The Year of Restoration

Prophetic Word for 2025

A few days ago the Lord began revealing to me that 2025 would be the Year of Restoration.

“So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten,The crawling locust,The consuming locust,And the chewing locust,My great army which I sent among you.” (Joel 2:25)

Many, if not all of us, have had things stolen from us. The locusts have stolen marriages, relationships, finances, jobs, spiritual vision, hope, passion and much more. But God is promising that HE is restoring what the enemy has taken.

Not only is He going to restore what the enemy has taken, He is going to abundantly bless us. He isn’t going to stop at restoring. See the following verse after the promise to restore what the locusts have eaten.

“You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied,And praise the name of the Lord your God,Who has dealt wondrously with you;And My people shall never be put to shame.” (Joel 2:26)

I am also reminded of what happened to the Israelites after they had their freedom restored. They left Egypt with not only their freedom but silver and gold. “Now the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked from the Egyptians articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing. And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.” (Exodus 12:35-36)

A holy boldness came upon the Israelites because of favor of God. Likewise, the favor of God coming upon His children in 2025 will result in a holy boldness to not only be restored but to be abundantly blessed.

Now, what position do we have to stand on these things? Is it because we have been good Christians? No! We can point to Galatians 3.“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree’), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” (Gal 3:13-14)

You see, why were the locusts there to begin with? God sent them because of the many sins of Israel. They repented and God promised to restore. Likewise, Jesus took the curse of judgement on Himself on the cross. Our hope and standing are on what He did.

In 2025 we can boldly receive restoration of what the locusts have taken. And we can boldly receive all the abundant blessings God has in store.
