Revival has a starting point and a stopping point. Transformation doesn't fall into the old form. I don't want to say we are looking for transformation. The kingdom of heaven does not come with close observation. Many expect a "move" of God, inferring that the responsibility is no longer ours, as believers. However, God has reconciled us back to the place where dominion is ours on the earth, to multiply what is godly and subdue what is evil. We are not looking for transformation... Rather, we are bringing transformation with Holy Spirit.
Let's go to square one for a moment. What does the transformation we are bringing supposed to look like? The answer: Heaven on earth. Heaven isn't gained by good sermons, programs, events, or cover dishes. Heaven is Jesus and Jesus is love. His love is transformation... totally supernatural, yet somehow tangible; tangible, yet supernatural. Transformation is a cycle of Christ’s love.
The Lord operates in cycles. The greatest commandment is a cycle. Love God. This is the source of all love because God is love. Then love your neighbors as yourself. It’s impossible to accomplish one without the other. You can’t give away what you don’t have. Edify yourself (by praying in tongues) and edify others (by prophesying). Cycles don’t end.
Transformation is heaven on earth, where the sick are healed, the dead are raised, people are liberated from the trauma of a past they don’t wish to remember, and where they are loved unconditionally with the everlasting, powerful love of Jesus.
