It is one thing to be restored; it is another to experience complete restoration. Some people are restored halfway – like the nine lepers in Luke 17:12-19. The only one who received complete restoration was the tenth leper because he returned to give thanks to the Lord. Complete restoration does not allow any backwardness or stagnation. This is why I always assure those who have received one miracle or another that when they give the testimony of what the Lord has done, it will always be permanent.

A typical example of complete restoration is found in Acts 3:1-8. When the lame man at the gate called Beautiful got his healing, it was complete. First, his feet and ankle bones received strength for the first time in his life. After this, he began to walk, and then to leap - praising God. May you experience complete restoration of whatever you have lost, in Jesus name.

The story in Mark 8:25 reveals another typical example of complete restoration. The lessons in the story are many. One, Jesus will not stop until He has completed whatever miracle He starts. Two, He always completes His miracle in the life of an individual, as revealed in that story. When the man said he was seeing men like trees, Jesus was not satisfied with such an incomplete miracle; He continued to do what He knew how to do best until it was complete, perfect and delivered. The Lord will perfect the good work He has started in your life and He will not abandon it until it is complete in Jesus name.

You can have complete restoration in your spiritual life if you have missed it one way or the other. You can be born again, sanctified, and baptized in the Holy Ghost. Your expectation for the complete restoration of your shattered dreams shall not be cut short in Jesus name. I just want to advise you to have an encounter with Jesus Christ – the One who can make all your dreams come true. You will have testimonies of the complete restoration of your destiny, in the mighty name of Jesus.
