Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD! Awake as in the ancient days, In the generations of old. Are You not the arm that cut Rahab apart, And wounded the serpent?  Isaiah 51:9

The message destined to the Church and all its members is to awake, for, if they remain in the spiritual sleep, nothing special will happen to them. We are not very different from the religious people because of the way we live. They speak about God, but nothing convinces them that the Lord is in their midst. Thus, they don’t fulfill the mission the Master gave them: to evangelize.

God expects more from us because we were saved and all Biblical prophecies regarding us have been fulfilled. If we continue to “serve” the Lord the way we have, the lost will not convert, and things will get even worse. Until when will we allow the enemy to laugh at us? He has already been defeated by the Savior – the Head of the Church. We have to clothe ourselves with the strength we were given to do the work fully.

Through divine command, Isaiah calls us arm of the Lord. This means we are the ones who accomplish the divine work on Earth. We have the power to bind and to loose, but we don’t do anything. The world advances, the vain philosophies are everywhere, violence is tremendous against the innocent people, people suffer for racial or religious reasons, and we only lament. Why not bind the demons that spread evil?

We must awake just like Israel did in the past; for when they left the Lord they were oppressed by various other nations. However, when they walked through the right path, God lifted up a judge or a prophet, and this person exercised the divine authority and delivered the people. Unfortunately, we have seen our brethren be dominated by several evils and we have done absolutely nothing. Where are the messages that touch people´s hearts and cause them to turn back to the Eternal One and truly convert?

You just have to look at the biblical examples which typify what happen in the spiritual world today, and then you must engage so that the entire congregation comes back to the Lord. Then, clothing ourselves with strength, we will defeat darkness. Thus, the work will be done according to God´s will. We were given power over the enemy, and with the assurance that nothing will harm us. Is there anything else more important for the Church to do? 

The Lord reminds Israel that when they did according to His will, this nation became so powerful, that Rahab confessed that the strengths of her people had been shattered. The great acts of God such as drying the Red Sea and bringing defeat upon the Amorite kings, Sihon and Og must be repeated. He is ready to work the same way; we just need to believe in Him and head to accomplish His perfect work. 

The devil who had dominated the people in Canaan for a long time, was now hurt. Now, the great defeat of Satan took place on the death of Jesus. Therefore, we don’t have to fear the evil one, but we have to face him and defeat him, for he is already defeated.  Awaken, Church! 

In Christ, with love,

Lord, our Strength! We have been sleeping and we are not accomplishing Your great work! Thus, the world experiences destruction. We need to awaken and put on the strength which has already been given to us. May we be the Church of power! 

We are Your arm here on Earth, but You don’t have a weak arm. Therefore, we ask for help to seek and receive the authority that was destined to us. Then, we will show everyone who You are and what You can do for them. The lesson has to begin in our home. 

May we learn with the church of the Old Testament, which, despite being under the Law, they could face and defeat the enemy. We are under the grace, faith and anointing of Your Name. However, instead of winning, we are sleeping. Awake us so that we honor You. Amen!
