Another Wave Rolls In!

Anticipation of Renewal

“And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy” (Acts 2:17-18).

Some of my wife’s favorite places to visit are along the Pacific coast where we can watch the ocean waves cascading on the shore. On an occasional trip out of town we find ourselves heading to Half Moon Bay, Monterey, or to some other spot along the coast. These are scenes of nature that brings an awareness of God’s presence.

There is something peaceful and serene about the sound of the surf and consistency of the waves. Some of the waves crash with such force they rush far upon the beach while others shrug and gently spread out on the smooth wet sand. There seems to be a random rhythm and irregular rotation to the waves that come with such prominence. Yet, they come. The tides rise and fall; the waves ebb and flow and occasional strike with tremendous energy.

And so it is with flow of the Spirit. The waves of renewal and the surge of spiritual baptisms seem to come like the rising of the tide. When there is a flow of the Spirit and the demonstration of God’s power in evidence, it is time to dive into the depths of the wave.

There is a moving of the Spirit in our day. Many are finding a new reality in the powerful demonstration of the Spirit. Those who once resisted an emotional response to God are now embracing the fresh wave of spiritual renewal. It is time for another wave to roll in!

What we are seeing is evidence of the “last days” prophesied by Joel and preached by Peter. Allow the wave of the Spirit to engulf your life and sweep you into the midst of revival tide. Now is the time to move forward in the Spirit and believe for the greatest wave of renewal that has ever been witnessed!
