“Look Into His Presence”
Refreshing
II Timothy 2:22
But keep away from youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faithfulness, love, and peace, in company with others who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
Exodus 31:12-18 The Sabbath Law
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you. You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.
It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’ ”
And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.”
God rested and was refreshed. In our western culture we don’t know how to relax. Why would God tell His people to take the 7th day off? No work, and no hard work on the Sabbath, for it is holy unto the Lord.
God desires and wants a relationship with His children, God wants to know us and He longs for us to get to know Him.
When we don’t rest and seek Him our creativity is stunted. When we are tired and overworked our minds become foggy.
Why do we need a day to rest, reflect, and to thank the Lord?
Taking time off to get into the presence of the Lord can be one of the most powerful things we can ever learn to do. We are not saved by keeping the law, nor are we justified by keeping the Sabbath, but if we take one day off to be alone with the Lord to love and worship Him, we will be refreshed as it can become our greatest day of the week. If we get into the habit of being in His presence we can enjoy, cherish Him and hear Him speak to us, which benefits us, as we are refreshed spiritually, mentally, and physically.
Jesus knew how to rest. He would spend all night with the Father, talking with Him, listening to Him and loving Him. Jesus would then go out into the community and heal the sick, raise the dead, turn water into wine, drive out demons, walk on water, cleanse the lepers, forgive sins, teach the people and multiply food to feed thousands of people.
There have been few individuals who have learned the secret of the Sabbath, but those who have, saw great kingdom authority in their lives. When we can learn to do something as basic as taking a day off to be alone with the Lord, we will see a difference in our lives and we will not be the same.
The Sabbath is God’s idea. Yes it was in the Old Covenant, but I believe the principle of the Sabbath is more relevant today than ever. Being in His presence is more important than anything. Look at the Nation of Israel in the wilderness. Moses went up to Mount Sinai and God gave Him the blueprints for the Tabernacle. What was this all about? The Tabernacle was about His presence (His Glory) being available to the whole nation.
Moses said, “you are all priests unto God.” He wasn’t just saying this to the tribe of Levi but to the whole nation. Moses was able to go into the Holy of Holies anytime because He understood the presence of God. Moses was a preview of what any person could experience according to…
2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Let us be transformed and refreshed by seeking to receive and applying His promise of rest in our lives as it will cause us to grow and develop our relationship with Him

June Prayer Strategy
Luke 15:32 It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’”
Scripture tells us there is joy in Heaven over one sinner who repents (Luke 15:7). There are a lot of very spiritually sick people that need doctor Jesus to come into their lives and change them. This world is full of lost and dying people who need the Savior of the World. I want more opportunities to reach lost people and to be guided by the Spirit when I encounter lost sheep that need help in repentance and starting a relationship with Jesus. Let’s pray for opportunities to share our testimony with lost and hurting people that need to be found. Let’s pray for seeds to be planted, for seeds to grow, and for the rain to cause increase. We want to be a part of bringing in the end time harvest and prepared for what the Lord wants to do in America and around the world. Let’ pray for divine encounters that come at just the right time of harvest and ripeness. Pray, that we will have the perfect stage to witness, to give testimony, to point to Jesus and tell others of all the wonderful things He has done and wants to do. Pray hearts to soften and that the heavens would open over our city to make it easier to reach the lost. Pray that seeds would not fall on infertile ground but that the soil in men’s heart would be so receptive to the gospel that all over people would be hungry and thirsty for Jesus. Pray our city would cry out to God and that the enemy’s strongholds would be torn down. Pray we see a great revival come to Tucson, that every church loyal to Jesus and His Word would be at capacity and overflowing. Pray those who are dead would come alive, that the lost would be found.
