Calvin, Luther, Wycliffe, Bunyan, Tyndale...men of great faith...or rather men who knew a great God and thus became great... men who understood the sacred call of God's church- no more hiding for them, it's time for His glory to be revealed in human society...

Oh God, would you give your Church today a double portion of the anointing on these people's lives... And cause us to feel and see your world and culture the same way as they did. God, Call us once again... for how can we preach if we have not been sent, God!

It's incredible, and yet strangely familiar, that the truth is- civilisation and history belongs to Him. And to be given an explanation of how language, technology and culture have all at one time or another been shaped by a love for the Word of God is simply mind-blowing... This is the power Jesus has given His true Church- the keys to the kingdom, to bind and to loose things from heaven to earth! This is the power that can change a city. Friends, let's not be ignorant anymore. Let's take off the blinds of pride and unbelief from our eyes and let the Spirit show us and empower us to live so that His kingdom can down here on earth.

When we think what we are supposed to accomplish, think Christ. Think of the word of God incarnated in a human body...And then think of the same word inside you and me this moment. As He is, we must be- in this world.

What does this mean? One, it means that we must reckon that "it is no longer I that lives, but Christ that lives in me"- so that we allow Christ to live through us. That is how we can then accomplish what that verse in 1 John says... "as He is, so are we in this world"- how do we know if this is how He would act in this world... unless He is living it through us? This means living a lifestyle of prayer... where our mind and spirit is constantly turned over to God, till they becomes possesed by His spirit... In order to do this, we must also realise that the word of God is not meant to be retained as good knowledge in our heads... it is actually like 'dynamite' that will explode somewhere deep in our spirits as soon as we hear it, and immediately provoke a change in any and all aspects of our lives. When we have that kind of expectation towards God's word, the word will (i.e. without exception) take on flesh. Meaning you will find yourself doing it, instead of just hearing it.

This is our finest hour...
