Across the land is a a new breeze of the Spirit. America grew in the spirit of Revolution but God's Holy Spirit is bringing a revolution of radical disciples. A spiritual revolution with a strong challenge to the church for holiness. Here are some more excerpts from Michael Brown REVOLUTION: THE CALL TO HOLY WAR:
God's kingdom is a threat to Satan's kingdom. Holiness is a threat to sin. Freedom is a threat to bondage . . . The gospel is subversive to idolatry! It says that 'man-made gods are no gods at all.' What is an idol? An idol is anything that takes the place of God in your life--anything that you worship and adore in His stead. It is the thing that absorbs you and dominates you, the thing that has your heart and emotions, the thing that influences your will and guides your life. It is that to which you give yourself, that which consumes your energy and inspires your dreams, that which really is the center of your life and the object of your adoration (pp.83, 116).
There is no message more radical, more revlutionary, more prophetic, more dynamic, more dangerous to hell than the message of HOLINESS TO THE LORD (emphasis his) . . . True conversion does not come by the sword but by the Cross, not by the taking of life but by the laying down of life . . . We live by dying (to self and this world); we receive by giving; we overcome evil with good, defeating hatred with love (pp.173, 237).
If we are winning people to a compromised life or compromised church, what are we really winning them to?
