When will it awaken, if it is?

Many churches find it unnecessary to have services three times a week. The Christian church in general doesnt seem aware of their rights being chipped away. If the church was focused and diligent, we could change our world for the better.

The word "church" is generally defined as, "a group of people called out for a specific purpose". It isn't a fashion or community information center. It's not a conscience appeaser or a place you can say you go to make you seem good or better to others. Church is NOT a building. Church is an organism not an organization. It is the Body of Christ. Ephesians 1:22&23, 5:14-16, 4:15&16 "....And hath put all things under His (Jesus) feet, and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the church, which is His Body, the fulnes of Him that filleth all in all." "Wherefore He saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that you walk circumspectly (carefully) , nots as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is." "But speaking the truth (walking the talk) in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the Head, even Christ: From Whom the whole Body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the Body unto the edifying of itself in love." The Church is an organism, it is Christ's Body. Believe me He is NOT asleep. Many profess yet reality is Walking the Talk. The Real Church is awake and following His Lead. We are not anyone's judge, yet Jesus said that you can know the reality of a person by the "fruits" that they bare. Therefore, we can be fruit inspectors. God's Church in Jesus Christ is Awake.

That's a great question.The church is his bride.It is the believers themselves that are his bride.It isn't a physical location or building(church).So maybe some believers are asleep and some certainly are fully awake.

I do think that there will be a big revival before the end of this age.
In a scripture concerning the great tribulation period the Bible says that they that know their God will be strong and do exploits!

SECRET NO. 11
GOD ALMIGHTY has been raising up alot of HIS Children, who refuse to Believe in RELIGION, and will follow HIS WORD and walk in FAITH. This thing is agonna hafta' get a-going, and GOD need's men and women of FAITH to pull it off. Remember GOD's People in the Wilderness, who wouldn't BELIEVE GOD, and went around in circle's for year's??? Till the Unbeliever's died-off(they made it to HEAVEN) and their Children chose to Believe what GOD said bout' taking the PROMISED LAND, and rose-up in FAITH with Joshua and Caleb, and went on in and TOOK the PROMISED LAND. There have been too many Children of GOD playing church, and not becomning the VICTORIOUS CHURCH that is needed to finish this thing. Also, when the Man of GOD got into depression and told GOD he was the only one left that Believed GOD, GOD told HIS Man, Lookie here son, I got 7000 kid's that haven't bowed their knee's to Baal-----when GOD get's ready, HE WILL HAVE THE NECESSARY PEOPLE that HE NEED's, who can walk in FAITH and LOVE------Hope this helps.
p.s. Alot of these people are Home-Schooled by the HOLY SPIRIT---and alot attend church too!!!!

I don't believe so. I think too many have lost faith in structured religion because it is becoming too much like big business.
