"And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” Romans 13:11
Sleep, oh yes, sweet sleep. I, like most people, love to sleep. The average American sleeps 6.9 hours per night. That means that we sleep almost 1/3 of our lives. If you live to be 90 years old, you will sleep almost 30 of those years.
There are several references in the Word of God to 'shaking something off'. We are told to shake the dust off our feet. We read of Peter shaking a snake off his hand. By principle, we are taught to shake things off! Remove their influence from our lives! Shortcomings! Religion! Heaviness! Both external and internal things must be shaken off to leave us free to pursue the things of God in our lives! This message will give you the necessary tools to help you shake off the things that hinder your progress in God!
