The only reason most believers don't get back what's been stolen from them is they don't know they can get it back. Child of God, not only can you take back what the devil has stolen, but you can go to where Satan has hidden it and get it.
That's right - you can go into the enemy's camp.
"How can I do that?" you ask.
By knowing what the Bible says. The Bible says God has prepared a table before us in the presence of our enemies (Ps. 23:5). Right in the midst of the enemy's camp God has prepared a table on which He has placed everything I need for nourishment.
Right in the midst of sickness and disease, healing has been prepared on the table.
Poverty is in the enemy's camp, but prosperity is prepared for me on the table.
Bondage and habit and addiction are there, but deliverance has been prepared on the table.
Danger is all around, but protection is waiting for you on the table.
You've been putting up with great fights of afflictions because you didn't know that you had a right to sit at the table. You've been under the table trying to get the crumbs that fall off.
You are an heir of God and joint heir with Christ Jesus - it's time for you to get off the floor, sit at the table and eat like a King's kid.
The table is prepared. God is waiting for His children to come to the table. Child of God, it's time you quit letting trouble and affliction overcome you. Rise up in the joy of the Lord.
Get up off the floor and take your seat at the table. Get in the Word and learn what it promises you now that you're born again. Sure, trouble and great fights of afflictions will continue to come, but be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might (Eph. 6:10).
Remember, the joy of the Lord is your strength (Neh. 8:10). When trouble comes, rejoice knowing this: Although trouble comes, it doesn't have to overcome! When trouble shows up, laugh in its face and say:
In the name of Jesus, I have joy. Weeping may endure for the night, but joy cometh in the morning. I declare right now I live in joy. The joy of the Lord is my strength.
The more Word I get, the more joy I'll have. And the joy of the Lord is my strength. I will eat at the table that has been prepared for me in the presence of my enemies. What has been stolen shall be returned.
In Jesus' name, the devil will have to give back to me sevenfold of what he stole from me. Now in the name of Jesus let the return begin. From this point on, I will trouble my trouble with joy. In Jesus' name. Amen.
