Why is it important to awake?

1. Full satisfaction is obtainable when you awake to have an encounter with God in righteousness as you behold His face.

The Bible states in Psalm 17:15 that:

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. (KJV)

As for me, I shall see Your face in righteousness; I will be [fully] satisfied when I awake [to find myself] seeing Your likeness.(AMP)

May you have an encounter with God as you behold His face and receive full satisfaction in the name of Jesus.

2. When you awake, Jesus Christ gives you His light.

For this reason He says, “Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine [as dawn] upon you and give you light.” (Ephesians 5:14)

· His light dispels darkness from your life.

· His light gives you the fullness of life.

· His light brings the shining beauty and glory of God upon your life.

May the light of Christ

· dispel darkness from your life.

· give you the fullness of life.

· bring the shining beauty and glory of God upon your life.

In the name of Jesus Christ.

3. Our eternal salvation is closer than when we first believed.

Do this, knowing that this is a critical time. It is already the hour for you to awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency]; for our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed [in Christ]. (Romans 13:11).

4. Your current level of awakening and your level of awakening when you leave this world determines your future and eternal awakening.

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. (Daniel 12:2)

What happens when you awake and put on strength and beauty?

Psalm 7:

6Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;
Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies;
Rise up for me to the judgment You have commanded!
8The Lord shall judge the peoples;
Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness,
And according to my integrity within me.

9Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,
But establish the just;
For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.
10My defense is of God,
Who saves the upright in heart.

A. God will arise in anger against your enemies to stop their evil works in your life, marriage, family, career, academics, finances, business, ministry, and destiny.

B. God will lift up Himself to quench the rage of your enemies, give you victory and cause you to smile, laugh and rejoice.

C. God will judge (arrest, convict and sentence your enemies to incapacitate them from being able to afflict you) your adversaries.

D. The wickedness of the wicked will come to an end in your life, marriage, family, career, academics, finances, business, ministry, and destiny.

E. God will establish you.

F. God will defend you and always be your defense.

G. Your glory will awake and arise (Psalm 57:8).

What does it mean to put on strength?

· Put on strength – to have, retain and be able to use the might and ability to get things done.

· Why the strength of God? This is because the strength of man will fail. (Jeremiah 17:5).

· Your own strength can only take you as far as flesh and human might can take you.

· The arm of flesh - depending on other mortal beings will fail. This is apparent because men who cannot help themselves cannot really help you.

Only God can really help you and He will help you this year in Jesus’ name.

May God the strength of Israel strengthen you out of Zion in the name of Jesus.

Receive strength in every area you need strength in the name of Jesus.
Receive emotional strength in the name of Jesus
Receive the strength of grace in the name of Jesus.
Receive physical strengthening in the name of Jesus.

How and why? The Bible says in Psalm 89:13 that: Thou hast a mighty arm, strong is thy hand and high is your right hand.

No opposition you will face this year can withstand the mighty arm of the Lord.

The strong student hand of God will crush your oppositions, problems, oppressors, and their oppression completely out of your life and situations in Jesus’ name.

The high right hand of the Lord will lift you to a level where the hands of the enemy cannot reach you or bring you down.

Remember you are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:4)

Zion and Jerusalem are used figuratively here to represent that person and people in whom God delights and have set apart for His glory.

God has purposed to beautify your life, hence the instruction to put on your beautiful garments. You will not miss your ordained beauty in Jesus’ name.

No matter your past, God wants to clothe you with garments of beauty. Even if you are currently wearing filthy garments like Joshua the high priest. These will be replaced by garments of beauty.

Arm yourself with beauty, by allowing the character of God to be demonstrated o your life and through you when you exhibit the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-24

In order not to lose your beauty and strength do not allow uncleanness to come into your life and home. Do away with works of the flesh Galatians 5:19-21, Colossians 3:1-17.
