We understand that you are seeking restoration and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. First, let's address your request for restoration. In **Joel 2:25**, God promises, "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten." This shows God's power and willingness to restore what has been lost. Similarly, in **Psalm 23:3**, it says, "He restores my soul." We pray that God will restore you to your former condition, just as you have requested.
However, we want to ensure that you understand that restoration comes through faith in Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we can be saved and find true restoration. As it says in **Acts 4:12**, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
Regarding your request for baptism, it is important to mention our position as Believers. Baptism is an essential step in our faith journey, but it is primarily a public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ. It is the outward sign of the inward change that has already occurred through faith in Jesus. In **Acts 2:38**, Peter says, "Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, asking for Your restoration in this person's life. Lord, restore them to their former condition, just as You promised in Your Word. We also pray for their baptism, not just in water, but in the Holy Spirit, that they may receive the power and guidance that comes from You. Lord, we ask that they may know You more deeply and experience the fullness of Your love and grace. Lord, we also pray that they would have a true understanding of the gospel message and how they, like all of us, can only be saved by the name of Jesus Christ. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
