What has the Locust Eaten?

Joel 2:25a (AMP)
²⁵ And I will restore or replace for you the years that the locust has eaten—the hopping locust, the stripping locust, and the crawling locust,.

Have you ever felt like you let your opportunities pass by? Have you ever felt like you missed it? Have you ever felt like you failed to grasp hold of the dream God placed within you? Have you ever felt like I should have??????

Has time passed and you feel like the years have been eaten by life itself?

Then this scripture in Joel 2 is for you. God will restore those years. In other words He will roll back time and allow you to fulfill your dream and the destiny He has for you.

I love the statement:

Destiny delayed is not destiny denied!

Whether circumstances beyond your control, your own choices, procrastination, fear or anything else has caused your dreams and desires to be delayed, is not a factor. What matters is that the destiny God has laid out for you is still there.  The dreams He placed within you are not out of your reach.

When you Love the Lord God with all that is within you and you lay your dreams at His feet, He will Bless them and return them and open incredible doors that no one can shut.

The problem is that we think we have to prove ourselves.  When a person wants to be on a team of academic or athletic competitors, they must try out to see how good they are.  But if you are the coach or the owners’ child, you make the team no matter what.

When it comes to our destiny, we do not have to prove ourselves or try out.  We are the Kings Kid.  We have the DNA of Jesus flowing through our veins.  We just receive the dreams God has Blessed and given back to us and go forward knowing it is in His name and through His power we can do it.

All the Father is looking for is for us to say YES!  Yes, I will dream the dreams you have placed deep within me! Yes, I will be consistent in praying and preparing! Yes, I will rest in the knowledge that you have the way and the route all laid out!

I think it is interesting that we get bogged down in time when in fact in Heaven there is no time.  When we think it is too late, God says:

Romans 11:29 (AMP)
²⁹ For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.]

Ha, His call and His destiny for you have not changed and He can open all the right doors.  Be persistent and faithful as you walk steadily in the light of the revelation He is giving you.  Bloom where you are but keep walking toward the goal.

Remember Jesus prepared 30 years for the recorded three years of His life.

He will restore the years::::::::: let Him!!!!!!

Father, forgive us when we get so caught up in time that we think our opportunities have passed by.  Forgive us when we dwell in the land of if…if only I had, etc.  Father God, Lord God Almighty nothing is too hard for you. You can order circumstances and situations to fall in line with your will if we will just surrender and understand it is all about you and bringing souls into you kingdom and making disciples.  What a wonder you are.  What a plan you have. I declare dreams fulfilled in the name of Jesus Christ who fulfilled all the requirements. Amen

Love and Follow Jesus!
