Waking up a Sleeping Giant
Updated for today — a Warning for every Church!
I posted, below, an old picture of a penguin, holding a pair of cymbals, standing over a sleeping polar bear.
The very thought of him waking that bear by crashing the cymbals together strikes an amusing chord in most of us.
But what about there being a message in this picture?
I was looking at this picture and I heard The LORD laugh!
I asked Him about it and I could sense the twinkle in His Eye as He replied, “This is a good representation of the “wake up” call I AM sending to My People!
Some will wake up angry at having their peace disturbed. Some will wake up startled, looking for the enemy to fight.
Others will yawn, stretch, and turn right over, saying, “Oh do go away and leave me alone!”
But some will wake up very confused and just saying, “What, what, what . . . ?”
I tell you, My People are not ready for the shaking and wake up call they’re about to receive.”
He continued, “Much as the picture could be very amusing, so too it could be shocking, even dangerous.
My Church — when I rouse her — will turn from a sleeping giant into a war making machine full of righteous anger. Then you will see the revival you’ve been seeking for so long!
When My People wake up to how both I and they have been abused and trampled under the enemy’s feet, then many will run to My Flag, putting their armour on as they run.
Many of course will simply say, “Nothing to worry about, we’ve got our Church to protect us!” — while others will just ignore it altogether in an attitude of sanctified complacency.
The Remnant will form My End-time Army of saints and they shall be The Harvesters of My End-time Revival!”

Great word Chris! I smiled when you said our Lord found the graphic amusing, yet accurate. I pray I will be ready and fully awake when the cymbals crash, it’s not far away.
This reminded me of Tommy Hicks 60 year old “Giant” vision. You can find it online
Thank you for the humor and the words we need, to get ready for a wake up call that is not very far in our future!!!His word is not void but is preparing us for that day.
WOW! The fear of the LORD is an awesome BEAUTY. LOOOORD, THANK YOU, from the NORTH to the SOUTH thy WILL be done!
This is incredible! I read your post daily Thank You for sharing! It is confirmation to me of dreams and visions that I’ve had since a young girl! I am 51 years old and I see what’s happening with our world and the sleeping church! Yes, I believe God is getting ready to shake everything like never before! I have been preparing for it most of my life. I hope I am truly ready! I pray for your safety and Gods blessing!
Amen, excellent post and illustration. I wonder how many will read, understand and wake up! Real revival won’t come until a move of wake-up and repentance by the church happens. Thanks for sharing, God bless!
Yes Lord, we declare the church will wake up and see and hear and receive and get excited about what you are saying today through your prophets and remnant. Powerful words Chris. Thank you
Chris, that made me really laugh out loud. I love how the Lord presents us pictures that speak volumes and wake us up to a joyful noise when I respond to His humor and then HE brings in the message that follows his “wake up” moment that brings us to a crossroads of choice. It is a life or death situation that boils down to light or darkness in this hour. Thanks for sharing! Great word. Grace, blessings and peace to you and Linda! Sandi
