Awaken: Arise

By Christopher Anderson

As I read this book, there was a stirring that began to take place deep within my spirit. The fire within me was being rekindled! A passion and an overwhelming desire to see God awaken not only myself but also my family, my church, my community, and the world filled my heart. I was reminded of what is missing in the Church: the truth of Gods Word coming forth that would bring conviction to the hearts of man.

Anderson makes the case that God has set aside some in this generation who will rise up as Samuel did in ancient Israel to replace the current leaders of the Church to help purify the Bride of Christ for His Return. And do we ever need that! Christians need to wake up and begin functioning in the full power of the Holy Spirit. You will know, as you read this book, exactly where you are and find out what you need to do next.

About the Author

Foreword

We are revolutionaries sent to bring revolution. Pastor Christopher Anderson launches a strike into the heart of darkness with Awaken: Arise. The Lord is founding and empowering new ministries all over America and the world in 2016 and the call to Revolution is the plain, simple Truth. The Church’s mission has never changed over the past two millennia, but we have. The call of Jesus Christ is still one of overturning and overcoming the very fabric of this world. And now as we rapidly approach the Time of the End, the trumpet must sound crystal clear, for we are at war.

Anderson makes the case that God has set aside some in this generation who will rise up as Samuel did in ancient Israel to displace the current leaders of the Church to help purify the Bride for His Return. And do we ever need that! Christians need to wake up and function in the full power of the Holy Spirit. You will know as you read this book where you are and find out exactly what you need to do next. Always mindful to encourage and exhort, Pastor Anderson cuts to the root as he writes, To the Samuels who will read this remain resolute in the message that is burning inside your heart. The time of the sons of Eli is at an end; your time has come.

I have been richly blessed to come to know Pastor Anderson as a friend and fellow-laborer for the glory of the Kingdom of God. I am very much looking forward to serving alongside his ministry in the exciting days to come that the prophets of old desired to see. I wholeheartedly endorse Awaken: Arise and echo its call to prepare for tragedy, prepare for glory, and prepare for the King. Following to the Way, Jesus Christ, come what may.

Throughout history, we see that the Spirit of God desires to communicate with His people. He warns of things to come, to impart wisdom, and delivers instruction but most importantly He draw hearts to Him. What you hold in your hand is a message from heaven that accomplishes just that.

Awaken: Arise is more than just a good book; it’s a call to the faithful. This book is a challenge to those who have decided to answer the call to become a disciple of Jesus and walk the narrow way beside Him. Since the birth of the Church, some of the greatest needs in the body of Christ have been to discern the times we are living in, to realize who we are in Christ and to walk in what we have been given through His Spirit. These three needs are answered in this book.

Chris Anderson brings a challenging and convicting message that will stir the hearts of believers to return to their first love. Through Biblically sound teaching, Chris shows us the prophetic significance of the times we are living in as well as how to prepare for what is to come. As we progress toward the close of one age and the beginning of another, it is of the upmost importance that we keep our eyes on Jesus and renew our dedication to preaching the gospel of the Kingdom and making disciples. Awaken Arise will challenge you to do just that!

Chris Anderson is a disciple of Jesus who walks in the upmost integrity and demonstrates the fruit of the Spirit. He has a heart set on fire for Jesus, and a desire to see others walk in their God given assignment. I highly recommend not only this book but also his ministry, Boot Camp Ministries.

As I read this book, there was a stirring that began to take place deep within my spirit. The fire within me was being rekindled! A passion and an overwhelming desire to see God awaken not only myself but also my family, my church, my community and the world filled my heart. I was reminded of what was missing in the Church: the truth of God’s Word coming forth that would bring conviction to the heart of man. A conviction that moves a person to be wholly submitted to God and then surrender their will and way fully unto Him.

It is refreshing and certainly exciting to see a generation that desire a genuine move of God. A move that goes deeper than the surface, one that goes straight to the heart. I’m very excited that Christopher Anderson is not allowing his spiritual heritage to die with his generation. He is keeping it alive by letting the Holy Spirit guide and direct his life, and by sharing the truth of God’s Word that will set a man, a church, a community and a world free from the yokes of sin.

I assure you that if you persevere through these pages, you will emerge at the end with a greater understanding of our world, current events, as well as the late season in which we find ourselves. I have spent countless hours in prayer, study, and preparation to bring you this offering. You will find this work presented with the applicable scriptural references as well as references to any outside resource. What I do not want is for you to put down this book and think
