When You Suffer Losses, Recovering Your Losses!!!

Have you ever been so heartbroken that you wept until you could weep no more? Anyone who has lost a spouse or a family member or a dream knows what it is to have the tears flow until you say, "I can't cry anymore. I've got no more tears."

First Samuel 30 tells how David, a man after God's own heart, reacted when he lost everything. When he returned from battle, he discovered that the enemy had slipped in and burned the city where he lived and taken his family captive. Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices and wept, until they had no more power to weep.... But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God (vv. 3,4,6 NKJV).

When we suffer losses, we aren't without weapons. We have the Bible, we live a life built upon faith rather than sight, and miracles are accessible to us. I've been in the valley of the shadow of death and felt such heartache that I thought I would die. So what I'm talking about is no fairy tale. I've experienced loss. Through David's experience, God shows us four supernatural ways to recover what the enemy has stolen from us.

The first supernatural way David recovered his loss was to inquire of the Lord. David could have become bitter and turned his back on God, but he didn't. He didn't inquire of others who were suffering as he suffered because they could have only offered their tears. Instead, David went to God. When your life falls apart and your losses are mounting, do as David did. Call on the Lord, and He will hear you, just as He heard David.

The second supernatural way to recover your losses is to encourage yourself in the Lord. David turned to God for strength (I Samuel 30:6). You can't handle discouragement and loss alone. Psalm 27:14 says, Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart.

The third supernatural way to recover your losses is to get someone to go into a prayer of agreement with you. David found an army of 600 men who were willing to go into agreement with him to defeat the enemy and recover all that had been stolen (I Samuel 30:18,19).

A prayer of agreement is not to be taken lightly. It means finding someone who understands that all of life is spiritually based, someone who will agree with you in prayer according to Matthew 18:19 and not come out of that agreement until God answers.

The fourth supernatural way to recover your losses is to fight until you win. First Timothy 6:12 NKJV says, Fight the good fight of faith. No one is going to fight your battle for you. You're going to have to fight it. And it's not easy. Expect the devil to hate you and fight you constantly because what you have as a believer is so great. Realize that you're in spiritual warfare and that satan will do everything in his power to pull you down. But as you stand by faith, you win! The Bible says, David recovered all! (I Samuel 30:19).
