Wake Up, Oh Sleeper — Jeremy Johnson

All throughout the Bible God would constantly ask the Israelites to remember. Because sometimes looking back at the things that God got you through can give you the courage and confidence to believe that He's going to get you through the now. But there are times that the Lord says, "I need you to forget the former things and perceive the new." If we are looking back we will never be able to move forward into what He's wanting to do through us. When we start living in a way that fills our house with light, we can be entrusted to change the neighborhood and then the world! The church has buildings but little boldness The church haha numbers but little nerve  The church has comfort but little courage  The church has status but little spirit  The church has prestige but little power  The church has knowledge but little wisdom The church has influence but little integrity  The church has resources but little resolve  The church has activity but little anointing  The church has sermons  but little sincerity  The church has knowledge but little kindness  The church has rituals but little relationship The church has tradition but little transformation  The church has programs but little purpose God wants a new church come that will not just light a lamp during the day but will burn brightly at night. The talents that God gives us are merely lampstands to show off and reflect His glory so let's wake up oh sleeper and allow Him to use us as vessels to promote His glory!
