Revival in our day... Reformation in our lifetime...

Death to Lukewarm Christianity!

Death to Lukewarm Christianity!


Millions of people saved and 200,000 released as long term missionaries into the nations! This is the word God has given to our Circuit Rider community, that another wave of revival is going to sweep through America. A massive harvest of souls unto the evangelization of the world! Revival unto the fulfillment of the great commission. Is it possible that the great commission can be fulfilled in our time? YES! Now as we receive this word we know that the revival that is going to take place in America and the nations is bigger than any one ministry, bigger than YWAM, bigger than any church. What God has been telling us is that it’s – “All hands on deck!” Meaning with this massive harvest of souls we need thousands of harvesters to be ready to disciple the multitudes that are coming!

 

This is the reason that we have been going to college campuses. In this urgent hour we must sound an alarm to these students, “Get Ready! A wave is coming bigger than ever before!”

 

Two weeks ago we were preparing for our trip to the east coast to circuit some Ivy League universities, the Lord spoke to us about going to Christian campuses instead. He said that He wanted to highlight to us groups of these Harvesters.

 

We toured to 3 Christian college campuses on the east coast. Here is a report from each of them:

 

REGENT:

 

Regent University is in Virginia Beach, VA and it is an amazing campus. The Lord spoke to us about sharing on the great commandment unto the great commission. From a place of laying down their lives in complete surrender, students’ hearts were stirred to see the fulfillment of the great commission! When our team had finished sharing, the group of 40+ students fell to their knees crying out to Jesus declaring that they completely surrender all and that Jesus is Lord of all! From that place we declared death to the “American dream” and death to lukewarm Christianity and a yes to the cost even if it means giving up our lives on the mission field! I’m telling you a radical cry is coming out of these campuses for all of God and nothing of self!

 

 

LIBERTY:

 

Liberty University is in Lynchburg, VA. Another amazing campus that has around 25,000 students! And is one of the leading prominent Christian campuses in America. Here we gathered at their prayer chapel and yet again shared on what revival culture looks like! We saw the same response of people coming forward, completely surrendering all for Jesus whatever it looked like! A girl walked in with crutches and walked out completely healed! People got free from even hurts and pains that had tormented them their whole lives, all from just simply declaring the gospel and the good news of Jesus!

 

 

 

LEE:

 

Lee University is in Cleveland, TN. One of our good friends from this campus did the Circuit Rider School with us in Kona. There is so much to say about Lee but let’s just say it’s a campus that has cultivated the Presence of God and is ripe to send out many missionaries into the world! Here we had the opportunity to share with around 30+ of their student leaders about how to share the gospel with the lost. We also broke any fear that would hinder us to step into wild fire-breathing evangelism that we are all called to operate in! After this we had another wild gathering where we called these students from the urgency of the hour into complete surrender. Also, if we know revival is coming what is the best way to prepare? Here again, as in the last two campuses people declared the death to lukewarm Christianity and from love they will go anywhere and do anything for His glory!

 

I tell you! The Harvesters are coming!! We must prepare! It is URGENT!

 

I close with this. If your neighbor’s house was burning down would you not shout, go crazy, anything to get his attention if he was asleep in that same house?! Yet I tell you this is happening to our nation and even churches across America! We have the ability to put out the fire but we must not sleep through it or it will reap destruction greater than we can even imagine! Oh, but hear the sound of the New Breed rising up ready to stand! Ready to see revival and reformation in our nation, killing lukewarm Christianity and ready to give it all for Jesus! I tell you we live in unprecedented days, times that even the prophets desired to live in! What an opportunity! Seize every moment because before we know it we will be in the midst of revival!

 

Prepare generation! Here comes the wave!!!

 

FUEGO


Sacrifice

Sacrifice

Sacrifice

I believe one thing that will mark this generation is Sacrifice! Imagine a generation that doesn’t grumble or complain that they have to give up this “movie” or that “music” but a generation that will say to God, “Jesus have your way! Let my life be marked by sacrifice to you!” A generation that will say, “To You be the glory Father, I joyfully sacrifice all because in reality there is no cost only gain!”

As I sit in Starbucks waiting for my ride to come sipping on some Iced Coffee, listening to the IHOP-KC web-stream and ponder the deep things of God I can’t get away from the reality of sacrifice. I believe it is one of the key ingredients for the new breed!  One of the greatest attacks against the Western world, especially this generation is humanism! Even in preaching the gospel there can be a humanistic spirit that creeps in that puts man in the center and not God!

 

Anything that isn’t God centered is humanistic in nature and must be dealt with, because it takes glory away from God! Our message isn’t man + God but its to deny self take up your cross and follow the man Jesus Christ! 

 

I believe one of the greatest ways to combat this demonic stronghold is to joyfully sacrifice to God! Many times we hear of sacrifice and we think of pain or giving up things you like, yet you give it up anyways. In reality we are really looking at that from a selfish perspective. Instead of gazing at the beauty of Jesus and declaring that there is not even a comparison in giving up the worldly passions, which lead to death and gaining the uncreated One which leads to life!

2 Scriptures I want to look at:

1. Genesis 22:1-3a

v. 1″ Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!”

And he said, “Here I am.”

2 Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”

3 So Abraham rose early in the morning”

 

  • The Key thing about this passage is that God asked Abraham to kill his promise; to sacrifice. Now Isaac wasn’t even a thing of compromise but a gift from God. Yet God still called him to give it up. There are things we are going to have to lay down and sacrifice that may even be good, yet God wants to see what is our focus.Is it Him or is it our dreams and desires? There may be times we sacrifice things that we never pick up as well as things we lay down God gives back to us, but the true question is:

 

 

IS HE WORTH IT ALL?

2. Phil 3:8

“Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ”

 

Here Paul went into many things that would be highly esteemed in their day, yet he declares that he counts all things as rubbish that he main gain Christ! I believe that God is giving this generation a grace to step into this same heart and lifestyle posture. A generation that will say I count all things as trash to gain Jesus and see the fulfillment of the great commission!

 

Let our questions to the Lord be,

 

Father what can I sacrifice to you?

Let our declarations be those of radical sacrifice to the One who gave it all! 

 

In closing I leave you with this,

Heros of the faith are those who sacrificed it all and kept going until they ran the race and kept the faith! Let a generation arise who desires their Maker and will be the offering to sacrifice to the Lord. 

 

John Wesley said this famous saying, “Set yourself on fire and people will come and watch you burn!” When there is fire there is smoke! Be a sign to this generation let us Joyfully sacrifice everything that we may gain Christ

 

May the Lamb receive the reward of His sufferings

The Sound of Revolution

The Sound of Revolution

There is a sound that is awakening the sleeper, there is a sound that is resonating around the earth.

This is the sound of REVOLUTION! Not just a sound that lasts for a few days or weeks but a sound that releases reformation. This is what God has been speaking to me about, a sound that wherever it goes it will change the atmosphere, from college campuses to churches; from entertainment industries to businesses, nothing can hide from this sound!

These past few months have been such a journey with the Lord in my life. I went from getting ready to lead a community that would target on the Ivy Leagues to see revival and reformation, to moving to Orange County for the rest of the year. Its been a year of shifting and laying down my entitlements so that whatever He speaks I can say Yes and Amen! What the Lord has been doing with me hasn’t hindered anything He gave me from before but has expanded my capacity to lead! As I follow Jesus simply my obedience is truly changing history. I have been able to encourage both the OC community, the Harrisburg community as well as many others with this message of the sound that God is releasing! In laying these things down Jesus has strengthened me to carry more than before and truly get perspective on what He is desiring to see in this nation and the nations of the earth.

Now, my question for the Lord has been this -

What is this sound?

This sound of revolution carries an urgency in it! It’s a sound that will prepare the way of the Lord. It will release power to see a greater breakthrough in healing! This sound is the simple gospel that will harvest millions of souls into the Kingdom, this sound will give hope to the hopeless and bring a true reformation to this nation and the nations of the earth. It all starts with our simple obedience. I believe that God is preparing myself as well as countless others for the greatest harvest we have ever seen! It all starts with stepping out in child-like faith, going to college campuses, pressing in for the sick to be healed and being willing to be used by God whatever the cost! Even in times of the wilderness and dry land wether that is in our life or our nation this sound can turn it around! What is this sound? This is the sound of Jesus coming for His Beloved ones!

Psalm 107:35 

“He turns a wilderness into pools of water, and dry land into watersprings.” 

Release the Sound! Its time for a Revolution!
