A Time Of Refreshing

Song of Solomon 2:12
This scripture speaks of the flowers appearing on the the earth, and the time of the birds singing. It's spring time, my favorite time of the year. It's as if the earth is being replenished or refreshed, coming back to life after a long sleep of winter. The warmeth of the sun and the singing of the birds, you just feel so alive.I pray that all would feel this way, and rejoice. There are many in the body of Christ who just do not feel this way, they are stuck in a winter season of there life. It's as if there are no birds singing or beautiful flowers in bloom. I have a word for you right in this season in your life. Acts 3:19 ... when the times of refreshing SHALL come from the PRESENCE OF THE LORD. This gr. word refreshing means properly, a recovery of breath, i.e.(fig) revival. It means refreshment, after being heated with labour, running. Its seem many of God's children are just running in life and labouring and are worn out SPIRITULLY. We have forgotten that in the Lord's presence's there is a breath of fresh air, to cool us and refresh us in these hard times in which we live.To look into his face, in his presence. We take times for everything but God. Oh he will always be there, when I get ready, I will go to Him. Now is the time to run to Him, when we are weak and worn down by the cares of life. There is strength and help, that is just a prayer away. Just as the earth is waking up from the long sleep, we can be awaken from our spiritual sleep, I hear God's alarm clock going off. He saying" Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, I WILL give you REST". Matt 11:28 He said cast that care or burden on him, and rest. The Lord wants to bless His children, he wants to help them and supply their every need. We fail in even going to him for help, we look to everything but him. Forgive us Father, allow us into your presence once again where is all that we will ever need. Hebrews 4:16" Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to HELP IN TIME OF NEED".

If this blesses you, please email me and let me know, also if you have a prayer request email it to brjoey@bellsouth.net and I will help you carry it before the Lord.

The Sword of Goliath 1Sam.21:8-9

The lord has taken me to this many times in the last few weeks. The one day king David was running from Saul. One place he said "there is but a step between me and death. David was speaking of a physical death at the hand of his enemy Saul. There are many that are a step between them and a spiritual death. They are cold and not praying or reading the holy word of God. Just going through the motion, without the joy and peace they one time had! There is hope and help for that one who wants it. Praise the lamb of God! There is VICTORY FOR EVERY SOUL THAT CRIES OUT TO GOD. He is a God of restoration, not just for the lost souls of man.Also those who are battle worn and beaten down from the storms and the cares of life. It is a wonderful thing to see the mighty hand of God work in a person life and see homes and lifes restored. Fathers and Mothers taking there place back. But what about the weary child of God who have done there best and just seem as if the is no more strenght to fight another battle. Just as David was running for his natural life, many are running for there spiritual life. As David took hold of the sword of Goliath, there was not another like it! He remembered the day he stood on Goliath chest and cut off his head. How that God had deliver this giant into a young man's hands with only a sling and stone plus a great faith in God. Remember when the Lord worked a miracle in your life. When He made a way where there was no way to be made.When he broke a fever, way over into the night. Well the bible tells us " Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever. Heb".13:8 He has not changed, reach back for the sword of yesterday's miracle and draw strength form it. God will not fail you now , or tomorrow. He is a faithful God, that we can trust. Take back your joy, peace, and strength, your home, health whatever the devil has taken from you. Our lord and soon coming king died so that we can have VICTORY in our lifes, anything else is not His will!
