Wake Up!
The Lord says,
My people are wasting away. Many of My people are wasting time, biding time, drifting, lost and alone, depressed and bereft and without vision for the future; listless, without hope, without a plan, without a will to do more. They move aimlessly from one day to the next, going through the motions but achieving little for themselves, their families or for My cause. Wake up! Wake up you zombie sleepers! Wake up you desolate ones! Wake up you sad and lonely! Wake up you aimless ones! This is not the life I have called you to! This is not life at all! I have created you for and called you to life more abundant, a life of joy, of adventure, of hope springing eternal, of peace, of celebration, of conquests against darkness, of pulling down the strongholds of the adversary in high places. You are called to be awake, to be alive, to be filled with My Spirit and to charge, to advance, and to dance!
Don’t continue this listless life. Don’t keep wasting days. Wake up My people! Wake up! Seek My face! In worship, you will find your value. In worship, you will see your worth. In worship you will find your purpose. All of these things I will reveal to you as you worship Me.
Worship can be a sacrifice. Bring Me the sacrifice of praise when you don’t feel like it, when you don’t have the heart for it, when you don’t have the energy or the motivation. Bring Me the sacrifice of praise, and I will be faithful to reveal Myself, My purposes, and share with you pieces of Your destiny in Me. I will give you action. I will restore your soul, your purpose, your will to serve Me, your joy, your energy. I will restore all of these things, but you have a part in it. Your part is to wake up, seek Me, and worship even if it is a sacrifice. As you do, all of these things, I will add to you. You have to participate. You have steps to take. Wake up!
Don’t let depression overtake you. Don’t let despair overwhelm you. Don’t let the news or life circumstances take you out of the game. Put one foot in front of the other. Let your mouth be filled with worship, and watch as I move and make great changes. I’m calling you to participate in your own healing and in the healing of the land. Wake up, get up! Shake off the sleep, and seek Me. I have work for you. I have action for you. Seek, worship and even dance! Watch how I revive your heart and soul.
I will restore to you the joy of celebration. Those things you used to find joy in and take pleasure in that you now do listlessly, I will restore. I will restore joy to those former pleasures. I will restore light to your eyes and a smile to your face. Look up. Look to Me. Worship, sing, seek, dance. And you will see Me move.
Seeking A Bride
The Lord says,
I Am looking for a strong Bride. I Am looking for a lovestruck, pure Bride. One who has pursued Me, who seeks Me daily, who sings her love songs to Me. This is the Bride I Am seeking in the Earth. This is what My Church and my laid down lovers look like.
There is yet place, there is still room for those who are broken, bruised and beaten down, for those who are wandering, alone and adrift. These I Am calling to Myself, to be restored, to be purified, to fall in love, and to be counted as one with My Bride. Even now, I Am calling. Come. And My Bride who knows My heart and loves My ways, is calling, come. We will take you in. We will lead you in to green pastures and beside still waters, and I will restore your soul. We will teach you many things about My Word, about My ways, about who I made you and designed you to be before time began.
The Bride is My Church. Not any church, not all churches. My Bride is those who seek Me with all of their hearts, who love Me, who are walking in purity, and who honor and teach the Pure Gospel without mixture. This is not every church. Seek Me and ask Me which churches operate in the Spirit of the Bride. Ask Me which ones seek after My Holy Spirit, welcome My Spirit, honor My Spirit, My ways, and teach the Pure Gospel with no mixture, no added requirements, no guilt and no shame. Ask Me and I will tell you. I will guide you. I will draw you. I will invite you. The Spirit and the Bride say come.
How to Respond
- Worship the Lord with a new song. Give Him praise from your lack. Soon He will make it so that you can praise from the overflow.
- Here’s a good one that I have on repeat: Alive & Breathing.
- Seek the Lord. Read His Word, and ask Him to reveal Himself, His ways, and His purposes for your life.
- Choose joy and ask the Lord to fill you with the joy of His Spirit, with the joy of His Presence.
- Ask the Lord to reveal to you if the church you are attending is teaching the Pure Gospel — with no omissions and no additions, with no extra requirements. The Lord only requires that we come to the feet of Jesus to repent for our sins, ask for forgiveness, and accept His offer to come into and lead our lives from here forward.
- Ask the Lord for discernment regarding the teachings of your church. Be flexible and willing to move if He calls you to go elsewhere.
