Wake Up
All throughout
history in any war that has lasted for a long period of time, once the momentum
has swung convincingly to one side, the rules of engagement are abandoned and
horrible atrocities are committed. Once desperation has set in, we witness
human nature at its worst, attempted genocide, rape, maiming, and murder of non
combatants. We see the destruction of infrastructure, agriculture, wiping out of
live stock, burning down homes, all for the sole purpose of destroying any
chance of a future for “the winning side”. What does this have to do with you?
Simple, whether you believe in air, gravity, or the spiritual realm they are
very real! After the most recent event where an entire first grade class was
taken from this world, maybe half of the class of 2020 and 2024 from one town
will be missing, because of a horrible act by a broken man used by a desperate enemy.
This was a clear sign of desperation; and the scariest thing is and the
question that came to my mind is: is the devil more sensitive to what’s going
on as far as God’s will than we are? So much so that we see a sense of urgency
by the devil unmatched & unanswered by the Christian world. Is it possible
that he’s becoming more & more desperate in the face of his impending doom
and we are becoming more comfortable, complacent and disconnected? If he’s worried,
shouldn’t we be paying closer attention as to why? Are we missing something? If
we are, is it because we’ve fallen asleep at, or abandoned, our post
completely? If this is true, how can the devil be more aware, or have a better
sense of, what God is doing than God’s own people – praying, church-going
people? Just because the battle is the Lord’s doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be
paying attention. I was convicted & repented again for all the time I waste.
I should wear glasses (even though I’ve claimed my healing … LOL seriously); I can see the world better spiritually than I ever
could physically. All I have to do is the hardest easiest thing I’ve ever tried
to do, draw closer to the only hope of real safety, real security, real peace possible,
Jesus Christ!
Romans 13:11-14 Amplified Bible (AMP) 11 Besides
this you know what [a critical] hour this is, how it is high time now for you
to wake up out of your sleep (rouse to reality). For salvation (final
deliverance) is nearer to us now than when we first believed (adhered to, trusted
in, and relied on Christ, the Messiah).12 The night is far gone
and the day is almost here. Let us then drop (fling away) the works and
deeds of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light.13 Let
us live and conduct ourselves honorably and becomingly as in the
[open light of] day, not in reveling (carousing) and drunkenness, not in
immorality and debauchery (sensuality and licentiousness), not in quarreling
and jealousy.14 But clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ
(the Messiah), and make no provision for [indulging] the flesh [put a stop to
thinking about the evil cravings of your physical nature] to [gratify its]
desires (lusts).
