The Sleeping Giant
Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.
Ephesians 5:14
Some people are concerned about the current darkness America finds itself in—and
I am concerned too. I also know that times of trial and struggle historically
bring great seasons of revival, as men and women go to their knees and cry out
to God for divine wisdom and help.
Scripture says, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves
and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear
from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles
7:14).
I’ve often referred to the Church of America as a sleeping giant. It’s time for
the Church to arise! Isaiah 60:1-2 says, “Arise, shine, for your light has
come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth
and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his
glory appears over you.”
We have been called to be light to this world. “Nations will come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawn” (Isaiah 60:3). Hang on! I believe we
are on the verge of one of the greatest revivals the world has ever known!
