Do you see yourself as a Reformer?
Do you have in your heart the desire to revive, to rebuild and/or to restore culture — both inside the Church and without — to the Standard that God gave to us from the beginning? Do you want to be a part of bringing the Kingdom to earth in a real way? If so, you’ve got the heart of a Reformer.
Over the past few decades it’s been all about revival in the Church. Now, don’t get me wrong, revival is very important to the Church, and to reformation. Without revival — the stoking and the keeping of the fire of God on the altar of our hearts as we share this with others along the way — reformation, or a return to the holy and righteous Standard of God for his people, wouldn’t be possible. You need the firm Foundation of Jesus and the Holy Spirit fire on the altar of your heart in order to pioneer with the plan of reformation for the Church in this generation. But now is the time of the Reformer.
In this episode I’ll be sharing with you the stages of revival that lead to reformation and I’ll show you the pattern as displayed in the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai and Zechariah. I’ll also outline the three things you *must* do as a Reformer if you’re going to carry out this mission of bringing powerful reformation to the Church (and beyond) in this season. Are you ready? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let’s Go!
