His victory comes when he puts Christians to sleep, or half-sleep, stumbling about as if in the dark, unable to speak coherently about our Lord. He tries to drug us into stupor and inaction. This is the testimony of a walk with Christ that our enemy wants us to present to the world: sleepy, stupid, half-dead, incoherent stumblers and bumblers. Ineffective. Bored and unresponsive, lulled by rote, ruts, and routine.<\/p>\n<p>What drugs has Satan enticed you with? Identify them, and reject them. Is it media? Ungodly relationships? Lifestyles that deny your status as a child of God?<\/p>\n<p>Awake, you who sleep! Pray for revival deep within you. Meditate on God\u2019s Word. Take time to hear what He\u2019s saying. God wants to resurrect us to the abundance found in Him, to the joy of living in Him, to kingdom work, to intimacy.
