Life has a way of taking things from us—our joy, peace, health, finances, relationships, or even our dreams. But God never intended for us to live in loss and defeat. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came to give us life in abundance (John 10:10).

If you’ve lost something—a job, an opportunity, your peace of mind, or years of your life—today is the day to take it back. It’s time to declare war on the enemy and reclaim everything he has stolen from you!

What Has the Enemy Stolen from You?

Think about your life. What have you lost that you wish you could recover?

🔹 Opportunities that slipped away?
🔹 Relationships that fell apart?
🔹 Finances drained by bad investments or unexpected events?
🔹 Peace of mind stolen by worry, anxiety, or depression?
🔹 Health that has been weakened by sickness?

The devil is a thief. He comes after what belongs to you, but you don’t have to sit back and take it!

God’s Promise: The Thief Must Pay Back Sevenfold

📖 Proverbs 6:31 (NIV)
“Yet when he, the thief, is found, he must restore sevenfold.”

The enemy is legally required to return what he stole—sevenfold! But you must do something about it.

It’s time to stand up and say, “Give me back my stuff!”

The Whole Bible Is a Story of Taking Back What Was Stolen

From Genesis to Revelation, God never allows the enemy to steal without a plan to restore.

📖 Genesis 14 – Abraham rescued his nephew Lot after he was taken.
📖 1 Samuel 30 – David lost everything, but God told him, “Pursue, overtake, and recover all!”
📖 Job 42 – After losing everything, Job received double for his trouble.
📖 Luke 15 – The lost coin, the lost sheep, and the prodigal son were all restored.

God never told anyone to just accept their loss. He always made a way for restoration.

Three Steps to Take Back What the Enemy Stole

1️⃣ You Must Have the Desire to Take It Back

📖 Mark 10:46-52 – Blind Bartimaeus shouted, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” The people tried to silence him, but he kept shouting until Jesus stopped and restored his sight.

Jesus knew what Bartimaeus needed, but He still asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”

👉 God wants to restore you, but He wants you to desire it, declare it, and take action.

Say this out loud:
🔥 “I am taking back my joy! I am taking back my health! I am taking back my family! I am taking back my finances! I am taking back everything the enemy stole from me, in Jesus’ name!”

2️⃣ Identify How the Enemy Got In

The enemy only steals when we leave an open door. Here are three common access points:

🛑 Unforgiveness – A Thief’s Entry Point
📖 2 Corinthians 2:10-11 (NIV)
“If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him… in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.”

Unforgiveness gives Satan an advantage. Forgiveness is not about excusing the person—it’s about closing the door on the devil!

⚠️ Unbelief – A Thief’s Stronghold
📖 Matthew 13:58 (NIV)
“And he did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.”

Faith is simple—it means believing what God says over what you see. If you’ve lost faith, pray:
🙏 “Lord, help my unbelief and restore my faith!”

🚫 Unthankfulness – A Breeding Ground for Loss
📖 Job 9:27 (NIV)
“If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint, I will change my expression, and smile,’ my heart would still be heavy.”

The devil thrives in an atmosphere of complaining. Instead of focusing on what’s wrong, start thanking God for what He’s already done—and watch your breakthrough come!

3️⃣ Take Action: Reclaim What’s Yours

In every Bible story of restoration, there was an action step:

• David pursued and recovered all. (1 Samuel 30:8)
• The widow poured oil, and it multiplied. (2 Kings 4:1-7)
• Job prayed for his friends, and God restored double. (Job 42:10)

👉 Are you ready to take action? Here’s what you can do:

✅ Declare restoration daily – Speak life over your situation.
✅ Forgive and let go – Close the enemy’s access point.
✅ Step out in faith – Take practical steps toward restoration.
✅ Give and sow seeds – Job’s turnaround came after he prayed for his friends.

This Is Your Year of Restoration

📖 Joel 2:25 (NIV)
“I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten.”
