We are walking in today:  Awake, Arise and Alert.

Genesis 6:3  And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.  These are timely words by which God is calling His people.  Especially the church--to shake off a slumbering spirit and get up and awaken from the peace and comfort, ease or entitlement any may have found themselves in.  Arise in your spirit.  Alert to the seriousness of the hour in which we are living.  Sound the alarm, the message that people from all nations, need Jesus Christ, living in their hearts--apart from Him, people do not find eternal salvation.  God is our creator and He who makes us His creation, has rights to His creation.  Yet in His love, He created us with free will giving us the right to make the choice.  As to whether we will allow Him to be Lord, the One with the authority in our lives or not.  He designed us to live under the shelter and provision of His authority, in His will and way, as we bring our personal wills into alignment with His sovereign will.  We receive the eternal benefit of His provision. For those who choose not to agree with the One who created them, forfeit the kingdom benefits of eternal provision and protection.  Awake, arise, alert, and alarm--we serve a merciful and gracious God who suffers long in waiting upon His creation, man to make the proper decisions and surrender His life to Him.  But in His written word, He has stated that He will no strive forever with man.  God's word tells us, His people that they are to walk in the spirit and not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.  Galatians 5:16 (NLT) So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.  The old sinful nature loves to do evil which is just the opposite from what the Holy Spirit wants and the spirit gives us desires opposite for what the Holy Spirit wants.  We must walk under the shelter and provision of His kingdom.  We are to take such a warning seriously and heed them in our daily lives!  Awake to righteousness. Arise, step away from works of the flesh.  Be alert to the word of God!  The alarm that is being sounded is calling men and women, across the world out of bondage and to crossover out of darkness of sin into the marvelous light of God's grace and truth! 
Oh God, I thank You for the wake up call!  To be alert--on the look out!  He is coming back for a church.  Watch in all that you do!  Thank You for letting us know to be alert and to get out houses in order!  That we are to pray without ceasing!  To seek God first in all things and His righteousness and all things will be added unto you.  Are you seeking Him early?  Are you seeking a relationship with the Father?  They that seek Him shall find Him.  Awake, arise and alert.  The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy.  He is coming with deception.  God will not always strive with man!  This is our season to hear His voice.  His sheep know His voice and another they will not follow.  2012 is a year of power and authority--awake, arise and alert!  God is coming back again.  Is your house in order?  Time for a self-check are you walking in unforgiveness and pride?  We must repent for our sins of omission and commission.  It is time, the warning is going out, these are the last days.  Jesus is coming back for the church!  While you were sleeping the enemy came in.  At midnight there was a cry.  We have to seek God, you can put yourself on a fast to seek Him!  On a fast to hear Him.  On a fast to crucify your flesh.  You got to know that you are in a relationship with God.  Stand on His word, it doesn't come back void!  Be alert, not fearful!  He will bring it to pass.  We are coming out!  We choose to rejoice this day!  We will stay on post.  We are seeking Your face.  We choose to repent.  Thank You for Your compassion.  We seek Your face.  We are not tired we are waiting--not weary.  We came to worship You on Wednesday, now today awake, arise and alert.  God got up on the third day.  Let this word be in you--let it come alive in your life!  Let this word be your guide.  Taste and see that the Lord is good!  He is coming back for a church without spot or wrinkle.  We are to work out our own soul salvation.  Philippians 2:12 (AMP) Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always obeyed [my suggestions], so now, not only [with the enthusiasm you would show] in my presence but much more because I am absent, work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ).   We don't want to be counted with those that are spoken of in 2 Timothy the third chapter, we must be on constant guard that we are washing ourselves in the water of the word, that we repent and always look for our actions to be pleasing to God.  As God's own we should resemble Him in every way not just having His image but His likeness also!  That what we reflect is Him!  Not secretly doing the things of the world behind a mask of righteousness.  God is not pleased and He sees through every lie--even the ones we tell ourselves.  Every mask or cover up we try is worthless.  We are only fooling ourselves and even that in a poor fashion!  We know better and must strive to do better!  Romans 6:1-6 1) What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2) God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3) Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4) Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5) For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6) Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.  Don't get caught up in your sins!  The enemy is trying to keep you in a sinful state.  Work out your own soul salvation.  If you just keep sinning and won't repent and really turn from that thing, you can be turned over to a reprobate mind.  Once saved always saved--NOT SO!  You can not keep on sinning and not repent--you will  loose your salvation!  2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.  Turn away from it and stop doing it!  Proverbs 26:11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.  We are to turn from this and sin no more!  Yes we will mess up, God has a word for that too.  Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.  Repent for all of your sins!  We need the righteousness of God.  He is sending out a warning--stop thinking those thoughts and even those little white lies--repent!  Fall on your face and repent!  Ask God to get you together!  He is the only one who can wash you whiter than snow!  You don't want to miss God.  The enemy can't pluck us out of His hand but if you continue in sinning and keep sinning and not repent God will get tired of you not really making that change.  Work out your own soul salvation--once saved, always saved NOT SO!  That is a lie from the devil!  Stop straddling the fence!  Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.  Stop playing church, the enemy has us caught up--many in the church are speaking that lie.  That all the sins were nailed to the cross.  True, we are not to continue in them!  If that is the case, what makes you different from the world?!  So then can they come in too?!  They say God forgive me also.  We are born in sin, wrapped in iniquity.  When you get it wrong, turn from it--don't go back!  Wake up!  The enemy is trying to trap you!  The enemy is seeking who he may devour.  The devil wants to sift you like wheat.  The adversary, wants you to walk in that lie--so that you will fail, as he has.  Jesus paid it all, but not for us to continue in that sin!  He was whipped, beaten and nailed to the cross--He died and on the third day  rose again--all for you to live any way you want?!  We know that is not right!  We have to turn from our wicked ways, to strive to do better!  Hebrews 6:5-7 (AMP) 5) And have felt how good the Word of God is and the mighty powers of the age and world to come, 6) If they then deviate from the faith and turn away from their allegiance—[it is impossible] to bring them back to repentance, for (because, while, as long as) they nail upon the cross the Son of God afresh [as far as they are concerned] and are holding [Him] up to contempt and shame and public disgrace. 7) For the soil which has drunk the rain that repeatedly falls upon it and produces vegetation useful to those for whose benefit it is cultivated partakes of a blessing from God.  We must cast off our old ways of the world.  We can do all things through Christ which strengthens us!  He will give us a way out of that temptation!  Watch the tricks of the enemy to get you to fall--anger, bitterness, unforgiveness--stemming from offense.  Matthew 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.  Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.  All of that finger pointing to get up separated.  There is much power available to us when we stand together on one accord!  Genesis 11:6  And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.  So what would happen if we cast down every lie of the devil and stood on the word of God, not flinching or wavering?!   See why this would even more decrease his abilities in the Earth?  Why the enemy does not want us full of the word of God, in right-standing with Him, touching and agreeing on a thing that would shut him out?!  Let go of the lie, once saved, always saved!  You must repent!  Ask God to help you, you can't do this by yourself!  The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.  Ask God to help you.  I wanna turn from this thing!  I need Your help, Lord!  We keep falling in this--help us!  We turn this over to You.  We only want to live, how you want us to live!  We have got to have on the whole armor of God, the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation--how else can you keep your mind?!  The sword of the spirit to tell the enemy to get behind me.  Your feet shod with peace, that you are not stirred by offences nor cause any.  The belt of truth that you are looking to please the Father at all times!  Holding on to your shield of faith, walking in love with your brothers and sisters!  The enemy came to tempt Jesus, you don't think that he will come to temp you too?!  We are made more than conquers, more than overcomers!  Because Jesus has already overcome the world, and we are in Him!  Once saved, always saved--NOT SO!  Get in the word, let it take root in your heart!  Then the spirit will rise up and quicken you, don't say that.  Don't think that.  Don't do that.  Repent right then!  The Holy Spirit will lead and guide us to all righteousness.  He left us with the Comforter.  Don't do it again, then repent or even worse to repent  before you do that thing.  You don't have much time left, these are the last days.  Turn while there is still time left.  We see the warning--awake arise and alarm!  The Holy Spirit will quicken us when we are out of position or about to fall.  We are crying out to You Lord!  I repent, help me to walk according to Your righteousness.  He forgives us with no condemnation!  He will change us, where we are going, sin can not enter!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:   We cast down that lie, once saved, always saved--NOT SO!

Welcome to the overflow...
 We can't just come to God in any old way!  The first and only, that we could continue in sin?  NOT SO!  That was a strong word, you gotta chew on it.  Thank You God!  Thank You for Your grace and mercy.  Turn from your wicked ways!  Hallelujah God!  Always get the scripture to back it up!  Isaiah 64:5-6 (AMP) 5) You meet and spare him who joyfully works righteousness (uprightness and justice), [earnestly] remembering You in Your ways. Behold, You were angry, for we sinned; we have long continued in our sins [prolonging Your anger]. And shall we be saved? 6) For we have all become like one who is unclean [ceremonially, like a leper], and all our righteousness (our best deeds of rightness and justice) is like filthy rags or a polluted garment; we all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away [far from God’s favor, hurrying us toward destruction].  Fiveamprayer, we gotta work out our own salvation.  We can't just do anything!  Once saved, always saved--NOT SO!  Stop walking in unforgiveness!  Reproof is for our correction, you have gotta know the word for yourself!  Go get in the word of God.  Work our your own salvation.  When you didn't know, you weren't accountable.  Now you know and are held accountable!  The truth shall make you free!  Once saved, always saved--NOT SO!  The way is straight and gate is narrow--few find it.  Are you looking for Jesus??  Get it right!  He is a God of decency and order.  Thank You God!  Go to your pastors--once saved, always saved--NOT SO!  You can loose your soul salvation!  Jesus is coming and you want to be caught up in the air to meet Him!  Awake, arise and alert!  No more sleeping on God.  No it won't be easy, the race is not given to the swift but to he that endures until the end.  When you know, you got to get it together!  Stop telling lies, a liar can not tarry in His sight!  Psalm 101:7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.  So you have your kids tell the person on the phone that you are not home?  Get it right and do it now!  Start preparing yourself.  If you were gonna act like this, you should have just stayed in the world!  Stop playing church, all dressed up and wrapped up in sin--looking all good with your judgemental self!  God says, judge not!  Thank You God!  We have to each stand before Him ourselves.  You don't want Him to say to you, I know you not, workers of iniquity.  Hallelujah God!  God will let us know the truth.  He loves us so much!  He does not want us to die in sin!  Listen to the Holy Spirit to keep you from messing up.  I am gonna tell her off and then repent later--what is that?  Where is that in the Bible?!  We are to love one another--1 Peter 4:8 (AMP) Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and disregards the offenses of others].  We are to love each other!  God tells us that He will not always strive with man.  It is about to get much harder--you ain't seen nothing yet!  Get into the book of Revelation, that is the time we are living in!  Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you.  Take time out the read the scriptures today.  Have a supernatural blessed weekend!  Amen!
