Asleep/Awake

Most people don't want to think about degrees of being awake and degrees of being asleep. Awakening is unpleasant. You awaken into realization you're in a bad place. A fallen world full of violence and potential violence. Most people want to remain comfortably asleep eating ice cream.

Yet if you do think about and actually attempt to raise your level of being awake then remember this: you don't want to be the most awake person in hell.

You need the armor of God. Biblical doctrine is armor of God. Get real doctrine. You also need a connection to the Kingdom of God. You only get that with faith in Jesus Christ and all that is taught in His work on the cross.
