Joel 2:19, 25 (NKJV): “The LORD will answer and say to His people, ‘Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, and you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations…’ So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.’”

We have discussed God’s pattern for restoration in the previous devotionals. There is the grain (the unshakeable Word of God) and the new wine (the supernatural joy of the Holy Ghost). This spiritual sequence reaches its ultimate crescendo in the oil, which is the anointing.
The anointing is heaven’s specific weapon for healing, deliverance, and full recovery. Where locusts, caterpillars, and devouring spirits have wreaked havoc on health, finances, or destinies, their attacks simply signal the absence of a specific frequency of divine glory. There is an intensity of the anointing that no devourer can withstand! As Isaiah 10:27 promises, “the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.”
Tragically, many believers bypass God’s pattern. They run to prayer mountains frantically seeking the last element, the oil, without first laying hold of the first, which is the grain. True, lasting restoration belongs to those who tarry at the Word until it releases joy, because it is out of that joy-filled atmosphere that the yoke-destroying anointing breaks forth. When the oil flows, every hold of the enemy is canceled, the years stolen by the enemy are commanded back, and full restoration becomes your permanent reality.

GOLDEN NUGGET: When the oil flows, every hold of the enemy is canceled, the years stolen by the enemy are commanded back, and full restoration becomes your permanent reality.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I thank You for the power of the anointing at work in my life. I align my spirit with Your divine sequence of restoration, tarrying at Your Word until Your supernatural joy fills my soul. I declare that as the oil of the Holy Ghost flows upon me, every yoke of oppression, sickness, and lack is utterly broken. The hold of the enemy is destroyed, and any wasted years are fully restored to the glory of Your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
