A Word About “Revolution”
On April - 16 - 2010
This is a slightly modified excerpt from my book entitled “Welcome to the War:”
I hear a lot of people talking about revolution these days. Usually, I hear it in a context similar to the following:
“We don’t need religion, we need revolution.”
If by revolution you mean a rapid change to a new perspective on life in the Spirit, then I whole heartedly agree with the sentiment. If you mean a radical consecration that the world doesn’t know how to cope with, then we are in kindred spirit. If you mean open rebellion against the Christian establishment, then I’m afraid we are no longer in agreement.
Consider the following: The prayer movement is loosely patterned after the tabernacle of David. You can’t go ten days without hearing a sermon on the Tabernacle of David, or a reference to it, or an illustration about it. That’s cool. I understand the theology around it. But, did you know that David, while worshipping love-sick in the Tabernacle of David, never removed the priests from their divine duties at the tabernacle of the congregation in Gibeon (See 2 Chronicles 1)? In fact, he sent the high priest Zadok to Gibeon (1 Chronicles 16:39) where the Tabernacle of the Congregation was.
