AWAKEN

Is it possible individuals do not think they can make any difference for many people? Do you think it likely the average Christian desires to simply live an average life? What old singer named Peggy something sang, Is This All There Is?

When we awaken to the fact we live in the kingdom of God, under the name of the Son, empowered by the Spirit, why in the world would we ever believe any day to be....average? Why?

People can be average without God. Believers dream and imagine and wonder. We are not just believers; we are certainty-ers. We know what we believe is true. Therefore, we must awaken to the dynamic within us known as the Dynamic....within us.

Old man Abraham wasn't written for a flannel-graph conference. It exhibits the living God in weak man. Moses isn't about failure. He is about waiting on the living God to shock the sandals off of the opponent when He gets good and ready. Elijah wasn't for a VBS theme. His story is to inspire one man against great odds. The Virgin Mary isn't about un-sex. She's about transferring "You've got to be kidding" being "Nope, we are telling you the amazing truth".

Awaken. You and I are called to live the most abnormal life which is to be labeled the new normal. Jesus introduces a whole new world order called the New Creation. We've lost our might because we've joined the distracting forces of the Bible-banging naysayers. Where's our spiritual grit? Where's our "get'n it done"?

Awaken. We have a God who has yet to flex all of His muscle. His breath-taking creation isn't visible for the purpose of snapshots to send to Aunt Bess. It is to motivate us to live on Ordinary Street while empowered from Above All with absolute resolve we are here to impact everything in our way.

It's time we roll, my friend. The average stuff is for those who have no Living God. Awaken....today is full of possibility for you and me to stun the world with the gigantic and penetrating love of Christ.

Awaken.
