MESSAGE NOTES
/// BREATHE | THE OUTPOURING OF SABBATH
In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people... Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. - Acts 2:17-18 (NIV)
God’s outpouring is for YOU, for NOW!
The Sabbath is not just a pause—it’s an OUTPOURING of blessing!
Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father... all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. - Ephesians 1:3 (TPT)
God’s favor is FREELY GIVEN through Christ, but it must be ACTIVELY RECEIVED by faith.
The Sabbath is where God POURS OUT what you’ve been too busy to receive.
1. STOP – Surrender Control for God’s Outpouring
Be still, and know that I am God. - Psalm 46:10
If you won’t stop WILLINGLY, life will stop you PAINFULLY
You don’t have, because you don’t ask. - James 4:2
PRAY for the Outpouring!
2. REST – Refuel to Fight for God’s Outpouring
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. - Matthew 11:28
Rest is not the absence of effort; it’s the PRESENCE OF TRUST
When you rest in God, you’re not quitting—you’re RECHARGING for the fight!
FIGHT for the Outpouring!
3. DELIGHT – Rejoice Even in the Battle
Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. - Psalm 37:4
Sabbath isn’t just about stopping work—it’s about STARTING JOY!
I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. - Galatians 6:17
“Never trust a leader without a limp.” – Mark Batterson
HURT for the Outpouring!
4. WORSHIP – Reset Your Focus on the Outpouring
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. - Colossians 3:2
The way you rest REVEALS the One you trust.
PRAISE for the Outpouring!
LIVE FOR THE OUTPOURING!
You don’t have to work for God’s love, but you do have to rest in it.
Sabbath isn’t just about resting. IT’S ABOUT RECEIVING!
TAKE AWAY: This week, step into the rhythm of grace and receive the outpouring He’s already pouring out!
