27 March Wake Up from your slumber
Find me the price for you. You're more than welcome. We're not going to look. And I don't want to know the message this morning. I'm going to speak about white out of your Slumber. This is something that's been on my heart for a while. And then I think it's not just just year and I see it in our church, but I see it in a spiritual, you know, if you can look around at the Christians, we how many of you are excited this morning Julie excited by what God is doing Raise Your Hands in the Sky. How many of you come to church, just because you come to church? Because it's a nice thing to do and it's like a TV year and all of that that we need to wake up so much more from us than just what, what's your, what's your idea?
We lost ever. Have you ever really really loved any energy life for Godwin lost. Every every we lost the respect to somebody about the things of God and raise your hands. I'm just asking this is retarded questions. You need to think about it because I can't this morning. You got your life must be a lot of energy cuz God is energy. God God creates life, and you need to touch people's loves you, not doing that. You need really need to look into speak to flee to see what's happening.
God wants so much more first wake up and start living a full life. Get excited about God's not living with patient. So we will be speaking about spiritual lethargy. We can also call it spiritual thought in as you did. And what does legal mean?
How to open a slight, the definition is laziness or lack of energy you TV and just realize what this is. This is laziness. Go to the next Lottery. So, I could go back to the slot on what date? Spiritual lethargy, means days, that means relating to license like it needs a spiritual. Lethargy means in difference to one's graph with God, and the things of God. It didn't difference to one's growth with God. And the things of God, what does indifference mean? It means having no particular interest of sympathy being unconcerned about stuff. Being. I'm concerned about the things of God, this morning. I want to tell you that you're not. If you're not living your life daily for God, you aren't concerned with the things of God life happens and sometimes that leads you not to focus on God, but I want to tell you this morning. God doesn't want it. What does God really want from us? Naughty 8, have YouTube. So this morning, I want to tell you, it was full of chelated, use a little bit of worship. A little bit of Joy, a little bit of energy, a little bit of three little, little little little bit's enough. Enough so much more. What does God want from us? Go now? Jonathan theme season, are we hoping this? But this is a beautiful scripture. The thief comes only to steal kill and destroy. I can last that they might have life and have it abundantly. What is, what is God wants twenty-five? Last abundantly. That's what he made you to be the man that you start living for God. You start living abundance and then they will be energy than they will be passion. Because I mean if you know that something is wrong. Really close. Any feeling good about something. You can really smile about it. Then they special got bikers. I'm going to cook you speak to the bikers. This morning. If you go to like a bunny, I'm going to use my brother, yet able to boost a brand new push us away because it's like a huge rifle. Yeah. Look at all the work will be free if you feel like I said, it's the guy. How much is a booster creepy t-shirts? That you've got the joy of God in your heart. You can start living abundant about Michelle. We sit in church and that's a factor of always being brought up. Stephanie wants it. So you're mocking me smiling in a switch to Disney variable in India. What is abundant life means? I mean, sorry, I'm not actually going to boy. The word abundant in the New Testament means exceedingly very highly beyond measure more. A quantity, surveyor has to be considerably more than what one would expect to anticipate and show Jesus promise, assisted lifo. Better than what we could ever imagine a concept reminiscent of 1. Corinthians 2. Verse 9 know, you wouldn't mind is going to see the things that God has prepared. For those who love him. What. No mind has conceived to be done for the year of the first on TV.
Did you want to look at you about the area right by me? I mean, sometimes you God want you to live a balanced life. It's not money. Not money. Because I can tell you now, if it was all about the Bandit lie because you believe season, Jesus lived in Abundant Life. I think you did was Jesus rich. Nick, you wasn't his God will bless you with what you need, but he wasn't Rich. Go to the next picture. Mackie 8 verse 26, Jesus replied. Foxes and beans in the blizzard nice, but the son of man has no place to lay his. He didn't even have a place to stay God around all the things of God, abundant doesn't mean it's a misconception. Yes. God will bless you with blessings as you being placed by the buttons, last means that you living a life. For God. It's not about money. So why am I telling you about the Abundant Life? I want you two to realize the passion that you got must be because God gives his promises to promise us to prosper. I meant tomorrow. I will wear the yellow with my brother. Never yet brought across from you tomorrow.
Can I tell you that the moment you was saved you? A tunnel last thought that I've in the blood of Jesus saved you and you already loving it doing a lot. So how can, you know, that fashion and joy and really be excited about the things of God. If you really living in internal life. Can I tell you this morning? That if you got God in your heart this morning and if you saved by the blood you have eternal life already, get excited about it at Fashion.
Not going to start the moment you die. Yes. We going to go. We just going to be promoted to the to spend time with the king of kings, and Lord of lords, and worship him yet with the angels, amazing, but you've already got it.

But let us be awake and sober for those who sleep sleep at night and that was to get drunky drunk or not. But since we belong to the dilators, be sober putting on 5 in love as a brace place in the hope of Salvation as a helmet. Let us not be like others who are asleep. Wake up. Why don't you say that because things happen? If you're not awake, you going to be in trouble?
That the whole thing really sleep at night and drunk at night. But since we belong this guy, why do you belong to the guy die? Because Jesus is Life Time in Jesus's life is not Darkness. So if we belong to Jesus during the day, you better be awake.
I'm in. Romans 13, verse 11, Seas. And do this understanding the prison time. The Allies already come for you to wake up from your Slumber because our Salvation is nearer now, than when we first believed. Just wake up from your slumber.
Insomuch Woods. We need love is so so life. I want to ask you this morning. If you're really tired and it sent that in in in in, in the body, is really tired. And and you haven't slept properly, I need to do, you think you make mistakes the next play stupid silly things because you're not focused on what you doing. All right, it does happen, doesn't it? But she has a Maki Maki, but I guess we'll catch anything. Even remotely in the ice is all over the show. You a single Focus me. So, this time with spiritual, if you're not awake, spiritually, you're going to make mistakes. You're not going to be open to the guidance of God.
We need to understand that we are up against and didn't say that you did the other day against them. The makulu enemy is much worse than the Joker of the evil one. But do you think the Devils? The devil is is lethargic. Do you think he's got no energy. You think Daddy? Daddy. Daddy is Liza to take you off. Both his mind focused this morning and every day of your life is to take you off your boss. If he doesn't sleep and he doesn't slam pain is like a roaring lion running around to get you and you sleeping you going to be cool. I want to tell you wake up, see the things for what they are. The devil is day, two of you. So we need to be awake scanning. 155 is I29 cease. Be a little tune of 7. Manju enemy. The devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for somebody to devour resist him standing firm in the fight because you know that the family of the leaves throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of suffering. So I want to tell you, it's his pee also remind the day of the devil is day, two of you. Can I do understand that, no matter what happens in your life, these flow focus and its sole purpose continuously to take you off the phone to take you from salvation to do a thing. That is not nice. So if he's doing at all times, shouldn't we as Christians as passionate be sober and alert and what does Torchic with the things that God gave us? Shouldn't we? We should because otherwise you going to come shoot then I'm saying this to you because I've got really got a concern that spiritually people are just freezing and just going from a motion to motion. Some people just needs to full full album die because I'm not siding with a lot of this week. But you said you saw the sword, you can immediately spiritually. But you're not moving food and you want to ask God, why is it happening? You need to be awakened? You need to start doing the things that God has given you. The goddess told you to do something, do it and do it with passion. If you don't have passion for the things of God, you're going to come shoot. And you don't want to tell you that you need to look at yourself by chance. If you don't have passion because you'll be inside then you got a problem. Squad is done it all for you this morning.
We need to be alert. Your flesh is continuously rebelling against the things of God. Your mind is constantly thinking of ways. To that will cross your mind. You your carnal mind thinks of things to do that simple. That's what your mind and your body wants to do. Because Paul stays on the scripture, which I do, but we'll save it for the right off of the New Testament, cease be awake because I do not understand my body doesn't want to do, what he wants to do. We born in sin, this this body. We need to be awake and if you don't have passion for the things of God, your body will will lead you. Your mind will lead you.

Philippines to verse 32, HCS do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, Road in humility value, others above yourself, not looking to an interest, but each of you to the interests of other, that's what Jesus did when he was here. We need to imitate that.
Do you think that when Jesus was a nosey was lethargic you think for one moment think I'm innocent. I'm not in this for this why I'm just freezing and hoping things will happen since he was born. He was born with a goal to bring the gospel to people. And all along until he started molesting humidistat for three and a half years yet, passion for what he did. Awesome fashion. Alliant Energy to watch the, the job that God gave him. He went through the same stuff that you and you and me went through. But if sometimes, I think if we look at Christians, You think yourself but this district is a Christian and he's looking like this people. Look at you. If people know that your Christian, they look at you. And they must see that energy the passion for God in your life. Otherwise, you're not doing what you supposed to be doing when Jesus was.
