We need a Revolution!

It seems today that most of the media, both right and left, are consumed with mud slinging and word fights that only cause more consternation and anger among the general populace. Literally, just 22% of voters believe that Congress has any chance to solve the myriad of problems that we face. From nuclear proliferation in Iran to the health care debate at home, our government seems clueless as to the wishes of the American people and our future dreams and aspirations.

Yes, we need a revolution to bring things back in line, but apart from a revolution at the ballot box in November, there is a much greater revolution that must take place if America is to be saved; I am talking about a spiritual revolution that begins in the heart and spreads to the conscience and spirit of a people desperate for answers.
As Christians, if we truly believe that Jesus is the answer to the ills of this nation and our culture, then it is time for a 'NEW REVOLUTION' spreading from the pulpits and pews of our churches into mainstream America challenging this nation again to spiritual greatness.But just where do we begin?

Paul told the church in II. Corinthians 4 that," light has shined out of darkness into our hearts filling our earthly vessels with God's treasure." Wow! What a powerful statement! Out of the dark vastness of an eternal universe, Divine light has burst forth into the hearts of mankind depositing the very essence of God within us! Paul goes on to say in Romans 8:9, that because of that deposit, we no longer are simply mortal but now dwell in a new supernatural spiritual realm!

Let me make it very simple; what are you doing with that deposit invested in you? Are you now walking as one filled with His spirit, or is life, "business as usual?" Shortly after Easter, a Revolution took place in Jerusalem that has shaken the world for 2010 years! A small band of believers who had followed the greatest revolutionary of all, Jesus Christ, within 200 years conquered the greatest empire that had existed to that time-namely Rome. And guess what? They did it not with armies armed with sophisticated weapons but with people filled with supernatural power which had been deposited within them at Pentecost. So, you might ask, what does that have to do with me?

When Jesus told his disciples that he had to leave so that the "comforter' the Holy Spirit could come and fill them, He had something even greater in mind. He went on to tell them in John that it was to their benefit that He leave so that they could be filled with radical power to accomplish even greater things than they had accomplished in those 3 short years. Well again, guess what? That word "disciple" has as much to do with you and me as it did with those early disciples. So my question is this: are you sitting on your giftings ? Have you surrendered to some hurt or fear that has put you on the sidelines? Have you decided that it is 'safer' to hide out in the back of the church than sit on the front row getting involved and serving ?

Maybe you need to get acquainted with the Holy Spirit again, or maybe even seek a deeper walk and baptism in Him. Whatever the case, God is looking for "a few good men and women." He is looking for a whole new generation of radical warriors, willing to spread Revolution spiritually to every corner of this planet known to man. He is looking for a new generation of Revolutionaries, who will carry the cross of Christ to the ends of the earth, beginning in our own neighborhoods.

How about you? Paul Revere is riding again, only this time the message is spiritual. The enemy is at our doorstep, but our weapons, fashioned in the spirit, are far greater; we only need warriors willing to pick them up.
