THE FIRE OF REVIVAL
5. REVIVAL BRINGS REFORMATION

In this wave of the Holy Spirit the Lord will cleanse, reform and restore the doctrine of the church. Jesus will show His power in the lives of those, who will purify themselves. The call of the Holy Spirit and the hunger of the manifestation of God's power will draw people in an easy and natural way out from confused religion. The theories and doctrines of men will collapse like card houses when the power of the Holy Spirit descends.

The compromise life will become shameful and filthy among the believers. The consecration to God will become so desirable that people renounce and leave willingly sinful practices. They will even ask from each other: "What more can I do to get closer to God?" The Fire of the Holy Spirit urges everyone to go deeper and higher in the Glory. It will become apparent who serves God and who does not.

The power, faith and capacity will be painfully lacking in the religious circles that do not want to embrace the Holy Spirit. The drought will shock many, because it will appear astonishingly quickly and painfully. The Lord will allow this in order to persuade the stubborn believers into the truth of the Word and the flow of the Holy Spirit.

You need to live in worldwide revelation of the Holy Spirit and in broad contact with the body of Christ in order to position yourself correctly. You need to know and touch the heart and mind of the Father God in order to minister according to His will. In order to get purified from sin you need to surrender into to the purifying fire of the Holy Spirit. In order to raise conviction in the heart of your neighbor you need to confront the destructive character of your own sins and let your flesh be burnt in the fire of God's altar.

Reject fabulous fantasies of easy revival, because the price of revival even in your own life will be higher than you have ever thought. Jesus calls you into deeper purification and humiliation than you would like in your own mind. The anointing of conviction must come upon you in a shocking way in order to produce the divine nature that has the true spirit of adoption, reverence and obedience before God.

God calls you to rise up into higher spiritual realms than you would never see possible for you. God is supernatural and He challenges His own people to overcome their own limitations in faith to God. Jesus calls His children to live in the supernatural dimension of faith. He wants to charge your spirit with enormous power in which you can reach out and accomplish with Him things that are impossible in natural realm. This is true life in faith of God, in His reign.

Jesus equips you for a great mission. It will be supernatural and your operation field will be very wide and manifold. You will succeed in your ministry with Jesus, because He will give you the equipment, power, wisdom and guidance.

The outpouring of the Holy Spirit causes a deep reformation of the Christian life. Some assume that because of His mercy God accepts confusion and deceitful doctrines and will send a revival without expecting a deeper change. Truth is this: although God reveals Himself in the midst of confusion and corruption He leads into purification and repentance from all unrighteousness and deception.

God hates sin and confusion but He loves all people and wants to deliver them from the darkness. Be prepared to renounce from all of your pet doctrines, sentimental beliefs and powerless traditions that are not in conformity with the Word of God!

Hebrews 12:25-29: See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns us from heaven. And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN.”…
… This expression, “Yet once more,” denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let’s show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire.
