Awaken

It’s time to prepare beloved of God. It’s time to prepare yourselves for the days ahead. It’s time to train your spirit, soul, and body to be surrendered to God. It’s time to take a deeper step into obedience in everyday life. It’s time to be led by the Holy Spirit in all things. It’s time to wake up and say to the Lord….”what do you want me to do today” or get quiet and listen to see what He will say to you.

Romans 8:14 “ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.”

It’s time to be spirit ruled and not flesh ruled.

Romans 8:13, “ For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.”

It’s time to surrender all and return to our first love, beloved remnant of God. It’s time to fast and pray and get so close to Jesus that He once again becomes our all in all as He was in the beginning.

Revelation 2:4-7  “Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.  Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.  But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.  “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.”’

It’s a painful journey, if you are like me. I thought I was fine! Then the Lord said to me “You have an idol”. I was floored! “What!! I love you Lord…how could I have an idol?” He quickly said….”You have your children as an idol in your heart.” As soon as He said it, I knew. I had been mourning a tragedy that happened to my daughter.  It occupied my thoughts night and day! And I was truly unaware of how much of my thought life was about that. I quickly surrendered it to the Lord and began a journey to find out what else I was blind to! And He graciously has taken my hand and is leading me into a place back to my first love and works and preparing me for beyond.

If you have had a calling on your life or suspect you do. Do not give up hope just because the country is falling apart and the hour is late. Dust off your hopes that God is great enough to complete that which He began in you long ago….or maybe recently for some.

Phillipians 1:6 “ being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;”

Go Deeper Beloved of God…..God Deeper

I will leave you with this poem.  Blessings! Have a wonderful day!

AWAKEN THE SEEKER

Deeper and deeper and deeper we go

So many mysteries

We must continue to grow

Digging beneath what seems to be real

We search out to discover

What’s under the seal

If life ever seems to stagnate and plateau

Go back to the mystery

Think of all you don’t know

There’s a joy in the seeking, a hunger in our souls

We are made to keep drinking

To fill up that hole

Let not monotony darken your heart

There’s a mystery awaiting

You just have to start

Never too old, never too late

To awaken the seeker

To finish God’s mandate
