Kingdom Revival Brings Reformation - Ron McGatlin
The kingdom revival of God is burning away our religion. The entire world will eventually be affected by the mighty kingdom revival of God flowing His love and peace into a world of turmoil. The revival comes as great joy and blessing to the children of the revival. But the mighty force of the great kingdom revival will destroy the things of man that are against the ways of God.
Legalistic religious bondage cannot stand before the revival of God. Religion will not remain on the mountain of God but will be washed down the mountain and forever removed from the landscape. Great changes are occurring in our world. Kingdom revival is washing away the old and establishing the new ways of love and humility.
The church must be greatly reformed. This is not necessarily the will of man or the desire of many people, yet it is the work of God and must be brought about. The structures of denominations ruled by a hierarchy of men, and their many voices crying out from the wilderness are all coming to a close. The new order is coming forth which is not a new order at all but the fulfillment of the old order of the first century. It is the flow of God through His Spirit bringing forth the personality of Jesus in His Bride. It is the kingdom of God coming forth on earth and replacing the lukewarm church.
No longer will men capture and hold captive the souls of men and women by religious doctrines and practices.
It will no longer be possible for a church or a denomination to function as a separate isolated structure. All must begin to consider themselves a part of the whole Body of Christ and learn how to fit together in the new kingdom oriented order of God on earth.
Bold and earth shaking preaching and teaching must come forth from mighty apostles sent from God with the powerful message of reformation. Not only are walls coming down but also the foundations of great religious order will be destroyed as though they never were. The great rocks of man made doctrines were designed to produce separation and limit the power and freedom of Christ in man to bring forth the New Jerusalem, Kingdom of God lifestyle. These strong cornerstone rocks of church doctrine brought forth by perverted minds of men influenced by demons will be crushed into powder by the awesome truth of God flowing through His humble loving apostles of power.
These humble and bold apostles will not walk in the limited anointing of the past, or in the double portion of Elisha, but will walk in the unlimited anointing of Christ Jesus. These sent ones from God will not seek to please men or to fit into or under the established order of religion. But will come with great love and great care to establish truth and destroy the false doctrines and structures of the past.
They will make straight paths and pull down every high place and raise up the low places. There will be a highway in the wilderness desert for the pure hearted, evangelist, pastors and teachers to walk in. The children of this day will be wiser in the way of the Lord than the elders of the past. For the Word of the Lord will be pure in their sight and unclouded with the cast of religion nor tainted with the doctrines of selfish worldly desires.
The apostles of God esteem spiritual life to be precious and their own lives expendable in the great cause of God. They shall raise the dead trapped in religion and call down mountains of man’s authority with a word. These last apostles shall be first in the eyes of God and last in their own eyes. While the religious leaders of the old order who were first in their own eyes shall be last in the eyes of God.
The apostle’s doctrines of kingdom truth and order will be brought forth and received by many gifted pastors, evangelists, and teachers who will carry the word and practice of the kingdom of heaven way of life to the whole world. Every facet of life will eventually become ordered by the ways of God, as the will of God will be done in earth as it is in heaven.
The extreme time of change upon us has never before been and never again shall be. Everything that can be shaken will be shaken and the whole world shall tremble and every soul remaining alive shall be changed.
It is time to fear and tremble before the mighty hand of God coming forth to purify His children and redeem His earth. Seek Him in His mercy while He can be found.
