Dealing with the Enemies of Recovery.

Topic: Dealing with the Enemies of Recovery
Text: Luke 19:10
When God wants to restore a man He restores totally. A man was healed of blindness in the bible and when he was asked what he sees he said “I see men as trees” and he was asked to come back for a second touch. All you need is a second touch
Recovery is or can be seen as:
1. The restoration of the hair (Judges 16:22). The hair is a symbol of the glory and you don’t live in sin with it. The enemies don’t give up because they have a mission. The glory can depart without making a noise – Judges 16:20. Whatever affects your hair affects your life.
2. Recovery means whatever that was stolen from you must be returned back to you.
If you must recover all, there are categories of things to recover:
1. Our relationship with God. Reunion with God is very important.
2. Restoration of good health.
3. Restoration of bread winners.
4. Restoration of unrewarding efforts.
5. Restoration of lost years.
Recovery will not be possible until certain enemies are dealt with:
1. Refusal to hear or inquire of the Lord. 1 Samuel 30:8. No man can recover until God ask you to go. Don’t try it because others are trying it until you are anointed to handle it by God.
2. Satanic or strange arrows. The enemies attack through this means. What then are arrows generally used for?
• Genesis 27:3 – They are used for wars or hunting.
• Ezekiel 21:21 – They are used as divination.
• Ezekiel 5:16 – They are used for destruction.
• Deuteronomy 32:23 – They can be used against an individual.
Types of arrows
• 2 Kings 4:18-22 – Arrows of death.
• Luke 8:43 – Arrows of afflictions.
• Acts 15: 39 – Arrows of division.
• John 13:2 – Arrow of character-disorder.
• Jeremiah 35:5-7 – Arrows of ancestral curse.
Prayer: Every arrows shoot against me and my family catch fire.
