Wake Up O Sleeper!

The Father has been speaking to me that He will again be sending me out - and that it is for an "awakening of the slumbering people." Then He continued to speak to me through His Spirit and His word for five hours this past Sunday about the "spirit of slumber" that has enveloped the people. It is a tactic of the enemy in this hour to keep people in darkness. He spoke to me about Isaiah 60:1: "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of YHVH rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples...

What is this thick darkness over the people? It is a spirit of slumber. We sleep in front of the TV. We sleep staring at computers. We sleep on cell phones. We are the "walking dead" with cell phones and Facebook as our masters and computers seducing and addicting us.

"Wake up O sleeper, Rise from the dead and Messiah will shine on you! Be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise, but as wise, making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil." (Ephesians 5:13-16)

Proverbs 10:5: "He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son."

Are we sleeping through the harvest? Are we so dulled by entertainment of the world that we cannot hear His Voice? Do we have no interest in the harvest all around us? In Matthew 25 ALL the virgins fell asleep; not just some, but ALL of them. And when they awoke, five did not have enough oil in their lamps, but the wise virgins told them, "Go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves."

WHO IS SELLING THE OIL? I pondered the question for a very long time. Yes, yes I know that the oil is my relationship with Yeshua, something so precious and personal that I cannot give or sell it to anyone else! But if there is a window of time when the foolish virgins are finally awake and looking for oil, will I be ready to challenge and exhort them to find it? Will I be able to model it, and provoke them to jealousy to have it? Will I have such a deposit of the Word of God within me that I can offer them the True Gospel, and reveal to them the joy of living by His Torah through the power of the Holy Spirit?

Song of Solomon 5:2: "I slept but my heart was awake. Listen! My Lover is knocking: 'Open to Me, my sister, my darling!'" Do you sleep with your heart awake? Is your spiritual antenna on, ready to receive dreams and visions in the night? Do you awaken to write them in a journal and ponder the meaning? Are you able to hear Yeshua knocking on your door or is there too much noise in your life?

Job 33:14: "For YHVH does speak - now one way, now another - though man may not perceive it. In a dream, in the vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they slumber in their beds, He may speak in their ears..."

YHVH is now awakening His people - His Remnant - to know Him and to participate in the great Restoration of all things. We are living in this awesome time of Restoration, foretold by the prophets; but will we be a part of it - or will we slumber through it? Will we awaken with oil in our lamps, or will we run off to try and buy some at the last minute? And who will be selling the oil?
