There are moments in life when you feel like everything you’ve done and all the years in your life has been wasted.It feels like you’ve been moving in circles! like no progress has been made! and you wonder if the last time can ever be restored, but let me tell you something Yah is a Yah of restoration. He is not limited by time. He holds it in his hands and he can restore every single year. You feel has been wasted! what you need is to believe in Him with unwavering faith. Yah will not only give back what was lost, but He will multiply renew it and make it greater than before, so stay with me and I’ll show you how Yah’s promise of restoration can change everything. Yah never waste anything. He sees every moment of your life even the ones that seem insignificant or filled with struggle! in His eyes no time is ever wasted because He uses everything to fulfill His purpose for you, even in the times when you felt like you were going nowhere, Yah was still at work, positioning you for what he has planned Sometimes what seems like wasted time is actually a season of preparation. Yah is not just concerned about where you’re going, but He is deeply invested in who you are becoming! so why you might be looking at those years of hardship or loss and feeling like they were for nothing. Yah sees them as essential building blocks in your journey. Yah specializes in turning setbacks into comebacks. The Bible is full of stories where it seemed like the end for someone, but Yah showed up and restored everything often in ways that will be beyond human comprehension remember Job he lost everything his wealth. His health and his family, but because he remain faithful, Yah restored to him double what he had before! That’s the kind of restoration. God has in store for you. It’s not just about giving back what you lost it’s about making it better full and richer than it ever was, and let’s not forget the story of Joseph sold into slavery by his own brothers, falsely accused and thrown into prison. It looked like his life was one long series of wasted years, but Yah was at work behind the scenes. What seem like wasted time was actually the perfect set up for his elevation. When the time was right Yah restored Joseph to a position of power, making him second in command of all Egypt the years spent in slavery and in prison were not wasted. They were necessary for his development for his preparation. Yah’s restoration plan is always tied to his purpose for your life! when you think you’ve lost time know that Yah can restore it with interest. It’s not just giving you back what you lost is preparing to give you more than you ever imagined, but here’s the key you have to believe! restoration begins when you trust that Yah is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than you can ask or imagine! The enemy wants you to focus on what’s gone! on the years that slipped away! the missed opportunities! the relationships that failed but faith shifts your focus! faith declares that nothing is truly lost when you place it in Yah’s hands faith says that Yah can redeem the time that he can turn what looks like a detour into a divine Destiny And when you believe! you give Yah the space to work miracles in your life, the prophet Joel gives us one of the most powerful promises of restoration in scripture in 2:25 Yah declares, I will restore to you the years that the locust have eaten. Think about that for a moment Yah isn’t just talking about giving back things you’ve lost he’s talking about restoring whole seasons of your life that were consume by destruction, pain and hardship. Those Locust represent the times you faced adversity where it seem like everything was being stripped away, but TheYah promises that he will restore even those years and when Yah restores it’s not just a return to what was! it’s an elevation. It’s a renewal rebirth, and this isn’t just about material things or external circumstances. Yah’s restoration often starts on the inside He restores your heart your mind your spirit he heals the wounds that you’ve been carrying sometimes for years, he renews your strength and gives you a fresh vision for your future restoration is as much about who you are becoming as it is about what you are receiving so don’t just expect Yah to restore the things you’ve lost expect him to restore you to make you stronger, wiser and more grounded in His purpose for your life, see Yah is not limited by time He created time and he can do more and a moment then we could in a lifetime the years that you think have been wasted Yah can make up for them in ways that will leave you amazed and He can accelerate your progress so that what should’ve taken years happens in months. This is the nature of Yah’s restoration. It’s supernatural it defies, logic, and human reasoning, but to access that kind of restoration you have to believe you have to have the kind of faith that says Yah, I trust you with my past my present in my future I trust that nothing is wasted in your hands and here’s something else you need to understand. Sometimes Yah allows things to be taken away so that he can give you something better what you see as lost Yah sees us opportunity. He is the master builder, and sometimes he has to remove certain things in order to build something stronger and more lasting. You may have gone through a season where everything seem to fall apart, but in Yah’s plan That was just a foundation being laid for something far greater consider the story of Ruth she lost her husband, her home, her security, and found herself in a foreign land. It looked like her life had been reduced to a handful of wasted years, but Yah was orchestrating a restoration far beyond what she could’ve imagined through her faithfulness, she became part of the lineage of Yahusha! Yah didn’t just restore her. He elevated her to a place of eternal significance. This is what Yah wants to do for you he wants to restore all the years that seem lost, but he’s not stopping there. He’s preparing to bring you into a new season one that is marked by his favor, his blessing and his abundance, but it all starts with your belief! when you believe that Yah can restore you! open the door for his power to flow into your life. You may have experienced seasons of failure, disappointment, and regret. You might look back and see missed opportunities, broken relationships, or dreams that never materialized, but I’m here to tell you that none of it is wasted not a single moment. Yah can redeem every tear every heartache every setback what the enemy meant for evil Yah will turn for good and when Yah restores it not just a return to what was it’s an upgrade. It’s a transformation When Yah restores what was wasted. Yes, he doesn’t just give you back what you lost to give you more!!more wisdom, more strength, more insight, more peace more joy the restoration that Yah offer is total and complete . He doesn’t do anything halfway, but here’s a thing you have to be ready. You have to position yourself for restoration. You have to align your heart with Yah’s heart your will with his will! restoration doesn’t come to those are stuck in bitterness, anger, or unbelief. It comes to those who trust that Yah is faithful! that his promises are true and that he is able to do what he said he would do-so right now I encourage you to let go of the years you feel that was wasted! Release them into Yah’s hands and watch Him create something beautiful!!

Believe that he is a Yah of restoration a Yah who makes all things new and when you do, you will begin to see his power move in your life in ways you never thought possible! faith is the key you have to believe that Yah is not finished with you yet! you have to believe that your best days are not behind you but ahead of you. You have to believe that Yahvis working all things together for your good even the things that seem like losses he is the master restore and he will bring back everything that was stolen from you and more. The Bible tells us in Isaiah 61:7 instead of your shame, you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace, you will rejoice in your inheritance so you inherit a double portion in your land and everlasting joy will be yours. This is Yah’s promise for you. He is not just going to restore what you lost. He’s going to give you a double double for your trouble double for your pain double for the years that seemed wasted. Yah’s restoration is not just about material things. It’s about your heart and spiritual relationship with him. He wants to restore your joy, your peace, your sense of purpose. He wants to restore the dreams that you thought were dead. He wants to revive the passions that you let go of! Yah is in the business of restoration and he specializes in bringing dead things back to life as we explore this concept of restoration. It’s essential to understand that Yah’s ability to restore is not contingent upon your past mistakes, failures, or shortcomings no matter how deep the scares run Yah can heal them and use them for his glory. Your past does not define your future. Yah’s promised us in 2 Corinthians 5:17?It states therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away behold the new has come. This transformation is a key part of Yah’s restorative work. You become new and you’re wasted years can be redeemed in ways that showcases love and mercy. The journey of restoration often involves patients and faithfulness many times we expect instant results, but Yah works on a divine timetable that is often different from us. Remember that Yah’s timing is perfect. It might not align with our understanding, but he is always working behind the scenes preparing you for what is to come Think about the Israelites in the desert. They wandered for 40 years. Seem like many lost and wasting time yet, those years were necessary for them to grow to learn to trust Yah! fully, and to be prepared for the promised land in those years they experience Yah’s provision guidance and correction your time of waiting can be a time of growth and preparation for what Yah has in store for you. It’s also crucial to recognize that restoration can come in unexpected ways. Yah can surprise you with blessings that you never anticipated perhaps you have been mourning the loss of a relationship, a job or a dream in the midst of that pain. Yah may be preparing something new and beautiful. He has the ability to bring to life from dead situations. The resurrection of Yahusha is the ultimate testament to this truth would appear to be the end of crucifixion, a tomb was in fact the beginning of something far greater Yahusha conquered death and in him we have the promise of life in your life. Yah can bring restoration even in the darkest of times he can resurrect your hopes, your dreams, and even your years that you believe were lost you may feel as if you have been forgotten overlooked or abandoned, but I want to remind you Psalm 139 which tells us that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Yah knows you intimately and he has not forgotten you. Your value is not determined by your circumstances, but by who you are in Christ When you grasp your identity of a beloved child of Yah it changes everything you become empowered to claim the restoration that is rightfully yours. Yah sees you knows your pain and has a plan to bring healing and restoration to every part of your life! restoration also requires you to let go of your need to control everything surrendering your plans to Yah can be one of the most challenging but liberating act of faith. We often want to dictate how our restoration should look, but Yah’s ways are higher than our way when you relinquish control you allow Yah to work in ways that exceed your expectations he is the master artist painting a masterpiece from the chaotic strokes of your life. Trust him to craft a beautiful restoration out of your brokenness as you navigate through the process of restoration it’s essential to engage in spiritual disciplines that align you with Yah’s heart, prayer worship, and the study of his word of vital tools that open your heart to receive what he wants to give! these practices help you cultivate a deeper relationship with him, allowing his promises to take root in your life in your prayer time ask Yah to reveal areas where you need healing and restoration to be honest about your feelings of loss or disappointment. Bring your burden to him and let him exchange your heaviness for his lightness! worship is another powerful way to invite Yah into your situation when you worship you acknowledge Yah, sovereignty and power! you declare that he is able to restore what is lost and that he is worthy of your praise regardless of your circumstances, worship shift your focus from your problems to Yah’s greatness it opens the door for miracles to happen in your life as you lift your voice and praise you are aligning yourself with the truth that Yah is indeed a restorer, and you begin to position yourself to receive the blessings he has for you. The study of scripture is vital as well. The word of Yah is filled with promises of restoration meditate on verses that speak to your heart about Yah’s willingness and ability to restore let those promises fill you with hope and expectation Hebrews 15 four reminds us that everything that was written in the past was written to teach us so that through the endurance taught in the scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope. Hope is a powerful catalyst for restoration when you have hope you can enjoy challenges and wait for the manifestation of Yah’s promises in your life. Furthermore, surround yourself with people who can encourage you and support you on your journey. Communities is a gift from Yah being part Fiveamprayer can provide the encouragement you need to believe for restoration. You are not meant to walk this journey alone. Share your struggles your hopes in your dreams with others who can pray with you and uplift you! sometimes restoration comes through the support of fellow citizens , who remind you of Yah’s faithfulness and his promises, as you continue to believe that Yah will restore your wasted years, be prepared for the enemy to challenge your faith! He will try to remind you of your past failures and make you doubt Yah’s ability to redeem your circumstances, but remember that the enemies a liar! he comes to steal, kill and destroy in contrast. Yahusha came so that we might have life and have it abundantly when those doubts arise counteract them with the Word of Yah! Speak life over your situation!!
