RAISE AWARENESS

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." Proverbs 31:8-9
"And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever." John 14:16
"But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." John 14:26
"When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—He will testify about Me." John 15:26
“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Read "The Importance of Awareness" from biblicalleadership.com. "Jesus teaches His disciples this important lesson about awareness because He doesn’t want them to miss out on what He is doing. He wants them to appreciate how they can be a part of this by opening their eyes. God is always at work, and He is working to bring about good fruit in the world if only His people would open their eyes and see."

"Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? —unless indeed you fail to meet the test!" 2 Corinthians 13:5.
"Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." Psalm 139:23-24.
Examine your heart when it comes to raising awareness for motives, concerns, readiness, and equipment.
Specific to this challenge, it is important to raise awareness for Christ-centered Kingdom building causes. We must raise awareness for Christ in Christ's Name! Outreach is about more than making people aware of a need; it is about making people aware of their utmost need for a Savior and how their greatest need can only be met in Christ Jesus.

"Lord Jesus, I give you my hands to do your work.I give you my feet to go your way. I give you my eyes to see as you do. I give you my tongue to speak your words. I give you my mind that you may think in me. I give you my spirit that you may pray in me. Above all, I give you my heart that you may love in me, your Father, and all humankind. I give you my whole self that you may grow in me, So that it is you, Lord Jesus, Who lives and works and prays in me." (From Yours are the Hands of Christ by Lancelot Andrewes, chaplain to Elizabeth I who oversaw the translation of the King James Version of the Bible.)

READY: Now that you have studied Biblically, trained Spiritually, examined your heart, and prayed over this challenge, you are ready to undertake raising awareness. You equipped yourself Spiritually, mentally, and physically, so get ready to go girl! This is a tough challenge! If you don't feel ready, trust that God has set you up to succeed!
SET: When God sent Moses with a message, Moses knew it may not be received or go well for him, to the point that in Exodus 4, Moses complained, "I am slow of speech and tongue” and said to the Lord, "Please send someone else". But Moses did go! Moses was later described as being "powerful in speech and action" (Acts 7:22). When it comes to raising awareness, you may think, "Please send someone else" but God is calling you and will overcome your fears and faults to work through you. When we trust God, our inadequacy becomes our legacy.

In what ways did you raise awareness?
How can you raise awareness in the future?
What did you learn from raising awareness?
How can you make raising awareness a lifelong discipline?
Pray to persevere in raising awareness.
"So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised." Hebrews 10:35-36
