The Holy Spirit’s Rest And Refreshing

You’ve probably heard of the term “R&R”. It’s commonly used in the military and it means “rest and relaxation” after some exhausting overseas training or mission. Doctors also order “rest and rehabilitation” for the injured and sick.

My friend, God has an R&R for you too. It’s called “the rest and the refreshing”, and it comes through praying in the Holy Spirit or tongues.

One of the best ways to rest and be refreshed, especially when you are worried, fatigued or just waiting for the manifestation of your healing, is to pray in the Holy Spirit.

Beloved, give yourself some time every day to pray in the Spirit, and allow Him to rejuvenate and refresh you supernaturally!

And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness.
For example, we don’t know what God wants
us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for
us with groanings that cannot be expressed
in words. And the Father who knows all
hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for
the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony
with God’s own will. And we know that God
causes everything to work together for the
good of those who love God and are called
according to His purpose for them.

OMANS 8:26–28, NLT

Let The Holy Spirit Intercede For You

Sometimes, when our healing is not forthcoming, we just don’t know what else to pray. We’ve prayed from every angle we know how, using all the scriptures we know of, and yet, there doesn’t seem to be any breakthrough.

I want you to know that God has given us a weapon that will break down every barrier—praying in tongues. When you don’t know what to pray, pray in the Holy Spirit and allow Him to intercede for you. He knows exactly what the problem is and what the best solution is. He will not just plead for you in harmony with God’s will, but He will also rest your weary soul!

My friend, allow the Holy Spirit to intercede for you, and see God cause
everything
to work together for the good of your body and health!

By faith Sarah herself also received strength
to conceive seed, and she bore a child when
she was past the age, because she judged Him
faithful who had promised.

Judge God Faithful

We often hear about Abraham’s faith, but do you know that his wife, Sarah, had faith too? She received divine strength to conceive Isaac, even though by this time, as a woman who had never conceived, she was doubly barren!

How did Sarah find faith? The Bible tells us that she “judged Him faithful who had promised”. She was conscious of
the Lord’s faithfulness,
not her own faithfulness!

My friend, rest in the faithfulness of Jesus. It’s not your faith but His faithfulness—His faithfulness in always loving you and making good on His promise to heal you. When you find yourself wavering in faith, judge Him faithful and be at rest. He cannot fail you and will do as His Word has promised!

Then the Lord told him, “I am the Lord who
brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to
give you this land as your possession.” But
Abram replied, “O Sovereign Lord, how can
I be sure that I will actually possess it?”… So
the Lord made a covenant with Abram that
day and said, “I have given this land to your
descendants, all the way from the border of
Egypt to the great Euphrates River…”

ENESIS 15:7–8,18, NLT

My covenant I will not break, nor alter the
word that has gone out of My lips.
