Stay Awake in These Last Days
Jesus is coming back soon! When He arrives, you don’t want Him to find you living like the world and being ruled by your flesh. You want to be spiritually ready to go. And the only way that can happen is if you follow His instructions to stay awake and alert in these last days.
The pressures and temptations are only going to mount in the days and years ahead, so we’re going to have to double down on our determination to live as He has called us if we are to stand strong until the end.
Don’t let that thought discourage you or make you afraid though. God is with you in this. He has given you everything you need to succeed, and He’s standing by to help you all the way to the finish line. You are NEVER alone.
The only way He can come alongside us, though, is if we do as Paul told us when he said, “Let us watch”. The Greek word translated watch means “to be sleepless.” In other words, stay awake!
How do you stay awake spiritually?
By feeding on the Word of God, refusing to be lazy, and disciplining your flesh. Fasting is a great way to clear aside the flesh. If you’ve never made fasting part of your spiritual life, we encourage you to do so! You can learn more about when and how to fast from a link listed on the last day of this plan.
Whatever you do, make sure when Jesus returns, He finds you wide awake and ready to be with Him for eternity.

About this Plan
When you were born again, your spirit was re-created—but your flesh was not. It stayed the same, and it still wants to go the wrong way at times. In this seven-day study, you’ll learn how self-control, a fruit of the spirit listed in Galatians 5:22-23, will help you guard every area of your life—finances, health, relationships, career—everything. That’s a fruit worth investing in!
