Radical Disciples – A Remnant Revolution

                                                    I read this from a man who was seeking a position in ministry:

I don’t want to sound negative here but you guys must be living in a different world than me. I am trying to get a job in the ministry and no one will hire me because I can’t and don’t want to disciple people…….Think about it, when I was growing up in the 60’s and 70’s we had Sunday school and worship. There were no groups or special programs yet people were more devoted than they are now.

My response to him was:

In response to your post –

Discipleship is the very core of following Jesus – In fact Jesus gave a command that was issued to His disciples standing before Him and unto every disciple after them until His return – “Go into every Nation…… and make disciples……”

The fact that all that happened in the 60’s, 70″ and 80’s was Sunday school and Church is what has left us with the generation we are dealing with now. Yes, they may have been more dedicated to “their Church” but they greatly lacked in being dedicated to the advancing the Kingdom. It was during that time that eastern teachings crept into the Church, self-help books where starting to be written, a generation of “spiritual consumers” were being raised up to consume everything at the alter but share it with none, like a plague of locust they sought to eat up everything in their path in the sphere of the spiritual which truthfully caused more spiritual damage and droughts that anything good..

Not, all Christians or Churches where that way but the majority them were and enough to allow the enemy a greater entrance in our society. I know, for I come from that generation being born in the early 60″, the generation that slept or was too busy indulging themselves at spiritual shmorgishborgs of self-realization while abortion was legalized and the Bible & prayer in schools were outlawed. When liberalism began to rewrite our schools text books and nothing was said or done. We can blame the present spiritual atmosphere of the Church and this nation on Satan all we want but the reality is the watchmen of the previous generation were too busy about their own business rather than that of the Fathers. O’ there where some who cried out the warnings but like Israel of Old the people silenced them and sought a good word even if it was from a false prophet.

Father, awaken Your Bride that she be not found asleep and guilty of losing another generation.

The failure of one generation carries over into the next, the same as the blessings of one generation can carry over. That was a season of bless me, bless me Lord, whereas a true Kingdom identified generation will not seek selfishly after the blessing of the Lord, they will, with a great depth of hunger, cry out asking the Father to allow them to be a blessing unto Him.

Let us who are alive today in this generation of the Lord seek to be His blessing which covers the earth.
