Rude Awakenings Make Us Sober Enough to Overcome

PRAY WITH US about rude awakenings make us sober: Father God, we thank You for sending Jesus, the light of the world. Ever since You said, “Let there be light,” He has been awakening us to the world You created as good. But since the Fall, He has also been awakening us to the world man has made evil. Now that this world has fallen deeper into sin and darkness, we need His light all the more. To see the difference between Your works and the enemy’s works. And to side with Jesus who came to destroy all the works of the enemy.

He has made us sons of the Light, who do not take part in works of darkness, but rather expose them. Through us expose the evils of fake news, woke solutions, deceptive drugs and vaccines, sexual confusion, and anti-Jewish and anti-Christian terrorism. And show us how to do so protected with the breastplate of faith and love. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith—and Your love. In Jesus’ name, amen.

PRAYER ALERT: Rude Awakenings Make Us Sober Enough to Overcome

The apostle Paul connects the end-time “day of the Lord” with living in His day all the time. And he contrasts it with living in the night the way unbelievers do (1 Thess. 5:2-8). They say “Peace & safety!” because they live in the night all the time. They don’t see the dangers we see because we live in the day.

So on them “destruction will come…suddenly like labor pains.” But believers are “sons of light and sons of day, so let us not sleep as others do.”

For years we have been longing for an awakening, a revival across the land in a great move of God. Like the Toronto Revival of the 90s, or awakenings in different places about 15 years ago. They featured long services, nonstop worship, miracles, and laughing in the Spirit as in Ps. 126. Or getting drunk in the Spirit as in Acts chapter 2.

But if we see awakening as only getting drunk in the Spirit, we will miss the awakenings God is sending now. Rude awakenings of getting sober in the Spirit. For “those who get drunk get drunk at night. But since we are of the day, let us be sober”…
