I’m writing a series on Radical Christianity, what it’s about, who it’s for, and what are the goals of the movement. Today we’re going to talk about the agenda. Why is it that we devote our lives to prayer, fasting, and radical consecration? As with any movement in the body of Christ, it’s difficult to generalize why a large group of people do what they do. I can, however, speak about the specific goals of our expression of radical faith here at the Revolution Brigade. We have several goals:
1) To draw near to the Lord. We love prayer and fasting here at the Revolution Brigade. We pray for revival. We fast for the Lord to raise up an army of young people who will be totally sold out for the cause. But, the revival is not the reward for prayer and fasting. The movement is not the reward. The reward is the intimacy with Jesus that we get from removing the barriers of the flesh from between us and Him. Revival and the Militant Faith Movement are just nice byproducts of our awesome relationship with Jesus. Radical Christianity is more about the King than it is about the Kingdom.
2) Raise a Prophetic Army. We believe that it is the Lord’s desire to raise an end-time prophetic army that will burn with a pure passion and devotion to His cause. We believe that this army of prayer warriors will be instrumental in ushering in the coming of Christ because of their fanatical devotion to the bridegroom God. We exist to recruit, train, and equip the forward-most elements of this army. Radical Christianity is about strapping on your combat boots and doing something for God.
3) Expeditionary Love. We eat, sleep, and breathe a love for the nations. We desire to see the knowledge of God’s glory fill the whole Earth, as the water covers the seas. We will get “expeditionary” in our love for the nations. In other words, we’ll go places and do things that will cause the nations to turn to Christ. We’re raising an Army. Armies fight. We will contend for the nations through crack squads of intercessory masters, raised up and equipped through the anointing of the Holy Spirit for world-changing prayer. Radical Christianity is about exporting God’s love to the entire world.
4) Awaken a sleeping generation. If the Revolution Brigade is the “spiritual special forces” of the coming Nazarite Army, then the rest of the generation will be the general infantry. We believe that this generation is the “valley of bones” spoken of in Ezekiel chapter 37, and we are prophesying to them to wake up, stand up, and receive flesh. The world sees dry bones, but we see an army. Radical Christianity is about seeing with the Lord’s eyes and believing in people.
You don’t know who you’re messing with. This thing is for real. The Militant Faith Movement is on the scene.
