THE RAINS OF REFRESHING
By George Thurlow
©️July 19, 1999
Outside the rain is falling,
A welcomed, blessed thing…
Showering down from heaven
With a gentle, melodic “ping!”.
Refreshment for the barren ground
Parched and hard as lead.
It’s resurrection powers
Reviving all that’s dead.
And likewise, pours the Spirit’s rain
Saturating souls
Renewing hearts turned hardened
Desiccated, and grown cold.
And those born again of the Spirit
Have the living water deep within,
An ever flowing fountain
Bubbling over and o’er again.

Acts 3:19
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;”
Isaiah 58:11
“And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.”
John 7:37-39
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
