Summary

In this encouraging message, Pastor John F. Hannah teaches that no matter what loss, damage, or weakening you have experienced, God is preparing you for total recovery with increase. Looking at the life of Job, he demonstrates how God places a protective wall around His people and places strict limits on adversity. By guarding our words, remaining faithful, holding onto worship, and interceding for others, believers position themselves for double restoration and a future that far exceeds the past.
