THE REVIVAL ROOM: MAKING SPACE FOR GOD TO MOVE (2)

Times Of Refreshing Daily Devotional

Date: Thursday, 10 April 2025

Focus: A Bed for Rest


Message:

Revival doesn’t start in crowds—it starts in hearts that make room. Learn to prepare your life to host a move of God.


Key Verse:

📖 2 Kings 4:10 – “Let’s make a small room… and put in it a bed, a table…”


Devotional:

One of the first things placed in the revival room was a bed—a place of rest. This was no accident. Before God releases power, He establishes rest. In this kingdom, rest is not inactivity—it is trust. You can’t host revival while striving in the flesh. The Holy Spirit doesn’t rest where anxiety, fear, and self-effort dominate. He rests where faith, stillness, and surrender live. Beloved, when you make space for rest in God, you’re saying: “Lord, I trust You. I cease from my own works. I lean into Your strength.”


📖 Scripture Reading:

Hebrews 4:10“For anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from His.”
Psalm 62:1“Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him.”


💧 Refreshing for the Day:

Revival isn’t just loud moments and emotional encounters—it’s a continual life of yielded trust, where the fire of God finds a resting place in you. So, ask yourself: Am I striving or resting? Where have you been trying to control the outcome? Today, lay it down. Breathe deep. Get still. Invite God’s presence to settle in your heart. The fire falls where rest is honored. Stay Refreshed!


Note This:

Rest is a weapon in the revival room.


🛡️ Responsibilities:

  1. Set aside a moment today to pause—no demands, no distractions. Just sit in God’s presence and breathe deeply.
  2. Speak this aloud: “God, I trust You with this.” (Mention it.)

🙏 Prayer:

Jesus, I surrender striving. I’ve tried to do it in my strength, but today I let go. Let Your rest fill my soul. Let Your presence quiet every storm in me. I trust You, and I make room for You to move. In Jesus’ name, Amen!


🔥 Prophetic Declaration:

I rest in God’s presence. I am not driven—I am led. I am not anxious—I am anchored. The fire of revival rests on me because I trust in Him! In Jesus’ name, Amen!


📖 Bible Texts:

2 Kings 4:10, Hebrews 4:10, Psalm 62:1
