Command: wake up, strengthen, remember, keep, hear
Revelation 3:2-3
2 Be constantly alert (wake up), and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God. 3 So remember how you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. Then if you are not alert (awake), I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.

6 The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

Audio Message:
When meditating on the commands and stories, keep these questions in mind:
- What do I learn about God, Jesus, and/or the Holy Spirit?
- What do I learn about man/ people?
- What troubles or bothers me? What does the Holy Spirit reveal to me in light of this?
- How does the command connect to the story?
- What is God saying to me (or what should I obey) & what am I going to do about it?
- Do I have any fears, doubts, or resistance in keeping this command?
- What does this command reveal about the condition of my heart – what do I really believe and what do I really want?
