Wake up child!

Welcome to the lifestyles of the anointed 

When you turn on the television and listen to the news, it isn't hard to tell what times we are in. It really takes little discernment to understand what is going on both in the spirit as well as in the natural (John 10:10) As people seemingly just in the mess, helplessness is easy to fall into. Thinking, feeling and wondering what role do we play in all of this. 

The bible tells us many things about ourselves such as who we are in God, what we have been made to do for Him and His kingdom, and what power has be afforded us. What we must understand isn't solely these things but we must also understand how to utilize what we have been given. In other words children of God, it's our time to wake up, be attentive and be active. 

Acts 1:8 "8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

This scripture has been used over and over to explain what happens after we have received the Holy Spirit but we often miss something. The verse says that we are to be witnesses of Christ, that after we have received the Holy Spirit and His power that we are to show the world Christ. Well what did Christ do in His time, what was His objective in the world, what was He sent here to do?

In the time that Christ spent on Earth His main job was to redeem a lost people unto the Father, He was to sacrifice Himself so that a high price may be paid to equate for the world's sin. What good would it have done for Christ to do all that and not cause any change, it would've been like putting a band-aid on a gaping wound. 

Children, believers, followers and disciples we have been given the same power that Christ used in His time to do the exact same thing. We are not only saving the lives of the lost but we are causing change in the world so that the effort perpetuates itself.  This may seem like a daunting task but look who we have backing us up, our power source is unlimited and just waiting for us. We are His agents in the world and He seeks to use each and every one of us for His glory. And as an added benefit we have millions of people to assist us, fellow brothers and sisters in faith, Christ had 12 and we have 3 million!!!

So I say to us all its our time to wake up and get involved in this world, we cannot be a catalyst for change and never make a move. We must pray and intercede for the world we live in, we must live lives that portray the existence of Christ and the indwelling of His Holy Spirit, and we must be the change that our Father wishes to see in the world....
