******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******    

 

 

I have a Vision

We must all be committed to rededicating ourselves to being a

Community of Christians— Kingdom People who have a covenant with one another and with our LORD

Who …..

 

Are learning to no longer bite and devour one another through endless strife, bitterness,
unforgiveness and jealousy, but rather seek to bless one another in the selfless love of Jesus Christ.

Who have decided to no longer divide ourselves into fortified strongholds of doctrinal division, but rather see ourselves first and foremost as citizens of the Kingdom of God and children of the King.

As Family are learning to no longer run after the empty   pleasures of this world, falling prey to its lusts and deception, but rather seek first the Kingdom of God and the righteousness that flows from the reign of Christ in their lives.

Where we as leaders no longer rule over the people of God, controlling and manipulating them for the purposes of building their own empires, but rather come under you—this Fellowship as a firm foundation of righteousness, pushing you ever higher into the purposes for which God has created them.

 As a Body of Believers—we are learning to no longer empower the forces of darkness by assaulting our fellow brothers and sisters in the faith, but rather seek to join together with all who name Jesus Christ as Lord, regardless of worship style, to advance the Kingdom of Light in their city and region.

As a Community of Believers we desire to no longer render carnal judgment based on outward appearance, but rather walk in true spiritual discernment in accordance with the Holy Spirit and the manifestation of His fruit.

As worshippers we desire to no longer worship according to the empty traditions of human experience, but rather out of an intimate relationship with Christ, in Spirit and in truth.

As brothers and sisters we no longer see our spiritual leaders as superhuman beings, to be either exalted or assaulted according to their deeds, but rather as weak and foolish vessels that God has sovereignly chosen to represent Him in all their frailty.

As a Warrior Community of Believers we no longer see the enemy as a fearsome, un-stoppable, conquering foe, but rather as a fallen being whose power is draining, whose kingdom is shrinking, whose influence is waning, and whose end is even now in sight.

As Servant leaders we no longer seek to build our own kingdoms by claiming ownership of God's precious people and resources, but rather seek to build the Kingdom of God by investing all that God has given them into that which brings His life and light into this world.

As a Community of Followers of Christ, we no longer see salvation and eternal life as a final destination, but merely a beginning step towards the goal of manifesting the very likeness of Christ before the whole of creation.

As HIS Family—we are developing a Givers Heart, realizing that all we have belongs to our LORD and is a Blessing from HIM to us, his children.  We are committed to sowing the resources HE has given to us into Kingdom purposes—and rejoicing as we see HIS Wonderful Harvest.

As History Makers we are committed to no longer slumbering while waiting for the Great Escape, but rather we desire to diligently labor in the business of the King until He returns in the clouds.

As a supernatural people we will no longer relegate the miraculous, supernatural workings of God to another age - past or future, but rather we are committed to living in the faith that God is the I AM, the same yesterday, today and forever and is no respecter of persons.

We desire that when the community sees us, they will no longer sees a weak, pathetic, unloving, impotent, hypocritical Church, but rather a powerful, loving, fruitful, multi-colored, multi-gifted tribe of people who walk in truth and integrity, exhibiting the very nature and essence of the One who lives within them.

We desire Family to be so filled with the manifest Presence of Christ and His healing power that this community beats a path to the door of Jesus Christ ,  coming in reverential awe to receive the divine touch of His hand.

That we are a part of the Army of God which is marching throughout the earth, possessing the land, making the Kingdoms of this world the Kingdoms of our God and of His Christ.

Does this vision sound possible to you?

If  not, perhaps you have grown weary in doing good, and it's time for you to seek hard after the refreshing presence of God.

 

If  not, perhaps you have been wounded, and it's time for you to forgive your transgressors as you have been forgiven and love them as Christ loves you.

 

If  not, perhaps you are living in the glory of the past and it's time for you to leave it behind and get a fresh vision for the future.

 

If  not, perhaps you have been snared by defeatist theology, and it's time for you to throw your old Bible away, buy a new one, and read it through a new pair of glasses.

 

If  you think this is possible, I invite you to join with me and multitudes of others in the Kingdom of God and help us change the world, one heart at a time.
