As I dreamed last night, I heard an alarm clock go off. And I told the Holy Spirit I am awake but “ Father why I am here?”
Who do I paint for?
Who do I write for?
He answered, “For the 1 in 99.”
I asked, “Tell me about the one.”
And in my thoughts, I saw the one who was brave enough to look up as the rest were content to graze. I saw the one who wandered off looking for adventure. I saw the one who wanted more.
I asked, “But I thought the 1 in 99 was about a lost sheep.”
He showed me that Jesus didn’t come for just the found, but to save the lost and help those convicted to helping Him help others find His gift of salvation and bring them into God’s kingdom. He came for those who have woken up.
These are those people who really get ”it.” For Him… they live to make a difference.
And then I read this… about the 98?
TIME TO WAKE UP - Romans 13:11
"And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed."
God is saying, "Wake up." There is such a great need for the slumbering saint to wake up.
“A man came into church and he thought he would impress his pastor, so he said, "Pastor, give me a good prayer to pray unto entering the sanctuary." The pastor knew him and knew his habits, so the pastor suggested, "Why don’t you pray, ‘Now I lay me down to sleep.’”
