Sleep, wake up
(Ephesians 5:8-14)
(…) What is the church like? A place to clear your mind. Why did you build a church? The Lord established the church on this earth to awaken our hearts and make them rise. To preserve our hearts, He has established the Church to beautify your hearts and help you do what you cannot (…)
You have to wake up in the new year It should be the year in which the sleeper wakes up.(…) Today's Word is speaking to the sleeper.
① Sleeping people
Sleep refers to the physiological state of human beings. The sleeper and the dead, the apostle Paul speaks of, refer to those who are in sin. Because it smells like death, and it is a state of being inactive and seeing nothing. He does not hear God's warning, nor does he cry out, "What must I do to be saved?" These are people who have the form of godliness, but deny the power of godliness. I attend church faithfully. Legally, there is nothing wrong with it. There is no defect in the religious life, but truth and life are missing. But even though such a person is respected among men, he is invisible to God.(…) It is the deep sleep of the soul that keeps us from waking up. Comfort, defeatism, and selfishness are symptoms of a deep sleep in my soul. do you want to get up? Do you want our church to stand in the light for the salvation of souls? Amen if you want.
② To get up, you must have a goal.
You must have a vision. We can run only when we have a goal.(…) We have a goal in our church. We declare our mission together at each worship service. The first is to succeed in worship. This is a life that is right before God. The second is to learn and evangelize. learn the truth. We live by spreading this truth. The third is that one person serves one person. A small sharing, a small service, a life that warms the heart and the heart. Your home will be healthy. When all families are healthy, the country is strong. Please believe that a church that strengthens my life and strengthens my family will become a beautiful church and a powerful church. Since the goal was set, the class meeting has changed. The elders and priests are moving. Because of this dream, our church will rise and please believe that it will surely happen.
③ The light of the Lord shines on you.
Who is a Christian? He is the one whose light has been shone. Religion is a participation in the divinity of God. It is the life of God in the human soul and Christ drawn in the heart. Jesus Christ in you is the hope of glory. This is happiness and holiness. It is the heaven that begins on this earth and the kingdom of God within us. Not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace in the Holy Spirit.
We need God's help, the strength of the Spirit. For that to happen, there must be a prayer movement. The Word movement must take place. The Holy Spirit works. Without repentance, prayer, and the Word, the Holy Spirit does not work. A gathering without the work of the Holy Spirit becomes a group and a crowd, but the light of the Lord does not shine. There are many gatherings, but I earnestly pray that there will be gatherings with the Holy Spirit. Amen
