The Move of God - God’s Time (notes)

The Move of God - God’s Time

God’s Time

  • Is always perfect.
  • Is never late.
  • Changes everything.

Acts 2:1-2

  • When the Day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

Pentecost

  • Means 50.
  • Came 50 days after Jesus died on the cross (Passover).
  • Was the birthing of the church of Jesus Christ.
  • Will happen again!

Matthew 16:3

  • The Pharisees and Sadducees tested Jesus by asking him for a sign from heaven.
  • Sign in the Greek is a miracle with a spiritual end and purpose, a finger mark of God.

Time

  • Is Kairos which is a season or opportune time. A period of time in which crucial events take place, marked by distinct conditions.
  • Chronos is a succession of moments.

This Age (time)

  • Will come to an end at the rapture of the church.
  • After the greatest revival (awakening) in history will take place.

Since Israel
(Luke 21:24)

  • Became a nation we have been living in the last moments of this age.
  • Jesus will come soon.
  • So we must seize the moment and move with the Spirit of God to touch this generation.

Acts 1:7

  • Jesus said... “It is not for you to know the times (Kairos) or dates the Father has set by his own authority.”

Acts 17

  • God is the Creator.
  • God does not live in man made temples.
  • He does not need anything.
  • From Adam He make all nations.
  • He determined times set for them and the exact places where they should live.
  • God desires men to seek Him--reach out for Him and find Him.

Jesus Died

  • At the right time (on Passover) which freed us from sin and provided salvation, healing and restoration.
  • Now as God’s children we get in on God’s plan for us and for the Jews and for the world.
  • At the right time Jesus will return and restore everything to its original purpose.

Application

When Jesus healed someone or taught a crowd it was at the right time.

This is how we should live our lives.

John 5:19

Acts 13:4
Acts 16:6

Whatever we do, it should be because it was God’s time and the Holy Spirit directed us.
