Category: Awaken From Spiritual Slumber

²⁴ When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ ²⁵ And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order. ²⁶ Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that person is worse than the first. ~ Luke 11:24–26

Evil spirits are real. The demonic is real. Possession is real. Do not be fooled into believing that it is all fun and games. Do not let the prettiness of evil all dressed up fool you.

Snow White was fooled by the pretty red delicious apple, but one bite sent her into a deep sleep that she could not wake up from. So, the Church is being fooled by programming labeled as family or children’s entertainment, but it is not.

The Christian Church must wake up. We must raise our standards. There is a war going on—a spiritual war for our very souls. We can’t bury our heads in the sand like an ostrich. We have to wake up and start to fight for not only ourselves but for our families as well. We don’t have much longer on this earth. In the blink of an eye, it can all come to an end, so make today the day of change. The day of salvation. The day of awakening. The day of fighting.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Start to Fight.

¹² There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. ~ Proverbs 14:12

If you have spiritually fallen asleep, you will not recognize that you are on the wrong path because the thing that is presented to you might feel good. It might even seem good, but the end of that road is death. Snow White had no clue the apple was poisoned. Otherwise, she would not have partaken.

You see, sometimes we get so caught up in the disguise that we don’t see the evil inside until we have taken a bite, and it’s much too late because the poison has already entered our body.

This is how evil is presented to us. Nice and beautiful. Delicious and sweet. Like a red shiny delicious apple and we take a bite, and we don’t even know that we have fallen asleep.

It is not presented as evil by the most wicked person we can think of. Neither does it come from a man with horns and a pointy tail, dressed in a red suit waving a pitchfork. But rather, it comes like an innocent old lady—a grandmother type with a basket of beautiful red delicious apples.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Stop Eating Their Apple.

¹⁴ Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? ¹⁵ What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? ^16a What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; ~ 2 Corinthians 6:14–18

When movies, television shows, children programs begin to invoke demons, cast spells, and conjure up the supernatural, and practice the magical arts, it is time for you to exit stage left. Do not pass Go and do not collect $200.

Please listen to me, do not be deceived into staying in the water because it feels fine. It’s still comfortable, but before you know it, it will be too late, the water will be too hot for you and for your children to jump out.

Just like Snow White was unaware of what was in the bright shiny red delicious apple until it was too late, so it will be with each one who takes the occult into his or her home.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Beware of Poisoned Apples.

⁸ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. ~ Hebrews 13:8

Some things for us, Christians, do not change. We are held to a higher standard, and no matter how they try to blur the lines, mix the religions, turn evil into good and wickedness harmless, we must keep ourselves separate from the evil and wickedness. It doesn’t matter how innocent it is presented to us and to our children; we have to discern the difference between good and evil according to the Scripture, not culture.

I would venture to say that more children have read the Harry Potter book series than they have read the Bible. The very words of life.

Remember this one thing. You can open spiritual doors. When you bring the accursed into your homes either through images, books, or television, you can open spiritual doors. You can invite spirits into your homes and into your lives.

Be careful of the occult. Be careful of falling asleep. The time is short. The time is now.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Be Careful of the Boiling Water.

²³ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ~ Romans 3:23

No matter how they try to blur the lines, there is a difference between light and darkness, good and evil. The days are upon us when those who are not in communion with God won’t recognize the difference because of the great delusion. They, in essence, have fallen asleep.

They are now calling good evil and evil good. They have blurred the lines to the point where those Christians who have fallen asleep struggle to tell the difference. Things that have been settled by the Church for 2,000 years are now being brought into question and accepted because it is deemed to be politically correct.

Don’t fall for the disguise that the world has put on. What the world calls progress isn’t always progress. Don’t let them lull you to sleep. Take everything they tell you with a fine-tooth comb. Compare everything they say to Scripture. Don’t fall into the trap they have set for us, for we as sheep amongst wolves, so be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Look Beyond Their Disguise.

²⁰ For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power. ~ 1 Corinthians 4:20

Today’s Church has become very judgmental of the very idea of miracles performed today. There is a large number of Christians who reject the very idea of Spiritual Gifts. Why? Because our enemy is smart. He is cunning. He understands that if we are filled with the power of God, then we will turn the whole world upside down as Jesus and the early apostles did. That we will grow closer to God. That more people could be saved, so he keeps us powerless.

Why would the Kingdom of God consist of power in Paul’s day but not ours? Did God suddenly change? No. God doesn’t change. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So, the enemy tries to weaken the Church because it’s through gifts that we not only encourage ourselves, but we encourage others. Sickness, depression, anger, disease are running rampant, and the world can do nothing about it. This is the enemy’s game, weaken the Church, and the whole earth is his.

Therefore, we all need to awaken from our spiritual slumber that has kept us weak and in the dark. We must learn to walk in the power of God and not just talk. When Christ returns, we can’t be caught sleeping. We need to awaken. We need to walk in Spirit and Truth.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Walk in Spirit and Truth.

¹ Truly God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. ² But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had nearly slipped. ³ For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. ~ Psalms 73:1–19

Today, we Christians have taken our eyes off of the eternal.

• • We no longer look to Jesus
  • We no longer stand on His promises
  • We no longer rest secure in His Word
  • We no longer take comfort in, “Thus sayeth the LORD.”

When we look to Hollywood and celebrities for guidance, when we look to our politicians and our representative for hope, or when we completely abandoned Jesus and His promises, we will be greatly disappointed because the majority of the time, the politician does not necessarily have our best interest in at heart.

I wish the Church would get back to the Biblical truths instead of getting in bed with the enemy.

The Psalm we just read is a prime example of the Church today. We’ve fallen spiritually asleep because we are too caught up in the tv shows, Hollywood, and the rich and famous that we seem to think that they are our best friends, and we are prepared to fight tooth and nail to defend them.

Christians are prepared to get up at 3 O’Clock in the morning to watch the royal wedding but can’t get up for 10 am to go to church. Hmmm!

The world and all of its delicacies is constantly trying to woo us over. We see them driving the nice cars, and some have their own jet. They live in huge mansions with exquisite Olympic pools and beautiful gardens. And it’s easy to get lost in all the noise, but we have to stand firm. We have to focus on the Almighty. We have to turn our attention to God because it’s only through Him that we have life. If we don’t, we’ll remain in a spiritual slumber that will lead to a spiritual death.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Change Your Focus.

²⁰ And she said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he awoke from his sleep and said, “I will go out as at other times and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had left him. ~ Judges 16:20

Samson had grown so spiritually cold that he couldn’t feel when the Spirit of the LORD left him. Samson had become spiritually asleep. He was the Judge at the time. The leader of the people of Israel, and yet, even he succumbed to the distractions of this world. And when the Philistines came, he could no longer defend himself. Samson had become just as weak as everyone else. He had become human.

This still happens to us today. We allow the distractions of this world to slowly wean us off of God so that we don’t even realize that we are no longer abiding in His love. They distract us with our jobs, family, friends, past, television, riots and chaos, depression and grief, and every kind of temptation known to man. The world keeps us so busy that we forget to make time for God, and we stray from His protecting presence. Then when the world attacks, we are like a sitting duck. We have nothing to protect us.

But just as God redeemed Samson when he humbled himself and called out to Him, so will He redeem us when we humble ourselves and call out to Him. Our God didn’t die on the cross and rise again just to leave us in chains and slaves to sin. No matter what we’ve done or how far we’ve run, God will always come running to our rescue when we bend our knees and call on His name.

LORD God, please awaken the sleeping spirit within us. Let us hear Your voice and feel Your Holy presence once again. Help us to be aware of the distractions of the world surrounding us, that we might not fall into any trap set before us. Guide us on our journey back to You, LORD God. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
