The Road to Restoration with Sergio De La Mora

What really happened on the Saturday between the Cross and the Resurrection? In this episode of The Road to Restoration, we dive deep into the often-overlooked day between Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday — the day Jesus descended, confronted darkness, and claimed victory. Titled "Divine Payback," this conversation explores how Jesus didn't rest in the tomb — He waged war in the spirit realm, changing the course of eternity. Join us as we unpack why this moment defines Jesus not just as Savior, but as a true Revolutionary — one who didn't just challenge systems on earth but disrupted spiritual strongholds for good. Whether you're seeking deeper understanding or fresh fire in your faith, this episode will remind you that restoration often begins in the silence — and the battle is already won.

"Don't Tell Me He Can't Do It". What we believe has the power to open the door to opportunities or shut them off. This episode is based on the story of Job, a very wealthy man who lost everything, but despite all of his losses, he never blamed God for his condition. In fact, Job 42:1-2 says: “I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you." In this chapter, God restores to Job all he had in the past and more. God restored him double of what the enemy stole from him. I believe God wants to do that for you today. It starts by believing that God can do anything, and no one can stop Him.

A crossroad is a stage in the restoration process of taking an important decision. Like the two men that were hanging on a cross next to Jesus, they had the opportunity to make a decision of either, humble themselves and ask for forgiveness or to justify their actions and settle with their situation. Repentance attracts the heart of God and He can only work with a heart that is honest and ready to take hands off of the steering wheel. Maybe today you are about to take an important decision in your job or in your relationships, just remember that decision can draw us near to God or drift us apart. Give this episode a listen to learn more about repentance. Thank you for listening to The Road To Restoration.

In this episode we have as a very special guest Ruben Cervantes, one of the members who was present at the very first worship service of the Asbury Revival that just happened in February 2023. Ruben has been a faithful servant of God for many years, and his presence at the revival was no coincidence. What's even more remarkable is that Ruben had a vision of what was going to happen at the Asbury Revival eight years ago. In his vision, Ruben saw a sea of people from all walks of life coming together to worship God, with a powerful move of the Holy Spirit transforming lives and healing brokenness. This vision was so vivid that Ruben knew he had to share it with others, and he began to pray for the vision to become a reality. Fast forward eight years, and Ruben was one of the first to experience this incredible move of God at the Asbury Revival. He witnessed firsthand the power of God transforming lives and healing brokenness, just as he had seen in his vision. Ruben's testimony is a powerful reminder that God is faithful and that He can use anyone to bring about His plans and purposes. Welcome to The Road To Restoration.

The restoration of finances is an important theme in the Bible, and we can find a powerful example in the life of Job. Even though Job suffered a great loss in his life, including his family and his wealth, God restored him and gave him much more than what he had lost. "…the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before” says in Job 42:10. This story is a powerful demonstration of God's love and generosity. He not only restores us, but also blesses us with more than what we could ever imagine. However, it is important to remember that the restoration of finances is not only a material matter, but also spiritual and emotional. God wants to restore us completely, in all aspects of our lives. If we trust Him and keep our faith in the midst of adversity, we can be sure that He will restore us and bless us abundantly. Thank you for listening to The Road To Restoration.

Restoring lost years is a process that can take time and patience. However, once we decide to start that process, we can experience incredible transformation in our lives. Often this restoration process involves working on areas of our lives that have been hurt or damaged in the past. But with God's help and the support of those around us, we can heal those wounds and recover what was lost. Restoring the lost years is not just about recovering what has been lost, but also about growing and moving towards a better future. With faith and perseverance we can experience a true restoration in our lives. Thank you for listening to The Road To Restoration.

In this episode Pastor Sergio De La Mora talks about a story in the Bible about Jesus and Lazarus. In this record of a great miracle of Jesus, we see that restoration does not simply end in the miracle, there is a process after to be completely restored. When Lazarus comes out of the tomb alive after being dead for days, Jesus gives a command to the people around him, which is “Unwrap him and let him go!”. Restoration for your entire life involves the people you have and those around you. You have the power to restore the life of another person when you see them with eyes of grace and forgiveness, just as Jesus sees them, that is really unwrapping people from their bandages. Thank you once again for listening to The Road To Restoration.

We all have dreams, and perhaps many of them we have already seen fulfilled but there are many dreams that have died or other people have come to destroy them with words, with bad intentions, or even ourselves have turned them off due to our own disbelief in ourselves, but God is a God of more dreams. He wants to restore you completely, including those dreams that died when you made a bad decision. God is ready to give you more, if you decide to believe. In this episode, Pastor Sergio De La Mora talks about the restoration of dreams in The Road To Restoration.

Trust is a very easy word to say, but at the same time difficult to live. When you're not sure of what the future may bring, trust becomes the process of surrender of control to God or to another person. Trust begins by having peace and asking God for the strength to give our entire life to Him. Despite failing and often losing trust, be it from your partner, your team, your church, or your family, God can restore and heal the wounds of any mistake. In this episode, Ps. Sergio De La Mora and special guest, Ps. Tyler Minton, talk about trust at The Road to Restoration.

What is your vision? The power of the vision allows us to focus on the greater image, the future full of dreams and promises God has for us. Is the vision that will allow us to say no to things that are convenient at the moment that will deprive us from enjoying the blessings coming ahead. The next time you are tempted to sin or tempted to get out of the road, ask yourself this question; What is my vision? Is this going to help me build the vision I have or is this for temporal pleasure?

As we travel on the Road, it becomes evident that the key to God's forgiveness & restoration hinges on GENUINE REPENTANCE. In today's podcast Pastor Sergio de la Mora is joined by Pastor Russell Evans from the Planet Shakers Movement in Australia and they further explore the essential struggle a caterpillar must endure in order to blossom into a butterfly. Restoration begins with repentance and in scripture we come across men & women that have sinned, have fallen short, and yet found God's redemption placing them on to a greater position than before. God does not resist the sinner, He invites the sinner, What God resist is the PROUD. Buckle up as Pastor Sergio & Pastor Russell take us through this bumpy ride as we navigate through the Road to Restoration.

The test of time means waiting… Waiting for the right time to do what we were called to do. When we act out of time, we step out of authority, and we start to try taking control of our lives, when it only belongs to God. So wait for the right time, not only you will honor Him, but your faith will be made stronger. Let's learn more about time in this episode of The Road to Restoration.

Marriage and family are often times the hardest places to lead, because it's private, its personal, it's behind closed doors. If we can't manage our homes well, how can we manage the Church that's God's? This test even though sounds hard is not impossible, hear more about this test in this episode of The Road To Restoration. 

Loneliness is real and often times is in this moments of loneliness where we are going to take big decisions. Leadership requires us to be the example, and sometimes being the example means being the only one making the hard decisions. Although it appears we are lonely, remember God is always with us. Join us to hear about this test with Pastor Sergio de la Mora in The Road to Restoration Podcast.

The test of commitment is a vital test that appears along your leadership journey. This test reminds us how we are following Jesus. Are you following Him because of the commitment you have with your friends? Because of how good your life gets when you follow him, or are you really committed to following Jesus because of who He is? Learn more about this Test of Commitment in this chapter of The Road to Restoration.

Jealousy reveals the condition of our hearts, when we are jealous of other people and what they have, we loose focus on the future that God has for us. God loves you, the same way he loves everybody and He will always fulfill the desires of our hearts.

When you become a leader, criticism enters the scene. When we become people of influence there's always going to be someone who tries to shame us and make comments about us that are unfair, but is in this test that God wants us to wait and be silent, for there is a bigger blessing ahead.

We all fall and we all go through the test of failing, but we must remember, failing might feel like the end of an era for some of us, but it could actually be the beginning of  a greater expansion in your influence, your leadership, and your future. In this episode God wants us to know the huge impact of repentance. Listen and enjoy to this new episode of The Road to Restoration.
