1. A SLEEP OF PRISONERS Dark and cold we may be, but this Is no winter now. The frozen misery Of centuries breaks, cracks, begins to move; The thunder is the thunder of the floes, The thaw, the flood, the upstart Spring. Thank God our time is now when wrong Comes up to face us everywhere, Never to leave us till we take The longest stride of soul we ever took. Affairs are now soul size. The enterprise Is exploration into God. Where are you making for? It takes So many thousand years to wake, But will you wake for pity's sake! -- Christopher Fry

10. 6 ”I have made your name known to those whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me is from you; 8 for the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I have been glorified in them. Jesus’ Prayer of Consecration/Sanctification John 17:6-10

13. 11 And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I protected them in your name that you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was lost except the one destined to be lost, so that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves. Jesus’ Prayer of Consecration/Sanctification John 17:11-13

14. 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth. Jesus’ Prayer of Consecration/Sanctification John 17:14-19

16. How do we live this out? Walking Awareness of God’s: 1) Timing 2) Word 3) Clarity

17. Clarity on World from Jesus: NOT LIKE THE GENTILES

18. But I say to you, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.... If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Matthew 5:44-47

19. 7 “And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. 8 So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. Matthew 6

20. 31 Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32 For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, Matthew 6

21. 25 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. 26 It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant Matthew 20

22. Not Like the Gentiles from Paul: It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a knd as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father’s wife. 1 Corinthians 5:1

23. Not Like the Gentiles from Paul : 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God; 1 Thessalonians 4

24. Not Like the Gentiles from PETER : 4:1 Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the LUSTS of men, but for the will of God. 3 For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the DESIRE OF THE GENTILES, having pursued a COURSE OF SENSUALITY: lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties and abominable idolatries. 4 In all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same excesses of dissipation, and they VILIFY you; 1 Peter 4
