and so therefore you know we say let go and let God well that is crucial to be able to have the rest and refreshing that God wants for your life you have to be able to let go you can pick it up again if it’s something that you should pick up again but you got to let it go this message is about refreshing refreshing from heaven now we just had a baby and one thing happens when you have a baby is you don’t get sleep that’s the way it is because the baby is crying and cries every 2 hours or 3 hours because they need to be fed
that’s how God made it and one thing you don’t get as sleep I’m I you know my wife is getting less sleep than I am I’m not getting a lot of sleep but my wife’s even less so I don’t know if I should be sharing on refreshing except maybe I should cuz I need it but everybody gets tired and everybody gets weary physically if you don’t get rest you don’t get enough sleep you’re going to be weary to begin with and people are getting less sleep now than ever that’s physical but then I’m talking about something bigger than physical there’s
another kind of tiredness or weariness and that’s spiritual weariness or an emotional weariness where you get weary in life you get run down you get burnt out even in the Lord tired burnt out weary you don’t feel like you have strength but God is the god of refreshing from the very beginning he establishes the Shabbat you know we he the Sabbath the word of course in in Hebrew is Shabbat try it Shabbat now now God established that now did he get tired I don’t think God got tired he’s Almighty but he established it for us
the Bible says Messiah said the Sabbath was it wasn’t that man is made for the Sabbath but the Sabbath is made for who us so God established it for us it tells you that God is the god of ref refreshing and renewal how what are the keys of spiritual refreshing I’m going to we’re going to talk about that it’s going to be very practical and spiritual tonight about how to get refreshed spiritually first of all if you’re not getting physical rest it’s going to affect you Also spiritually meaning if you’re not getting any physical rest
continuously it’s going to wear you down and it’s going to for you’re too tired you’ll be too tired to rejoice in God you’ll be too so the physical does affect the spiritual but at the same time even if you do get physical rest that’s not going to give you spiritual refreshing or spiritual Revival or renewal and so the thing is so so the first thing is I mean first thing is we have to be aware of our physical beings we do have to take care of ourselves we do have to seek to to to uh to nourish this Temple so that we can
do the will of God you should be taking care of yourself because it’s a gift from God and that means you should be getting enough you you should be getting you should be doing things right because it affects the rest but still you know that is not going to give you spiritual Revival or refreshing or renewing physically though the the what happens physically if you take it into the spiritual realm it’s going to give you keys of this when you need when you’re physically run down what do you have to do you need to rest you need sleep what
is rest rest is I’m not doing that anymore yeah whatever I’m doing I’m taking a break from what I was doing so how do you get spiritual refreshing one of the keys is you take a break from what you’re doing if you keep doing one thing all the time you’re going to get weary if all you’re doing if you’re working all the time you’re going to get we I’m not even talking about not getting sleep if you’re working with your mind all the time say you get sleep but you’re working all the time you’re going to get weary just from that if
you’re always in a rut it’s going to wear you down you’re going to get tired you’re going to get weary it’s going to get old you’re going to get spiritually tired if you keep doing the same thing of anything without a break so God established the Sabbath the Shabbat and this is not to get into the doctrine or the controversy of what people say about the Sabbath it’s the principle right here the principle is you’ve got to take breaks from what you’re doing you can’t just do the same thing all the time you can’t work all the time you can’t be on
the internet all the time you can’t do anything all the time because you weren’t made for that or or you’re going to get weary you need to take breaks that’s the principle of the Sabbath you’ve got to take breaks in the Lord from whatever it is even if it’s a good thing but one you need daily breaks in with God you need weekly breaks with God and and you need special times beyond that as well Retreats sabatical the point of the rest of God Rest In God is not to not the point isn’t to get away and not do it the point is to be able to
