The Awakened Church Will Rise Again - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

The Awakened Church Will Rise Again
Now Think On This
by Steve Martin


“So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, "Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?" He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority;  but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."
(Acts 1:6-8, NASU)


The long, powerless slumber is coming to a quick end. The time of living for ourselves and our own pleasures is over. Either we will get in or get out. The Lord God Almighty is saying enough is enough. It is time for His people to awaken and get on with His plan, not ours. Ours hasn’t worked. His will.

The church of Jesus Christ will rise again.

For decades the people of God have spent hours upon hours siting in Sunday’s church pew, believing that being part of the club would change the world. Many indeed wanted to be part of something to raise our families in, hoping the good Lord was pleased with our weekly commitment. But for so many it was back to the regular routine the rest of the days, living in the world as if we were part of them too.

That was not the way it was meant to be.

The Lion of the Tribe of Judah is telling the nations, in clear and prominent, historical ways, for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, that the time of playing church is over. No longer will it be Sunday as usual. What He has planned to be, it will be. No more que sera sera Doris Day. This is His day!

I sense the Holy Spirit releasing in power His glorious power. With certainty and intense purpose, He is sending another Pentecost (Shavuot Feast in Hebrew) to fall on those called from the beginning of time, to take His Gospel of the Good News to the peoples in all nations. When thus filled with His holy fire and unstoppable spirit, we will see the darkness dispelled through the awesome miracles, signs and wonders of healing and undeniable power displayed before the very gates of hell. It has started.

Satan will not stop Him. Government officials will not box Him in. The supreme court and supreme leaders will no longer get away by ruling His laws obsolete and old school. The power of the Holy Spirit will overtake the lies that have wrongly been proclaimed. He will have the last word.

Jesus is the Real Thing. Yeshua is the Alpha and Omega. No one and nothing will stop Him from redeeming His Church to be the Bride He has redeemed with His very own Blood. His sacrifice on the Tree was worth every drop of precious Blood that literally fell - from His cruelly crowned head, His badly beaten scourged back, the tremendous, excruciating pain of His pierced hands and His ruthlessly nailed human feet to the God forsaken cross.

The awakened Church, redeemed for this very anointed and appointed hour, will rise again to fulfill all the prophetic words that were spoken of Her, His chosen vessel, throughout the centuries.

Trust His Word that is found only in the Bible. Believe it when He says He will do it. Act upon it when His Holy Spirit grabs you once again and says, “Now it the time to get up and do that which I created you to do.”

He is coming. He has stood up from His heavenly throne. He will get you ready.

Now think on this,
