We need a strong brew from the Father\u2019s Cafe. \n \nRepent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago. -- Peter preaching on the Day of Pentecost, Acts 3:19-21 ESV\n \nRepentance (changing of the mind and heart which bears the fruit of a change in how we live) releases the refreshing presence of the Lord \u2013 \u201cthat times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.\u201d\nAnd then there\u2019s restoration. Jesus is in heaven until the time of \u201crestoring all things\u201d \u2013 the new heavens and new earth.\nJesus \u2013 \u201cTruly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne (Mt 19)\nWe know this is coming. It\u2019s on the horizon.\nAnd yet, we can begin to live now in the Kingdom Dynamic of that time when all things will be restored. We are present-future people.\nThe future has broken into this age. In Hebrews 6 it says we can \u201ctaste the powers of the Age to Come.\u201d\nHebrews 6:4-5 (5 elements) \u2013 enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,\nSo this is the opportunity: Repentance >> Refreshing >> Restoration.\nQuotes on revival:\nWe cannot organize revival, but we can set our sails to catch the wind from Heaven when God chooses to blow upon His people once again. -- G. Campbell Morgan\nReformation is a return to the sound doctrine of the Bible. Revival is the practice of that sound doctrine under the power of the Holy Spirit. -- Francis Schaeffer","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/ee21fc9b-6b80-4115-9a89-d7a1816a89ce/Jesus-Smart-X-pod-art-Oct-25.png"}
