THE UPPER ROOM MANDATE – UNTIL THE POWER FALLS (2)
Times Of Refreshing Daily Devotional
Date: Thursday, 5 June 2025
Topic: The Upper Room Mandate – Until the Power Falls (2)
Focus: Tarrying with Expectation
Message:
Before revival hits the streets, it starts in the secret place. Before the noise of Pentecost came the silence of the Upper Room—where a remnant waited, prayed, and refused to leave until power fell. This devotional series is not for the casual—it’s for the consecrated. For those who say, “Lord, I will wait until You come again in power.”
📖 Key Verse:
Acts 1:13–14 (NIV) – “They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.”
Devotional:
Tarrying isn’t passive—it’s active waiting with deep expectation. The disciples weren’t twiddling their thumbs in the Upper Room; they were praying, uniting, seeking, worshiping. They were postured to receive. Jesus had given them a promise: “You will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” But the fulfillment didn’t come instantly—it came to those who waited in unity and hunger.
📖 Scripture Reading:
- Acts 1:4–5 – “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait…”
- Isaiah 40:31 – “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength…”
💧 Refreshing for the Day:
Many people give up too quickly in prayer. They want microwave answers, not Upper Room encounters. But God is looking for those who will linger, who believe that what He said, He will do. So, beloved, are you willing to wait in prayer until heaven invades earth? Tarrying is about trust. It’s trusting that God’s timing is perfect, and His promise is sure. Stay Refreshed!
✨ Note This:
What God is preparing for you is worth the wait.
🛡️ Responsibilities:
- Set aside extended time today to pray and wait on the Lord without distraction.
- Don’t rush it—be still, and let your heart lean in.
🙏 Prayer:
Lord, teach me to wait well. I don’t want to rush past what You want to do in me. Birth in me a deeper hunger for Your presence and power. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
🔥 Prophetic Declaration:
I will not grow weary in waiting! I tarry with fire, faith, and expectation! The promise is coming, and I will be ready when the power falls! Alleluia!
📖 Bible Texts:
Acts 1:4-5; 13-14, Isaiah 40:31
