Notes:
Gratitude changes everything. So embrace a grateful mindset and heartset, focusing on what you have. Experience the mysterious magnetism that increasingly attracts what is good and aligns with God's purpose in your life.
To whom or what are we grateful? Can we be abstract or vague about gratitude?
I believe that as we are first grateful to our Creator, then we condition and position ourselves to be authentically grateful to others … in whatever context we relate to them: family, friendship, business/work, our place in the larger world, and so on.
Gratitude is like PRIMING a PUMP. Surprisingly, as we decide to be thankful, it releases a spring of gratitude, a flow of thankfulness.

Show notes:
Jesus Espresso episodes are strong shots of Kingdom Caffeine to power us through the days in which we live. We need a strong brew from the Father’s Cafe.
Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago. -- Peter preaching on the Day of Pentecost, Acts 3:19-21 ESV
Repentance (changing of the mind and heart which bears the fruit of a change in how we live) releases the refreshing presence of the Lord – “that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.”
And then there’s restoration. Jesus is in heaven until the time of “restoring all things” – the new heavens and new earth.
Jesus – “Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne (Mt 19)
We know this is coming. It’s on the horizon.
And yet, we can begin to live now in the Kingdom Dynamic of that time when all things will be restored. We are present-future people.
The future has broken into this age. In Hebrews 6 it says we can “taste the powers of the Age to Come.”
Hebrews 6:4-5 (5 elements) – enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,
So this is the opportunity: Repentance >> Refreshing >> Restoration.
Quotes on revival:
We cannot organize revival, but we can set our sails to catch the wind from Heaven when God chooses to blow upon His people once again. -- G. Campbell Morgan
Reformation is a return to the sound doctrine of the Bible. Revival is the practice of that sound doctrine under the power of the Holy Spirit. -- Francis Schaeffer

Trendline from Above? Is the Micro Ekklesia the New Mega? (Ep 264)
Saturday Jan 28, 2023
Saturday Jan 28, 2023
Is the Holy Spirit breathing on a Kingdom trendline today ... the Micro Ekklesia? Could an ancient-futurist expression of a "city on a hill" emerge that moves the needle in society and culture? Jesus co-opted a secular construct and infused it with Kingdom DNA -- and it's imperial authority!
