"My husband and I had been trying for a baby for five years. It was a difficult season of tears, disappointments, pain, and several trips to the hospital where we were told we had “unexplained infertility.” We tried in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection but to no avail.
In February 2013, a friend sent us Pastor Prince’s sermon, Worship with the Psalms of David and See Good Days, which was broadcast in January that same year. In the message, Pastor Prince announced 2013 to be the year of open wombs and prayed for those who desired to have children. We received that prayer by faith and nine months later, our wonderful son, Jens, was born! He’s a miracle and gift to us from God.
Since then, I have been reading Pastor Prince’s daily devotionals and have even returned to church for the first time in over twenty years. I’m so happy that Jesus never left or gave up on me. I feel so blessed. Thank You, Jesus!"

Restoration for your Own Mistakes
Perhaps you are thinking, “Yes I know I can expect restoration when the devil attacks me or if I am persecuted. But I am suffering now because of my own mistake. Surely I cannot expect God to restore me? I will have to suffer and pay for my mistake.”
Well, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is called the good news because it is really undeserved favor. Even if you are suffering losses from your own mistakes, you can still expect to receive restoration that is better in quality and/or quantity than before.
I know it sounds too good to be true, but I am not just making that up. Look at Abraham’s story. He told his wife Sarah to lie to everyone in Gerar that she was only his sister.
He did this because Sarah had been renewed in her youth and was exceedingly beautiful. Abraham was afraid that if the people knew that she was his wife, they would kill him and take her for themselves.
After hearing that Sarah was only Abraham’s sister, the king of Gerar, Abimelech, took Sarah into his harem.
Reading this story, it is clear that Abraham is the one at fault. He lied that Sarah was only his sister, and his lies stemmed from cowardice and self-preservation, endangering Sarah’s chastity.
Yet, when God wanted to save Sarah from being violated, He threatened Abimelech and his family with death if he decided not to restore Sarah to Abraham.
“God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn’t allow you to touch her. Now therefore, restore the man’s wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you don’t restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.”” (Genesis 20:6-7 WEB)
Shouldn’t it be Abraham who was threatened with death for his cowardice and lies? This is God’s Grace towards the righteous ones who are justified by faith. Even if you make a mistake, God is not punishing you for your sins—His heart is to restore you for the negative consequences of your wrong actions.
What does restore “the man’s wife” mean? Is it just to give Sarah back to Abraham? Let us examine what Abimelech did:
“Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him. Abimelech said, “Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you.” To Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated.”” (Genesis 20:14-16 WEB)
Wow, instead of just giving Sarah back to Abraham, Abimelech gave sheep, cattle, servants, land and a thousand pieces of silver to Abraham. Even though Abraham was the originator of the problem, he was enriched through his mistake.
This is what God’s restoration looks like. You never just get the same thing back. It will always be better in quality and/or quantity when He restores you for your losses.
Even though Abraham made mistakes in his life, he had a great relationship with God, such that the Scriptures call him “a friend of God”. Whenever God appeared and spoke to him, he paid attention, delighting in the words and meditated on them.
An example of this would be God’s promise to him that he would have a son who was born of Sarah. Abraham never gave up on that promise, and eventually, he received the fulfillment of it.
“Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.” (Psalms 1:1-3 WEB)
Although we are born-again and our spirits are righteous, holy and perfect like Jesus, we still live in this body of sinful flesh. Sometimes we get confused, thinking that the fleshly impulses and thoughts are our own. This causes us to make mistakes.
However, if you have a heart for God’s word like Abraham did, even the mistakes you unwittingly make will prosper. What you did may not be good, but God can still turn things around for your good because He is for you, not against you. Since you are righteous in Christ, you can expect to receive restoration for your losses, even if they were caused by your own mistakes!
Learn God’s plan to prosper you in all things through His restoration. If you have lost in any way, you can expect to gain much more/better back. This eBook, “All Things Made New”, may be the most comprehensive book about God’s restoration:

Receive the Mighty Works of God in your Body
“As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him. I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud, and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.” (John 9:1-7 WEB)
This whole world is fallen due to Adam’s sin. Why are people born blind or with other conditions? Jesus’ reply to His disciples tells us that it is not God punishing men for their sins.
Think of our DNA that links back all the way to Adam as a printer. No matter how perfectly drawn a piece of digital art is, if it comes out from a faulty printer, the result will be a blotchy art piece with imperfections.
Is this the fault of the artist? No, it is because the printer is faulty. Ever since Adam sinned, he has passed on seed (DNA) that is also corrupted by sin. Every baby inherits sin in their flesh. The sin-tainted DNA is like the faulty printer, messing up God’s perfect design.
The man who was born blind must have suffered greatly over the years. Perhaps he was bitter and angry with God, blaming Him for the health condition.
The blind man would never imagine that God loved him so much that He sent His Son to heal him in person.
After being healed, the blind man got saved. His story and declarations of faith are forever recorded as Scripture, and has inspired innumerable believers throughout time. Was it worth it to be born blind and have a personal encounter with Jesus like that, immortalized in Scripture? I feel that it is priceless.
God is not so petty that if we misunderstand Him, He will not be good to us. Look at Jesus—He was willing to be humiliated and blasphemed at the cross, so that we would be saved. When we look at Jesus, we will know Abba God’s heart. Jesus did nothing without first receiving instructions from the Father. As Jesus obeyed what He saw (in vision form), the Holy Spirit supplied the power for miracles. They worked perfectly in sync as one God.
If you were born with a condition that you hate, know that God did not design you this way. Sin that is passed down through the DNA is what distorts God’s beautiful design.
God wants you to receive His healing. We know that the price for your healing and restoration have been paid at the cross. Jesus’s blood was shed so that you can be made whole.
Jesus said that while He was in the world, He was the light of the world.
Since He has returned to Heaven, is there no more “light of the world”?
“You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden. Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16 WEB)
Jesus has passed on the baton to us. Now, you and I who have the Holy Spirit indwelling us, are the light of the world.
The Lord said that the man was allowed to be born blind so that the works of God might be revealed in him. Healing is a good work that glorifies God in Heaven.
As the light of the world, go forth in the same authority that Jesus had when He went about doing good, healing all who were oppressed by the devil. He did not heal anyone by His own divinity. He relied on the power of the Holy Spirit, so that we would have a pattern to follow.
When you pray for healing, expect God’s power for healing to be supplied. You can receive miracles in Jesus’ name.
When Jesus returns for us, our mortal bodies will be transformed into glorified bodies. Then, the ‘faulty printer’ will be gone. We will be revealed as beautiful masterpieces of art, just as our good God originally intended!
Need a miracle of youth renewal, enhanced beauty, increased strength and fitness, or healing? It comes by having a revelation of God’s word, not just ‘wishing’ for it.
