Bless Francis Myles for God revealing restraining orders to him. There is a defensive aspect to restraints. It gives the believer protection, and the concept of restraints protects our authority. 

At some point, most people ask themselves why there was a tree in the garden that God had forbidden. God’s restraint allows us to have authority in the earth when we honor it with our obedience. For years we studied this concept in the form of forbidden areas but found it much more understandable when it is as simple as “restraints give us protection!”
