Morning by Morning, February 27 - Jesus Revolution Good morning, Lord Jesus. I’m hungry for You and more of Your Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). ... After church yesterday, my wife and I went to see the release of the new movie Jesus Revolution, about the birthing of the Jesus Movement of the ‘70s. It’s based on the true story of a true revolution that made us laugh and cry and applaud out-loud with everyone else in the theater at the end. And as I rise and get into my prayer chair to begin my day with You today, Your Spirit is reminding me of another revolution from the Book of Acts: “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too!” (Acts 17:6) And Your Spirit is stirring in me Your desire for another revolution in our day. Come, Holy Spirit. Turn my world upside down and inside out until “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ!” (Revelation 11:15) Come set things right again -- in our hearts, in our communities, even in our churches, and across this land and to the ends of earth. “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and truth go before Your face” (Psalm 89:14). Like the ‘70s, many are searching for the truth today in a world of confusion and deception. Many are searching for what is real and genuine, authentic and true, in a world of chaos and counterfeits, filled with fakes and phonies. Like in the 70’s, the world is ripe for another revolution, another Jesus Revolution! We’re hungry and thirsty for the Presence of God to come fill our hearts and turn our world upside down again. And from the outbreaks of revival, from the stirrings of awakening already breaking out before our eyes and in our hearts, that revolution of revival is already here and growing stronger by the day! As You declared during the Jesus Revolution of Your day, when Your Light stepped down into the darkness of our world to turn the Roman world upside down and the Jewish world upside and the Gentile world upside down with Your Words of Spirit and Life and Truth, “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matthew 11:12). That’s not a violence of division and strife grounded in hatred and evil, lawlessness and sin, confusion and chaos. It’s a violence of love that conquers all (1 Corinthians 13:8). It’s a violence of love that unrelenting and everlasting (Lamentations 3:22). It’s a violence of love that’s unafraid to stand up and speak the truth even when it costs you something (Ephesians 4:15). It’s a violence of love that will keep reaching out to every heart, keep speaking up of the One who is the Truth, keep burning with Holy Fire to set hearts ablaze with a renewed and revived passion for God, turning this world upside down until every knee bows and every tongue confesses that “Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father!” (Philippians 2:9) Come, Lord Jesus. Start Your revolution in me! The final Chapter of the final Book of the Bible expresses this hope and battle cry of this Jesus Revolution like this: “The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come!’ And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely!” (Revelation 22:17) As the Leader of this revolution, as the conquering King of this cultural war that been raging since the nearly the beginning of time, You declare to us and encourage us: “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and End, the First and the Last” (Revelation 22:12) And as the final Words of Your final Book decrees: “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Surely I am coming quickly.’ Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with (us) all. Amen!” (Revelation 22:20-21) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
