The Prodigal Daughter Returns

 “Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.” John 11: 11 "Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.” Ephesians 5: 14 ---- I needed a document printed that I had to complete and post ASAP.   A friend who lives three miles away from me has a printer and works from home.  I texted him and asked if he could print it for me.  He told me I could pop round this morning. While I was at my friend's, he told me he ordered a Christmas gift for his daughter last November and they were finally delivering it today. I asked him what time they were expected and he said between 11:11 and 11.42. He even showed me their email. I burst out laughing.  "What's so funny about that?" "Because they picked 11:11 as a time of delivery," I said. "Don't you remember what that means?" "No." "It's a wake-up call." "I am wide awake now," he said. "Not physically ...

"Therefore He says: Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.'" Ephesians 5: 14 ---- The other day, I was assisting at this university graduation ceremony. At one point, I decided to have a  wander to see if I could help any of the guests.  I noticed people staring at me. It was then I realised I had been strolling nonchalantly in front of the area where the graduates were having their photos taken. They were too polite to ask me to move. Later, one of my colleagues told me she had been wondering why I was walking in that direction. I told her I was obviously sleepwalking. 😀

Two days ago, while I was shopping at the supermarket, the total amount spent was over £13. After I swiped my loyalty card (which gives you discounts), the amount I had to pay was £11.11, which got my attention. Today while I was typing on my phone, my attention was suddenly drawn to the time and it was 11.11 am. I know 11.11 is a sign for you to wake up from your sleep.  This is what Jesus said about his friend, Lazarus, before he resurrected him after he had been dead for four days: “Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.” John 11: 11 Lord, please help me stay awake from my spiritual slumber. Amen.❤️ Photo courtesy of Google Images

"Bless the Lord, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word." Psalm 103: 20 “Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” Ephesians 5: 14 ---- Many years ago when I was into the New Age, there was this obsession  about seeing 11:11, which I noticed quite a lot.  The belief among "light workers" was that whenever you see these numbers, it's a reminder from the angels to wake you up from your spiritual "sleep." As a believer in and follower of Christ, I know real angels of God do not operate that way, they act only on God's Word. (Psalm 103: 20)  So where did the belief in 11:11 as a sign to wake up come from? Well, in the Bible (Gospel of John chapter 11), Jesus is sent a message that his dear friend, Lazarus, is sick. Jesus waits several days before he decides to visit Lazarus (who by then was now dead and buried). This is what Jesus says to his disciples: "Our friend La...

I have observed I tend to only see what I have in my thoughts and ignore things that are in plain sight. That's why I need the Mind of Christ which sees all and knows all things. Speaking of which, there's an interesting exhibition at the Wellcome Collection, which someone brought to my attention.  It's called "Plain Sight." There's a lot to take in. I'll definitely pay another visit in the future. I took a photo of my avatar. You sit in front of this mirror and the image changes. Very interesting. 👍

"When you arise, O Lord, you will laugh at their silly ideas as a person laughs at dreams in the morning." Psalm 73: 20 “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you lightsilly.” Ephesians 5: 14 ---- In my dream this morning, I was told something had gone wrong at my possessions. I can't remember the exact details  but thete was something broken. While I was picking up the pieces, this man walking by said to me, "You're not having a good day, are you?: "It's okay, it doesn't matter. Besides, it's only a dream anyway!" I said. I then woke up from that dream. I believe I am either experiencing God's reality or human dream. The human dream can be dissolved when it is seen as silly ideas that mean nothing.
