It's Time To {Wake Up}
It’s time to wake up from this spiritual coma America has fallen into. It’s steady decline in value, morals, and faith is putrid. But, you know what the truth is? You know what the bottom line, the big white elephant in the room, the irritating itch you just can’t scratch is??? It’s the American Christians. Did you read me?? It’s America’s [CHRISTIANS] fault. Yes, that is what I said. It’s {OUR} fault!! It’s the believer’s fault for not {standing} for what is right, just, moral, biblical, worthy, and constitutional in this country. We stand on the side lines and moan, groan, and debate about other people who aren’t taking a stand. HELLO!! While we stand, twiddling our thumbs about others, this country is falling to pieces. It’s time to stand for Christ. Phillipians 1:15-21 “Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
If God is giving you a passion for something, then {STAND} for it! Pray and ask God to show you what it is He wants you to do. Ask Him for wisdom. Proverbs 2:6 “For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding“. It may not be a big part, it may be raising a God fearing, faith building, praying together kind of family. If so, stand for family and it’s rights.
God gives us each a mission. Where ever He leads you, He’ll hold you. Psams 139:10 “Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.” Stop trying to live your life for you. Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” God’s way has much more fulfilling, more peace, more blessing. Ephesians 2:14a “For he is our peace…”
If you’re trying to do something, anything, weather it be buying a house, going on a mission trip, getting into a relationship, going to college, or just everyday things around the house, pray about it. Give your plans to God. If it’s His will He’ll give you peace. If you’re a teenager, like myself, pray about what ever it is you think God is wanting you to do. If it’s His will He’ll give you peace, and He’ll give your parents peace.
One thing I’ve learned, and still am learning, is that if my dad doesn’t have peace about something I don’t get peace about it. Until God gives my dad peace about something, I won’t have it either. I’m learning to pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 “Pray without ceasing.”
It’s time to wake up! We were made by Him and for Him. He made you! He has a journey for each of us to embark on. No two journeys are the same, each are unique, in their own unique way, with God’s unique time.
