The LORD IS CALLING FOR REALIGNMENT: A New Season of Reformation ✨📖🔄
Recent data from Barna reveals a striking reality: over three-quarters of Christians sense a deep need for the church to realign with Jesus's original vision. Like the days of John the Baptist, there's a voice crying in the wilderness, "Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight" (Matthew 3:3).
We stand at a pivotal moment in church history, reminiscent of when Jesus spoke of new wine and new wineskins (Mark 2:22). The Master Vintner is preparing new wineskins – flexible, fresh structures that can contain the new move of His Spirit. Just as a wineskin must be supple to expand with the fermenting wine, today's church must be pliable in the Potter's hands.
This isn't about abandoning the old, but rather about restoration – like Nehemiah surveying Jerusalem's walls, we're examining what needs to be rebuilt and restored. The shaking we're experiencing isn't destruction; it's divine reconstruction. As Haggai prophesied, "I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come" (Haggai 2:7).
Consider the early rain and latter rain mentioned in Joel 2:23. The early church received the former rain at Pentecost, and now, God is preparing His people for an unprecedented latter rain of His Spirit. But first, like Elijah's servant, we must position ourselves to see the small cloud forming on the horizon (1 Kings 18:44).
This reformation isn't just about structural change – it's about heart transformation. Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, our hearts are burning within us as Jesus opens our understanding of the Scriptures in fresh ways (Luke 24:32).
The invitation is clear: Will you be part of this divine realignment? Will you allow God to reshape your understanding and expectations of what His church can be? The highways to Zion are being restored, and God is calling His people to journey together in this season of reformation.

Remember, every great revival in history was preceded by reform. As we yield to this divine recalibration, may we echo the words of Isaiah: "Here am I, Lord, send me" (Isaiah 6:8).
“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea" (Habakkuk 2:14)
