Ps Karen Wheaton, James Aladiran, and Joe Reeser sit down to unpack the topic of being spiritually awake. Awakening can easily be an abstract idea or concept, but when simplified, it means this: to be alive and alert to the kingdom of God and God’s will in the earth. James shares how becoming awakened is not always a comfortable process. Think about waking each morning. We’re comfortable in the dark, maybe enjoying the peace and quiet (or our fav white noise app!), and then, the alarm goes off. We flick the lights on, squinting and rubbing our eyes. We’re uncomfortable for those few moments. But only when fully awake, can we engage in and enjoy the day ahead. ‘Being awake changes everything about you.' – James Aladiran Ps Karen brings encouragement with some truths about the love of God. It’s important to understand that we’re not awake to earn God’s love. He’s already paid that price for our salvation, and he loves us unconditionally. But in return, we’re called to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (see Luke 10:27). Being awake is one of the ways to love God with our lives, allowing him to consume all that we are, and allowing his awakening to change and transform us. - - - Find out more about Ramp Church Manchester by visiting https://ramp.church/mcrIf you would like to partner in giving, please visit: https://ramp.church/mcr/giving
