THE RESTORER OF LOST TREASURES

Monday Morning, February 9, 2015 7:00 a.m.

Dear Grace House Family,

I am writing to share with you a revelatory experience that I just had while Mikki and I were praying together over our family and our Grace House family.

While we were praying, I felt the presence of the Lord so strongly and then I heard and saw “Restorer of Lost Treasures. Ask me to be the Restorer of Lost Treasures.” I sat in my recliner continuing to listen. I then heard and saw, “Declare that I am the Restorer of Lost Treasures.” I actually heard the words in my spirit and saw the words in my mind. I saw clouds and a break in the clouds where the light was coming through and I saw the words, “The Restorer of Lost Treasures.”

My mind was then filled with the occasion where Moses took a staff and held it out over the Red Sea and it parted. I looked in the corner of my study and saw a staff my son, Andrew, had hand carved for me this past Christmas and a smaller staff made of the heart of a palm tree that was on my shelf. I knew what I was to do.

I got up, took a staff in each hand, moved into the center of room and stretched them forth and began speaking, “I declare in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that my God is the RESTORER OF LOST TREASURE. I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME FOR YOU, MY GOD, TO RESTORE LOST TREASURES.

As I began praying and decreeing, the words began to roll out. I knew this was for me, my family and our Grace House family. It was something we are being invited into by the Lord. Something He wants to specifically do for us now.

I continued, “I declare that the Lord is the restorer of lost treasures in the life of my family and the lives of my Grace House family. I declare that He is the Restorer of treasures that have been lost by lack of thoughtfulness and lack of planning, treasures that have been lost by sinful actions, treasures lost by demonic theft, and treasures lost by lack of revelation.

I then just knew in my spirit that I was to strike the floor with the ends of the two staffs. I struck the floor three times, paused, three more times, paused then struck three more times. I then had it come to my mind that we would hear in the news of lost treasure that had been found. I felt released that and I was through.

If you bear witness with this, I ask that you be in prayerful agreement with me. I believe there are all kinds of treasures the Lord wants to restore to our lives. There is revelation we previously would not receive, things valuable to us that have been lost, treasured relationships restored, family heirlooms recovered, things that were meant to be ours we never knew about, lost funds, lost inheritance, lost friends, financial blessings, old photos and keepsakes , misplaced things, things lost through forgetfulness, and so forth.

What has been lost by you or stolen from you that you want to see restored? Also, ask the Lord to restore those things you never knew about. Yes, there could be treasures that enter your hand that were meant to be yours but were lost in transit, so to speak.

The greatest treasures are the treasures in the knowledge of Jesus Christ (Colossians 2:3) and the treasures that we get to store up in heaven (Matthew 6:20). I do believe there is a prophetic prompting in all this. God often does things in the natural in order to draw us more deeply into the spiritual.

A few months ago Mikki was moved to ask God to help her find her high school scrapbook that had been missing over 30 years. Within two weeks, she visited her Mom’s place, walks into the laundry room and there they were in a box on top of the dryer. A cousin of hers had been looking in Mikki’s parents old barn (he has helped take care of the property) and found it and thought Mikki would like to have it. At that time, we felt there was something prophetic about what she experienced and we as a church prayed about this.

Not long after Mikki’s experience, our son, Andrew, found a ring he had bought for his daughter Audrey when he was away on a trip in the Northwest. It was a special gift that was very meaningful to him that had been lost over two years. Andrew shared that he had prayed about finding it after Mikki had shared her experience.

During this same time, another man in our fellowship in a time of need found $200 that had been hidden away in a coat pocket. It was an on time blessing from God.

Several weeks ago in one of our services the Lord gave me a word of knowledge and prophetic word that a lady in attendance in the service that morning had lost a ring from her grandmother that was a family heirloom and that it was going to be returned to her. Two weeks ago, the testimony was shared. One of our ladies had lost her grandmother’s ring while she was living in Florence over a year ago. Recently it showed on the sheets while sleeping at her parent’s house in a city an hour away. She ran her hand over the sheets and felt something. It was the lost ring of her grandmother. She shared that the bed had been slept and made up many times; the sheets and pillow cases had been washed many times in the past year. Yeah, strange…..but the prophetic word said it would happen. God gave it back to her on family ground. Restoration. A miracle. I believe we will hear and see many such incredible happenings of God restoring lost treasures.

Yesterday, at our monthly Acts 2:17 Prophetic Meeting, Mikki and I shared another amazing thing God is doing for us in the area of restoration. This was preceded by a specific word Mikki received shortly before her mother passed away on January 2^nd. It is truly another miraculous story of restoration and I will save the details of that till later.

This morning’s experience is still so strong upon me. The Lord is trying to get my attention and I believe our attention on this issue of restoration and recovery of those things we have thought were hopelessly lost. Let’s agree and believe together to see this coming forth. This is important so I will plan on preaching on this a week from Sunday. Please let us know of your testimony of lost treasure restored when it happens.

Please ask the Lord to be your Restorer of lost treasures and then decree and declare over your life and over the lives of our Grace House family that our God is THE RESTORER OF LOST TREASURES.
