The Lord recently, woke me up very early one morning. As soon as I woke up, I heard the Lord say, “Revival and reform.”
I then sensed strongly that God wanted to prepare each of His sons and daughters for the coming revival and reformation. Preparation will come as we each devote ourselves in this season to even more prayer and seeking the face of God.
Quality time spent in the presence of God will make us ready for what God is about to do. Before we experience the corporate revival, I believe personal revival will come first.
The revival that is coming will not look like what many have expected. God is about to do something in His people and in the earth as He has never done before. We must be ready for revival to come in ways we never expected. Revival means to be revived again. Reform means to be formed again. I believe God is sending revival to revive His people and He is sending reformation to reform us into the image of Christ.
I also believe that part of the reformation that is coming will be a greater promotion of many who carry a strong gift of teaching and anointing. In the upcoming seasons, God will highlight those that are equipped to train and teach the body of Christ. In this season of revival and reforming, God will bring a greater revelation to many believers of the authority and power that has been given to them. This greater revelation of authority and power will become a firm foundation for many to build upon and move forward confidently.
Why are revival and reform coming? I believe it is because when we experience revival, we become awakened. And awakened people are hungry for the things and the Word of God. When a remnant of people become awakened and hungry for the Word, we then see reformation take place. The power of God begins to be manifested and reformation takes down old religious systems and mindsets by replacing them with the moving of the Holy Spirit and the truth of God’s Word. Revival and reform come in order to set the people of God ablaze for the truth and power of the kingdom of God.
A powerful moving of God’s Spirit is about to sweep across America and the nations of the earth. The move of God that is coming will sweep more souls into the kingdom of God than we could have ever dreamed. A great harvest of lost and complacent people is coming.
However, I believe it will begin, and has begun by many experiencing personal revival first. Revival and reform begin first in the individual and then spread corporately and publicly. Get ready for what God is about to do; it will be more powerful than any move of God the world has ever seen! Revival and reform are on the horizon for the body of Christ; don’t miss it! {eoa}
