1) We've fallen asleep (Isaiah 29:10)
** The Jews were asleep spiritually so God let them sleep on.
** Remember when the 3 disciples slept in the Garden of Gethsemane - Jesus came the second time and let them sleep.
** Because of this they were startled awake by the enemy and grabbed the wrong weapon.
** In this story and in Isaiah God was bringing an enemy - it would be the thunder-clap to wake them up.
** When you're asleep you're alive but oblivious to what's going on around you.
** When you're asleep you're not concerned with what's going on around you.
** When you're asleep you can't do anything about what's going on around you.
** When you're asleep you don't want to do anything about what's going on around you.
** How do you fall asleep?
** Prov 23:21 - when you indulge the appetite you fall asleep, and the fact you indulged it is proof that you aren't relating with God.
** How do we know we're asleep?
2) When relationship has turned into religion (Galatians 4:16)
** Routine has replaced vibrancy.
** We don't long for God like a child longs for his daddy (Abba).
** How do we know our relationship is just religion? By what we desire (indulging the appetite)
