And when he comes, he will open the eyes of the blind

and streams will water the wasteland.

Awareness
Deep inside all of us is the longing to experience the Bible in our lives. We want to see more of God collaborating in our daily activities. We’d like to talk to Him and hear more from Him. We need to challenge ourselves to be in situations where our only option is to rely on God. This is where faith meets your experience.
Luke 17:20-21, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
Many of us have been praying for revival but if we recognize and honor the God in us, then we carry the revival within us! Wherever the Kingdom of God is, there is revival. It may not look like what we think it should be. Don’t look for a miracle; we are the miracle sent by God through the power of the Holy Spirit. The greatest miracle is seeing someone accept Jesus as their Lord and change their physical and spiritual destiny for eternity. In a blink of an eye, a person’s life was changed forever.
”Our awareness directs our action and our collective action changes our culture.”~ Merlin
Awareness directs our action but we need to act on it, then it will have impact on our life. You act on things that are important and according to your priority.
Expanding your awareness of the Kingdom will change all the aspects of your life, your family, your work, your money, your business, and your future. How would your priorities change, and where will your focus be?
We know that there are many benefits in exercising, eating healthy foods, having enough sleep and living a less stressful life. This is good information to be aware of, it could change how you feel, how you look and how you live. But this is only knowledge; unless you act on them, they will remain in your head and they may not have a direct effect in your life. We need the awareness of the Kingdom high in our consciousness if we want to see more of heaven here on earth.
“Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men and women. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doings of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle.” ~ John F. Kennedy
What are your tasks that seem monumental? Pray for powers equal to your tasks. The ultimate power that we need is heavenly power, power from above, power from the Lord. That’s why we need to put our priority in knowing, believing and acting on God’s will.
