AWAKEN

Ephesians 5:14-20

 ¹⁴ This is why it is said:

“Wake up, sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”

¹⁵ Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, ¹⁶ making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. ¹⁷ Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. ¹⁸ Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, ¹⁹ speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, ²⁰ always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Getting serious about how and what we do will require us to look within ourselves.  We need to wake up and rise!  Rise to the level where GOD is calling us to go.  I know that we have all heard GOD calling us.  Some have pushed His voice from our ears and have chosen our way over His.  Some of us are trying to wake up but keep hitting the snooze button on our spiritual calling in life.  GOD is still calling, and waiting for us to awaken.  When we are spiritually dead our works are self-centered.  Self-indulgences and self-fulfillment will only leave you empty  

 

Fill yourself with the love, power, and wisdom of GOD by allowing GOD to shine in your life.  Become a living example and a testimony for the spirit of GOD in your life.  Let all who see you see Christ in you.  Let the person you used to be die and rise a new person in Christ!  Then, and only then, you will truly be on the path GOD has set before you.  In all things keep GOD and his will for your life first.  Set the ways of the flesh behind you and never look back.  Each day grow in and towards a life that expresses your new nature in Christ!  Wake up and rise from the deadly ways that has trapped the world in sin.  Wake up and let Love become the guide that governs each moment of your life.   Wake up and live for Christ.

 

Remember I love you always and in all ways.
