DAY ONE OF REVIVALS
(Genesis 1:14)
God declares two seasons fron the beginning; a season of the night and a season of the day.
In both seasons we have to be prepared so that when each comes you are prepared to encounter it.
There are always signs in each season to show where we are in our season.
Biblically, seasons refer to an appointed time for a particular circumstance or the right time for a certain happening in our lives.
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-11)
The mystery in seasons is that even though God has given eternity to us, we may not be able to comprehend everything God does from beginning to end.
However every season we are given signs and are prepared for that season.
God gives two different levels of seasons in that it can either be definite or indefinite.
The times and seasons of God are not the same as man persues it.
The timing in the seasons of a person is in the hands of God and only he knows and decides.
(2 Peter 3:8)
However in each season, God reveals to man and confirms to having good thoughts for his people. Daniel 2:21-22, Jeremiah 29:11
Psalm 139 shows how God knows everything concerning our lives.
Seasons and times are controlled spiritually. In the spiritual aspect, both God and the devil are present. (Psalm 31:14-15)
