Wake Up!!

I was reading the other day and one of the scriptures jumped off of the page. "When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James, and the child’s father and mother. Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.”~Luke8:51-52 So I came today to let you know that you are not dead you have been asleep! So I shout today wake up! It is time to rise and go forth your morning has come! “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.~Isaiah60:1

For far too long many have felt dead. You have felt dead and you have acted dead! No life has come forth from you. No new ideas, no new visions, no new dreams, and no excitement! So let today be the day that you have a spiritual awakening! Let today be the day that you refuse to lay down and die or to stay down and be counted out! Let today be the day that you make up in your mind that you are not dead but you have been asleep! You have been asleep for too long! When something does not move for awhile it is easy to assume that it is dead! Because of your lack of growth and movement many have counted you out, but today is the day for you to rise up and go forth! You now what happens when you sleep for to long? It takes all of your energy! Have you ever slept so long that you felt worse when you actually got up! You just got too much sleep! My friend you have been sleeping for too long!! Wake UP!

We have to be careful who is around us speaking into our lives! When you allow the wrong people to speak into your life they can declare you dead! They can already have your obituary wrote up and printed in the paper. When we allow the wrong people to speak into our lives they can get us to stop believing what the word of God says. That is why Jesus removed everyone when he went to the house of Jairus. Everyone was put out of the room except for those people that had faith to believe! He did not need those in the room that were going to be weeping because they thought the girl was dead! Jesus did not need or want anyone in the room that was declaring she was dead. This shows us we have to remove some people from around us that are weeping and declaring that we are dead! It also lets us know that we need to place people around us that have the faith to believe that we are going to live!

So rise up my brother and sister! Don't allow your current situation to cause you to think you are dead! You are alive! You are blessed! You are going to go forth and do everything that God has predestined for you to do! You are going to rise up and declare the word of the Lord! My friend you are not dead you are sleeping! Wake up and go forth and do the things that God has purposed for you to do!
