TIMES OF REFRESHING

Acts 3:19

A time of refreshing is a time of blessing to the battle weary saint.
Our heavenly Father in His love knows there will be times we need His refreshing.
God knows life is a battle. Ephesians 6:12
God knows His children will need peace, replenishment, rest and to be revived.
These are the things God's refreshing offers us.

When God refreshes you, you will be revived.
When God refreshes you, you will know peace.
When God refreshes you, you will be replenished.
When God refreshes you, you will experience rest.

This is why God sets seasons in place, times when His  children experience His refreshing.
These are times of refreshing scheduled for you in God's Kingdom.
God showed us a pattern of rest after creation. God rested on the seventh day. Genesis 2:2
It is not God's will that after fighting hard, working hard, serving God with all your heart against all odds, you do not get refreshed. Mark 6:31

A wise commander of an army doesn't just consider the physical fitness, training and mental state of his soldiers. He will also have to put the food and water supplies of his fighters into consideration.
Part of his plan will have to be considering places and times when his men will have to take a break and be refreshed. 1 Kings 17:1-10
Our heavenly Father is like that.
Jesus and the Holy Spirit operate like that.
They know life is a battle and they schedule seasons of rest and replenishment for their  followers, their human soldiers.

God knows when you need to be revived and refreshed.
He releases the dew of heaven, the presence of the Kingdom of God upon you when He sees you are becoming weary. Genesis 27:28

Characteristics of times of refreshing:
1) When you are in a time of refreshing, things happen more easily for you. 2 Kings 3:17-19

2) When you are in a time of refreshing, you feel hopeful all over again. Fresh strength and power comes into you.
Isaiah 40:31

3) When you are in a time of refreshing, fresh joy comes upon you from God's presence.
Psalm 45:7

4) When you are in a time of refreshing, desires and needs are granted.
Psalm 37:4

5) Times of refreshing are times of favour from the Lord.
Psalm 37:4

6) They are times of fulfilment when prophecies come to pass and God's people manifest.
2 Kings 3:19-26

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
