500 years of Reformation and it is time for a change

Today is October 31, 2017. 500 years since Luther became one of many catalysts of the Reformation. So many things have changed including the reasons for the 95 thesis. Many of his points are no longer points of contention.

What can be contended is the fighting that took place in the name of Christ and the sides that were drawn because all were claiming to be on Christ’s side. This has been just as much spiritual battle as it is a verbal battle and we need to choose to end the war and stop fanning the wrong flame.

I pray that the next 500 years will begin with a new reformation of the Church of Christ uniting. When this happens the Lord's prayer is fulfilled and His kingdom has come and His will is done on earth as is has always been in Heaven. When heaven and earth collide there is a spiritual awakening in our hearts as we unite with purpose.

God of Many names you are our sustainer and giver of life. Let us reflect this life in our neighborhoods, community and nation as we go to make disciples for your family. We declare this day that we will strive to be one, united with purpose to make your Great Name know to our generation as the God who can do all things and bring unity to your family.

One year later the honeymoon isn’t over

One year later the honeymoon isn’t over. I have seen heaven come to earth and I have seen Habakkuk 3:2 in my day. Lord, I have seen of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Thank you for repeating them in our day, in our time you have made them known; in wrath remember mercy.

The bride of Christ is looking more beautiful as each day passes. Miracles are a revealing of how God is showing up in our lives. The bushels are being broken and the light is flooding into the dark places of the heart and the world.

Not only do I see heaven coming to earth, but my children see this as normal. It thrills my soul to see all God is doing. It thrills my soul for my children to see miracles as normal and expect more radical miracles to happen. It thrills me to see the church is alive, brighter and flowing into what once was darkness. The part, if there could be one part, which thrills me the most is seeing this happening all over our city in many places by many people from many churches. United as the church of Christ. Many churches are working together to come up with a way to serve our city together! Praying for revival in our hearts and in the awaking of our land!

Habakkuk 3:2 Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.
