"I lost everything and now I'm starting from zero or worse."
How it sounds in your head: All that time, money, and effort is just gone. I'm further behind than when I started. Years wasted. How will I ever recover from this hole?
"So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust."
-- Joel 2:25Source: world's accounting system that measures loss in earthly terms only, ignoring Kingdom mathematics where nothing is wasted.
She can calculate the actual financial loss, time invested, and opportunities missed. The numbers are real and the comparison to where she was before is stark and painful.
Lost all his wealth, all his children, and his health - reduced to scraping his sores with broken pottery. God restored him with DOUBLE what he lost - twice the livestock, wealth, and even more children - in one supernatural turnaround.
I REFUSE the lie that I lost everything and I'm starting from zero. IT IS WRITTEN that my God restores the years the locusts have eaten. I am not at zero - I am at a RESTORATION POINT where my Father is about to do exceedingly abundantly above all I ask or think. IT IS WRITTEN that the BARAK blessing on my life commands blessing on my storehouses and everything I set my hand to. What looks like loss is setup for supernatural restoration with multiplication. My Father specializes in double-for-trouble and beauty-for-ashes. He wastes NOTHING.
Your Father sees this differently than you do - where you see loss, He sees a testimony in the making. He's already gathering the double portion, the restored years, the supernatural recompense, and He's about to pour it out because that's what RESTORERS do.
