REFLECTION: Restoration is Transformation

Restoration comes only after devastation. A repairer cannot mend what is not broken. To be broken, we must first fall, be crushed, torn apart, pulled in opposite directions, or shattered into pieces. To restore is to bring back the original life and purpose of what was broken—to breathe new life into it, to revive it to the way it was intended from the very beginning. None of us are perfect clay pots, flawlessly shaped and untouched; we are all vessels, molded and reshaped through the trials, ready to be restored to the beauty and design of our Maker’s original plan.

If we do not pass through the furnace of brokenness, how will we ever know the full power of restoration from YAHUAH, our HaMashiv, the ONE Who Restores? He does not merely mend what is broken—He transforms it, shaping us with His hands so that we emerge more beautiful than we were before. The cracks, the shattered pieces, and the trials of our lives become the canvas for His glory. All that is required of us is a willing heart, open to be restored by Him.

We will never be perfect, but in the hands of YAHUAH, our Restorer, we can be made perfectly whole. Every trial and tribulation you endure will one day shine as a testimony, leaving behind scars that tell the story of His restoration and unfailing love.

TESHUVAH Repent: from Devastation to Restoration

In order for us to be Restored, we first must be Revived by Ruach HaKodesh, and then we need to Repent of everything that broke us and tear us apart and made us these broken vessels. Ask the KING IN THE FIELD to show you what you need to repent of in your field. Surrender every broken part you have to Him. Remember we are made out of dust, so if the King is in the Field, He is moving in us, in our field. The truth in this story is, He already know your suffering, He already know your pain, your loss and your hurt. He counts your tears and He know about your brokenness. We cannot hide anything from Him, but we can surrender everything to Him.

He will expose the areas if you allow Him to point out your iniquities, and you can reflect on Psalm 51:2: “Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.” This is a crucial step, which most mainstream churches do not address, and it represents true repentance. We need to confront our sins, deliberate acts of wrongdoing, and our moral wickedness and rebellion against YAHUAH’s law and moral order. Practicing TESHUVAH allows YAHUSHUA to cleanse us with His blood and restore us with the glory of YAHUAH, our HaMashiv—the ONE Who Restores.

Guilt repentance is also not true repentance. Feeling guilty of a sin, repenting and not stop doing it, is not true repentance. We cannot repent out of guild to get a free ticket of forgiveness and not stop sinning. True repentance means true commitment to sin no more.

We need to deal with our sins, deliberate act of wrongdoing, and our moral wickedness and rebellion against Yahuah’s law and moral order. We need to TESHUVAH and let YAHUSHUA wash us with His blood and restore us with the Glory of YAHUAH, our HaMashiv – The ONE Who Restore. In order to be restore, we need to have true repentance and sin no more.

BERACHAH Blessing: Transformation to Sanctification

The blessing of restoration comes from what the Father creates in our brokenness with the pieces we surrender to Him. When we trust Him with our brokenness, He restores it piece by piece. He breathes new life into each fragment, “name-branding” it as a Heavenly Masterpiece. Our brokenness is transformed into beauty from ashes, and we become living testimonies of how the Father can take shattered pieces and restore them into works of art—a gem in His hands.

Our restoration not only renews us but also blesses others, giving them hope and a reminder that restoration is a season of rejoicing, a journey into new life and fresh beginnings.

SCRIPTURE: PSALM 14:1-7

I was waiting for Father to give me a Scripture connecting our brokenness with Him as our HaMashiv—the ONE Who Restores. Then Ruach HaKodesh urged me to look at Psalm 14. Since today is the 14th day of Elul, I thought it wasn’t a bad idea—and what a surprise it turned out to be!

“The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no Elohim’! They acted corruptly; they did hatefully in deeds; there is none doing good. YAHWEH looked down from Heaven on the sons of mankind, to see if there were any discerning and seeking Elohim: they have all turned aside; together they have become filthy; there is none doing good, not even one! Have all doers of iniquity not known, eating My people as they eat bread? They have not called on YAHWEH. There they feared with dread, for Elohim is in the righteous generation. You have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, for YAHWEH is his refuge. Who will give out of Zion the salvation (Y’shua*) of Israel? When YAHWEH brings back (H7725 – restore) the captivity of His people, Jacob shall rejoice; Israel shall be glad.”

Psalm 14 shows the devastation of sin and brokenness—but it doesn’t end there. It points us to the promise of Yahuah as HaMashiv, the One who restores.

This chapter sounds like the world we are living in today—filled with corruption, hateful deeds, and none doing what is good. Beloved, we are in a privileged season of being restored by the King in the Field, repenting of our sinful wrongdoings, and walking in the fullness of what He intended for us.

Like Jacob, we can rejoice and be glad because in our restoration process, we gain beauty for ashes and can testify to the hope we have in our Messiah—our King in the Field, Yahushua, our Savior and Deliverer—who holds us in His hands and mends our brokenness with His everlasting Glory.
