A Strategic Hour in History
Friend, it’s time for an awakening.
It’s time for the Church to rise and become the men and women of God we were created to be.
Romans 13:11 (TPT) says:
“To live like this is all the more urgent, for time is running out and you know it is a strategic hour in human history. It is time for us to wake up, for our full salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.”
This truly is a strategic hour. If we are going to be the Church that Jesus intended—full of His Spirit and power—we must wake up from spiritual slumber. We can’t let culture define or confine us. The Spirit of God is calling us to rise, to be filled again, and to live boldly for His Kingdom.
How Do We Wake Up?
We wake up by seeking first the Kingdom of God—above every other pursuit, above every other love. We wake up by making prayer and worship our highest priorities. We wake up by inviting the Holy Spirit not just to live in us but to move through us—bringing Heaven to Earth as Jesus taught.
Time is short. Whether we consider the soon return of Christ or simply the urgency of this moment, we must recognize that we don’t have forever to waste. A clear line is being drawn between light and darkness, and the Lord is calling His people to rise on the side of truth while there’s still time.
A New Day of Destiny
Romans 13:12 (TPT) declares:
“Night’s darkness is dissolving away as a new day of destiny dawns. So we must once and for all strip away what is done in the shadows of darkness… and once and for all clothe ourselves with the radiance of light as our weapon.”
Now is the time to repent—to cast off sin and compromise like filthy clothes and to put on the light of Christ as our covering. The light of God always drives away darkness. When we walk in His radiance, His presence becomes our greatest weapon.
Living in the Light
Paul continues in verses 13–14:
“We must live honorably, surrounded by the light of this new day… Instead, fully immerse yourselves into the Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, and don’t waste even a moment’s thought on your former identity to awaken its selfish desires.”
We will either wake up to the light or to the darkness—there is no middle ground.
The choice is ours. Will we let the Holy Spirit fill our lives and lead us into purpose? Or will we let the past and sin hold us down?
Friend, it’s time to wake up. It’s time for the men and women of God to seek His face again—fervently, passionately, and persistently.
The Call to Awaken
It’s not always easy to wake up spiritually. Sometimes we feel weary, distracted, or numb. But the Holy Spirit stands ready to strengthen and guide us as we rise into our destiny.
Purpose is waiting for every believer who will seek the Lord wholeheartedly.
Your prayers matter.
Your pursuit matters.
Spend time in the presence of God until His presence begins to change you—because that’s where awakening begins.
A Personal Challenge
I’m on a personal quest to experience more of God’s presence and power than ever before. I want to be fully immersed—completely surrendered—to the Lord Jesus Christ.
What would happen if you did the same?
If you gave yourself wholly to prayer, the Word, obedience, and the presence of God—everything would change.
You would wake up.
Your influence would grow.
And the Spirit of God would shine through your life for His glory.
