This message centers on the concept of spiritual restoration and returning to the joy of our salvation. Drawing from Psalm 51:10-12, where King David cries out after his sin with Bathsheba, we explore what it means to ask God to restore the joy of our salvation. The message challenges us to examine whether we still carry that same fire and passion we had when we first encountered Christ. Many of us can remember the day we gave our lives to the Lord—that overwhelming desire to tell everyone about Jesus, that sense of freedom and deliverance. But life has a way of slowly diminishing that flame through disappointments, wounds, and the daily grind. The beautiful promise here is that God wants to restore us to factory defaults, taking us back to that original design He had for our lives. This isn't just about feeling good; it's about experiencing the liberty, deliverance, and prosperity of God's kingdom that came with our salvation. The word restore means to ascend—God isn't just patching us up, He's lifting us out of our wounds and making us whole again. As we move through this year, we're invited into a journey of restoration that touches every area: spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, and relational. The question we must ask ourselves is whether we're ready to lean on Jesus and let Him surgically remove what doesn't belong, replacing it with His presence.
