AWAKE AND REVIVE IN 2025
Text:
Romans 13:11 (KJV) And that, knowing the
time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation
nearer than when we believed.
Introduction:
Sometimes we can get stagnate, comfortable and complacent with the same old way
of doing things. It is time to wake up
to God’s new and living way! Hebrews 10:19-25 (KJV) Having therefore, brethren,
boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living
way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his
flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a
true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil
conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the
profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not
forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but
exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
1.)
Awake
to righteousness!

Corinthians 15:34 (KJV) Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not
the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
2.)
Awake
thou that sleepest!
Ephesians
5:14 (KJV) Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the
dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

Remember
our text! It’s High Time to Awake!
Romans
13:11 (KJV) And that, knowing the time,
that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer
than when we believed.
In
conclusion: Remember what the scriptures says: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-10
(KJV) But of the times and the seasons,
brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly
that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall
say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail
upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not
in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the
children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of
darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be
sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are
drunken in the night. 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. For God
hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus
Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live
together with him. Nehemiah. 4:2 And he spake before his brethren and the army
of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves?
will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the
stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned? Psalms 85:6 Wilt thou
not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? Psalms 138:7 Though I
walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth
thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity,
whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is
of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to
revive the heart of the contrite ones. Hosea 6:2 After two days will he revive
us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Hosea
14:7 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the
corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. Habakkuk
3:2 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in
the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember
mercy.
