AWAKENED BY THE POWER OF CHRIST’S RESURRECTION

April 5, 2026 5:22 pm , 4 Comments ,

Easter is my favorite holiday because nothing compares to the glory of Christ’s resurrection. Today, I’m soaking up the beauty of the springtime flowers and pondering how grateful I am for the cross of Christ.

With overwhelming gratitude, I feel like climbing to the top of the mountain where I live and shouting, “JESUS IS ALIVE!” I’m not sure if I will shout from the mountaintop, but I will always shout praises to Jesus during times of worship at home and gatherings with other believers.

Without the resurrection of Christ, we would be bound to spiritual death. Because of Christ’s resurrection, we are given new life and awakened spiritually by the same power that raised Jesus back to life. The resurrection of Christ is what empowers us to live fully alive and remain spiritually awake every day.

There is nothing more exciting than being fully alive and awakened by the Spirit of God. My prayer is that countless people will experience awakening and new life in Christ today.

LORD,

Thank You for dying on the cross so that we may have eternal life and live free from sin. Thank You for awakening us with Your resurrection power and giving us new life in You. Renew our spirits and help us live every moment fully awakened in Christ. Help us live a life of repentance and let us turn away from the things that deaden our spirit. Fill us with more of Your Holy Spirit so that our soul will stay fully awakened and let us soar like the wings of eagles eternally.

Bring hope and life to countless people today. Let the greatest spiritual awakening known to mankind come forth during the days ahead. We await Your second coming with excitement and joy. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26 (NKJV)

Happy Easter!

A PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

April 11, 2022 2:19 am , Leave a Comment ,

Sometimes a person can be sleeping so soundly that it seems nearly impossible to wake them up. During my son’s teen years, he was not easily awakened in the morning. As I tried to wake him by gently tapping on his shoulder, he would grunt and then fall back to sleep. After trying to gently awaken him several times without success, I would bring our very energetic dog, Zoe, into my son’s room. With Zoe jumping on my son’s bed and licking his face, he was abruptly awakened unexpectedly. The memory of waking my son from his deep slumber reminds me of the difficulty of awakening the people who are spiritually asleep.

Ephesians 5:11-17 (The Message) says: “Don’t waste your time on useless work, mere busywork, the barren pursuits of darkness. Expose these things for the sham they are. It’s a scandal when people waste their lives on things they must do in the darkness where no one will see. Rip the cover off those frauds and see how attractive they look in the light of Christ. Wake up from your sleep. Climb out of your coffins; Christ will show you the light! So watch your step. Use your head. Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times! Don’t live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants.”

I believe that there has never been a more important time than now for God’s people to be fully awake. The CHURCH is beginning to arise. However, there are many believers in Christ who are not fully awakened. Many are still living without a sense of urgency for the need of persistent prayer.

We are living in desperate times that require desperate prayers. We don’t need to be afraid. But we need to be alert and fully awake so that we’re prepared for the coming changes in the world. Otherwise, we may become awakened abruptly and quickly in an uncomfortable way.

As I wrote in a previous post, the Lord spoke words to my heart about the future changes. I heard these words in my heart: “Human systems are being broken down so that kingdom systems can be built.” In other words, God is tearing down the systems that are not of His kingdom. As I pondered those words, I thought about the disappointment of people that have placed their hope in the systems built by men. The upcoming days, months, and years will be very disappointing for people who are not spiritually awake and surrendered fully to Christ.

There are signs revealing that Christ’s return could possibly be within a few years. It’s time to shine Christ’s light brighter than ever. It’s time to partner with Christ to help bring a multitude of souls into His kingdom. It’s time to pray with fervency like never before.

Jesus is coming back. Are you ready?

LORD,

Thank You for loving us perfectly. Thank You for pouring out Your Spirit and filling our nation with Your glory. We come to You and humbly repent of the sins that hinder us from doing Your will for our lives. Wake us up from our spiritual slumber and help us live every moment fully awakened in Christ. Awaken us completely and help us keep our eyes continually focused upon You. Help us take our eyes off of the trivial things of this world and let us do the work You’ve called us to do while on the earth. Use us to lead people to Your saving grace and use us to bring hope to people in desperate need. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
