🌾Taking Back What The Enemy Stole Tuesday🌾

Breaking Bread at the Mustard Seed with Stacey

🍞Just a Little Daily Bread…🍞

Joel 2:25 ~

“So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten…”

Sometimes the enemy doesn’t steal all at once.

Sometimes he steals slowly… piece by piece.

Your peace.

Your confidence.

Your joy.

Your passion.

Your hope.

Your courage to dream again.

Life happens. Disappointment hits. Betrayal wounds. Delays discourage. Fear whispers lies in the middle of the night. Before we know it, we’re surviving instead of living fully in the promises of God.

But hear this today, sweet friend…

The enemy may have touched your season, but he does not own your future! 🙌🏼

God is still restoring.

Still rebuilding.

Still healing.

Still breathing life into places that felt dead and forgotten.

What was stolen through heartbreak, failure, insecurity, fear, exhaustion, or loss is not beyond the reach of God’s redeeming hand.

The same God who restored Job…

The same God who parted seas…

The same God who rolled the stone away…

Is still moving today! 🙌🏼

This is not the season to sit defeated at the table of discouragement.

This is the season to rise up with bold faith and declare…

“I’m taking back my peace.

I’m taking back my joy.

I’m taking back my purpose.

I’m taking back my voice.

I’m taking back the promises God spoke over my life.”

The enemy only fights hard against people carrying something valuable! 🙌🏼

And friend… you are carrying purpose, calling, strength, wisdom, testimony, and Kingdom impact.

Do not let temporary battles make you forget eternal promises!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

God is not finished with your story.

Not even close!

Today, pray boldly.

Believe boldly.

Walk boldly.

Because restoration is coming to your table! 🙌🏼

Lord, thank You for being a God of restoration. Heal every wounded place in our hearts and restore the peace, joy, strength, and purpose that life has tried to steal from us. Help us walk boldly in faith and trust that what the enemy meant for harm, You will turn for good. Renew our minds, strengthen our spirits, and remind us that our story is still being written by Your loving hands. In Jesus’ name, Amen! 🤍

... Read moreIn my personal journey, I have found that life’s daily struggles often chip away at our inner peace and hope, much like the article beautifully describes with the enemy stealing piece by piece. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when disappointment and fear creep in, making survival feel like the only option. Yet, embracing the truth that restoration is possible can be a turning point. I’ve learned the power of praying boldly and declaring my faith daily, even when circumstances seem bleak. The promise in Joel 2:25 resonates deeply with me — the assurance that God restores what has been lost, no matter how long or painful the process. What stood out most is the encouragement to not sit defeated at the table of discouragement but to rise with bold faith and take back what has been stolen: peace, joy, purpose, and voice. This mindset shift has helped me to focus on God’s ongoing work in my life rather than dwelling on what I’ve lost to fear or setbacks. Sharing this message with others around me, I noticed that many struggle silently with similar feelings of loss and insecurity. Reminding each other that God's restoration is active brings hope and renewed strength. The enemy fights hardest against those who carry purpose and kingdom impact, so knowing we are valued and called fuels our resilience. If you’re reading this and feeling that heaviness, know it’s okay to acknowledge your wounds but also dare to believe that healing and restoration are coming. Take inspired action: pray, believe, and walk boldly in your faith. Affirm the promises God has spoken over your life daily. This approach transforms not only our mindset but the trajectory of our lives, as restoration arrives exactly when we choose not to give up. Ultimately, embracing God’s renewing power reminds us that our stories are still being written, and every setback is being turned for good. Holding onto this truth provides a solid foundation of hope and courage that carries us through hard seasons.

The Enemy wants us Stuck
I was laying down watching tv—and very casually, thoughts started to roll in my mind. I didn’t like them. So I got up ⬆️, turned off the 📺, and picked up my pen. I got the urge to write on what it is to 'Move Forward In God' because the enemy of our soul would prefer we be ➡️ stuck ⬅️.
