Inheritance: Fully Awake - Ephesians 5:8-17

In order to take hold of our full inheritance as believers - sons and daughters of God - we must be fully awake. Ephesians 5 and 6 call us to wake up from our sleep so that we might know where exactly God is leading us and where His blessings are found. We are often exhausted and strung out, going about half-asleep, with a lack of awareness. If we are not resting in Christ, we won't be able to be fully awake to God's Will for us. Rest assured, if we are not fully awake, there is an enemy seeking to take advantage of our vulnerability. In the very areas that God wants to work the most in our lives, Satan takes aim at us. Ephesians tells us that the days are not neutral- they are evil and deceptive. Today's evil works to prevent us from arriving at tomorrow's blessing and eternity's reward. We must be fully awake to God's Will and fully aware of what's at risk.
