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.
