Awake , Awake o sleeper and let Christ shine in you!
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. (1 Cor15:34)
And I—in righteousness I will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.
(Ps17:15)
Paul prays that the eyes of our understanding be enlightened with the knowledge of Jesus Christ. When we get to know who we really are, what joy, liberty and freedom it brings to our hearts. Anything short of satisfaction is an indication that I did not awake from my "sleep" yet.
To be asleep is to be unaware of anything around you, but being asleep does not alter or change the reality of your surroundings. Your eyes are the gateway. Jesus says. "... the eye is the lamp of the body and enlightens up the whole body" Jesus revealed to us the truth of our lives. "For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light". Psalm 36:9 In His light do we see the light of our own life. Jesus is the revelation of our true identity. He did not come so we can admire Him, He came to reveal who we really are.
He is not ashamed to call us bretheren, because we have the same origin. Heb2:11 The root word for brethren used in this verse, implies those who come from the same womb. He is our origin. He is your life. Peter discovered who Jesus is in the book of Matthew chapter 16 and discovered at that very same moment, His true identity. Blessed are you Simon-Barjona, for you are Cephas(petros=Rock). Deut32 says, "Ascribe greatness to the God our Rock, His work is perfect". "We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus..." Jesus is the blueprint of our life. "Do not forget or be unmindful of the Rock that begot you". Deut32:3,4,18 & Eph2:10
You were made for this truth. Only the sound of your true identity will satisfy you. Any other voice will leave you frustrated.
Awake to your true identity and celebrate Jesus in you. You are indeed complete in Him. (Col2:10)
Make the distinct sound of the bugle. "Blow the trumpet in Zion". 1Cor14:8
My desire with this site is to awaken in you the reality of your true identity, to raise up my voice with strength, to blow the distinct sound of God's opinion of you in your hearts that will propel you into a place of intimate dwelling with your Maker.
His bosom is your destiny!
You are His love dream fulfilled!
You are the object of God's desire!
We are exclusively His!
Why wait, He's yours to enjoy now!

Hi Tanswell.
Your goal for the site: "to awaken in you the reality of your true identity in Christ Jesus", was certainly advanced in this article. 'Something' resonates, bears witness within me as I read those words. It has the 'ring' of truth. Continue to bless us with such articles. Lotsa love.
