When I saw the Gypsy Mama Five Minute Friday word, I knew I had to participate. The Five Minute Friday: AWAKE!
GO!
“Wake up, O sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”
Ephesians 5:14
I am forever changed by the word Awake! Next weekend, women will gather at our church for the Awaken conference – the conference that I worked so hard to write the material for. I anticipate Him to show up next weekend. I sincerely hope He shows up as mightily in our meeting room as He’s shown up in my heart as I’ve written.
The odd thing is that I see the word Awake everywhere now. I sense God calling His people all over the world to wake up. I sense His movement. I expect His face. I yearn for His revival. I hope for the Great Awakening – an expected movement that can only be done by Him to change hearts and lives, to open us all up for what He wants to do – to make us hungry for more of Him.
Lord, awaken your church. Awaken our souls! Let us rise from the dead so that many more will know and believe on your name. Be faithful to the yearning I sense. Shine your light on our hearts, our souls.
Let us know your covering, your presence, your voice, your peace, and be aware of the eternal battle going on at all times around us.
Be gentle with us, yet I believe your wake up call is instantaneously life changing!
STOP!
