WAKE UP
Romans 13:11-14
Wake Up! To be awake is to be conscious, aware and/or alert. We must be conscious of our surroundings, aware of the wiles of the enemy and alert to the signs of the times. With so much happening today we believe that the Lord is soon to come; that this world is quickly coming to an end. The Bible is being fulfilled. Men and women or shacking-up instead of getting married and keeping the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman. The media wants us to believe that love is just love and should be shared between Adam and Steve, Steve and Steve, Steve, Adam and Joni. There is little concern about the souls of men; many are preaching for the all mighty dollar. There is a lot of disregard for God's Word and His Holiness. Human life has no value. People are subject to kill you without even thinking twice. It is time for all Christians to Wake Up. We must be Physically Awake and Spiritually Awake!
We cannot ignore the things we experience. Even the elements are out of whack. Sometimes we can not decipher one season from another. Hurricanes, tornadoes and tsunami are larger and stronger than ever. Fires have increased in the West and snow storms are disastrous in the North. We are out of kilter, because the Saints are sleep and not praying!
In a time of such devastation and lack of morality, whom can you trust? Who can you go to! Who will listen? There is Rock. There is salvation. There is a hiding place. There is a shelter in the time of a storm. There is bread in a starving land and water in dry places. There is NAME you can call on. "The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it and is safe." When all else fails, read the instructions!
Examples of Spiritual & Physical Awakenings
(In the Acts of the Apostles)
Acts 9 :33-35
A/Eneas was a sick man with the palsy for 8 years. Peter said to him - Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise and make thy bed. He rose immediately (Physical Awakening). All that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him and turned to the Lord (Spiritual Awakening).
