"..., knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep;...." Romans 13:11
"Besides this you know what [a critical] hour this is, how it is high time now for you to wake up out of your sleep (rouse to reality).
For salvation (final deliverance) is nearer to us now than when we first believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Christ, the Messiah). The night is far gone and the day is almost here.
Let us then drop (fling away) the works and deeds of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light. Let us live and conduct ourselves honorably and becomingly as in the [open light of] day, not in reveling (carousing) and drunkenness, not in immorality and debauchery (sensuality and licentiousness), not in quarreling and jealousy.
But clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and make no provision for [indulging] the flesh [put a stop to thinking about the evil cravings of your physical nature] to [gratify its] desires (lusts)." Romans 13:11-14
These are PERFECT closing verses for this 31 days series! They actually summarize what I was trying to convey these 31 days.
Awaken, rise up, and stand for truth!
Thank you all for reading.
God is SO big and able. I continue to pray that He has and WILL use something that has been shared to bring about change. Only He can. And we ALL NEED change.
It has been a blessing to me. I hope that it has been to others as well.
Thank you for being a part of the process.
"Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time now and forever. Amen." Jude 1:24,25
AWAKEN and STAND.
