Spiritual Slumber

Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. (1 Thessalonians 5:6) 
 
Darkness covers our nation in pockets that fight to expand and occupy.
 
Spiritual slumber causes us not to feel any personal responsibility to intercede and to pray.
 
We have to bring the light of Jesus Christ.
 
Spiritual slumber can be subtle – It can cause us to miss the gravity of what’s happening on the earth or allow us to feel content with the notion that someone else is praying so we don’t need to….
 
Despair, racism and illness will bow down to the King of all Kings… because of our prayers.
 
Don’t believe your thoughts of being powerless. It is all “hands on deck” for prayer!!! 
 
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. (1 Thessalonians 5:8) 
 
What a powerful devotion. Let us not fall into spiritual slumber. We must remind ourselves, we are NOT powerless and that prayer changes things. Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work. All “hands on deck”. Matthew 18:20, For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
 
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
