Wake Up!

“The hour has come for you to WAKE UP from your slumber..."

Rom. 13:11

“Have you ever fell asleep at the wheel? It can happen,

but the end result is NOT going to be pleasant!”

Mark 14: 32-42 – 3 different times... the followers of Jesus FELL ASLEEP!

If you look at the passage you see that Jesus DID NOT WANT THEM SLEEPING simply because it was going to prevent them from seeing that the enemy was at work

QUESTION: Isn’t that exactly what the enemy of God would want to happen? Ask yourself the questions... “in what ways am I falling asleep when it comes to the spiritual things in my life?”  “What’s causing me to become sleepy?”

Revelation 3:1-6 – Here is another clear example of a church that is ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL!

In the Gospels, Matthew 25:1-13 The “virgins” represent those who have been “washed in the blood” and who are made to be the “pure and spotless bride” for the SOON COMING Bridegroom. Notice though... that they ALL fell asleep! They didn’t all miss out... only those who in their “pre-slumber” did not PREPARE for His coming!

Ephesians 5:16 REDEEM THE TIME! For the days are evil! That word - evil - is the Greek word - poneros - which is translated for the most part - hurtful in its effect upon you.

Isaiah 55:6 Admonishes us to “Seek the Lord while He may be found!” None of us are able to execute what needs to be done in our own personal lives apart from God Himself! Apathy and lethargy are things that crop up in our lives that cause real “roadblocks” to our spiritual growth and well being!

Finally, another question to ask yourself...

“What does an awake believer of the Lord look like?”

“If I myself would STAY AWAKE.... in what ways would the Kingdom be different?”

“How would the Kingdom GROW as a result of ME being ALERT?”

Blessings my Friends!
