Have You Ever Felt Restored?

What helps you feel most restored? Not just relaxed or refreshed—but truly restored?

Let’s pause and consider what it means to be restored. According to Merriam-Webster, to

restore means:

● to give back or return

● to bring back into existence or use

● to return to a former or original state

● to renew

● to put again in possession of something

God desires to restore you fully—to your true identity, your divine nature, your original purpose. He wants to put you, again, in possession of truth in the inward parts. Your true essence. His original design, of who He created you to be: Realigned with His image, His heart, His nature, His Character. Complete in the One who made you whole.

Restoration is about returning.

We all need to return to what matters most. To come out of this noisy, distracted world,

constantly striving, producing and consuming. Exchanging our one priceless life for... what

exactly?

The journey to wholeness requires stillness. Intention. Beholding. Truth in the inward parts, as it was in the beginning...

Restoration is entered through the door of Christ. In faith and obedience. A sacred rhythm, and

daily practice of receiving manna from heaven, paying attention, and saying yes to God’s

mandate to “Come out of her My people.” Revelation 18:4

Rest is another mandate. To enter into the Sabbath rest, which was made for man, not man for

the Sabbath. Is our starting point. We worked from rest, we didn’t work to rest.

Do you want that? A time and place to return to deep rest, away from the endless cycle of

doing and getting.

Then you have to stop. Stop running, spinning, sleepwalking, endlessly doing, filling up time,

milling around as my old friend, Dianne would say.

That’s why I created Pleroma Sanctuary.

It’s a sacred, set apart place for restoration. A place where you can step away from the noise

and enter into the presence of God. A place to remember who you are and whose you are.

A place to be restored

Come.
