The Great Awakening

7/23/2018

 
🔥The Great Awakening🔥
By Leeland


I originally sent The Great Awakening out on January 12, 2018.

It was a song that expressed what we believed happens as the Good News, the Gospel. goes forth. The truth of the Great Awakening had already begun to work in the fellowship and had been the prayer of our hearts for years.

And what an amazing song. It really expresses what goes on in the heart of anyone who has been Born Again! Just like babies announce their arrival with a lot of noise so do those made Alive by the Spirit of God! And I haven’t sopped talking about Him yet…😂

The following poem was written during the revival known as “The Great Awakening” of the mid 1700s. George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards were powerfully used by God to call the people of America to Himself. Thousands upon thousands were Born Again during this revival or ‘awakening’.

Awake or Awaken
by Lawrence Tribble

One man awake, awakens another.
The second awakens his next-door brother.
The three awake can rouse a town,
By turning the whole place upside down.
The many awake can make such a fuss,
It finally awakens the rest of us.
One man up with dawn in his eyes,
Surely then multiplies.

We’ve managed to live in a ‘spiritual cocoon’ for a few years to prepare for this coming weekend. However, it’s time for the butterfly to emerge, changed from the worm that spun the nest, to a new creature, beautiful and full of flight.

This will bring it’s own challenges. You’ll be accepted in ways that you’ve never been before and you will be rejected in ways that you have never experienced before. That’s ok, both are needed to grow and fly—just like a bird needs two wings to fly.

My best advice is something the Lord said to me decades ago and still holds true for me today, “Don’t look at those who pat you on the back and don’t look at those who stab you in the back, look at Me!”

Revelation 4:8
8. ... “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come.”

Keep the ‘eyes of your heart’ singly set on Jesus and don’t get turned aside by the compliments or the grumps.

Oh yes, Good Morning! And Pass Him on.

🎶 🔥 🎶 🔥 🎶 🔥 🎶

One man wakes, awakens another
Second one wakes his next door brother
Three awake can rouse a town
And turn the whole place upside down

Many awake will cause such a fuss
It finally awakes all of us
One man wakes with dawn in his eyes
Surely then it multiplies
Surely then it multiplies...

🎶 🔥 🎶 🔥 🎶 🔥 🎶

I Raise a Hallelujah
Heaven comes to fight for me!

“And even when I am old and gray...I will declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.”   Psalm 71:18

PS: During the Jesus People Revival a song was written by Kurt Kaiser that expresses the same Truth. Over time it became a ‘campfire’ song that everyone sings and lost it’s Christian message however it was written about spreading the Love of Jesus. I expect quite a few folks remember this one.
