I am awakening the sleeping saints. Many who once burned brightly for me have fallen silent. Hurts, disappointments and the distractions of this world have lulled them to sleep. They lie dormant in the shadows of my church.
Awake, O sleepers! The hour is late! Rub the sleep from your eyes. Take up your armour. It is time to storm the devil’s strongholds to set at liberty the captives. Rouse your companions. Prayer warriors to me! Gater in groups large and small. Togeter we will bring down the gates of the enemy.
Scriptures
… Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.
(Eph 5:14-16)
For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
(1Th 5:7-8)
“And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him [Jesus]. And unrolling the book, He found the place where it was written, “The Spirit of the Lord is on Me; because of this He has anointed Me to proclaim the Gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and new sight to the blind, to set at liberty those having been crushed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
(Luk 4:17-19)
Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
(Joh 8:34-36)
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
(Joh 14:12-14)
Then the disciples came to Jesus apart, and said, Why could we not cast him out? And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Move from here to there. And it shall move. And nothing shall be impossible to you. However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.
(Mat 17:19-21)
Again I say to you that if two of you shall agree on earth as regarding anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by My Father in Heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst.
(Mat 18:19-20)
For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
(2Co 10:3-4)
And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
(Mat 16:18)
