“Revival is coming, revival is coming!” are the words being spoken throughout the Church, for it has been proclaimed through My prophets that this spiritual enlivening shall indeed arise during this season.
But what most of My children have yet to recognize, is that when I decree an awakening within the Body, reformation is really My goal, because in order to operate with the new flow of the Spirit, the old ways of functioning as the Church must go.
At a time when the Church should be moving in unison with Holy Spirits’ prompting, the focus for most is still on reestablishing what was considered “normal” so that they can feel comfortable in their Christianity. Yet this is not how revival shall be ushered in. For the fresh wind of My Spirit will not revive those who have settled in with complacency, and are content to have an ease in their relationship with Me. And so, when He reaches out, those found with this disposition, sadly, won’t receive the fresh anointing He’s bringing to bless My children.
Therefore, the Church should not be craving “ease” right now, but instead must eagerly embrace what is uncomfortable. For within this space, the reformation of My Body can take shape. And though I desire all who encompass the Church to be partakers of the “new” I am doing, it is those who are the true ekklesia that shall know revival within.
It is up to My children to adjust their posture so they come into alignment with where I am leading, for to see My vision for the future of the Church come to pass, there had to be an operational shift, one that would break her free from the sluggish condition of complacency that most in the Body had grown accustomed to.
So then, dear children, do not resist what I am doing now among you. Close the doors to your large congregational gatherings, and resume in-home meetings (but not as just a smaller version of your typical Sunday services). Cast off the idea to mimic what used to be, and instead, allow Holy Spirit the room to lead as He decides. For again, during this season, I am redefining what it means to be the Church.
Do not be slaves to the conventionality of the past, but embrace the new way of being the Church, for this reformational process shall strengthen her overall structure. For when believers walk in their true identity, the gates of hell cannot prevail against them.
Then open your homes and be ready to receive your brethren, for this is where the reformation begins, opening the space for the winds of revival to blow in.
“For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.” Isaiah 57:15
