Supernatural Reversal

We all go through loss, discouragement, and defeat. Sometimes we lose our health, the stock market investments, or a friend who walks away without a reason. The good news is that what you have lost is not always permanent. God is about to turn things around for you suddenly!

I recently ordered a pair of jeans online. When I went to pick them up from a retail store, it wasn’t the right one. I asked the clerk to cancel the order. He did it without a fuss and returned the funds back to my account. I realize that life is more complicated than that, but I wonder how many of us do the complete opposite? We tend to easily accept negative situations, or a crisis involving our health, family, or finances. The Scripture says, “The enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy.” It also says, “If a thief is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole” (Proverbs 6:31). So, whatever the enemy has stolen from you, you can reclaim it seven times over with penalty and interest!

The losses you suffered have not been fair. You may not see how things could ever improve again. You do not know how your investments will bounce back. You do not see how a relationship could be restored. The good news is that you do not have to know because God already does! He is initiating a supernatural reversal. Right now, He is working behind the scenes, lining things up in your favor. He is bringing the right people across your path. He is opening doors that no one can shut. You may have written off your future, but God does not abort a dream. Nor does He change His mind. What He started; He will finish. All you have to do is believe and thank Him for it!

In 2 Kings Chapter 6, Elisha was running a school for prophets. As the disciples grew in numbers, one of them proposed to expand the facility. Elisha agreed and they all went down to the River Jordan to cut down trees and bring them back. As one of the men was cutting down a tree, the axe head fell into the river. He cried out, “Oh no, master! It was borrowed!” Elisha asked, “Where did it fall?” The man showed Elisha the spot. The prophet cut off a piece of wood and threw it into the water. Miraculously, the axe head floated up to the surface. The disciple reached for it and picked it out of the water.

Can you imagine Elisha’s boldness commanding a solid piece of iron from out of a fast-flowing river? That is because he knew that the power of God was operating in his life. Like Elisha, you too have the power to recall what belongs to you. Your health can be restored. Your children will become Christ-followers. Your investments will start to soar again. Your marriage will be healed. Like Elisha, do not settle for a negative report. God has given us the power and authority to receive whatever we ask Him for (Mark 11:24). You may ask, “Sandy, do you really think God will hear my prayers? Doesn’t God have bigger things to deal with?” Can I tell you something? “You are God’s biggest deal!” He cares about every intricate detail of your life. He delights in the prosperity (body, mind, and soul) of His servant—that’s you (Psalm 35:27)!

Some of my friends are facing heavy losses from the slowing economy, crashing stock markets, and the lack of business. I am telling them what I am telling you now: Do not be afraid! God is saying to you, “I am your Source. I am not limited by natural circumstances. I am your Protector, your Healer, and your Provider. I will bring supernatural reversal to all you have lost. You will lend and not borrow. You will be the head and not the tail. I will bless you so that you can become a blessing to the world” (Deuteronomy 28:12-13 ESV). Do not look at your adversities and think “My situation is hopeless.” Jesus said, "What is impossible with man is possible with God."

John Chapter 11 tells the story of Lazarus, a good friend of Jesus, who had fallen ill. When Jesus first heard about it, he seemed unfazed. He said, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.” He made his way to Lazarus’ house. By the time Jesus arrived, his friend was dead and in a tomb for four days. He did not consider the natural circumstances. By faith, Jesus called out, “Lazarus, come out!” And he came out of the grave. Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

Friend, are there things dead in your life? Jesus is saying, “The dream within you is not dead, it is just asleep!” Dare to call them back! God does not start something and not finish it. If you believe it, God will fulfil the dream He put in you. He will bring about what He promised. Now do your part and start talking like it is going to happen. Thank God for it in advance. If you believe, you will see a supernatural reversal in an unprecedented way. You and everyone around you will be amazed and see the glory of God. Do you believe it? I know you do. I love you and I am praying for a supernatural reversal in your future with speed and finality!

“God, your God, will restore everything you lost; he'll have compassion on you; he'll come back and pick up the pieces from all the places where you were scattered” (Deuteronomy 30:3 MSG).
