Stay Awake

Colossians 3:5-6
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.

The war for a prophet's soul is for our eyes and ears. Continue to toss everything aside and give yourself to God. We need renewed vision.

We will be delivered somehow.

Delivered from the fire.
Builds faith

Delivered through the fire.
Refines faith.

Delivered by the fire.
Perfected faith.

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up."

So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, and the satraps, prefects, governors and royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them.

Full deliverance means no longer smelling like smoke.

Make us like this oh God! EVEN IF MY GOD DOES NOT DELIVER ME, I WILL NOT BEND THE KNEE!!!

We have been chosen by the God of all creation for a life worth living. Empty yourself out and be filled with God.

Staying awake in the house of prayer means to keep your focus on Jesus. Don't be distracted. We are in the last hour. Jesus is the light - no other source - the only means for seeing evidence of God. God's illumination cannot be measured. We must be beaten and hammered to be his light (Ex 25:31) The process is more than tedious and painful but the result = our heavenly form. Contimually bear the purifying fires of God to make yourself more pliable for shaping.

Let the Spirit of the LORD rest on you— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD -
delight in the discovery of God's truth!
