Times of Refreshing
“Times of refreshing in a hope revival. He’s here to revive hope, dreams, and desires.”
These words were given yesterday during the service. Some of us may be in a place of hopelessness right now, and Jesus is here to revive hope in your life. What is hope? A feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. Truthfully some of us may be in a place where we have never really hoped for anything because we have blindly walked through life each day doing our regular routine. Oh, but there is so much more He has for you.
“And this hope is not a disappointing fantasy, because we can now experience the endless love of God cascading into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who lives in us!” Romans 5:5
This hope starts with the endless love of Yahweh pouring into our hearts. His love is beyond anything you have ever experienced on earth. It transcends doubt, hurt, anger, disappointment, hopelessness and lack of desire. You must come to the understanding He loves you regardless of what you have done or better yet not done. Some of us look at the accomplishments of others and question our own abilities or maybe you think I missed the boat. I am too old to go after dreams and desires of long ago. Both of these thoughts will rob you of joy and quench your hunger for who He designed you to be. He is here for a time of refreshing.
“Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen.” Hebrews 11:1
You must believe He has a life of abundance for you. It doesn’t always come how we think it should because He will confront disbelief and hopelessness in a way that causes you to question everything but LET HIM! Give Him permission to talk to you about that which has led you down this road. He can be trusted.
Are you in a place you feel like you do not have dreams or desires? Ask Him to restore and revive the ones He gave you as a child. The child in all of us was once excited about those dreams He designed for us, but life can bury them to the point we forgot about them. He is ready to bring them back to life.
“Now may God, the fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with hope! Romans 15:13
