Dear beloved: Mural painted by Kaley Tuttle; Men's Fellowship Breakfast at Living Water Church
Acts 3:18 But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. v19 "Repent therefore and be converted, that all your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, v20 And that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, v21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began."
Beloved, notice carefully in the above Scripture, the Apostle Peter is preaching, "times of refreshing may come after repentance". When we repent and show God that we are serious about cleansing our hearts before Him, then He takes notice and pours out on us the time refreshing. This time of refreshing, renewal, revival, or whatever name you wish to give it, then stokes a fire and excitement in us that moves us to greater intimacy with God, and a greater desire to witness. In the USA there has been a history of revival such as what occurred at Asbury two weeks ago, and is still spreading across the land. God is always listening to the cries and prayers of His children. Just as on the day of Pentecost when the original Holy Spirit fire was poured out for all mankind, so God chooses to rekindle the fire in different seasons and places even today. In December of 2022, the Holy Spirit spoke to me in a dream, "In the coming year, the key is to be in the presence of the Lord." This is a prophetic word not only for me, but for all in the Body of Christ. The outpouring at Asbury is certainly a manifestation of that word. We invite you to pray about your part in helping Gather the Outcasts fan the flames of revival across the nations of Africa. As you send, we can go! May God bless you as you pray.
