Restoration House Ministries

Bookmark and Share

While listening to this song about moving on from a failed relationship, think about how the world system has let you down. Think about how all the efforts you have made to make a name for yourself have come up still needing more effort.  There is a way to let go of the past and to move on to 'what is next' in your life.  Say good-bye to the past and hello to something even greater.  God really does love you and He has a plan and purpose for you.  Try not to think about His plan and purpose in terms of normal definitions.  Just let your mind go and trust Him.  Trust Him while you're listening to this song.  Trust Him later on today.  Trust Him next week when things are going good or bad.   He'll take it from there.

Our Purpose:

God’s truth and this calling for RHM are focused on entering His rest, although it may apear we are multipurposed at times, God uses changing methods (or variables) to reveal the continuing goodness of our God. 

Just as a believer can enter into His rest, so can a ministry or a group of believers. As we live out our relationship with Christ as our head, ministers and ministries alike, learn of this simplicity of falling to the ground and allowing Him to be our strength.

Restoration House Ministries could just as easily be called “Luke 5:11 Ministries”. We have surrendered our lives teaching the things revealed to us in this passage and others. Luke 5:1-11 tells the story of the calling of the first disciples. One day while at the Sea of Galilee Jesus sees two boats, one belonging to Simon. He gets in and asks him to put out from shore a little. From inside Simon’s boat, He taught the people.

When He had finished speaking, He told Simon to put out into the deep water and let down the nets for a catch. He tells Jesus they had fished all night long, working hard and they hadn’t caught a thing. But Simon continued, saying to Jesus that because He said so, he would let down his nets.

When Simon let down his nets, as Jesus had said to do, the catch was so tremendous that his nets began to break and his boat began to sink. He called for the other boat and while helping, there were so many fish their nets began to break and it almost sank as well.

This is where most Christians “go into the ministry”. We stick our finger in our Bibles and begin to minister. The first word from God can tragically be the last for a Christian without a ministry father.

These men had just caught the greatest catch of their lives as professional fishermen but they do something really strange at this point. Jesus tells Simon not to be afraid and that from now on he would catch men. In response they pulled their boats on shore and left everything to follow Him. Have you ever thought about what they left behind. They left their huge catch of fish, probably their largest ever. They left their livelihood as fishermen and to seal the deal, the left their boats and all their equipment. They even left their fathers to follow Him.

Restoration House Ministries is dedicated to taking you to that place, as we continually go there ourselves.

Being open and honest with anyone we come in contact, our commitment to you and hope is to be able to share with you the great mysteries God has revealed to us. We do this by yielding continually to the power of God and His blessed Savior Jesus Christ.
