10/05/15  ALARM:  A GREATER WAKE UP CALL

HEARD:   A greater awakening. 

HEARD AND SAW:  I heard and saw the word ALERT. 

A wake up call is usually ALARMing circumstances.  For Oregon, we had a school shooting that ended in Christian martyrdom, a couple bomb threats and then there were copycat bomb threats in the country. 

COFFEE QUOTE: ~Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

“If this is coffee, then please-bring me some tea. But if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.”   

Problem:  Not able to discern the difference between two things that look and taste similar.

Resolution: Exercise your spiritual senses to be able to discern. It is the goodness of God that brings repentance.

Heb 5:14 NKJV

But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

1 Thess 5:4-7  NKJV

But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.

WAKE UP AND RESIST COMPLACENCY  11/02/00

This is a time to press in and resist complacency.  The enemy desires to place a spirit of slumber upon My people and put them back to sleep, even while they are stirring awake.  Fight the fleshly urges to be at ease.  For those who say all is well, trusting in the world and the strength of their own flesh, these will be caught unaware of what lies beneath the surface of their drowsiness.  They have been lulled into being lukewarm by the pleasures of this world, and the riches of deceitful things.  They do not perceive that these are demonic lures whose end is death.

Rather, wake up and call for the intercessors. Pray for your leaders, pray for your cities, pray for your churches.  Pray that righteous leaders will rise up and lead a scattered flock.  Pray they are protected from evil, pray they will stand against the lures of the world and follow their conscience.

Seek My face, early and late.  Gather to pray, gather to worship and meet Me in your midst.  Gather My musicians.  For I dwell in the midst of praise and as you seek Me through these means, I will bless you and keep you alert to all you need to know.

“And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.”  (Lu 8:14 KJV)

 “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”  (Re 3:16 KJV)

STRONG CUP TO WAKE UP  4/01/09

It is high time to swallow the cup that is set before those who are still in spiritual slumber.  I AM giving strong wake up calls to those I love and who will listen.  Nightfall grows darker and I AM calling many to repentance to have their sins washed away.  Cast off the works of darkness and put on the light of Jesus Christ.

1Co 6:9-11 AMP

Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality, 10 Nor cheats (swindlers and thieves), nor greedy graspers, nor drunkards, nor foulmouthed revilers and slanderers, nor extortioners and robbers will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God. 11 And such some of you were [once]. But you were washed clean (purified by a complete atonement for sin and made free from the guilt of sin), and you were consecrated (set apart, hallowed), and you were justified [pronounced righteous, by trusting] in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God.

Ro 13:11-14 NKJV

And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
