Wake up Sleeper!

Holy Spirit come fill us  

Touch us, change us,

Rearrange us

Heal us, free us

Lord, we seek Your face

Wash us, cleanse us, please forgive us,

Mold us, make us,

Come and shake us

Lord, let Your glory fill this place.

 

These words from the song, Let your Glory Fill this Place moved me this Sunday! The words filled every part of my being and I had no choice but to respond by shouting and clapping.  I stood up before I even knew what was happening.  It was the only thing that I could do in response to these words,

"Come Holy Spirit"

I encourage you to pray the words of this song and ask the Holy Spirit to fill you, change you, rearrange you!

 

As I was listening to the choir sing this song the words from Ephesians "wake up Sleeper" filled my heart. It was as if God took my face in his hands and said, "Jann time to get up".

“Wake up, sleeper,

rise from the dead,

and Christ will shine on you.”

I don't want to be sleeping my life away!  The kind of existence where every day you do the same things, routine after routine, no joy, just existing. I want more! More of everything that the God of the universe has for me! I want the Holy Spirit to do only what He can do in and through me.  I want Him to fill me with His glory!

The rest of the verse explains what living fully awake looks like. 

 

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 5:14-20

Father You promise to fill us with the Holy Spirit and that He will be our Helper, Comforter, and Guide.  Empower me to be fully awake, aware of your presence and your grace. I want to live this Ephesians verse! 

Thank you for giving us everything. I love you.  Jann
