The Coming Revival
In the modern American Church, there is a growing concern among dedicated disciples of Jesus, His Spiritual Warriors. It is a concern rooted in the recognition that secularism has quietly infiltrated the very heart of our faith. The world’s spirit, disguised as modernity and progress, has seeped into our pews, subtly influencing our beliefs and practices. But there is hope on the horizon, a glimmer of light that promises a revival like no other.
The coming revival is not a mere wishful thinking; it is a prophetic call to action for all who long to see the Church restored to its true purpose. It is a call to expose the hidden influences of the world and to uncover the false teachings that have crept into our midst. It is a call to confront the pervasive grip of secularism and reclaim the undiluted message of the Gospel.
Revival, by definition, implies a restoration of something that has been lost or diminished. In the context of the modern American Church, revival means rediscovering the power and authority of God’s Word, unearthing the transformative message of salvation, and re-establishing the Church as a beacon of hope in a world desperate for truth and meaning.
To achieve this revival, we must first acknowledge the presence of secularism within our own ranks. We must recognize the subtle ways it has influenced our theology, diluted our worship, and compromised our commitment to biblical values. Only by exposing the spirit of the world can we begin to dismantle its stronghold on the modern American Church.
Moreover, we must courageously confront the false teachings that have infiltrated our congregations. From prosperity gospel to moral relativism, these erroneous doctrines have distorted the true essence of Christianity, leading many astray. By uncovering these false teachings, we can guide our fellow believers back to the solid foundation of God’s Word, restoring their faith in the one true Gospel.
But perhaps the most urgent task in this revival is to reveal the influence of secularism. Secularism, with its emphasis on self-gratification, materialism, and individualism, has seeped into the very fabric of our society. And sadly, it has not spared the Church. By exposing the ways in which secularism has compromised our values, we can reestablish a countercultural Christianity that stands against the tide of moral relativism and offers a compelling alternative to the emptiness of the world.
The coming revival is not a distant dream; it is a call to action for dedicated disciples of Jesus. It is a rallying cry to expose the spirit of the world, uncover false teachings, and reveal the influence of secularism in the modern American Church. As we embark on this journey, let us be bold in our pursuit of truth, unwavering in our commitment to the Gospel, and steadfast in our belief that the Church can once again shine brightly in a dark and secular world.
For the Remnant has received its orders from Holy Spirit, that the courts of Heaven have decreed, Now is the hour for the offensive move of the Remnant Army of the Lord. The trumpets of Heaven are sounding the alarm to send forth the Spiritual Warriors to seek out the spiritual strongholds the enemy has built within the cultures of this world that have been trojan horses, released their doctrines of deception into the Church, carried forth by human puppets of Hell.
Once these Spiritual Warriors of the Lord find them they are equipped with the power and authority of Heaven to use the the weapons of truth and love to dismantle these strongholds and release their captives. The hour of liberation is upon us, a supernatural spiritual reformation is about to unfold that the world hasn’t witnessed since the birth of the Ekklesia.
Below is the task that lies before the Remnant with the knowledge that the challenge is not above or beyond their ability, for the Lord has provided them with every spiritual weapon necessary to overcome the enemy along with the spiritual capability to win the victory. Holy Spirit has been clear in what the assignment is and has been ever so intentional as to what the spiritual strategic strategies are that they are to follow.
The Subtle Invasion of Secularism
In today’s modern American Church, there is a quiet and insidious invasion taking place. It is an invasion of secularism, a worldview that seeks to replace the authority of God with the wisdom of man. This invasion is not overt or obvious, but rather subtle and covert. It creeps into the hearts and minds of believers, slowly eroding their faith and diluting the power of the Gospel.
To the dedicated disciples of Jesus, it is crucial to be aware of this subtle invasion and to guard against its influence. Secularism is a spirit of the world that seeks to conform the Church to its values and beliefs. It disguises itself in various forms, often cloaked in the language of tolerance, progress, and intellectualism. But make no mistake, its ultimate goal is to chip away at the foundations of our faith and render the Church ineffective in its mission.
One of the ways secularism infiltrates the Church is through false teachings. These teachings may appear harmless on the surface, but they subtly distort the truth of God’s Word. They emphasize worldly values such as self-fulfillment, success, and material prosperity, while neglecting the true call of discipleship – taking up our cross and following Jesus. False teachings lead believers astray, focusing their attention on worldly pursuits rather than the eternal kingdom of God.
Another way secularism invades the modern American Church is through the influence of popular culture. The Church, in its desire to be relevant, often embraces the trends and values of the world. This compromises the purity and holiness of our faith. We see it in the music we sing, the movies we watch, and the books we read. The Church must be vigilant in discerning what is of God and what is of the world, for we cannot serve two masters.
Secularism also infiltrates the Church through a distorted understanding of grace. While grace is a beautiful and essential aspect of our faith, it should never be used as an excuse for compromise or complacency. Secularism twists grace into a license to indulge in sin, undermining the call to holy living and obedience to God’s commands.
As the Remnant of the Lord, operating in our abilities of spiritual discernment we must expose the spirit of the world hidden within the modern American Church. We must uncover false teachings and confront those who seek to dilute the truth of the Gospel. Let us be vigilant in revealing the influence of secularism and standing firm in the faith, for only then can we fulfill our mission to be salt and light in a dark and secular world.
The Dangers of Compromise
In today’s modern American Church, compromise has become an all-too-common occurrence. It is a subtle erosion of our faith, a dangerous path that leads us away from the truth and toward a watered-down version of Christianity. As the Kingdom’s Spiritual Warriors, commanded by Holy Spirit, we must be aware of the dangers that compromise presents and take a stand against it.
Compromise may seem harmless at first, as it often presents itself as a way to bridge the gap between the secular world and our faith. But make no mistake, this insidious spirit of compromise is nothing more than an attempt to dilute the power of the Gospel and conform it to the values of the world. It seeks to please man rather than please God.
One of the most significant dangers of compromise is the hidden infiltration of the spirit of the world within the modern American Church. As followers of Christ, we are called to be in the world but not of the world (John 17:16). Yet, compromise blurs the lines, making it difficult to distinguish between what is godly and what is worldly. It leads to a lukewarm faith, where we pick and choose which aspects of the Bible to follow based on our own desires and the ever-changing trends of society.
Furthermore, compromise allows false teachings to seep into the fabric of the Church. It opens the door for doctrines that are contrary to the Word of God, leading to confusion and deception among believers. We must be vigilant in uncovering these false teachings and standing firm on the unchanging truth of the Gospel. Without a solid foundation in God’s Word, we are susceptible to being led astray by the cunning lies of the enemy.
Perhaps one of the most alarming dangers of compromise is the influence of secularism within the modern American Church. Secularism seeks to remove God from every aspect of our lives, replacing Him with humanism, materialism, and moral relativism. When compromise takes hold, we unwittingly become vessels for secular ideologies, diluting the power of our faith and conforming to the world’s standards rather than God’s.
As dedicated Spiritual Warriors, as the Remnant of the Lord, must recognize the dangers of compromise and take a stand against it. We must be diligent in exposing the spirit of the world hidden within the modern American Church, uncovering false teachings, and revealing the influence of secularism. Let us not be swayed by the ever-changing tides of society but stand firm on the unchanging truth of God’s Word. Only then can we truly be a light in the darkness and effectively impact the world for Christ.
The Call to Discernment
In the modern American Church, a subtle but dangerous influence has taken hold – the grip of secularism. This insidious force has infiltrated the very core of our faith, leading many astray and compromising the integrity of the Church. It is a call to arms, a call to discernment, for dedicated disciples of Jesus to rise up and expose the spirit of the world hidden within our midst.
Secularism has blurred the lines between biblical truth and the values of society. It whispers enticing lies, tempting believers to compromise their convictions and conform to the ever-changing whims of culture. False teachings have seeped into our pulpits, disguised as progressive ideologies and watered-down messages. It is imperative that we uncover these falsehoods and reclaim the purity of the Gospel.
To answer this call, we must first understand the influence of secularism. It is a mindset that places human reason and desires above God’s Word. It exalts the individual and dismisses the authority of scripture. In doing so, it erodes the foundation of our faith and replaces it with moral relativism.
Discernment is the weapon we must wield against this encroaching darkness. We must diligently study the Word of God, immersing ourselves in its truth and allowing it to shape our thoughts and actions. We must be vigilant in recognizing false teachings and exposing them for what they are – distortions of God’s Word.
But discernment is not limited to knowledge alone. It requires a heart surrendered to God, a spirit that seeks His guidance and wisdom. It is a call to prayer, to seek the Holy Spirit’s leading in all aspects of our lives. Through prayer, we can discern the spirit of the world that seeks to infiltrate our churches and counteract it with the power of God’s truth.
As dedicated disciples of Jesus, we have a responsibility to stand against the influence of secularism in the modern American Church. We must be bold in our proclamation of the Gospel, unafraid to confront false teachings and expose the lies that threaten to dilute our faith. It is through discernment that we can reclaim the Church’s true identity as a beacon of light in a dark world.
The call to discernment is not an easy one, but it is a necessary one. It is a call to be vigilant, to be unwavering in our commitment to God’s Word. It is a call to expose the spirit of the world hidden within the modern American Church, to uncover false teachings, and to reveal the influence of secularism. Let us heed this call, for the sake of our faith and the future of the Church.
I will leave you with this prayer from the Apostle of Grace, Paul:
Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and charity unto all the saints, cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him; illuminating the eyes of your understanding, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. (Ephesians 1:15-18, Jubilee)
