Glorious Restoration – Dyed4you Art

Glorious Restoration reminds us that God is the restorer of our souls. He brings forth life from death and beauty from ashes. We cannot fathom all He is able to do in and through us. We have but to yield, then watch as He moves.

  • Psalm 23:2-3 (VOICE) He provides me rest in rich, green fields beside streams of refreshing water. He soothes my fears; He makes me whole again…
  • Isaiah 61:1-3 (TPT) The mighty Spirit of Lord Yahweh is wrapped around me because Yahweh has anointed me, as a messenger to preach good news to the poor. He sent me to heal the wounds of the brokenhearted, to tell captives, “You are free,” and to tell prisoners, “Be free from your darkness.” I am sent to announce a new season of Yahweh’s grace and a time of God’s recompense on his enemies, to comfort all who are in sorrow, to strengthen those crushed by despair who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful bouquet in the place of ashes, the oil of bliss instead of tears, and the mantle of joyous praise instead of the spirit of heaviness. Because of this, they will be known as Mighty Oaks of Righteousness, planted by Yahweh as a living display of his glory.
  • Amos 9:11-15 (VOICE) After that happens, on the day I choose, I will rebuild the dilapidating house of David from its ruins, Mend the holes in it, rebuild its wreckage, and restore it just the way it used to be. Then they may possess what remains of Edom, including every person among the outsiders who have been called by My name.

A Prophetic Nugget from “Daily Downloads from Heaven” by Meghan Williams is connected to this. It’s called “The River of God is for You.”

Revelation 22:1 (TPT) Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, flowing with water clear as crystal, continuously pouring out from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

Beloved, My flow is pure. No pollution or debris mar these waters. No sin or unrighteous judgment taint the joyous love flowing from My heart, or the refreshing waters from My throne. So receive, and drink deeply that you might be quenched and renewed.

For I AM the fountain of life, and those who drink of Me will be satisfied. My life sustains. My water restores. In Me all things are made new. So look to My throne, and trust in the Lamb. The river of God is for you.

David Brymer’s song Restoration (Live) from IHOP’s Onething album called Pursuit of the Holy is connected to this. The song is based on the beginning of Isaiah 61, and is a gentle reminder that God brings restoration. He takes our pain, gives us a new identity, removes our shame and fills us with joy. This declaration of His heart for us reminds us to step into the fullness of the soul-deep restoration He has already provided for. It is an invitation from us to the Lord asking Him to move in our hearts and to have His way as He brings our God given restoration. 

Another Prophetic Nugget from “Daily Downloads from Heaven” by Meghan Williams is connected to this. It’s called “YHVH Rapha (the Lord your Healer).”

Psalm 23:2 (VOICE) He provides me rest in rich, green fields beside streams of refreshing water…

Beloved, allow My healing waters to rush over you. I AM YHVH Rapha – the Lord your healer, and I pour out My love over you to bring healing and refreshing. Rest in My love and be restored. 

Just as dried, cracked clay is given new life when water rejuvenates it, so beloved, are you fundamentally transformed by My healing flow. So receive. You don’t have to earn it, or convince Me of your worth, for it is yours. Simply rest in My presence and receive.

Psalm 23:1-6 (VOICE) The Eternal is my shepherd, He cares for me always. He provides me rest in rich, green fields beside streams of refreshing water. He soothes my fears; He makes me whole again, steering me off worn, hard paths to roads where truth and righteousness echo His name. Even in the unending shadows of death’s darkness, I am not overcome by fear. Because You are with me in those dark moments, near with Your protection and guidance, I am comforted. You spread out a table before me, provisions in the midst of attack from my enemies; You care for all my needs, anointing my head with soothing, fragrant oil, filling my cup again and again with Your grace. Certainly Your faithful protection and loving provision will pursue me where I go, always, everywhere. I will always be with the Eternal, in Your house forever.

A testimony called “The Message of Restoration” from Elisa Eaton of Waiting in the Wings is connected to this.

I recently had a conversation with the Father regarding the season of life I’ve found myself in. I confessed that I was finding this season challenging because it seemed like He had me spending so much time and energy focusing on myself and my life. Logically, I understand why; I’ve spent most of my life so focused on caring for others, that there are many areas of my life that are in ruins. I most certainly need the restoration that God is bringing!

I had to admit that I’m finding it painful to feel so full of the Word and many life-giving revelations, but I’m not currently spending as much time as I would like pouring that out onto others. However, the Father’s response to my reflections left me speechless. He said, “I’m empowering you to rebuild your life right now so that you don’t lose sight of the fact that the message of the gospel is for you first. You can’t give until you first receive.” 

And suddenly, it was so clear why He has been leading me in the direction that He has. If my life is to be a message that reflects the truth of God’s Word and the abundant life that it brings, then I must first position myself to fully receive the power of the Kingdom in my life. I saw that while I may have a desire to fill my cup with the water of the Word, I don’t always allow myself to take the full drink that I need and receive my own portion of God’s refreshing. As with other areas of my life, I am quick to think about the needs of others while neglecting my own.

While self-focus can certainly be a concern in our fallen human nature, we must be careful to strive for balance in all things. For how can we carry the message of restoration, unless we first permit God to mend the fallen places in our lives? Now, this doesn’t mean that we have to have our lives completely together before we run with the message of the gospel. Instead, we must not lose sight of the fact that our life is the message. We become the tablet that God writes His Word upon.

The power of God’s Word is capable of bringing transformative power in our lives and at a level that is far higher than what we have seen in present times. We are not just here to share the testimony of saints of the past and those around us. We’re here to receive the Kingdom, and then testify to the abundant life that we find in Christ. When we fully receive the Word, we most certainly position ourselves to effectively pour it back out onto the world.

John 10:10 (NKJV) The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have [it] more abundantly.

Amos 9:11-15 (VOICE) After that happens, on the day I choose, I will rebuild the dilapidating house of David from its ruins, Mend the holes in it, rebuild its wreckage, and restore it just the way it used to be. Then they may possess what remains of Edom, including every person among the outsiders who have been called by My name.

Another Prophetic Nugget from “Daily Downloads from Heaven” by Meghan Williams is connected to this. It’s called “I AM the Restorer of Your Soul.”

Psalm 23:3 (NKJV) He restores my soul…

Beloved, I bring new life in areas where you’ve been wounded. I breathe hope on dreams that have begun to die. I give strength to your areas of weakness. I AM the restorer of your soul. 

So look to Me when you are weary. Cling to Me when hopelessness abounds. Trust in Me when darkness tries to close in around you, for I AM faithful. Yes, look to Me, for I AM God.

A series four of Prophetic Nuggets from “Daily Downloads from Heaven” by Meghan Williams are connected to this. They’re based on Isaiah 61:1-3 (TPT)

The mighty Spirit of Lord Yahweh is wrapped around me because Yahweh has anointed me, as a messenger to preach good news to the poor. He sent me to heal the wounds of the brokenhearted, to tell captives, “You are free,” and to tell prisoners, “Be free from your darkness.” I am sent to announce a new season of Yahweh’s grace and a time of God’s recompense on his enemies, to comfort all who are in sorrow, to strengthen those crushed by despair who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful bouquet in the place of ashes, the oil of bliss instead of tears, and the mantle of joyous praise instead of the spirit of heaviness. Because of this, they will be known as Mighty Oaks of Righteousness, planted by Yahweh as a living display of his glory.

The first Prophetic Nugget is called “Set Free.

Isaiah 61:1 (TPT) …He sent me to heal the wounds of the brokenhearted, to tell captives, “You are free,” and to tell prisoners, “Be free from your darkness.” 

Beloved, you’ve been set free. Set free from shame and heartache. Set free from pain and fear. No more regrets, My precious one, for I AM making all things new. So embrace the light. Watch the darkness melt away. Be made whole. 

I have plans for you, beloved, and they are good plans. Wait and see. So trust your heart in My hands, and step forward into the new with Me. Resist the urge to keep looking back, for more glory is ahead. Embrace what comes, and trust in Me as I manifest My plans.

The second Prophetic Nugget is called “It is the Day of Restoration.

Isaiah 61:2-3 (TPT) I am sent to announce a new season of Yahweh’s grace and a time of God’s recompense on his enemies, to comfort all who are in sorrow, to strengthen those crushed by despair who mourn…

Beloved, walk in My grace. Dry your tears, for a new season is upon you. The joy of the Lord is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10), and joy is found in My presence (Psalm 16:11). So abide with Me, My fair one, and be refreshed and filled.

For no longer will you be bruised and crushed, beloved. There is healing in My wings. So press in close, and hide in My shadow as you renew your strength. It is the day of restoration. Find your hope in Me.

The third Prophetic Nugget is called “Watch as I Manifest Renewal.

Isaiah 61:3 (TPT) …to give them a beautiful bouquet in the place of ashes, the oil of bliss instead of tears, and the mantle of joyous praise instead of the spirit of heaviness…

Beloved, I don’t patch things with a bandaid, or simply smooth things out so you don’t see the trials that were there before, no – I AM a God of radical transformation. I bring beauty from ashes, and joy from mourning. Nothing is too hard for Me. 

Resist the heaviness that would try to cling to you, and embrace the mantle of joy that is yours. Burst forth in praise – in hopeful expectation, and watch as I manifest renewal in your life.

The fourth Prophetic Nugget is called “A Living Display of My Faithfulness.”

Isaiah 61:3 (TPT) …Because of this, they will be known as Mighty Oaks of Righteousness, planted by Yahweh as a living display of his glory.

Beloved, stand proud as a testament to My faithfulness – a living display of My grace and My glory. You will be as steadfast as a mighty oak with roots that go down deep, for I AM your foundation, and you’ve found your hope in Me. 

So raise your hands and wave them high, an offering to Me. Be lifted up on eagles wings, and find new life in Me. I AM your strength, and I’m your song – your cry, your victory. And in My grace your hope is found, as you remain steadfast in Me.

A prophetic download from Annette Fleenor is connected to this. It’s called “Radiant Bride.” 

There is a bridal gown – white and beautiful, covered in glittery jewels making it shine bright. And as I stand looking at it, I am struck with the thought, “how can I possibly wear this?” I feel so unworthy.  I feel the weight of shame from my past – innocence lost, mistakes made.  The loud voices saying “You are not enough.”

Then suddenly I feel a change around me, like a flicker of hope. It’s then I sense the Father near me, and I feel His penetrating stare – it’s not one of rejection, but instead one of pure love and delight. His eyes meet mine as I finally am able to look up at Him.  A liquid warmth fills my entire body as I meet His gaze. My heart skips, and I take pleasure in the moment. For the first time, I begin to see His heart for me. 

He tenderly explains to me that the I am worthy to be His bride. He reminds me that I turned to Him and away from my old life, and now I’ve received complete atonement.  Giving Him my heart meant giving it all – even my past.  And His refreshing and renewing began at that moment. His precious blood covers all – every area is made clean.  

He speaks again to me with His eyes saying, “You are made white as snow. You are My bride – sparkling white and beautiful in My sight.  I only see the new you!” He takes my hands and presses them to His heart willing me to see myself as He does. All at once I see myself as His glorious bride, adorned in my full, white gown. Excitement enters my heart again, and the anticipation of this moment with Him is so intoxicating I don’t want to leave this place.

He gently but firmly tells me to remember this moment and to come back often.  He knows the enemy wishes to replay my mistakes in my mind often to discourage me from thinking I am the bride. He carefully places His seal upon my finger, reminding me that I am His and He is mine. As a queen and king wear their royal diadems, I am to do likewise – covering my head with truth that lies will not enter. So when the questions arise, I am to vanquish those thoughts captive and allow them to be removed as far as the east is from the west. 

With trembling excitement, I step into the beautiful, flowing bridal gown that is waiting for me.  It fits perfectly, like it was made just for me. The gown seems to join both my body and my mind. It starts to radiate a natural beauty from within that manifests on the outside. The pure light is so strong I can barely look at it with my natural eyes. The light reflects everywhere I turn. I began to dance for joy – the feeling is overwhelming.  He watches me with a huge smile and laughs as I rejoice in this wonderful moment.

It’s then – as I join in thought and deed with Him – that I start to radiate pure light. I then understand – let the two become one. I hear Him say, “Let Me shine through you.  Let the excitement return to you – much like the anticipation of the bride seeing her groom and Him seeing her for the first time. Come away with Me, My beloved – for you are Mine and I am yours!“

I feel more than restored – it’s like a complete washing of my heart and my mind.  I am made new in Him!  I am worthy of being the bride!  I align myself with my Beloved, and I step into my God-ordained role. I wear the bridal gown with joy and freedom. 

Song of Solomon 6:3 (NKJV) I am my beloved’s, And my beloved is mine. He feeds his flock among the lilies.

Isaiah 62:3 (NKJV) You shall also be a crown of glory In the hand of the Lord, And a royal diadem In the hand of your God.

2 Corinthians 10:5 (NKJV) casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

A final Prophetic Nugget from “Daily Downloads from Heaven” by Meghan Williams is connected to this. It’s called “Be Kissed by the Wind of My Spirit.”

Psalm 23:2-3 (VOICE) He provides me rest in rich, green fields beside streams of refreshing water. He soothes my fears; He makes me whole again…

Beloved, rest in the lush landscape of My love. Be kissed by the wind of My Spirit, and allow it – that the gentle breeze, My very breath – to stir you, bringing restoration and life. Be still, precious one, and be intentional to pause in this place of healing. 

Resist the urge to allow the things of life to force you into activity when wholeness is found in My presence. Rest in Me. Be refreshed by the water of My Word. Be strengthened by My love. Release your cares and worries, let go of any fears, and simply wait on Me. Beloved, I AM the restorer of your soul, so rest in Me.
