The Wake-Up Call


11 Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.
12 The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.
13 Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy.
14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. - Romans 13:11-14

Let us not sleep but be ready to do battle!!!
Satan is about his business, wake up!
The hour of battle has come, preach the gospel!

Your days grow short!

yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. - James 4:14

Your opportunities are fleeting.

We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. - John 9:4

It's time to wake up.
But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. - 1 Thessalonians 5:4

Be alert, the world is going to hell around you.

It's time to clean up.
Your sin is evident, fall before the Lord and beg His forgiveness.
You go to clubs, you gamble in the casinos, you live together unmarried, you men chase women, you women cheat on your spouses, and you think these things are OK but they are sin in its purest form.

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. - Hebrews 13:4

18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.
19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. - 1 Corinthians 6:18-20

Order your life according to God's commands!!
Where has our shame gone?
We are arrogant before the Lord!!

Were they ashamed when they committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed; they did not know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time that I punish them, they shall be overthrown," says the LORD.  - Jeremiah 6:15

For the look on their faces bears witness against them; they proclaim their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! For they have brought evil on themselves.  - Isaiah 3:9

We are wrapped up in strife and envy!
We are not satisfied, wanting all the things the world has to offer and turning our backs on God.

Let us testify to the forgiving grace that Christ offers!!

It's time to dress up in the Lord Jesus Christ!
As Master for direction, as Savior for deliverance, as Messiah for dominion, wearing Jesus as your armor! 

Turn from your sin, do not make a provision to go back to sin!!
Flee!!

Thank you pastor Adrian Rogers!!!
