Shaken Out of Slumber

Melissa Gabler—Many times I have heard that awakening is coming. Let me add that, more recently, I have been hearing words about not only awakening coming to the nations but to the church.  Well, that also sounded really good and I have been all for that too! Still, being transparent, I wasn’t quite getting it yet.  Sometimes it’s easy to point the finger at a church I think isn’t awake.  I just know the Holy Spirit is like, “Aww, bless her heart. She thinks she’s awake!” Then He graciously begins to shake me out of my slumber and I can only fall silent in amazement.  For this reason He says, “Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine [as dawn] upon you and give you light.” (Ephesians 5:14 AMP)


Not Doze at Time of Opportunity

May the people of God be stirred to awaken to the light of Christ who shows them the path away from fraud and error. May they awaken from all sense of slumber and not doze at time of opportunity.   “Wake up from your sleep, Climb out of your coffins; Christ will show you the light!” (Eph. 5:14, Msg)

Our Guardian Never Sleeps

man in yellow fieldAs the people of God assemble today, may there be reports spoken of what God IS doing and conversations about what seems to NOT be happening be muted. May it be known that God is speaking and God is acting in behalf of His people for the sake of His purposes.
“He won’t let you stumble, your Guardian God won’t fall asleep. Not on your life! Israel’s Guardian will never doze or sleep. (Ps.121:3-4, Msg)
