For today's update, I want to talk with you about what Scripture really says concerning

one being awake as it relates to Bible prophecy. You know what's sad. Like with everything else, Satan has sought to and in large measures succeeded at the

counterfeiting and confusing of this particular biblical truth, namely that of being awake, or as the world has dubbed it,

being woke, which is yet another marring, even perverting of the truth.

I know that's strong, but it's a needed strength.

And actually, if you wouldn't mind, I would like to pray if you would join with me.

This particular update is one that the enemy will do everything he can to disrupt, distract.

This is very important and very serious. So let's pray if you would, please join with me.

Father in heaven, I humble myself before you and ask of you to be present here by way of the Holy Spirit.

Lord, that the Holy Spirit would be our teacher and our guide as we navigate our way through this very touchy topic.

Lord, you have to get our attention and then once you do, you need to keep our attention and not allow the enemy in any way

to distract our attention so our minds wander because certainly he will do everything and

stop at nothing to distract us from that which you have for us today.

So Jesus, you take over and guide my words.

May they be seasoned with grace, my speech with clarity, my heart with humility.

In Jesus' name, amen.

And amen.

So I want to begin with the Miriam Webster definition of woke.

Have you heard this word?

Well, that's not very convincing.

Should we just close in prayer or?

Woke.
