SHOW NOTES:

God operates in ever-changing seasons, even in seasons that may not feel fruitful or like you're in the dead of winter. In the natural, it can feel very different from what the Lord has spoken to you. You may feel like the promise will never happen if it hasn't happened by now. Rest assured, as you continue to plow, this year is when what was once difficult will feel effortless—a year of supernatural harvest.

As the first half of your year–the plowing season– shifts into the latter half, be encouraged that God is bringing you harvest by restoration, retribution, and revival.


1. Shifting to restoration

Restoring is taking something back to its original condition. Take time to reflect on the areas of life that before you knew it had caused things to be “out of order” and your soul needing restoring.

With restoration, there is consecration—a cleaning out. God is uprooting the old to reestablish so your life will bear good fruit; change begins at the spiritual root. If you do not consecrate yourself to God, the weeds will choke out the fruit God wants to produce. Pray it through, put a guard around your heart and spirit, and ask the Lord what needs to be uprooted to reestablish you. Rid yourself of old thought patterns that can cause you to self-sabotage God’s plan. Renew your mind to believe you are worthy of everything He promises in His Word because of the blood of Jesus Christ! 

Not one seed sown in the sacrificial season goes unseen by God. He sees it all and will bring a restoration to it.

2. Shifiting for retribution in your life

The tide has turned over your battle. Restoration and retribution go hand in hand and God wants to put your life back together. When God completes a restorative process, there is retribution tied to it. While restoration is returning something to its original state, retribution is getting back what was taken from us. In the latter half of 2024, pursue, overtake, and recover all the enemy has taken from you.  There is a divine retribution that will hit every area of your life. Not only will you get back what the enemy has stolen, God will multiply it. 

God can do so much in a year, six months, three weeks, a day–one word from Him, and your whole life could look different. When God’s hand is upon it, no man can stop it, and no devil can undo it. If God puts it into motion and you are bold enough to believe and stand for it, God will do the impossible in your life –suddenly!

3. Shifting to realignment and revival 

Revival is moving in the Earth. Circumstances will realign suddenly as they did on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2.  People are pressing into God more than ever. God wants to do a work here on Earth. Declare you want to be a part of it! As you make small shifts and realignments that will ready your home for revival, get ready for revival to break out with the presence of God being undeniable. 

Restoration, retribution, and revival bring everything up to speed. Nothing will be lost, He can do anything. He is giving it all back and more.
