Reformation is being reformed to the Image of Christ, Revival is the manifested glory of Christ through the Church to the world, both revival and reformation is coming. Reformation will lay a foundation for lasting revival and the coming resting glory of Christ.
We are now living in the days of reformation! These are the days of Reformation! I believe these days will be at least 40 years. Reformation is a Divine Work of Grace in the church and in our hearts.
Since the days of Martin Luther, the reformer, the restoration of the Priesthood of Believers has begun and we are living in the days of the beginning of end of this restoration.
We are now living in the third reformation of the Church. I personal believe there will be five reformations of the church. The first reformation begun with Jesus unto the days of Paul and so on, this was the reformation from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant however, there were people who did not obey the holy winds of reformation. The second reformation was from Catholicism to Protestantism. Now we have come to the Third Reformation, the reformation of Christianity. The fourth reformation is the reformation from the local church to the City Church, and the fifth reformation will be from City Church to the Return of Christ and His Kingdom on Earth.
What are the Issues of this reformation? This is the reformation of Christianity. Every thing that is not of His Word, Nature, Will, Order will be burn up, and those things that are of His Word, Nature, Will, and Order will be put through the fire of reformation. Reformation is a Divine Work of Grace in the Church and in us. It must be done according to the Holy Spirit and not of human wisdom or human reasons. We must not preach by our wisdom, we must only preach by the Wisdom of God and the Power of the Holy Spirit. Yes we must speak in all authority, Holy Ghost Boldness, Truth, Holy Ghost Conviction, Confidence and at the same time speak the Truth in love, grace and mercy, with humility and meekness.
However, we can’t go around warring against the flesh and cutting of heads, arms and lags of the Body of Christ. This is the reformation of the Church not the destruction of the Body of Christ.
The Apostolic Church will mature in time and arise as a holy fire of reformation. The Lord’s hand is strong upon the Apostolic Church molding and forming into His Image. Very soon the fires of reformation will be set upon the Holy Altars of pure hearts and this fire will burn throughout the Church and Christianity. This reformation is a massive reformation; this reformation is the great reformation!
Once when this fire is set upon the altars of pure hearts this fire and grace will begin its work. There are seven stages; the first is the rooting out of certain doctrines and teachings, the second stage is to pulling down of the positions of power and authority, the third stage is to destroy the old buildings, the forth is to throw down any things that will try to come in doing this time to act like God’s will. The fifth stage is to build the new buildings and the Apostolic Church, the sixth is to plant new seeds, and now the seventh is the stages of unity and healing.
The Issues and Theses for the Reformation:
1. The beginning of the end of Christendom.
2. The beginning of the end of Religion in the Church.
3. The beginning of the end of Denominations.
4. The end of the Tithing System and the beginning of the Grace Giving System.
5. The end of the divisions between Clergy and Laypersons.
6. The end of One-man Pastors and beginning of Groups of Elders.
7. From Pastoral Authority to Apostolic Authority.
8. From one-man ministries to many Body Ministries.
9. From the Local Church mindsets to the City Church Mindsets.
10. From the Sunday Church only to the Everyday Church Life.
11. Instead of the Church Ministries only now there will be Marketplace Ministries.
12. From the Foundations of Traditions to a foundation of Living Apostles and Prophets.
These are just some of the Issues of the Reformation. Listen to this as in the last two reformations there were people that didn’t obey the Holy Winds of Reformations and there will be those who will not obey today. The question is are you going to obey the Holy Winds of Reformation?
