I don't know who we would demand it of.  First, Satan can not restore
seven-fold.  He never gave anything to begin with.  Second, Satan
cannot steal your blessing, you must give it to him.  Are we then to
turn around and demand of God seven-fold more of what we gave to
Satan.  We receive nothing from God except by grace.  Trusting in
God's faithfulness to restore is much different than demanding that
God do something because we messed up.
