Revival for Reformation

The day of Pentecost ignited a revival the likes of which the world had never seen. The early church was walled in on one side with the mightiest military machine in history, the power of Rome. It was walled in on the other side with Greek intellectualism. It was pressed against by the spirit of religion of the religious Jewish leaders.

Yet it was in the middle of these very circumstances that the great outpouring of the Holy Spirit birthed a revival in the upper room that led to 3,000 being added to the church in one day.

 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”” Acts of the Apostles 1:8 NLT

 Revival should always lead to reformation. We remove our lampshade during revival, then we go forth to the ends of the earth, with the unobstructed Light of the Kingdom of Heaven, to see Jesus get His full reward.
