AWAKENING

Being awake in the spiritual realm is very different from being awake in the physical realm. In the physical realm, you are awake when you are conscious, whether or not you are lying down or moving around. In the spiritual realm, you are awake when you are active and in constant, concerted motion. It is impossible to stand still when you are awake spiritually, because being awake is being in motion; it is having one's arms perpetually open to embrace change and growth. If you are not awake spiritually, it is impossible for you to experience a spiritual revival. That would be the equivalent of sleep-walking. If you are not certain that you or your congregation are awake spiritually, ask God to send you a spiritual awakening.
