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.
(Acts 3:10 KJV)

There is a wind starting to blow. God is ready to restore and refresh your life! The Bible promises that once repentance has been completed, God is going to lean over the pavilions of glory and the sapphire sill of heaven's gate and draw in a breath of eternal air. He is going to blow a blast onto His people on this planet.
There will be a rumbling that will cause highways to flip like ribbons in the noonday breeze. The Son of God, with His long, lean Galilean leg, is just about ready to slide over the side of a steaming white stallion. The trumpets shall roar like the crash of a thousand cannons, as our Lord splits the eastern sky!
Just before God does this, He is going to send the wind…the refreshing, restoring wind of the His Spirit! Notice what the book of Acts says, "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." Right now, God is preparing to send you the refreshing, restoring presence of the Holy Spirit in your life!
God uses only three pages to explain what went on in this world in eternity past. On those pages, He talks about the creation of the heavens and the earth. He then talks about the creation of man and his subsequent fall. The over one thousand remaining pages are spent talking about God's efforts to get you and me back to where mankind started. That's because the Bible is not a book of creation, bur rather it is a book of redemption!
God wants to restore and refresh your life so "he might present…a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish" (Eph. 5:27). He is in the process of pulling you and me out of this world.
Today, you and I live in a society where right has been wrong for so long that righteousness has now become abnormal. God is calling the body of Christ to be different. He is calling us to rise far above the moral climate of our day.
This is what God wants for you. This is the refreshing and restoring He wants to send your way. However, God is not looking for an "ordinary" church. He wants to deliver you from every realm of "being ordinary" in your life.
He wants to surgically extract from your innermost being any contentment with church as normal. He wants you to stop splashing around a little bit in the spiritually shallow water and calling it "revival." He wants to launch you out into the deep where you can't stand on your own. Instead, you have to be sustained by the billowing waves and breath of the Spirit of the Living God.
Perhaps you feel as if you've been walking in the black of midnight, facing some of the biggest devils of your life. Perhaps the heavens seem as brass and you can't get a prayer answered, or you feel as if God has forgotten you. Perhaps you have been walking through a barren valley while saying, "I can't go on any farther. This is as far as I can go."
Here is good news for you today: "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" (Ps. 30:5).
The truth is: Joy cometh. You are going to get through this thing! You are going to make it to the other side! The Lord didn't bring you this far to leave you. He didn't teach you His Word to let you drown. God will make an oasis in the midst of your spiritual desert. He will send the former and latter rain all in one month. That means, before you can get His name out of your mouth, He will be there! You are about to enter a new realm of power in the Lord!
