That which Luther did not accomplish, maybe by the grace of God this generation can begin anew and not get side-tracked. I don’t know what the “vehicle” will be if not “vehicles“. We need everyone in the fight. As Jesus said, “If they’re not against us, let them alone”. We need everyone in this battle. Let’s not divide any more.
Reform, reformation, was good as far as it went, but to accomplish His will “on earth as it is in heaven”, we’ll need transformation! We can’t just change the methods, which the church is good at doing.
More candles, more EPIC services, a touch of incense, electronic media, and professional musicians and singers are all good, but without the presence of God in the service, it’s just good “humanhood” as Joel Godlsmith calls it.
Moving from an institutional church doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve extracted yourself from the “system“. You may have just changed the wine skin and kept the same old wine. Is there more sacrifice, more free giving, and more love lavishly demonstrated?
The restraints of religion go many places and operate through many models.
Tell me how where you are NOW, could be properly categorized as genuine transformation?
The transformation is the true base of the revival.
when we let see the differences between Man/peoples (culture, society, economy, religions) and we understand that the life is not a race where single we looked for our own interests.
I every day try to see where this the heart of GOD and this single one I see it with spiritual eyes, when I see somebody that needs compassion I give my heart as if outside I complete to be alive.
The transformation is activated when we let die our life.
TE AMO!!!
Transformation is what Jesus is all about… is not to be transformed in something we don’t know; it’s to be reconcilied to be what God intended us to be. The book of 1st Corintians talks about the day when Jesus will present to God all creation reconcilied and submitted to Him so God will be all in all. We are called to help; How? by His Spirit and looking for the way Jesus did it; love that serves (compassion), truth that sets us free, rigtheusness that shines and real relationships. Programs will attract people to the church but just Jesus’s way in his disciples will do it to Him. Love is many times uncomfortable; many times hurts but also hopes, reaches and heals. In Houston we need to address social reconciliation in the Body of Christ first to be not just united but unified… then our prayers may bring the shaking of the Spirit able to transform the deepest of the soul and society.
Unity- ONENESS is what the Kingdom is all about.
Once we see I Corinthians 15 “that God is going to be ALL IN ALL,” it brings a peace that passes all understanding. Rules and regulations go by the way side. “Thy will be done…thy kingdom come” is the New Order of the day. I am “SO ONE” with a brother from Kentucky by the Spirit. Doctrinally, we are miles apart. He said there are only two things important to know (1) All will return to God (2) An we need to walk in unity now.
It’s not going to happen by doctrine or creed, but through the Spirit manifesting in LOVE; So (1) God will do the reconciling at the end BUT (2) we do RECONCILIATION NOW!!!!!
WHO IS THAT PERSON THAT YOU WOULD MOST LIKE TO NOT SEE COMING DOWN A WALMART AISLE?
Hmm? Git’er Done!!!
