WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  REFRESHING

There are times when life can press us down. Our emotions feel like depression trying to set in, you have nothing going on in your life to make you depressed. This is a classic attack of our enemy. He wants us to feel helpless and hopeless. If we are feeling down, then we will not feel like praying, studying, or spending time in worship.

The enemy knows that just as our physical bodies needs rest to find energy for a new day. Also, our soul needs that God connection in prayer, praise and reading the word. We need new strength for our soul daily.

Jesus is the reason we can have hope and be refreshed in our inner man. Without him there is no hope. But with him we can live a life free of sin’s weight. We can live a life of Joy. We gain strength through praise that brings Joy.

PSALM 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

As Children of God, we must stick to the path that God has stretched out before us. If we do this, we will find joy for our journey.  The Joy of the Lord is our strength. But we have to be in the right path to receive that strength and joy.

Romans 15:32 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

When we are battle weary and being attacked with fear, anxiety or depression we need refreshed. Spending time in God’s presence in worship will reconnect us with the Holy Ghost. In that connection is refreshment, strength and joy.

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.

When we repent there is a conversion or a change within us. Repentance is not a one-time thing then all is well. Paul said he died daily. When we ask God to forgive any sins or failures as his children, he will renew us. That comes from connecting to God through his Spirit within us.

All of our hope is in Jesus. He is our strength and peace. The refreshing and the love of God is given to us. That refreshing is like the sweet fragrance of a perfume filling a room. God’s love infiltrates every part of our inner man.

Romans 5:3-5  And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

As we pray and gain strength to overcome our tribulations we gain patience, experience and hope. We would get nowhere without the hope we have in Jesus.

Thanks for watching,

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
