Arise!

Wake up sleeping church, wake up body of Christ, wake up you who claim to be followers of Me! Have you not heard the words I have spoken, have you not listened with your heart and comprehended that which I have already laid before you? The message I give is not new, only hidden by your sin, by your unwillingness to repent and turn from that which is keeping you from Me. I have loved you with an everlasting love and I will not relent, I will not give up on you. Return to Me, be refreshed by the waters of My spirit. Let go of the things that have held you in the spirit of prayer, the things that have shackled you and kept you from crying out to Me. I am not shocked by your confessions, cry out to Me, release those things that have hindered the move of God in your life. I desire to draw close, it is you that is hiding yourself from Me, I am not hidden. I long to reveal Myself, open up your ears, open up your eyes that you might see that I am He that is jealous for you.

Ephesians 5: 1-14

"Walk in Love 1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; 4 neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this you know,[a] that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not be partakers with them.
Walk in Light 8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the Spirit[b]is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says: “ Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”
