Acts: Life In The Spirit
Times of Refreshing
Acts 3:11-26
Well, of all the refreshing experiences we can find, nothing can compare to the renewal of the mind and spirit that is found in the presence of God.
We're going to look at a few thoughts from our passage that will show us how a right relationship with God through Jesus Christ can bring refreshing to our souls.
I. Turning Away from Sin Brings Times of Refreshing
Let's repent and turn away from the sin we have allowed into our lives, and the times of refreshing will begin to flow into our lives like cool refreshing water.
II. Turning to God Brings Times of Refreshing
When it is well with my soul, I find myself refreshed because I am doing what I was created to do--that is to live in harmony with God.
III. Staying Close to Jesus Brings Times of Refreshing (It is all about relationship!)
Jesus compared Himself to a Shepherd and said, "My sheep know My voice." Can you recognize when Jesus is speaking to you?
If we choose to ignore God's answer for mankind, we are passing up the only way to get right with Him, and to find the refreshing we need in our lives.
Are you willing to let go of what seems so important to you? If you will, I can assure you that God has something 1000 times more wonderful than what you would be giving up.
