RHEMA 7/13/12 REFRESHMENT IN DROUGHT

VISION:  I saw heavenly grandstands of people and I saw many people start raising their hands to me and waving to get my attention.

HEARD:  Faith.  Position.  The crowds went wild. 

Heb 12:1-2 NKJV

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

VISION:  I saw a cowboy and horse who had been on a long dry cattle drive with little water and they finally reached water!  I saw them hurdling down the embankment to the river to make a BIG happy splash.  He was the first to find the water and the herds were coming behind him.  I knew it had been a long, hard, dry run.

Ps 63:1 NKJV

O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.

Acts 3:19-22 NKJV

Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before,  21 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.

WORD TO PONDER:  REFRESHMENT IN A DRY AND THIRSTY LAND  7/13/12

Yes dear hearts, it’s been a long, hard drive to reach the days of refreshing.  You pushed through every hardship, deep thirst and dry times to run this race.  You have sought Me and longed for me in a dry and thirsty land.  Even now at first glance, plunge in, for at the scent of water what seemed dead shall spring forth and bud.  Yes hope has been deferred and the heart is sick.  But when your desire comes, it is a tree of life. 

Acts 3:19 AMP

So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord;

Prov 13:12 NKJV

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.
