The Church is waking up!

Therefore He says, Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine (make day dawn) upon you and give you light. [Isa. 26:19; 60:1, 2.] Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people), – Ephesians 5:14-15 AMP

We must realize what time it is and wake up! Quit hitting the “snooze button” and get out of the bed.

Jesus is depending on us to do our part as His Body and begin to move toward the sick and lost. Have compassion on people and stretch out our hands to give help, healing and hope!

As these verses state we need to examine the way that we are living so that we are living with purpose. Also, we need to make sure that we are doing the Word and not just hearing it. Allow the Word to purge us and cleanse us in order to bear more fruit. We must put a premium on doing the Word in these days. But in order to do the Word you must first know the Word. Be students of the Word as 2 Timothy 2:15 says in order that we be not ashamed so that we can do the Word (James 1:22 and Joshua 1:8)

Let’s not let the Lord find us sleeping on the job (as He did when He asked a few of His disciples to pray just outside the garden of Gethsemane)…we need to wake up, look at the clock, stir up the gift in us and be about our Father’s business!
