TEXT: LUKE 15:11-32

When God restores – things happens!

     A. REVIVAL  – You wake up!

The beginning of restoration is the awareness and acknowledgement that only God can help and there is a need to return to HIM!

Luk 15:17  “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger!

1. Father – wake me up from all forms of slumber in the name of Jesus.

2. I command you (insert your name) – WAKE UP! “COME TO YOURSELF”! “COME TO YOUR SENSES”

3. Every veil blocking my sight, every association blocking my clear thinking and manipulating my destiny negatively – BE REMOVED  in Jesus name.

4. Every direction that I am heading that will ultimately lead to pain – Lord turn me around! And do it now!Lord! Let it never be too late for me.

5. From now – Let me think A-right! Let me think clearly! I bind every spirit of confusion in Jesus name.

6. The power to speak to myself in a way that it will lead to a proper response – Jehovah release it to me now!

7. Lord in all the areas of my life that I am dead – REVIVE me Lord!

    B. ABUNDANCE COMETH – Hunger gets a deadline!

8. Luk 15:17  “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger!

9. Lord! I am coming back to you – my only source – Stop Hunger of all forms permanently in my life!

10. You are the almighty – PLEASE show the world through me that there is no “NEED” you cannot meet

11. Lord! I have come to you – terminate Hunger in my life

12. In the name of Jesus, daddy – show me mercy and give me enough to eat going forward!

13. The curse of hunger that we have been experiencing as a nation and a people – terminate it Lord!

     C. THIRST FOR GOD

Luk 15:18  I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.

Luk 15:19  I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”‘Psa 84:2  My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

14. I ask my Father that for the rest of my life, I will crave you and thirst for your presence.

15. Living waters! PLEASE make me crave you again – LIKE never before!

16. In every area that I have missed it, Lord show me mercy! I am sorry!

17. From today, I covenant that I will never  go back  to disobedience – Help me Oh Lord!

18. “I will arise and go to” – Wherever I need to go, whatever I need to do to make amends for my disobedience, I will – just show me!

     D. IMMEDIATE POSITIVE RESPONSE AND ACTION

Luk 15:18  I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,Luk 15:19  And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. Luk 15:20  And he arose, and came to his father.

19. I reject the spirit of complacency and procrastination

20. Every spirit of delay that holds a man back after you have instructed – I bind you  and renounce you in Jesus name.

21. Every positive decision that I have taken this year to move forward  but could not implement – whatever the impediment – REMOVE NOW!

     E. ACCEPTANCE AND FAVOR

         Total RESTORATION  brings favor and acceptance

Luk 15:20  And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

22. Where  my  life and lifestyle has sent me on a downward spiral – all wise – reverse it!

23. I want a kiss of Heaven  – a kiss of your power and a kiss of acceptance – Lord, kiss me and restore me!

     F. REPACKAGING AND COMPLETE CLEAN UP

Luk 15:22  But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe,

24. Lord – repackage me! Clean me up!

25. ” and put it on him” – That which is mine and has been unused – “PUT IT ON ME”

26. Every curse operating around us that keeps us staining all that we celebrate, Holy Spirit – Clean it up!

27. Every old robe of sin, diseases and pain – change it Lord! Give me a robe of health and joy!

     G. RENEWAL OF POWER AND AUTHORITY

Luk 15:22  But the father said to his servants, ,.. and put a ring on his hand, ..
Est_8:2  And the king took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai.

28. Lord, wake me up that I may “FEEL” YOU AGAIN!

29. Daddy I empty myself – load me up with authority and fresh power again!

30. That “RING” of authority that belongs to me but is missing or stolen –  LORD, COLLECT IT AND GIVE IT TO ME

31. I declare from now – I am winning all battles of life! I am not a loser!

33. Fill my life with purpose and give me the tools to achieve it.

34. Every confusion about my mandate – clarify it this year!

     J. CELEBRATION
