Many hunger, and many thirst in the church around the world, some don’t even know it, some have forgotten that they were hungry and thirsty. The Holy Spirit is calling and leading us into a time of great spiritual hunger and thirst. There will come great spiritual hunger and thirst first upon the church and then upon the world; this is all work of the Holy Spirit. –(Matt. 5:6)

Second, all believers need proper basic discipleship and then they can grow properly in Christ and their purpose in life. –(Heb. 6:1-2, Col. 2:6-7)

Third, all believers are to be equipped for the work of the ministry, spiritual leadership’s main function is to equip the believers for the work of the ministry. –(Eph. 4:12)

Looking for a Church

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Many of you from around the world, are looking for a church, yes many of you are faithful members of a church and above all the church. You are not alone, for the Lord Himself is seeking and waiting for a church. –(Zech. 4:6-10)

Just as Abraham was seeking and waiting for a city, which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Today churches have no foundations; the Lord wants churches to have foundations, congregations whose foundations are the apostles and prophets. The Lord wants congregations who are building by apostolic grace from Christ and are led by the Holy Spirit. –(Heb. 11:10,16)

First of all, the Holy Spirit will rise up the city church in many cities around the world; there is only one city church in each city, in every nation, that church is called the city church, the new apostolic city church shall arise under the leadership of apostles, there will be new apostolic city church networks, and there will be new apostolic city church centers, where there will be prayer, worship and prophetic watch, and ministry of church of the city will be centered and begin from this new center. This will be a new beginning, and a new level of city church, and some day we will have the mature city church, the end time church, which shall be full of glory, a glorious church. –(Rev. 21:2,9-10)

Second, the Holy Spirit will rise up the new apostolic congregation in many cities around the world, a congregation lead by apostles, a congregation with apostles, prophets, and teachers as the elders, a congregation where the foundation is the apostles and prophets, a congregation where the believers do the work of the ministry, a congregation where the spiritual leadership equips the believers for the work of the ministry, a congregation that fellowships and built relationships in their homes, and a congregation that flows in the gifts of the Spirit. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

Third, the Holy Spirit will rise up the new apostolic networks all over the world, networks of freedom and relationship that connects to one another building up the church around the world. –(Matt. 13:47)

Fourth, the Holy Spirit will raise the new apostolic church around the world in every city of every nation, and in every nation, and will fill the whole church around the world. –(Heb. 12:25-29)

Fifth, the Holy Spirit will raise up the marketplace church, which is the church in the marketplace; The marketplace church is the outreach of the city church, the new apostolic city church, the marketplace church is the outreach of the new apostolic congregation, and the marketplace church is the outreach of the new apostolic church around the world. The new apostolic marketplace church will arise as a force of change in the world around us. –(Rev. 5:10)

Furthermore, reformation, massive reformation is coming to the church around the world, the church in every city of every nation, and of every national church in every nation, revival, revivals and massive revivals is coming to the church in every city of every nation, is coming to every national church in every nation, revivals, massive revivals, and many revivals are coming to every city of every nation, and is coming to every nation around the world. Social transformation, many social transformations, massive social transformation, and waves of social transformation is coming to many cities and all cities in every nation, and is coming to many nations and all nations around the world. Harvest, many harvests, and massive harvests of the masses in many nations, and many cities around the world are coming and this is just the beginning of the Lord’s goodness and mercy. –(1 K. 18:41-46)

Personal Reformation

Personal Reformation

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Reformation has already begun; this is a time of reformation that has begun. This time of reformation will come to the whole church around the world. I see a vision of angels released in such as a time as this; they are flying over the church around the world, releasing reformation fires upon the church. –(Heb. 9:10)

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of reformation, and there is beginning an outpouring of the Spirit of reformation upon the Church, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Revival and there is coming great outpourings of revival upon the Church. Reformation is laying the foundations for revivals, massive revivals, habitational revival, lasting revivals, and the resting glory of the Lord. –(Jer. 1:10)

There are some who are crying reformation, who are shouting reformation, however they do not have Spirit of Reformation, for true reformation comes with love, grace, patience, and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. –(1 Cor.14: 26, Eph. 4:15)

As reformation comes to the Church on a corporate level, reformation will come on a personal level; from corporate reformation comes personal reformation to you and me. –(Isa. 1:16-20)

We are to pray for corporate reformation to come to the church, we are to be praying for massive corporate reformation to come to the city church, national church and the global church, and we are to pray for personal reformation to come to us. –(MK. 11:11-26)

Apply the process of personal reformation with these sample steps, personal reformation is renewing our minds, and our ways of faith in grace, and anointing. As we change our mindsets, renewing our minds and changing the ways of church on a personal level, we will see the fruits of reformation and the fries of reformation in our lives. –(Matt. 4:17,Rom. 12:2, Heb. 12:25-29)

Process of personal reformation:

· Pray for personal reformation, pray for grace of personal reformation, pray for the Spirit of reformation, and pray for your heart to be filled with love.
· Write down everything you know about church and the Christian life, then write down everything the Bible says about church, and about the Christian life, then repent for doing and being apart of those things that are not the church that are not the Christian life.
· Read, study, and meditate on the Scripture truths on reformation, pray for the Spirit of Wisdom and Spirit of Revelation, and ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and lead you in reformation and personal reformation.
· Read, study, and meditate on teaching and articles that have a nature of reformation, and that is reformation in nature and those on the reformation. Allow the Holy Spirit lead you and teach you, repent of those areas that you follow in faith that is not the ways of Christ for the Church and the Christian life.
· Begin to change the way you do Church, and the way you do Christian life.
· Seek to fellowship with those who are seeking the Lord for reformation and personal reformation.
· Speak love and understanding to those who disagree with you, and pray in love for them. Above all you can fellowship and should fellowship with believes based on the Cross of Christ first and foremost.
· Pray and find those spiritual leaders that are following the Lord in reformation.
· Pray for the fires of reformation to come upon your life, upon your mind and your heart.
· Begin to share the truths of reformation with others, in love and grace.
· Pray and ask the Lord to open your eyes to any demon that is in your life that is against the reformation, then pray, bind, cast out those evil spirits that are against reformation and break any soul ties with things, people, ideals, groups, that are against reformation. Pray for fires of reformation to burn those things away from your life.
· Be open to others about reformation, and reformation truth, all those in reformation may not agree on everything, but those things we agree upon we built upon, and show love and respect to those who teach reformation things that you disagree about, and built upon those things you agree upon, and above all fellowship is based upon the Cross of Christ.

As you enter into personal reformation be humble and have a listening ear to hear from the Holy Spirit and from others around you. Ask the Lord to guard the truths of reformation in your heart and lead you in the process of reformation. –(Gal. 3:1-9, 5:1,7-15)

Break up the Follow Ground

Break up the Follow Ground

Elvis Iverson

http://www.elvisiverson.com

I see a vision of angels coming and see pillars of fire and storms of fires, and wild fires coming with these angels, and these angels have rods and trumpets and they blow and say reformation, reformation, and reformation!

I see a vision of America and Europe and I see fires of reformation come forth from the hearts of reformers and the saints, and these fires of reformation flow like rushing rivers in the springtime throughout the church and the world.

I see a vision of seven lamps of burning fire, this first fire came reformation, the second fire came revival, the third fire came wealth revival, and the fourth fire came social transformation, the fifth fire came the healing of nations in restorations and progressions, the sixth fire came harvest, and the seventh fire came city church unity.

I hear the angels say break up the follow ground, before there could ever be harvest times, the ground must be dealt with through breaking up the follow ground, before there could be new harvest times, or harvest seasons, or harvest periods in history, there must be reformation, before greater harvest times can come.

The main events of human history begin with reformation and ends with harvest. New events always begin with reformation and end with harvest.

Break up the follow ground, reformation time is here, and seek the Lord, it is time to seek the Lord, outpouring of the Spirit of Supplication and the Spirit of Grace is upon us.

Sow for yourself righteousness, sow for yourself reformation, plant the seeds of reformation around the world, plant the seeds of reformation in your city, and plant the seeds of reformation in your nation, and plant the seeds of reformation in your heart.

Reap in mercy, revival is coming, revivals are coming, many revivals are coming, revival movements are coming, lasting revivals are coming, resting revivals are coming, and the revival life is coming!

It is time to seek the Lord! Until He comes and rains righteousness upon your cities and nations; He will bring social transformation, many social transformations, massive social transformation, and lasting social transformation, and the life of social transformation to the world.

· The Lord will bring to the church the reformation life!

· The Lord will bring to you the revival life!

· The Lord will bring to the world the social transformation life!

Can you not see the pattern being revealed today! –(Hosea 10:12)

1. Break up the follow ground, sow the seeds of righteousness: Reformation cometh!
2. Reap in mercy, seek the Lord: Revival cometh!
3. Rain righteousness: Social transformation cometh!
4. Continuum harvest life!

What will all these divine acts and faith acts do between reformation, revival and social transformation?

Harvest times, harvest times, harvest waves, massive harvest, rivers of harvest, continuum harvest, harvest of the messes, harvest of cities, harvest of nations, and Great Numbers Harvest!

The Vision of Reformation

The Vision of Reformation

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

We can foresee by the prophetic and by the Holy Scriptures with revelation seeing the vision of reformation, what kind of reformation that is coming, yes this reformation has already begun, it first begun as a lamb, soon it will become a lion and then it will become a horse, this reformation is a work of becoming pure gold, pearls, and precious stones. Reformation is a work of the holy fire of God from the Holy Spirit. –(Mal. 3:2-3, Matt. 3:8-12,1 Cor. 3:5-17,Heb. 12:25-29, Rev. 21:9-21, Rev. 3:14-22)

We have already entered into the Third reformation, this is called the new apostolic reformation, this is called the reformation of the church, the reformation of all of Christianity, and this is the great reformation. The face of the church will change in one generation. What we think is church will not be church, the church now and the church that is coming is a whole new picture of glory and unity. –(Heb. 9:10)

The reasons why we need reformation; we need reformation for unity to come more and mature unity to come, new wineskins that can connected and have unity and hold the new wines of the Spirit, and hold the power and glory of God, to lay foundation for the end time church, to lay the foundation for revivals and lasting revivals, to become more like the church that Jesus wants. –(Matt. 7:15-29)

Many Christians groups will come to an end, all denominations will come to an end, the apostolic church which, is the church of the third reformation will arise as a pillar of fire that will consume as a consuming fire the whole of Christianity and fill the church. The Church shall become the apostolic church, for the church is the apostolic church. –(Heb. 12:25-29)

The congregations and companies that pass through the fires of reformation will have unity and oneness among them. Reconciliation will come, then unity will come, and then we will enter into oneness. –(Eph. 2:19-22, 3:14-21, 4:13-16, 5:26-27)

Every one who names the name of Christ, every congregation that names the name of Christ, every group that names the name of Christ, and the whole church, and the whole of Christianity will be place and pass through the fires of reformation, many will be burn up, and there will be those who pass through and become more pure. These ones that pass through all the way shall fill the whole earth. –(Matt. 3:12,1 Cor. 3:11-15)

Reformation vision of laying the foundations of the apostles and prophets, arising up the new apostolic church, arising up the new apostolic city church, establishing the marketplace church, the church full of the gifts of the Spirit and all spiritual gifts. The believers will do the work of the ministry. An outpouring of signs, wonders, power of God, prophesy, visions and dreams, laying the foundation for revivals and lasting revivals. –(Phil. 4:9)

The bishops and administers will no longer lead the Church; instead Apostles and Prophets shall lead the Church. –(1 Cor. 12:28, Eph. 2:20, 3:5)

The Apostolic Church will fill the whole church around the world, and unity will come, and this unity will increase, and glory will increase, and harvests will increase, until the point of giving birth to the Kingdom Church, which is the mature City Church; the end times church of glory and holiness. –(Eph. 4:13,5:27)

There are five reformations of the church that the Lord as revealed to me; the first was the reformation of the New Testament Church, the second reformation was the Protestant Reformation, the Third Reformation is the New Apostolic Reformation, the fourth reformation is the Kingdom Church Reformation, and the fifth reformation of the Church is the Eternal Reformation. –(Amos 3:7-8, Prov. 29:18)

In the Third Reformation the Lord will set the church free from religion, free from the Christian religion, freedom from Christianity, the church will be free and become the Bride of Christ, and the city of God around the world, and reconnect, and realign to the Kingdom of God. –(Eccl. 7:8, Heb. 6:12)

The Church has been going through restoration; we are coming to the end of the restoration of the priesthood, the mark of this is the third reformation the great reformation of the church, the reformation of all things in the church. Just as the church when through restoration of all things in the church, now the church will enter into the reformation of all things in the church. This is the beginning of end of the restoration of the priesthood, and the beginning of the restoration of the kings of the Kingdom. –(Acts 3:19,21, Heb. 9:10)

Reformation has already begun, now it is time for you to have personal reformation. Take hold of the thesis of reformation, come to true repentance and renew your mind by the Holy Scriptures, prayer and the Holy Spirit. –(Matt. 3:1-12,4:16-17)

In this third reformation a greater outreach will be establish that will lead to the fulfillment of the great commission and massive social transformation. Among the congregations within a city is a greater outreach that only few can see this outreach, this outreach is the key to change our world. It is the key to the fulfillment of the great commission and massive social transformation; this outreach is called the workplace. –(Rev. 11:15)

The width of the Church is the Marketplace Church, the length of the church is the apostolic church, the depth of the church is the Koinonia Church, and the height of the church is the City Church. –(Eph. 3:14-21)

The outreach of the City Church is the workplace, is the church in the workplace. This is why there must be alliance between church apostles and marketplace apostles, or you can say workplace apostles, along with prophets. The leadership of the City Church is city apostles and among them are marketplace apostles that have been called to be city church apostles. –(Prov. 29:18)

The purpose of the Church is to be the bride of Christ, ambassadors of the Kingdom of God, and the Priesthood of the Kingdom of God, the church is the city built on the Great Mountain that is filling the whole earth, which is the Kingdom of God. The Church is limited within their giving purpose however the Kingdom of God is growing everywhere, is in your hearts, and is manifested through you. To move in the purposes of the Church you must be a priest, and to move in the Kingdom you must be a king. –(1 Pet. 2:5,9, Rev. 1:6, 5:10)

The five grace ministries of Christ are to equip the saints for the work the ministry, which is the priestly ministry of the church. The Apostles, both church apostles and marketplace apostles are to raise up believers to their calling in the Kingdom as kings. –(Eph. 4:12, Acts 6:1-8)

The Kingdom of God will come in Jerusalem, in Israel, in all cities and in all nations; this is a progress leading up to the return of Christ. The Kingdom of God has already came and begun to fill the earth since the day Jesus seated on His Throne right next to His Father. The Kingdom of God grows throughout the world in every nation and in every city, and the Kingdom of God will fill the whole earth. –(LK. 19:11-27, Dan. 2:34-35,44-45)

The End Times is a time of the glorious Church, fullness of the City Church, and beginning of the fullness of the Kingdom of God. These reasons are why the outreach of your congregation and the church of your city is the workplace. It is through the workplace the Kingdom of God will fill the Earth, As the Kingdom of God fills the Earth the Church will grow and increase more, but the Kingdom of God will be greater then the church. The Church is the heart of the Kingdom of God, and the believers in the workplace are the ones who will manifest the Kingdom of God and bring social transformation. –(Hab. 2:2-3)

The Holy Spirit is speaking to the Church; pray that you have ears to hear what He is saying; a hearing hear will lead to an overcoming life, and a hearing ear will lead to revelation faith. Hear the Holy Spirit speaking through prophets and apostles about reformation and revival in the church. The Holy Spirit is rising up apostles and prophets of reformation and revival; reformation will lay the foundation for revivals, lasting revivals and habitational revivals to come. –(Heb. 9:10)

Word revelation and prophetic revelation is coming through apostles and prophets to create environment for revivals, supernatural, gifts of the Spirit, power of God, manifestations of the Holy Spirit, manifest presence of God, and resting glory. –(Eph. 3:5)

God’s glory will fill the church then overflow into the nations of the earth, we who are apostles and prophets must hear from the Holy Spirit in how to build a wineskin, or you can say wine skins that can hold such glory that is coming, and yes His glory is truly coming, I have seen in visions and revelations. –(Ex 25:9, 1 Chron. 22:19, 28:11-12, 2 Chron. 3:1)

Today we have many congregations and many groups that deny the power of God; this is a doctrine of demons that they believe. These congregations and groups are no longer in the favor of God and have been mark for burning fire to come and burn them away. –(2 Tim. 3:5)

We need revelation and on going revelation and increasing revelation, and wisdom of God to build and prepare the way for glory and revival. We must be led through the Holy Spirit to build on the city church level, and on the congregation level; then is so much a divine need to pray, pray, pray for revelation and to pray for building and preparing of the Spirit for the coming revivals and glory. –(1 Cor. 2:6-16, 3:10)

Revivals will come to every city, every nation and to every place, revival will come the way of life for the church. The Christian life will be a life of revival, and a life of signs and wonders. The Holy Spirit is giving prophetic revelations and visions of the revivals and the glory that is coming. A vision for the church that will be filled with revivals and glory! –(Ezek. 1)

We by the grace of the Lord, through much prayer will create environment and reconstruction our spiritual houses, congregations and the city church in away for lasting revivals to rest and come upon. –(Amos 9:11-12)

Reformation is the fire of God burning all groups, congregations, churches, ministries, and every believer’s heart, and those ones that are more according to the ways of the Lord for they will too be place through the fires of reformation. Even as a believer you must pray for personal reformation, for corporate reformation to the whole church, and personal reformation will come to every believer. –(Acts 3:19)

Through revelation we can create environment for the power of God and signs and wonders. We are to witness and flow in the power of God every day of our life, can I have an amen to that brothers and sisters! –(MK. 16:17-18)

Helpful revelational and visionary ideals to create environment for the power of God: 1. Apostles and prophets are the foundation, senior leaders of the congregation, and the city church. 2. Create environment according to First Corinthians 12, 13, and 14. 3. The Church is to be multi ministry, body ministry. 4. The Church must be a house of prayer, worship and prophetic ministry. 5. The City Church centers must establish where there is 24/7 prayer, worship, and prophetic watch. 6. The saints must be equipped to walk in healing, signs and wonders and the power of God. 7. We must hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Prophets and pray for application of the prophetic words. –(Isa. 28:13)

The saints need to be equipped in the work of Ministry, gifts of the Spirit, healing, casting out demons, and prophetic gifting. All believers should flow in the power of God; flow in the supernatural, all believers should have Word revelation and prophetic revelation, all believers should flow in the gift of prophecy, visions and dreams, and signs and wonders. –(MK. 16:17-18, Jn. 14:12-14, Acts 2:17-18)

We must rise up within our cities and among our congregations healing ministries, and deliverance ministries. We must rise up supernatural teams they flow in spiritual gifting an extreme ways in faith and love. Those gifted in prophetic gifts, anointed in deliverance ministry, gifting in prayer ministry, and healing ministry in extreme ways need to be brought together in forming supernatural teams that minister in our congregations and cities under apostolic and prophetic oversight. –(1 Cor. 12:4-6)

The Power of God, signs and wonders and the Supernatural in the Holy Spirit will become every day life in the lives of ever believer that believes in the Power of God. –(1 Cor. 2:4-5)

Reformation, restoration, revival, repentance, reconciliation, regeneration, and redemption are all words meaning return, and to restore what was, however what the Holy Spirit is doing He is restoring the Church truly, and He is building the church to be even more greater then in the Book of Acts. –(Matt. 16:18)

Nevertheless, it is reformation, restoration to what God the Father sees, what Jesus Christ the Son of God, which is our Lord sees, and what the Holy Spirit sees, and their vision and plan for the church, so it is restoration, so it is reformation. –(Ex 25:9)

In this holy reformation there is coming revolution between God’s vision for the church and man’s vision for the church, between the old and the new, between the nature of man church and the supernatural church. This will be a revolution of grace, love, patience, and truth. This revolution is only apart in the process and progress of this holy reformation, which is the third reformation of the church. The follow chapter will be a reconstruction of the Church. –(Heb. 9:10)

Unfortunately, today’s church we only have the one-person man, is not the one new man ministry, instead this is the one rulership ministry of human wisdom. This begun through the deeds of Diotrephes, this is one of the elements of the apostasy church. There is no place in congregation environment where the senior leader was a pastor. Pastors are cell home leaders, they are not first in the order of church government. Pastors are apart of the ministry of the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. The congregation is lead by a team of elders with a leading elder leading them. This leading elder is an apostle. Pastoral epistles is not Pastoral Epistles instead they are Apostolic Epistles. Timothy and Titus are apostles not pastors. –(1 Thess. 2:6-11)

We must create environment in our congregations for the multi ministry, body ministry, spiritual gifts, prophetic ministry, and the supernatural. We can see this revelation in First Corinthians 12, 13, 14. We are to create this environment through teaching the Holy Scriptures, Word revelation, and prophetic revelation. The congregation must be environment for the supernatural, mentoring, fathering, rising, activation and maturating of spiritual gifts. The congregation must be environment for freedom, liberty, revival, supernatural, manifestation of the Holy Spirit and order; this order is laid down through revelation. –(1 Cor. 12, 13, 14)

Believers are called to be priests, the church is the priesthood of the Kingdom of God, and the saints are to be equipped for the work of the ministry. Every believer has a ministry; every believer has a spiritual gift, every believer has a function and a place in the congregation and the Body of Christ. –(Eph. 4:12, 1 Pet. 2:5, 9)

After a believer have been through discipleship, they are to be equipped and raised up in their spiritual gifts, they are to be place with others with same spiritual gifting in order to learn from one another, and they to be place with those who are more mature in the same gifting in order to mentor them. –(1 Jn. 2:12-14)

Apart from that, the apostles are to rise up the king for the Kingdom, every believer is called to be a king, every believer is called to the work of the Kingdom, and we need prophets to impart into the lives of the kings of the Kingdom of Christ. –(Rev. 1:6, 5:10, Acts 6:1-8)

The five ministries of Christ are to equip the saints for the work of the ministry, and apostles are rising up kings to change the world in the workplace and the marketplace. –(Eph. 4:11-12, Acts 6:1-8)

In the congregation we must raise up those with gifts of healing, working of miracles for the local congregational healing ministry, we are to rise up those anointed in deliverance for the local congregational deliverance ministry. We are to rise up intercessors for the local congregational prayer ministry, we are to raise up those anointed for evangelism for the local congregational evangelism ministry, etc. –(1 Pet. 4:7-11)

In additional, we are to train and mentor those called into the five ministries of grace, and we are train and rise up home cell leaders, etc. –(Matt. 4:19)

Some congregations may not have every kind of ministry, this could be an opportunity to lean on other congregations within your city, Christ is calling us to be one another congregations working and leaning on one another in Christ. One may be blessed with a healing ministry and the other with a deliverance ministry; one will lean on other congregation for healing ministry and the other will lean on another congregation for deliverance, etc. –(Phil. 2:1-11)

As we move to the next transition for the city church, some ministries will be place to minister at the city level, and for the service of the city church. Congregations will rise up ministries to minister and serve the city church and city. –(Gal. 5:13-14)

All believers should be equipped to pray, witness, cast out demons and heal the sick, and flow in prophecy, visions and dreams. –(MK. 16:17-18)

Moreover, there are those who will rise up in prophetic gifts and the gift of the prophet, they will be for the local congregational prophetic ministry. Season prophets, mature prophets and prophetic elders will lead and supervises the local congregational prophetic ministry and oversee the prophetic and supernatural manifestation of the whole congregation, and during corporate services. –(1 Cor. 14:26-33)

Apart from that, the city church will have a prophetic ministry, and there will be city church prophets that will minister at city church level. –(1 Cor. 12:4-6)

In addition, the local congregation leadership is first a team of elders, these are not only season ministers, instead they are mature ministers, and this team of elders is lead by an apostle. There could be more then two apostles serving with the team of elders and following the senior leader, the set apostle. The order among the elders is first apostles, second prophets, and the third teachers, and then others will follow. There is unity and openness among the elders. Within the congregation there may be other apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, and pastors. –(1 Cor. 12:28, Acts 13:1)

Above all the Holy Spirit wants the congregation to move into body ministry instead of a one-person rule ministry. Body ministry is a congregation becoming multi-ministry in the corporate anointing. –(Psa 133)

Reap the Whirlwinds

Reap the Whirlwinds

Many dead works and works of religion will reap the whirlwinds of reformation. Many have said in their own knowledge where is the reformation, where is this reformation that the prophets have said is coming?

The Holy Spirit is saying to you who say such these, when will you learn, when will you repent of testing the Lord. You who have hated the works of the Spirit shall be visited with the whirlwinds of reformation.

As the whirlwinds of reformation come upon the church in your city and in all cities and the churches in nations around the world, seek the Lord for personal reformation!

Do not be found without the fires of reformation in your heart! The fires of reformations are His grace to you, and His mercy is the revivals that are coming.

Many things will reap the whirlwinds of reformation in this time. These whirlwinds of reformation are making ways and pathways for his blessings, revelations from the Lord to flow, and revivals to come.

These whirlwinds of reformation will make a way for the works of the Spirit, and the apostolic works to be birth, establish, and grow and become fruitful in the land.
