Hello, thank you for joining me today for Give Him 15. And the title of today's post is

Buy the Opportunity. Purchase, buy the opportunity. One of my favorite verses on revival is Acts 319. Therefore, repent and return so that your sins may be

wiped away in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.

As is often the case, it is challenging for our English translations to fully convey the Greek content of this verse.

The phrase, Times of Refreshing, is loaded with meaning.

Times is translated from the word Chirass, which means strategic or opportune time.

Kenneth Wist, a very literal translator of the New Testament, uses the following phrases to

translate kairos. Epic making periods.

Acts 319.

Strategic significant period.

Acts 12.1.

Strategic epical time.

Acts 1923.

Using a combination of his words,

Kairos times are strategic, significant,

and potentially epic-making.

America and the nations

are about to experience an epic-making revival.

I checked Mr. Webster's meaning of the hyphenated phrase epic making to gain

greater understanding. He said it means significant by virtue of ensuing historical developments,

or a period of time characterized by momentous events or changes,

and a fixed point of time from which succeeding years are numbered. That's what we're after.
