Kairos – A move of the Holy Spirit | Andy Elmes | 26th February 2023
Today, Pastor Andy continues the theme of Kairos – for such a time as this. A Kairos moment, a moment of divine, God orchestrated favour and happening is most often to do with the Holy Spirit doing something new on the earth. Ps Andy references the outpouring of the Spirit in Asbury recently. When we see God moving around in different parts of the world it’s amazing, but the good news is that we can be assured in our hearts but the Same Spirit that's moving in those different locations is the same Spirit that lives in us!! Pastor Andy believes we are seeing a Kairos moment now with God pouring out a fresh touch of His Spirit. He is hungry for God to do what he wants to do because whenever there's a Kairos moment or a moment of revival people come back to life with all revived. When the Spirit of God begins to blow in a fresh way, rusty Christians get revived.
The story of the dry bones in Ezekiel 37 is an illustration for us now, says Pastor Andy. Here, God tells the prophet Ezekiel to prophesy over the valley of dry bones which then become alive after skin, sinew, tendons and eventually the breath of God is breathed back into them. Surely, this was a Kairos moment. This was a picture for Israel, but is also a picture for us, but when we look at what's going on in the world today, it looks like chaos. It looks like the ship is going down. We read reports for Christianity, people don't want it anymore. People don't want religion, they do want God. They want God but what is the answer? God's church is the answer. The church is already on the earth, but too much of the church is dry bones, too much of a church once lived, but went dry and died in their faith, gave up on God, but kept coming to church and fell asleep. Pastor Andy believes we are in one of those moments. A Kairos moment where God is breathing on his church, putting fresh breath back into the church.
We need to be positioned correctly and hungry for the Spirit of God to blow new breath into our beings.
