Give Us An Awakening - Bishop T.D. Jakes

Deliverance is easy once you wake up, but our eyes open in stages. When life’s disappointments stagger us into an apathetic stupor, we've got to be deliberate in waking back up. Until we do, nothing is going to change. You see, there are spirits assigned to hold us down in our personal prisons, like the 16 guards who tried to lock Peter in place, but they are no match for the angel that's coming to walk us out through that iron gate. Two chains, 16 soldiers: They are no match for the power of God. Do not let the enemy find you where you fell asleep. The angel is coming for your awakening! The question is: Will you answer the call in the dead of your night?

I received that brother JAKES ... you healed my life and I followed u out of darkness I was SHOT in my BACK twelve times left with PTSD as well as the wounds, thirty days in a COMA and the reason I am the man I am today is because I have followed you out of the darkness you have been my doctor and my therapist each sermon has been a step by step for me to my purpose ... thank you brother

[jamekasmith]

I'm 42 and God has always guided me in stages. Bishop the way God uses you is amazing. Thank you God in Jesus name. Amen.

This is such a powerful sermon it should be required in all churches. You cannot listen only once...you must listen as if you’re preparing to take the bar exam. The awakening speaks to the parts of us we are discovering as life continues we continue to discover who we are and the pieces to our puzzles begin to make sense. My God if I have to listen everyday until I ensure each morsel of this word is consumed and my spirit is satisfied I will continue to chew while this word manifest in my bones!

"Where the enemy is looking for you, you will not be. The enemy is expecting you to be where he left you, where he changed you, where you talked, where you lived, where you slept, where you accepted, he expected you to be there but you will not be there...//... Do not let the enemy find you where you fell asleep. The whole purpose of sending the angel was to give you an awakening so that when they start looking for you where they left you, you would not be there anymore. God is going to move you from that spot and they will not find you, though they search for you" .../...
>> "You’re gonna come into a realization that the Lord was with you all the while."

While Peter was in a toxic environment of discomfort, he slept. The Angel waked into my dark place, an Angel will show up. Wake me up Jesus! Nothing will change until you wake up! Peter woke up in stages, the Angel woke him up, the chains fell off. Loud enough that you can hear, but not the others. You always wake up in stages, you fall asleep in stages. He followed the ANGELS out unsure what was happening, kind of like sleep walking!
