AWAKE – by Shirrell Wells

I have gently stirred, and quietly spoken urging my people; but now I am shaking and shouting AWAKE and ARISE daughter of Zion, my remnant.

As Samson shook himself free from the restrictions of the enemy, he destroyed and tore down the idols of the Philistines and so am I calling you to do!

Arise and Awaken! Arouse yourself from an inactive state my people. NOW is the time to let your voices be heard.  Now is the time to put away everything that has hindered you.  To cast aside those things that have caused you to delay; things that have interrupted you or caused you to say it is too difficult. Put away those things that have prevented you from doing what I have spoken to you, things that have impeded on your life. Cast aside those things that have distracted you, and have held you captive.  Hear me now!  I am bringing you into a new dimension by my Spirit; therefore walk in my Spirit and  heed my voice! I will bring you into new territories; and there will be no boundaries to hold you back.

I have gently cradled you in my hand.  I have nourished you with my Word and promises; but now I am breathing my power into you, and placing your feet on solid ground.  I am sounding the alarm to AWAKE and ARISE, and to shake yourselves;  I am calling you to be bold and courageous.  My Word that you have hid in your hearts will resound to the Nations.  Lift up your voices and be heard!


Truly as Samson was blinded by his enemy and brought into captivity my Spirit was with him still.   When the fullness of time had come, he remembered who he was in Me, and his end was greater than his beginning.  So it is with my people.  Too long they have been held captive and blinded by this world. I am shaking and I am calling them to awake and arise.   My Spirit is blowing over the earth, shifting and moving the atmosphere.  Greater will this latter church be than the former.  Truly it will be as the days of my prophet Joel prophesied. My Spirit will move in the earth on your sons and on your daughters, on the old and the young alike.  A visitation of holiness and reverence for my presence will manifest in my house and you will be changed in that presence.  A new song will spring forth in the hearts of my people, a song of deliverance, a song of healing, a song of praise, a song of worship, and the whole earth will be affected.

So awake, be aware and recognize your position. Arise, and take action!   Move forward ! Don’t stay in your current state, but move toward your position and release and relinquish every confinement, bondage, obligation, and pain to Me.  Then  the power  of My presence will be released  in your life, and in others  when you  have taken your appointed position and are operating in My power.

It is time, indeed it is time to shake free from and dislodge the strongholds that have held you back from stepping out and forward in faith.   Fear of man will no longer restrain you; no longer hold you back from action or keep you under control. Hear me now and delay not, no longer putting off to another time! Know and become aware, understand whatit is I am doing.  Grasp the significance and implication, the power and the importance of it.   This is My day, and My hour  that I have set aside for purpose and destiny in your lives and for man on the earth.  How I love you and desire you to embrace all that I have for you.  Awake…Arise become cognizant and aware of your position as the bride of Christ. 

Discern the Time – by Shirrell Wells

There is a rumble and a roar in the atmosphere.  The cry of the Lion of Judah resonates in the heavens and the earth.  I am strategically placing sentries, my soldiers around the four corners of the earth.  They will assume their proper position, preventing unauthorized entry through the gates of this opportunity. I will achieve the plans I have purposed in my heart.  Who will defy that I am God?  Who will challenge my authority? Though darkness seems to be overtaking the world, My Light will illuminate right choices, right thinking, and right actions.  The shadow of grim and depressing circumstances cannot stay hidden in the shining light of who I am.  I will expose the evil agendas of political and social influences.   I am beginning to separate the sheep from the goats, I am beginning to separate the wheat from the tares.  My people will begin to take position throughout the world, my army is rising up in power, wisdom, and influence.  They will begin to exercise their authority by my Spirit, and a divine ability to discern the right course of actions in any given circumstance will become prevalent. The world will be amazed at the capacity of wisdom of those who are called by My Name. 

I am shaking and rousing many who have been sleeping, I am stirring and moving those who have set aside their mission.  No longer will they be satisfied with a dormant position.  An intense excitement will begin to be birthed in their spirit, and an intense emotional response will cause them to take their place in the assignment I have purposed for them to do.  My voice will be heard, my power, my control and authority will be witnessed, and the evidence of my wisdom will prevail.

I am shutting the mouth of dissention; I will no longer tolerate the contentious quarreling among my people; I am silencing the voice of confusion.   My prophets will begin to be heard by the nations, my evangelists will be released among the lost, and my pastors will begin restoring the kingdom.

Can you see the move of my hand?  Do you understand what is happening before your eyes? Can you grasp the meaning of all these things?   Even as nation rises against nation, I have a remnant, a surviving group, those who have separated themselves from the lust of this world.  They have clearly made a distinction between good and evil, who do not idly accept, nor embrace the mindset of the common social and political agendas.   I have those who listen for my voice, who pay close attention to what I have to say. My sovereign power will be demonstrated.  I will exercise my supreme authority and control.

I am removing obstacles that have hindered the race towards the mark of my calling.  I am releasing my anointing to destroy the yoke of bondages. As it is written in Isaiah 10:27 “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from my neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.”   Bondages of drugs and alcohol, bondages of perversion, bondages of rebellion, my anointing will drench, completely saturate my people, and these things will disintegrate, completely break away from them before their very eyes. Who will be able to deny the power of my arm?  Is there one who will then challenge my authority and control?

My Spirit will move across the earth, mankind will not be the same.  For who can stop the Lord Almighty?  I am extending my hand of forgiveness, offering to forgive your debt.  I am offering peace and safety, freedom from disquieting and oppressive thoughts to disturb your emotional state.   I am the refuge and shelter for those who are exposed to attack.  I am your protector from danger or distress. Who will run to me? 

There will become a clear distinction of who is MINE, that which belongs to Me. Who will hide from the King of kings?  I will cause nations to recognize and formally acknowledge that they have no power when faced with the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. At the confrontation of Jesus, every knew will bow, and every tongue confess, I AM LORD.
