Gospel Revolution - Part 3

WE NEED A REVOLUTION OF HOLY SPIRIT FIRE,
A SUPERNATUAL REVOLUTION
- Michael Brown


The reason America is in such a mess today is not so much because of corrupt politicians and sinful movie stars. No. The primary reason is the backslidden, compromised church. The reason there is so much darkness is because the light within the land---the house of God!---has been dark . . . 'We have seen the enemy, and it is us.' To be consistent, the call to violent activism would have to sound like this: 'Kill the compromised clergy! Slaughter the sleeping saints! Shoot the sinning shepherds! Nuke the noncommitted! Blow up the bankrupt believers! Wipe out the worldly watchmen! Who among us can throw the first stone---or shoot the first bullet?

It is not time to pick up arms and guns; it's time to put on the whole armor of God. That is the key to our success. That is how we win. The warfare begins with us, God's people. And when we are changed, we can change the world . . . When a person undergoes a revolutionary encounter with Jesus Christ in the dimension of the Spirit, he becomes a catalyst of revolution . . . A revolution not by the sword but by the cross . . . a revolution of love.

(Michael Brown's REVOLUTION, pp.287-288).
