Ok I'm Awake Now!!
When Jesus was the most vulnerable & needed his disciples they where incapable of helping him. because they couldnt stay awake.
It’s amazing to see people wake from a sleeping stupor and take action to something monumental…
In June 25, 1962 The US Supreme Court Ruled prayer in public schools is unconstitutional. (Thats because the Church was sleep)
On June 26,2015 the Supreme Court ruled that states cannot ban same-sex marriage. (50 yrs later the Church is still sleep)
From 1979 to 2007, seven percent of men and 16 percent of women with middle-skill jobs lost their positions, according to the Dallas Fed study. Four percent of these men moved to low-skill work, and 3 percent moved to high-skill jobs. Almost all the women, 15 percent, moved into high-skill jobs, with only 1 percent moving to low-skill work.
In a 2016 paper, David Autor, an economist at M.I.T., and four co-authors, measured academic and economic outcomes of brothers and sisters in Florida born in the decade between 1992 and 2002. For boys and girls raised in two-parent households, there were only modest differences between the sexes in terms of success at school, and boys tended to earn more than their sisters in early adulthood.
Among children raised in single-parent households, however, boys performed significantly less well than their sisters in school, and their employment rate as young adults was lower. “Relative to their sisters,” Autor and his collaborators wrote, “boys born to disadvantaged families” — with disadvantage measured here by mother’s marital status and education — “have higher rates of disciplinary problems, lower achievement scores, and fewer high-school completions.” When the children in the study reached early adulthood, the same pattern emerged in employment: Employment rates of young women are nearly invariant to family marital status, while the employment rates of young adult men from non-married families are eight to ten percentage points below those from married families at all income levels. Autor and his co-authors conclude that family structure “is more consequential for the skills development and labor market outcomes of boys than girls.”
While marriages are breaking up more in the working class, an extensive study of divorce found that “infidelity, domestic violence, and substance abuse were the most often endorsed ‘final straw’ reasons” for the dissolution of marriages. These are all behaviors that men from disrupted families — who often have difficulty holding relationships together — frequently demonstrate.
Do Me A Favor And Repeat My Subject To Like Three Folks that look like they need a mint, and Say ▸Ok I’m Awake Now
In one of the opening scenes of this section, a woman plays the role that women continue to play in the accounts of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection: a foil that reveals the inadequate commitment of the male disciples. But most significant, her sacrifice provides a stark contrast to Judas’s determination to profit somehow from Jesus, and his ultimate betrayal of Jesus to his enemies.
Jesus suffering at the hands of a close associate and disciple should encourage us when we experience rejection from those we seek to help. Please Note that most of the male disciples failed to stand firm during the time Jesus needed them the most.. This should challenge us to watch and pray that we may be ready for testing.
Whats Interesting to see here is, that all 12 men called by Jesus all had careers that they where doing very well at, and forsook them to follow. Butttttt None of them where delivered from the devil that was in them,
These are examples of the disciples sleeping on Jesus, AND BECOMING DRUNK WITH ambition to the point that even when he mentioned being betrayed and killed, they where more concerned with who would be the greatest.. If that ain’t the ambition devil i’m not sure what is..
I. I liken this to our Praise Life” many men in the body of Christ allow life interruptions to interfere with praising God..they put a pause on their praise.. They only hit play when things are going well, but the moment trouble comes.. pause… Don’t look but there are a few fellas in here thats on pause.. My 3 yr. old member Mel Mel was in service last week praising God hard.. (and conviction kicked in) He’s 3 and hasn’t gone thru nothing but he has a reason to praise me, you have gone thru hell and your sitting watching him… what’s obstructing your praise!! Go (In)
39 He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
40 Then he returned to the disciples and found them asleep. He said to Peter, “Couldn’t you watch with me even one hour? 41 Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!”
42 Then Jesus left them a second time and prayed, “My Father! If this cup cannot be taken away* unless I drink it, your will be done.” 43 When he returned to them again, he found them sleeping, for they couldn’t keep their eyes open.

44 So he went to pray a third time, saying the same things again. 45 Then he came to the disciples and said, “Go ahead and sleep. Have your rest. But look—the time has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Up, let’s be going. Look, my betrayer is here!”
