The girl isn’t dead; she's only asleep." But the crowd laughed at him. After the crowd was put outside, however, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she stood up! The report of this miracle swept through the entire countryside. 

- Isaiah 30:15 (NLT): This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: "Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength."

3. Spend time in the Word

- Psalm 119:130 (NKJV): The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.

- Psalm 119:105 (NKJV): Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

- Acts 4:13 (NKJV): Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.

4. Worship/Pray in the spirit

- Isaiah 25:1 (NLT): O Lord, I will honor and praise your name, for you are my God. You do such wonderful things! You planned them long ago, and now you have accomplished them.

- Romans 8:26-27 (NKJV): Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

5. Let go your worries to Him

- Psalm 55:22 (NLT): Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.

- Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT): Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Knowing God's will and making the right decisions

As I was seeking the Lord for the prophetic words for this month, I heard Him say:
"It is a key month to inquire of Me and to seek My will. Abide in Me, and I will teach you and show you My will and My way. Many of My people will enter a season of decision-making that will cause them to bear much fruit in life."

As I received these words, the Lord also gave me a vision of an apple tree with many branches full of ripe, red apples, ready for the picking. This is a 'picture' of decisions you make that lead to health, life, goodness, and stability in life.

Back to the prophetic words above. Why do you need to know God's will for your life? The answer is simple. So that you can make the right decisions in life that lead to health, life, goodness, and stability in life! Many people make decisions first before seeking God's will, and that's where the trouble starts. It's akin to shooting first before aiming!

Before we go further, it is important to know that God's will for you is always to save you, heal you, restore you, and prosper you (2 Peter 3:9, 3 John 1:2). This is the underlying principle that you must know. His thoughts for you are always thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).

In fact, Jesus drank the cup of suffering and separation so that you don't have to! In Mark 14:36, Jesus said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will." The word 'will' here is 'thelesis' in Greek, from the word 'thelo' meaning 'to determine, to choose, to intend'.

He was praying this prayer in the garden of Gethsemane, knowing that He would soon be separated from the Abba Father. You see, they are one (John 10:30) and they cannot be separated, just like the sun and light cannot be separated. But for once, they had to (see Matthew 27:45-46), because He had to carry all our sins on the cross! So that we can now have this assurance that nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39). He did it all for you and I whom He loves.

He has chosen you and intended for you to bear fruit in life
Notice the word 'will' in Greek can mean 'to determine, to choose, to intend'. The next principle you need to know is He has chosen you and intended for you to bear fruit in life.

Ephesians 1:4-5 says, 'Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will'.

In John 15:15-16, Jesus says, "No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain..."

"How to know God's will for my life?"
This is a question people often ask me. I would say the one most important key to knowing God's will is to abide in Him. In other words, to stay connected with Him, moment by moment, day by day. Talk to Him about everything. Take time to immerse yourself in reading the Word of God and praying in the Spirit. It is in a deep, personal and intimate relationship with Him that you will soon receive the latest 'instructions' as to what to do and how to go about. His Spirit is the Spirit of truth, and He will never lead you into trouble.

In John 15:4-5, Jesus says, "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."
The word 'abide' here is 'meno' in Greek, meaning 'to remain, to stay, to dwell, to wait on, to be present'.

David learned to abide in the Lord and wait on the Lord
The Bible says David was 'a man after God's own heart' (1 Samuel 13:14). David learned very early that he had to continue to abide in the Lord and wait on the Lord in order to have good success. Not long after he became king over all Israel, the Philistines deployed themselves against him. 2 Samuel 5:19 says, 'So David inquired of the Lord, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?" And the Lord said to David, "Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand."'

Notice the words "Shall I..." and "Will You..." in the verse above. As you can see here, David would not go ahead unless and until he had received a specific instruction from the Lord. David learned to be present (to hear from the Lord) and to wait on the Lord first. As a result, he had a resounding victory (2 Samuel 5:20).

David learned to depend upon the Lord for every new decision
Now, watch what happened next. The Philistines then came up and deployed themselves against David once again. 2 Samuel 5:23-25 says, 'Therefore David inquired of the Lord (once again), and (this time) the Lord said, "You shall not go up; circle around behind them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then the Lord will go out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines." And David did so, as the Lord commanded him; and he drove back the Philistines from Geba as far as Gezer'.

What if David had assumed (or presumed) he should go up against the Philistines without asking God first, just because he had won a battle earlier? Chances are he would not have gained a total victory. David had learned to depend upon the Lord for every new decision he's about to make, every step of the way.

The lesson we can learn here is: When He says so, we say so. When He says no, we say no.

The Lord is here to help you!
Like David (whose name means 'beloved' in Hebrew), you too are God's beloved. Therefore, know that your battle is His battle. The battle is the Lord's. He is here to help you, no matter what the challenge (or challenges) you may be facing right now.

In John 14:16-18, Jesus says, "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever - the Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you."

1 John 2:27 says, 'But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him'.

People of God, allow the Lord to anoint your spiritual eyes and ears today, so that you will begin to see and hear the many more things that He wants (wills) to make known to you, such that 'eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him' (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Amen.
