Who wouldn't prefer to walk awake like we each were meant to walk (healthy, blessed).. rather than woke?
Perhaps you don't feel or think you have enough faith to pray in a spiritual awakening and or a biblical revival for your Land? I dare ya, start anyways. Can you perhaps begin to do that for inside of you, and for your loved ones too? Yeah, I mean from Him to you.. to y'all. Listen, if He can get it too you, He can get it through you! This nation needs Jesus Christ.
Today we hear so much from those who are woke. Man, I just feel glad when some people want to walk awake. We need an awakening so others will. It’s the way to go, alert and awake -- no sleep walkin’. Revived.. fully awakened.. that's good. I don't mean walk woke in the worldly sense of the term, cuz that would be destructive.
SO MANY "WOKE" PEOPLE KEEP TELLIN' US WHAT and how TO THINK, WHAT TO DO, HOW TO BEHAVE.. DAILY. WHAT TO SAY AND NOT TO SAY.
ARE WE, ARE THEY.. REALLY WOKE? or AWAKENED spiritually? ARE YOU?.. YA CAN BE. WE ALL CAN WALKwide-eyed, NOT SLEEP-walkin' into danger. ME THINKS IT'S REALLY A BETTER WAY TO GO - Awake.
“We are not going to move this world by criticism of it nor conformity to it, but by the combustion within it of lives ignited by the Spirit of God.” ~ Vance Havner
"But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, 'These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.'" ~ Acts 17:6
Let's change the world by God's power.. one person at a time. Jesus can save anyone!
Do you want to examine awake living verses woke? The early church wasn't all concerned about lookin' vogue with coffee, or relevant, or cool so as to get accepted. Naww, they weren't acting all weird either, but they were authentically awake. Not woke like so many people today. They turned their world upside down (or should I say right side up? So the sleeping would arise like from an effective alarm clock). And in this crazy, topsy-turvy world today where wrong is considered right and right is considered wrong, we need to do the same...the way they did it.
Pray and preach the Gospel winning people to Jesus. Watch and pray. Remember this.. we aren't going to awaken this world on our own or by self-righteous criticism. I don't want to be known by them more for all that I'm against pointing a finger of accusation, than what I am for. I'm for knowing the Lord well and for them too, and for making Him well known..and for them doing the same thing. I want to be so in love with my first-love Jesus, so filled with His JOY and Spirit of love and the truth of His word ...that they get thirsty when I simply brag on Christ! Lord, please revive -- give us renewed passion inside! Send another awakening.
R.A. TORREY GAVE US A PRESCRIPTION FOR BIBLICAL REVIVAL DURING A FEBRUARY 1917 ADDRESS AT THE MOODY BIBLE INSTITUTE:
"LET A FEW OF GOD'S PEOPLE, THEY DON'T NEED TO BE MANY, GET THOROUGHLY RIGHT WITH GOD THEMSELVES—THE REST WILL COUNT FOR NOTHING UNLESS YOU START RIGHT THERE; THEN LET THEM BAND THEMSELVES TOGETHER TO PRAY FOR A REVIVAL UNTIL GOD OPENS THE HEAVENS AND COMES DOWN. THEN LET THEM PUT THEMSELVES AT GOD'S DISPOSAL TO USE THEM AS HE SEES FIT. THAT WILL BRING A REVIVAL TO ANY CHURCH, ANY COMMUNITY."
Again, let’s..: 1) Get right with God, 2) get together with other Christians and pray for revival and 3) make yourself available to God, especially in winning souls.Spiritual awakening, that outpouring of the Spirit, is up to God. We can't organize it, but we can agonize for it in prayer and call upon God to send it.
Also, put this on your calendar: November 5th and 6th (livestreamed from Angel Stadium to you and your friends). And please pray early, that God sparks the flame of real revival in So Cal and beyond. @GregLaurie will be joined by Phil Wickham, Andy Mineo, Crowder, Jeremy Camp, and the Newsboys! Invite an unbeliever to join you seeing in or going to this—you can RSVP here (click).
Have you taken a stride from the Master's side? Got distracted, taken a glide..away? Man, do like ..in those words of John Lennon...
“Get back, get back, back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, BACK to where you once belonged
