The Revolution

It is TIME! God has stirred my heart deeper in the last month than ever before. Vision has caused this hunger to grow in such a way that my heart is breaking for things that never really impacted me. It’s time for the Church to move in a revolution. I want to show you what I’m talking about by explaining why a revolution and what revolution means for the Church.

Revolution is defined as an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed. A radical and pervasive change in society and the social structure. One made suddenly and often accompanied by violence. A sudden, complete or marked change in something. A procedure or course, as if in a circuit, back to a starting point. A single turn of this kind.

The definition alone should stir excitement in your heart, but what I want you to look at is the difference in the Church that Jesus built and what we have built Church as it is today. God gave me a vision for a revolution that the entire Church is going to feel the ripple effect out of. Freedom in America has been manipulated to the mind-set of selfishness. The first thing most people think about when they hear freedom is, I am free to do what ever I want. Freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of religion. You see we have taken a beautiful word like freedom and made it all about what I can get at the current moment. Freedom is so much more than a selfish thought. Freedom should be a mind-set of what we bring as an inheritance to the generation to come. That in freedom it doesn’t mean absolutely no control, but that it establishes a government of open minds, thinking outside of the normal. Hundreds of thousands, it’s probably safe to say that even millions have given their lives for this one word that has changed many nations through out History. So why have we watered it down to a selfish mindset?

We have been called to advance the Kingdom of Heaven violently and instead we walk around on our tip toes afraid that we might offend the same people who persecute us. You see I grew up in Church my entire life, was prophesied over at least once a year since I was 12 that I would Pastor. But was never shown how to be passionate and truly love and build a relationship with Jesus. I found myself at age 18 telling God to leave me alone, I was to hurt to continue. It wasn’t tell I met Pastor Mike Bost that I started to understand. He began discipling me and showing me how to grow. By that time I had walked away from God for 5 years. I didn’t want anything to do with God and I find myself months after meeting my Pastor on my kitchen floor weeping and crying out to God for His mercy! This moment has defined me and the way the rest of my life will be!

We have made Church and growth all about us when the love that Abba Father has given us is made to go back out and shared. Do you think that you grow for your own needs? God does give you growth for you to find more of Him, but it’s not for you. It’s for the people who your supposed to take that love and wisdom back out too! Your growth is used to impact and develop more people with the same heart and passion! So if your passion is weak then you will build more weak people with a manipulated mind-set.

This revolution will begin by reaching out to the people who have been hurt by the Church and the people who have never had that true relationship with their Daddy God. They will find us everywhere! In the stores they shop in, in the bookstores, in the malls, the airports, the subways. We are going to begin to strategically place ourselves in places that infect an entire generation and build a new foundation based off the church and vision that Jesus had for the Church. We won’t go out and condemn, but we will go out and love and relate to people by showing them that Christians are real people. We aren’t so Holy that we confine ourselves from them but that we open our arms, homes, lives, and our walk with God to them in a way that changes their life forever. We will go after homosexuals, loving them in a way that shows them their true identity in Christ. We will go after the abused, proving that God’s love is more than enough to conquer their fears and ability to trust and be loved. We will chase down the hypocrites and prove that true relationship is the only way to truly have God. Miracles, signs, and wonders will begin to explode across our nation!

Church, it is time to lay ourselves down and build a bridge for world to walk across and meet God like they have never seen! We will fill the gap for this Nation! Just as Jesus was the gap filler between us and God, we will be the gap filler between the lost and Jesus! The Church doesn’t need to change, what needs to change is the mind-set of the Body! We have been given all power and authority, and have been told that we will do greater things than Jesus did! So what are we waiting for? God has already told you to go, do you think He needs to tell you again?

Where we have found ourselves is in a place where we get people to the point where they know God but don’t know the authority they have in Him. Ok, you introduced them to Jesus, they said the prayer of salvation. Great! Now take them out and teach them how to do works in the name of Jesus. We have gotten comfortable with Church instead of moving into areas that build our faith! We have broken Ministry down to “well your made to go out to the streets and talk to people!” This is the purpose of the entire Church if it wasn’t Jesus would have broken His disciples down into certain areas of ministry. Peter, you stay in Church and preach, John, you just greet people as they come in. Thomas, you go out and evangelise. We are all called to take the love of God out with us and share with the world.

Revolution is here, and God has given me a vision to take out to the entire world. His Glory is all over this generation and He is calling for His sons and daughters to take their inheritance and share it with the world. I’m not hungry for building or separating the foundation, but building upon what has been set in for thousands of years. We will find them in the streets hurting and lost, and we will teach them how to love and grow in God. Then we will take them back out and watch them change people’s lives right beside us. The ripple effect of this revolution will cause the Church to change in a way that no one has ever seen before! It is time for a Revolution!
