=== God's Restoration Plan (03:37) ===

[00:00:00]  We have five kids Our kids are that one of my children Marcella is the COO of this ministry.
[00:00:09]  Yes One of my daughters is the executive producer of this show my assistant your assistant Brilliant.
[00:00:18]  They're our children the new children of our family and so we have a lot of children and we're adding to them all the time.
[00:00:27]  But God gave Lori her five babies back.
[00:00:38]  Yeah, you know, restoration doesn't always look like you think it's going to look.
[00:00:42]  It's not going to, you know, when you say restoration, sometimes I think we think, you know, in my mind, I know, I knew God is preparing me to be a mother to children.
[00:00:52]  But in my mind, I was like, well, that can't be.
[00:00:54]  I had a complete hysterectomy.
[00:00:56]  There's no way I can have children.
[00:00:58]  So in the natural sense, he doesn't do restoration the way you think it should be done.
[00:01:04]  He does it the way he sees fit for it to be done.
[00:01:07]  So it helps other people.
[00:01:09]  It's not just all about you and your restoration.
[00:01:11]  It's about other people's restoration.
[00:01:13]  It's about all of us together as a family of God being restored and reconciled back unto Jesus Christ.
[00:01:20]  That's what it's about.
[00:01:21]  God wants to restore everything.
[00:01:26]  He does.
[00:01:26]  He's lost.
[00:01:27]  And when these prophets used to come to me and say, God's going to restore everything, I couldn't believe it.
[00:01:32]  Yeah.
[00:01:33]  Steven, you've said it.
[00:01:36]  But we've had it said for many years.
[00:01:38]  I couldn't believe it.
[00:01:39]  I couldn't believe how could everything, I mean, even we had a girl's home at Heritage.
[00:01:46]  Here we have Lori's house ready to blossom.
[00:01:50]  And God has given me a wife.
[00:01:54]  I was so lonely for so long.
[00:01:59]  Every church I went to speak in, I would say, pray for a wife for me.
[00:02:06]  And God wants me going to say something.
[00:02:09]  You know, I wanted to say that if you really look through a biblical view, talking about the parallels, you can see your life in many ways actually parallels Job's life.
[00:02:21]  And you know what's crazy is that Job, whenever he was restored, he was given twice as much.
[00:02:26]  Whenever you study Job before he crashed and burned, so to speak, he was actually doing okay.
[00:02:35]  He was doing really well.
[00:02:37]  But yet he fell.
[00:02:39]  He crashed and burned.
[00:02:41]  And yet he was given twice as much.
[00:02:44]  And if you just want to go one step further, even the initials of your name, James, and what's your middle name?
[00:02:52]  Jason Baker.
[00:02:54]  Orson Wells.
[00:02:55]  No, I was named after Orson Welles.
[00:02:58]  James Orson Baker, J-O-B. Job.
[00:03:01]  And it says, and the Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends.
[00:03:05]  And also the Lord gave him twice as much as he had before.
[00:03:11]  Complete restoration.
[00:03:14]  And you're experiencing this right now.
[00:03:17]  Mama Laurie, you've already experienced it.
[00:03:20]  You were blessed with your five kids once again.
[00:03:23]  It says in Joel 2, 25 and 26, and I will compensate you for the years the locusts have eaten.
[00:03:30]  The local locust, the hopper locust, and the fledging locust, my great army, which I sent against you, you will eat abundantly and be satisfied once again.
