Approaching God One Thought At A Time

Are the things you are living for worth Christ dying for?

Radical Discipleship

For those honestly concerned enough to admit the full impact of modern life on Christianity the haunting question of "what are you willing to do about it" continually presents itself. All the more so when our efforts to casually or even diligently seek and serve God seem to fall short.

When personal and corporate prayer goes largely unanswered. When family and friends find living faith unreasonable. When Omnity's apparent silence and distance engenders doubts as to God's goodness or even existence. When loss and loneliness threaten to overcome. When pain and death demand answers to life's ultimate questions... How then shall we live? Scripture's answer is to become even more radically committed to the costly gospel and cross of Christ. But what happens when the prescription appears more daunting than the disease?


And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.

- Luke 9:23 ESV



For centuries, if not millennia, Christian people groups esteemed pursuing and pleasing God. Today there are a thousand reasons why modern society shuns the concept of even partial, much less full commitment to discipleship. Overflowing with technological and scientific breakthroughs, conveniences and amusements, most find the cost too high (and the earthly payoff too low). Understandably, those of us blessed enough to escape poverty and war and enjoy the opulence and the wealth of the developed world have become addicted to ease and pleasure and repelled by difficulty and pain.

The same mindset has incrementally and relentlessly infiltrated and inundated modern Christianity reducing our once radical and robust religion to a kind of safe and sane offshoot sometimes called Churchianity.

While most believers today talk and sing a good story, tracking our time much less behavior reveals the sad fact that ninety percent or more are practical agnostics. Having embraced cultural Me-ism, the action and inaction of most reveal a mindset that diligently seeking God is less than worth genuine effort. Augmented by a spectrum of honest to disingenuous doubts and issues with God, reinforced by pop theology supporting a misunderstanding of unconditional love and acceptance, the original sin of entitlement has become all but ubiquitous. Sadly, doctrinal errors so abound within the belief system of many formerly Christian nations and institutions that the introduction of a new Biblical commentary is crucial for any hope of promoting even basic discipleship. All this in light of the Bible's inconceivable gracious offer of a Divine exchange rate of our all for God's, as has been noted "he is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot loose."

Another stumbling block to believers personally and/or corporately seriously striving for complete obedience to God in preparation and hope of receiving far greater fullness and empowering of the Holy Spirit is a growing Biblical illiteracy regarding righteousness in general, triune righteousness and levels of righteousness. This doctrinal rift may be so prevalent as to cause most of even the best of Churchianity to make the costly error of drawing near to God more with our lips than heart, being "at peace in Zion" and preaching "peace peace when there is no peace."

By definition "Radical" discipleship implies a depth of wisdom and understanding, zeal and obedience transcending the norm. Beyond repentance and salvation. Beyond intercession and study. Beyond activism and insight, there lies the largely undiscovered country of full sanctification and costly commitment to the cause and person of Christ.

So what components might comprise a more complete commitment? While many of Christendom's greats have weighed in on the subject, perhaps none has done so as skillfully and succinctly as Evan Roberts, recognized leader of the 1904 Welsh Revival. During a revival that would see 100,000 converts in a matter of months, Evan Robert codified the following simple yet insightful directives:

1. You must confess any known sin to God and put any wrong done to others right.

2. Second, you must put away any doubtful habit.

3. Third, you must obey the Spirit promptly.

4. You must confess your faith in Christ publicly.

While the above short list may seem unremarkable, full compliance of these four steps is actually anything but. Let us briefly consider each in their order:

1. Confess any known sin to God and put any wrong done to others right: The first half of this directive might appear easy enough if teachings on Biblical repentance hadn’t fallen out of style. Further complicating matters is the unfortunate truism that many sins of omission and commission are so dear as to all but escape detection? This is particularly true when having little or no intention, much less success in giving them up. This directive presupposes responsibility to “inform our soul” as to past failures that have grieved the Spirit and wounded others. For Cliff Notes see Charles Finney and Keith Green’s two page how to list entitled “Breaking Up The Fallow Ground.”

The second component of this command mirror's Christ's insistence on developing and safeguarding faithful and loving relationship's with each other, as seen in Jesus' insistence on forgiveness and restoring relationships. Yet it has been noted that rather decreasing in membership, churches would be overflowing if attendees were to apologize and make restitution to offended members having left the congregation. A mistake indeed given Jesus’ warning to present our gifts to God only after restoring fractured relationships.

2. Put away any doubtful habit: Given mankind's intrinsic and infamous dualistic nature, collectively and as individuals we simultaneously embrace and are vexed by double-mindedness. Paul treaties on such a piteous state in Romans 7 makes the point beautifully. Without a personal and extensive kingdom transformation, we find ourselves like Peter in his confession of Christ "in the Spirit" one minute only to be in "the flesh" or worse in the next. Given modern society's insatiable pursuit of happiness and diversions, step two may prove to be the most problematic of the four.

3. Obey the Spirit promptly: Many modern believers, particularly of the evangelical and/or charismatic persuasion, feel confident of their sensitivity to the leading of the Spirit. Citing weekly or sometimes daily devotions and worship, subjective spiritual feelings and impressions, tens if not hundreds of millions assure themselves and one another of God's acceptance and salvation. The question is to what degree is such confidence an act of faith or presumption? A question all the more relevant given societies free fall from grace into temptation and deception, sin and immorality of every kind. This while Churchianity, claiming and called to be the salt and light of the world, offers little or no tactical guidance or resistance through prayer or activism. When it comes to the clashes between the kingdoms of darkness and light, it’s one thing to fight and fail and quite another to fail to fight.

4. Confess your faith in Christ publicly: Here again millions feel satisfied with mostly infrequent efforts to share their faith, even with little or nothing to show from it. Rather than allowing themselves to be troubled, travailing in prayer until Christ be formed in the lives and lifestyles of family and friends, neighbors and even enemies, most choose to presume that all is and will be well.

More unfortunate still, there is a notable difference in casual and militant evangelism and discipleship as explained by the Protestant reformer Martin Luther: “If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Wherever the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved and to be steady on all the battlefield besides is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that one point.” Careful consideration should be given to the likelihood of Christ's judgment by such a principal when applied to Churchianity's underwhelming response to any number of spiritual and/or social ills, from poverty to abortion.

Even a summary of Evan Robert's four conditions for genuine Christian discipleship appears daunting. So much so that throughout the modern world, even among those considering themselves Christ's most ardent followers, there’s often a disconnect between this level of Christianity and that which nearly the entire church is comprised. Such being the case it would seem wise to identify the levels from casual belief to radical discipleship as well as postulate the most direct route of growing down into the maturity so few have realized. One version of a graphic representation of descending levels of righteousness would be:


Stacks Image 664


The above graphic represents a decent into holiness described more thoroughly in our article entitled "Levels of Righteousness." Suffice it to say that only by emptying oneself can deeper levels of discipleship be developed. John the Baptist recognized the need to decrease that Christ might increase. A principal reinforced by Paul's illustrious resume and eloquently expressed to his beloved Corinthians:


  • "For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings. We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored! To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless. We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it; when we are slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage of the world—right up to this moment. I am writing this not to shame you but to warn you as my dear children. Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. Therefore I urge you to imitate me. For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church." 1 Corinthians 4:14-17 NIV

  • “ I’ve worked much harder, been jailed more often, beaten up more times than I can count, and at death’s door time after time. I’ve been flogged five times with the Jews’ thirty-nine lashes, beaten by Roman rods three times, pummeled with rocks once. I’ve been shipwrecked three times, and immersed in the open sea for a night and a day. In hard traveling year in and year out, I’ve had to ford rivers, fend off robbers, struggle with friends, struggle with foes. I’ve been at risk in the city, at risk in the country, endangered by desert sun and sea storm, and betrayed by those I thought were my brothers. I’ve known drudgery and hard labor, many a long and lonely night without sleep, many a missed meal, blasted by the cold, naked to the weather. And that’s not the half of it, when you throw in the daily pressures and anxieties of all the churches. When someone gets to the end of his rope, I feel the desperation in my bones. When someone is duped into sin, an angry fire burns in my gut.” 2 Corinthians 11:23-27 MSG

Paul also explains that for humility sake he was given a “messenger of Satan” to appose him:


  • “Because of the extravagance of those revelations, and so I wouldn’t get a big head, I was given the gift of a handicap to keep me in constant touch with my limitations. Satan’s angel did his best to get me down; what he in fact did was push me to my knees. No danger then of walking around high and mighty! At first I didn’t think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that, and then he told me, My grace is enough; it’s all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 MSG

This raises a few questions, for Paul and all would be radical disciples:

1. Apposition: To whom or what is Paul primarily referring? While opinions vary, the preponderance of evidence would suggest the afore mentioned trials. While his fellow Jews, for whom he would have exchanged his soul, were the principal instrument of Paul’s suffering, he explains that behind the scenes it was against satanic forces that he and all believers struggle.

2. Source: From whom was this “gift” sent? God? Satan? God’s people the Jews? All three? Note: Often when Scripture is silent on particulars it’s because they don’t impact the principal being discussed.

3. Outcome: Paul was the “chief of sinners” for having participated in and even orchestrated the persecution and martyrdom of christians. He was also the recipient of such grace and apostleship as to allow him to “labor harder than all the rest.” Ultimately, whatever the source(s), the relentless albeit commensurate push back over Paul’s exceeding revelations and subsequent spiritual effectiveness served to forward his God given agenda. His eventual imprisionment proved a catalyst for more New Testament epistles than any other author. No to mention Paul well instrumental in opening the Kingdom of God to the Gentiles for the past 2,000 years!

4. Relevance: This and a myriad of other Biblical examples illustrate the point that in all conflicts, spiritual and otherwise, there is a price to be paid. While Churchianity preaches only the cross of Christ, if that, Scripture reinforces the synergy between His cross and our own. Rather than being promised a rose garden, radical disciples are assured that even when beaten with thorns, “all things work together for the good of those who love God are called according to His purpose.”

Unfortunately, the vast majority of modern Christians show little or no interest in the rigors of radical discipleship, Prophetic Christians recognize our desperate need for not only individual and corporate renewal and revival if not reformation. These understand Biblical hope requires honesty enough to admit the true extent of our need in light of the Bible’s guidelines for benefiting from God’s supply. They also daily confess any lack of discipline in regards to doubtful habits and/or besetting sins short-circuiting their work and prayers to more fully experience the power of God.

Having illustrated the crucial role of the grace of diminishment, another helpful example is that of various levels of response to the gospel by individuals and society. It’s been noted “We are all telling ourselves a story.” The following graphic emphasizes that knowingly or not, all who have heard the story and claims of Christ are somewhere to be found on the continuum from inappropriate to appropriate response:

Stacks Image 668


Paul directs, “For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. In keeping with this sentiment and several of the points mentioned above, we should again hear Paul’s warning, “Be honest in your estimate of yourselves, measuring your value by how much faith God has given you.”

Such honest estimation might begin with prayer. Serious prayer is more a process than event. An all important journey towards spiritual sensitivity and practice, honesty and discernment with the hope of enabling the dedicated to genuinely learn to pray so God will hear.

Progressing along the path of regular and lengthly prayer is a true reflection of compassion and care, exemplified by the level of our diligent and appropriate response:

1. Wishful Thinking: This introductory style of prayer is largely spontaneous and often unspoken. It knows little of Scripture or spiritual experience. Disappointment in this arena accounts for billions prematurely deciding Biblical authority and faith is unreasonable thus marking both the beginning and end of their pursuit of answering life’s ultimate questions.

2. Prayer On the Go: The next incremental investment for most of Churchianity might loosely be described as “phoning it in.” Nearly synonymous with “windshield time” it’s basically little more than wishful thinking expressed in few words.

3. Stopping For Prayer: Hundreds of millions recognize the need to at least treat God with the respect of a stranger. Rather than daydreaming on the run, these pause for at least a moment now and then, pitching a prayer heavenward hoping it will stick. Unfortunately, this may exceed the commitment level of the average modern Christian.

4. Attaching A Scripture: Those interested enough to admit steps 1-3 rarely work often try increasing their odds by adding a “cherry picked” Bible promise. Unfortunately the vast majority of Christians are not only basically prayerless (stopping to pray less than 5-10 minutes a day) but Biblically illiterate (unable to quote, much less accurately understand and apply even 5-10 verses in a row). Overwhelmingly, most adding a Scriptural promise to ill informed prayers do so with little or no concern as to the corresponding conditions of such passages.

5. Occasional Intercession: The next common waypoint along the path of developing a committed prayer life is the occasional investment of 30 minutes or so practicing the art of intercession. When answers are more miss than hit, believers are left with 3 options. (1) Give up. Some go so far as to create mistaken doctrines like “cessation” to justify spiritual failures. (2) Pretend. The favored choice of hundreds of millions, charismatic or not. (3) Seek God’s face through the study of Scripture as exemplified in step #3 of God’s true 4 spiritual laws.

6. If My People: God’s perfect plan for repentance is found in 2 Chronicles 7:14. Those putting this simple algebraic formula into practice soon develop the spiritual insight to become prophetic Christians on their way to judging all things.

7. Scheduled Intercession: Upping the ante can be done individually or collectively. Nevertheless, as with nearly all Christian disciplines, efforts are far more effective when done in concert. Note: Corporate meetings should reflect a quality and quantity of prayer indicative of the difficulties being addressed!

8. Sanctification: Devotees interested in learning to pray effectually soon feel the need for growth in radical personal and corporate sanctification and discipleship.

9. Pressing In: When prayer still largely goes unanswered, the committed “soldier on” doubling down through triple fasting (food, prayer and good deeds).

10. Praying Through: When all is said and done, those refusing to take no for an answer upgrade their efforts with semi-weekly if not daily extended times of practicing 1 or more of the 7 prayer modes listed above, majoring on being still and waiting on God through the prayer of silence. Spiritual warriors in every sense of the word, such rare men and women give God no rest, day and night, until they and those for whom they pray are demonstrably filled with both the fruit and gifts of the Holy Spirit. These are committed to travailing in prayer to the point of prevailing with men and circumstances, Satan and God.


Trailblazers

Below is a far from exhaustive list of shining examples of Christian leaders who exemplify and encourage radical discipleship.

Oxford educated and creator of it’s “Holy Club” he was famous for his unrelenting devotion to Christ and was the founder of the Methodist movement within the Anglican Church.

2. Charles Finney: Arguably the most spiritually powerful and insightful man to walk the earth since the apostles. Played a key role in America’s 2nd Great Awakening. See extensive library collection of sermons and books.

3. Smith Wigglesworth: A charismatic evangelist known for overwhelming miracles as well as incredible sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.

Sadly most modern believers would rather simply embrace the concept of seeker friendly “peace, peace” even “when there is no peace” than diligently discern the difference between the story we tell ourselves and the hard truth of Scripture. This long standing tradition among the people of God is warned against by such notables as Ezekiel and Jeremiah:


  • “Because they lead my people astray, saying, “Peace,” when there is no peace, and because, when a flimsy wall is built, they cover it with whitewash…” Ezekiel 13:10 NIV


  • “Everyone’s after the dishonest dollar, little people and big people alike. Prophets and priests and everyone in between twist words and doctor truth. My people are broken—shattered!—and they put on Band-Aids, Saying, ‘It’s not so bad. You’ll be just fine.’ But things are not ‘just fine’! Do you suppose they are embarrassed over this outrage? No, they have no shame. They don’t even know how to blush. There’s no hope for them. They’ve hit bottom and there’s no getting up. As far as I’m concerned,  they’re finished. God has spoken.” Jeremiah 6:13-15 MSG

In the case of “good old church goin’ folk” the reason for the disconnect from both Scripture and reality is an often well meant yet foundational mistake regarding to whom, how and why the “exceedingly great and precious promises of God” belong. By and large believers today are taught to view Biblical warnings and conditions through the rose colored lens of presuposing they possess the promises of God. Unfortunately, as is too often the case, Scripture teaches the exact opposite. The promises of God are received and kept not by presumption but by heeding the Bible’s warnings and conditions.

The current permissive mindset is the result of Churchianity being caught in the dangerous riptide of the original sin of entitlement popularized by various forms of Me-ism. Billions have and continue to reason, “surely modern Christians enjoy favor and forgiveness through the love and mercy of God, not to mention the costly atonement of Christ.” While having a ring of truth, such a vast over simplification of Scripture omits the clear and concise instruction of at least half the Old and New Testaments, including such unpopular topics as conditional salvation and additions to faith, presumption and the fear of God to name just a few.


Finney’s List

Charles Finney, from the list above, certainly ranks among the most spiritually powerful men to walk the earth since the 1st century. In one of his many revival lectures “Power From On High” he asserts that God is more willing to bestow the Holy Spirit than we are to ask acceptably. He acknowledges that despite the great deal of intercession for this outpouring there remains a “great gulf” between asking and receiving. He asserts the explanation for this discrepancy is our grieving of the Holy Spirit in some or all following ways:

  1. We are not willing, upon the whole, to have what we desire and ask.

  2. God has expressly informed us that if we regard iniquity in our hearts He will not hear us. But the petitioner is often self indulgent. This is iniquity, and God will not hear him.

  3. He is uncharitable.

  4. Censorious.

  5. Self-dependent.

  6. Resists conviction of sin.

  7. Refuses to confess to all the parties concerned.

  8. Refuses to make restitution to injured parties.

  9. He is prejudiced and uncandid.

  10. He is resentful.

  11. Has a revengeful spirit.

  12. Has a worldly ambition.

  13. He has committed himself on some point, and become dishonest, and neglects and rejects further light.

  14. He is denominationally selfish.

  15. Selfish for his own congregation.

  16. He resists the teachings of the Holy Spirit.

  17. He grieves the Holy Spirit by dissension.

  18. He quenches the Spirit by persistence in justifying wrong.

  19. He grieves Him by a want of watchfulness. 

  20. He resists Him by indulging evil tempers.

  21. Also by dishonesties in business.

  22. Also by indolence and impatience in waiting upon the Lord.

  23. By many forms of selfishness.

  24. By negligence in business, in study, in prayer.

  25. By undertaking too much business, too much study, and too little  prayer.

  26. By a want of entire consecration.                                                              

  27. Last and greatest, by unbelief. He prays for this enduement without expecting to receive it. “He that believeth not God, hath made Him a liar.” This, then, is the greatest sin of all. What an insult, what a blasphemy, to accuse God of lying!


Practical Steps

The following are practical considerations for those intending to embrace the process of emptying themselves in hopes of being filled to a greater measure with the Holy Spirit.

1. Repentance: Growth in humility and brokenness along the line of 2 Chr 7:14, God's perfect formula for repentance. Again see Keith Green’s short step by step paraphrase of Charles Finney’s Breaking Up the Fallow Ground.

2. Daily Denial of Self: Human attitudes and actions, from virtue to vice, are many faceted and take place on a variety of levels. Self sacrifice, to whatever degree, can be the result of an assortment of often simultaneous motivations. The trick is learning to "be careful how you hear" thus developing more accurate discernment and obedience to the call and example of Christ. Luke 9:23

3. Taking Up One's Cross: Akin to self denial, see same Scriptural reference, implicit in the word "cross" is a heightened degree of worldly loss and heaven gain. Luke 9:23

4. Morality: After millennia of gains, in a single generation immorality has become the new norm, so ingrained that it takes extreme efforts to even recognize much less root out all it's advances. 1 Cor 6:9

5. Not Grieving the Spirit: Ruthlessly incremental, the spirit of the Antichrist is permeating every aspect of secular society, deeply effecting and infecting Modern Christianity. Eph 4:17-32

6. Church Structure: Few today take the time to examine the Bible's purposes and guidelines for genuine Christian fellowship. Aside from the propriety of order, the Spirit through Paul levels more than one solemn yet nearly universally overlooked warnings that may partially explain the apparent silence and distance of God from Churchianity. Example: "But if anyone ignores this, they will themselves be ignored." 1 Cor 14:34-38

7. Family Structure: Deviated social structures have lain waist to family order and life. This must be corrected for the presence and power, provision and protection of God to freely flow. 1 Tim 2:11-15

8. Activism: Scripture warns it is not dead but living faith that saves. Not only are good deeds an prerequisite for salvation but they will be the basis of eternal judgment an/or heavenly rewards. A sobering thought for a generation, secular and religious, that has participated and/or allowed the abortion of over 1,000,000,000 (five times the earth's population in Christ's day). Mat 25:31-46

9. Exemplary Faith: Paul explains that whatsoever is not of faith is sin, at the very lease a kind of missing the mark of God's very best. Radical discipleship is built upon laying aside compromise with fear, sorrow and anger (the antitheses of faith, hope and love) Rom 14:17-23

10. Additions to Faith: All New Testament authors attest to the importance of essentials elements and additions to faith. Those who would excel know that the best and only eternal security, for oneself and others, is found in paying the price to develop unusual spiritual stamina and insight. 2 Ptr 2-10

11. Extra Oil: Easily the most problematic passage in the New Testament, Christ's warning of the Ten Virgins is one terrible parable. A challenge perhaps only answered by constantly striving for total commitment. Mat 25:1-13

12. Thankfulness: Entitlement is the original sin of heaven and earth. Thankfulness for everything is the costly prescription against the greatest plague ever to besiege mankind. 1 Thes 5:16-18

13. Righty Eye/Hand: Modern society is saturated with dazzling trillion dollar idols that not only speak but beckon with all the glory of Hollywood, Motown and Madison Ave. Add to the mix the unprecedented temptations of immodest clothing and immorality and we have a recipe for individual disaster on a global scale. Mat 5:29-30

14. Forgiving: Forgiveness may involve many issues and intricacies, layers and levels. Extreme Christianity certainly requires a deepening maturity, even among those not currently experiencing direct persecution. Mat 6:14-15

15. Be Perfect: Mat 6:38-48 Loving one's family and friends can prove challenging. How much more so enemies and/or persecutors? Yet such is required and exemplified by Christ.

16. Obedience: The vital role and importance of obedience is reinforced throughout the whole of Scripture. As seen from this short list, the would be radical disciple must attain a great degree of self mastery. 1 Cor 9:19-27 Mat 7:19-23

17. Productivity: Often overlooked as one of the conditions of salvation, productivity along with obedience and thankfulness comprise the kind of triune appropriate response God demands from all and all the more from those endeavoring to fully embrace the "high calling in Christ." John 15:1-6

18. Diligence: A defining and crucial component of active and living faith, extreme discipleship might almost be spelled "diligence" in both degree of effort and attention to detail. Heb 11:6

19. Watch and Pray: Strategic and watchful prayer, a mainstay of Scripture, is all the more required of prophetic Christians who would lead by running point. This is true in regards to seeking the power and presence of God, as well as preparing for persecution and tribulation. Mat 26:40-41 Luke 21:34-36

20. Count it All Joy: Few if any Bible verses are as challenging and potentially rewarding as being able to find happiness in the midst of difficulties. This is the bane and boon of radical discipleship. James 1:2

21. Endurance: Tens if not hundreds of millions of modern believers presume to have heaven firmly in hand by simply mental assent. Scripture teaches a far more strenuous path to salvation, not the least of which is successfully competing and completing one's course. Mat 24:13

22. Practice Hospitality: 1st century Christians were legendary for their brotherly love and hospitality. 21st century Christians less so. Understanding the importance of loving one's neighbor is essential not only to salvation, but to faith itself. Extreme discipleship must necessarily recover such lost traditions and the mindset that once made them commonplace. Rom 12:9-13


Author’s Note

By all indications, upcoming years and decades are likely to present ever more spiritual and social, financial and physical challenges for ourselves and families, friends and neighbors. Making matters worse, the state of current research and ministry strongly suggest that all aspects of today's anemic and all but powerless Churchianity are too subjective to successfully compete against the concrete demands and ubiquitous distractions, inflamed desires and mass deceptions presented by modern life.

Even with great moral and social opposition and reversals, while we may talk and sing a good story, few if any churches and families have responded appropriately. Few are the serious and strategic intercessors not to mention weekly if not daily prayer meetings. Few are those willing to discuss, much less embrace the anguish required to raise families and transform lost children within modern Christianity much less the society at large.

Among the means at our disposal to combat such circumstances is the concept of moving beyond "praying for" into the realm of "pressing in" with the quantum hope of "praying through."

While individually Christians have over the years attempted as much, clearly our individual and even collective efforts have fallen far short. I myself have attended and/or led over 1,000 corporate prayer meetings and have yet to see Bethesda's waters significantly stirred, much less the promised and desperately needed "rivers of living water" or even "fountains springing up into eternal life."

Ruthlessly honest appraisal suggests that seeing our family and friends, fellow colleagues and Christians so often taken captive by this or that, the "strong man" among us must be bound to have been so personally and collectively plundered.

My sincere prayer is that none of the above is even remotely true. Would to God that the tenants of Churchianity prove largely correct. May everything be going to heaven rather than "hell in a hand basket.” Yet, should the preponderance of Scripture and evidence suggest the remotest possibility that the foregoing is even close to the truth, an appropriate response would begin with weekly if not daily revitalized corporate prayer. I don't mean what passes for prayer today, but rather something far more desperate, perhaps along the model of Azusa street.

Scripture’s “great and precious promises” combine with Heaven’s “great cloud of witnesses” to encourage Prophetic Christians of all persuasions to individually and collectively, “Rise Up O Men Of God.” Phil Keaggy provides a moving rendition of the beloved hymn.

Rise up O men of God
 Have done with lesser things
 Give heart and soul and mind and strength
 To serve the King of Kings
 To serve the King of Kings

Rise up O men of God
 His Kingdom tarries long
 Bring in the day of brotherhood
 And end the night of wrong
 And end the night of wrong
Rise up O men of God
 The Church for you doth wait
 Send forth to serve the needs of men
 In Christ our strength is great
 In Christ our strength is great

 Lift high the Cross of Christ
 Tread where His feet have trod
 As brothers of the Son of Man
 Rise up O men of God
 Rise up O men of God

Our response, or lack thereof, to the cause of Christ and humanity, holds equally great and grave potential. In both time and eternity. Through chains of causation, the rise or fall of friends and family, society and entire generations rests in our hands. As exemplified in the old proverb, For Want of a Nail:

For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
 For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
 For want of a horse the rider was lost.
 For want of a rider the message was lost.
 For want of a message the battle was lost.
 For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
 And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

While partial visible today, only eternity will reveal the full extent of all that has been forever lost for want of honest and vigorous prayer and Bible study, discipleship and evangelism. Wherever and whenever possible, we highly suggest Prophet Christians move beyond mere Christian fellowship and church attendance, into and through the crucible of deeply repentive and strategic corporate prayer. See GB's Prayer of Anguish.

A deep dive into the lives and ministries, writings and legacies of Charles Finney and Smith Wigglesworth reveal a quantum path in seeking and serving God. Particularly in regards to the rigors of radical discipleship and the restoration of power evangelism. Essential components when advocating for personal and corporate revival in the modern world.

Both men were 200% committed to Christ. Each, in their own respective ways, lived and ministered with perhaps the greatest authentic and documented anointing seen in centuries. Neither allowed a hint worldliness or unbelief, doubtful habits or subtle sin, to diminish their Scriptural power and authority. Nor did either, for even a moment, dare grieve the Holy Spirit from Whom their spiritual strength flowed. Even so, while yielding unprecedented results, their effectiveness and expertise focused on nearly opposite facets of Christian faith.

Finney's life and work majored on repentance and service. Godly fear and love for Christ, without compromise, required vigorous and demanding holiness and sanctification. No dualistic or double-minded lifestyles. The reward for which was the glorification of God and expansion of His Kingdom. Finney's cry was for radical Christian experience resulting from extreme sanctification to God. For the sake of God's own infinite goodness. A goodness that closed not only bars and brothels, but dance halls and theaters, far and wide. Often for years after he had come and gone. All this while simultaneously expanding social services and outreach for those in need at levels previously unseen.

Wigglesworth life and work majored on belief and miracles. Absolute faith in the love of Christ, without doubt, also required vigorous and demanding holiness and sanctification. Again, no dualistic or double-minded lifestyles. The reward for which was experiencing and sharing the absolute power and glory of the unequalled goodness of Christ and His Kingdom. Wigglesworth's cry was never to leave a Christian meeting without a life altering encounter, if not collision, with the Spirit's fruit and gifts. Gifts of phenomenal healings and deliverances that enabled and empowered the fullest expression of Christ's inconceivable love and grace. The experience of which created individual and corporate cravings to fully please, and never grieve, the Holy Spirit of promise.

Prophetic Christians do well to meditate on Finney and Wigglesworth in hopes of replicating their unique and unsurpassed anointing. Doing so, mindful of Christ's warning to His first disciples, "As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work." Perhaps God may yet raise up true heirs to their legacy in this late and troubled hour.



Cruise Vs. Battleship

Few metaphors are as crucial as that of the Cruise Vs. Battleship analogy. If Christianity’s a cruise ship, sailing merrily from here to Heaven, then certainly Christ’s costly atonement is more than sufficient passage. The cross of Jesus is indeed all anyone could ever need. If however, Heaven and Earth are at war with fallen angels and devils, Christianity is a battleship and we must follow our Commander and Chief’s example and directives by daily shouldering our own.

Even if Christianity could be likened to a pleasure cruise, given Churchianity’s collision course with so many modern temptations and deceptions, up to an including immorality and the blood red mountainous iceberg of abortion, in certain respects might even many well intended ministries be reduced to simply arranging deck chairs on the Titanic?

So is Christianity a cruise or gunship? We must decide. And do so quickly and carefully. Military directives and drills, cramped quarters and sea rations, would be absurd on a pleasure cruise. So too, civilian itineraries and activities, opulent suites and sumptuous banquets, would be anathema during a time of war. See GB's Cruise Vs. Battleship Parable.

When it comes to a nearly wholesale misunderstanding and/or under appreciating of Scripture, from its basic tenants to eschatology, only the context of conflict theology can make sense pf both modern Christianity's state of woeful deception and flagrant disregard for the Bible's clear and concise commands. Including Scripture's emphasis on sanctification and the virtue of fear, the harsh sayings of Jesus and Revelation's account of Christ's judging His Church.

David Wilkerson and Leonard Ravenhill, recently lost brilliant lights within the modern Church, should both be studied and emulated. GB's Prayer of Anguish is a tribute to Wilkerson. The following are some of Ravenhill's best quotes, with links to a short and extended interview prior to his passing:

Best Leonard Ravenhill Quotes
Need for Revival Video
Prayer Meetings/Revival

  • No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.

  • Great eagles fly alone; great lions hunt alone; great souls walk alone-alone with God. Such loneliness is hard to endure and impossible to enjoy unless God accompanied. Prophets are lone men; they walk alone, pray alone and God makes them alone.

  • If you want to be popular, preach happiness. If you want to be unpopular, preach holiness.

  • The early Church was married to poverty, prisons, and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.

  • Paul never glamorized the gospel! It is not a success, but a sacrifice! It’s not a glamorous gospel, but a bloody gospel, a gory gospel, and a sacrificial gospel!

  • 5 minutes inside eternity, and we will wish that we had sacrificed more!!! Wept more, bled more, grieved more, loved more, prayed more, given more!!!

  • If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified.

  • In the revival, God is not concerned about filling empty churches, He is concerned about filling empty hearts.

  • How can you pull down strongholds of Satan if you don’t even have the strength to turn off your TV?

  • Jesus did not come into the world to make bad men good. He came into the world to make dead men live!

  • Most Christians pray to be blessed. Few pray to be broken.

  • Prayer is not an argument with God to persuade him to move things our way, but an exercise by which we are enabled by his Spirit to move ourselves his way.

  • A man who is intimate with God will never be intimidated by men.

  • The true man of God is heartsick, grieved at the worldliness of the Church, grieved at the toleration of sin in the Church, grieved at the prayerlessness in the Church. He is disturbed that the corporate prayer of the Church no longer pulls down the strongholds of the devil.

  • Entertainment is the devil’s substitute for joy. The more joy you have in the Lord the less entertainment you need.

  • Are the things you are living for worth Christ dying for?

  • If you’re going to be a true Christian, I’ll tell you one thing amongst others: it’ll be a lonely life. It’s a narrow way and it becomes narrower and narrower and narrower.

  • You never have to advertise a fire. Everyone comes running when there’s a fire. Likewise, if your church is on fire, you will not have to advertise it. The community will already know it.

  • You know, people say that today. “I am a saved sinner.” That is like saying you are a married bachelor. That is like saying you are an honest thief or a pure harlot. you can’t be a saved sinner. You are either saved or you are a sinner. He came. “Thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall save his people from their sins.”

  • Prayer is not a preparation for the battle; it is the battle!

  • “I’ve got The Father on my side, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit and 2/3 of the angels. What do you think I’m going to do? Sit down and cry?”

  • There are three persons living in each of us: the one we think we are, the one other people think we are, and the one God knows we are!

  • When there’s something in the Bible that churches don’t like, they call it ‘legalism.’

  • If Jesus came back today, he wouldn’t cleanse the temple, he’d cleanse the pulpit.

  • The tragedy is that we have too many dead men in the pulpits giving out too many dead sermons to too many dead people.

  • The world out there is not waiting for a new definition of Christianity; it’s waiting for a new demonstration of Christianity.

  • Five minutes after you die you’ll know how you should have lived.

  • If there are a million roads into hell, there’s not one road out.

  • If I was to ask you tonight if you were saved? Do you say ‘Yes, I am saved’? When? ‘Oh so and so preached, I got baptized and…’ Are you saved? What are you saved from, hell? Are you saved from bitterness? Are you saved from lust? Are you saved from cheating? Are you saved from lying? Are you saved from bad manners? Are you saved from rebellion against your parents? Come on, what are you saved from?

  • My main ambition in life is to be on the Devil’s most wanted list.

  • A popular evangelist reaches your emotions. A true prophet reaches your conscience.

  • “Tell me what time you spend alone with God… and I’ll tell you how spiritual you are.”

  • The less power a church has, the more entertainment it has.

  • The Church used to be a lifeboat rescuing the perishing. Now she is a cruise ship recruiting the promising.

  • There’s only one proof of the Holy Ghost in your life and that’s a holy life.

  • I’d rather have 10 people that want God than 10,000 people who want to play church.

  • Quit playing, start praying. Quit feasting, start fasting. Talk less with men, talk more with God. Listen less to men, listen to the words of God. Skip travel, start travail.

  • The secret of praying is praying in secret. A sinning man will stop praying, and a praying man will stop sinning.

  • Prayer is preoccupation with our needs. Praise is preoccupation with our blessings. Worship is preoccupation with GOD Himself.

  • You can have all of your doctrines right—yet still not have the presence of God.

  • How do you learn to pray? Well, how do you learn to swim? Do you sit in a chair with your feet up drinking coke learning to swim? You get down and you struggle. That’s how you learn to pray.

  • All you have to do is get in a closer walk with God and you’ll find your enemies are in your own church.

  • The church that is man-managed instead of God-governed is doomed to failure. A ministry that is college-trained but not Spirit-filled works no miracles.

  • My goal is GOD HIMSELF. Not joy, not peace, not even blessing but HIMSELF…my GOD.

  • You know, we live in a day when we are more afraid of holiness than we are of sinfulness.

  • The self-sufficient does not pray, the self-satisfied will not pray, the self-righteous cannot pray. No man is greater than his prayer life.

  • Smart men walked on the moon, daring men walked on the ocean floor, but wise men walk with God.

  • You won’t become a saint by studying your Bible; you’ll become a saint by living it.



Update 2022

For my part, I've spent 40 years strategically seeking and serving God with a single focus:

1. Is Modern Christianity and/or Churchianity working?
2. If not, why?

As a Charismatic minister, with better than average understanding of Biblical truth, the journey led me to the following inconvenient truths

1. 1/3 of my doctrine was accurate.
2. 1/3 of my doctrine was in error.
3. 1/3 of the Bible's most crucial points were either undervalued or missing altogether.

Furthermore, I've found this sad equation is far more often the rule rather than the exception.

With this in mind I've spent over two decades developing a topical Biblical commentary entitled, Quantum Christianity, showcased on my site GodBlog.net.

This was all long before 2020...

If there was ever an acceptable time to confuse Christianity with a Cruise vs. Battleship, those days are past. As Paul warned: “And if the [war] bugle produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle?” 1 Corinthians 14:8 AMP

The spiritual and sociopolitical foundations of America and Western Society have steadily been undermined since the 1960’s Sexual Revolution began reversing millennia of Christian morality. Followed by the decimating of traditional marriage and family through cohabitation and divorce. Culminating in the clinical and contraceptive abortion of 1 to 2 billion of Christ’s least brothers, 5-10 times the entire world’s population in Biblical days. A diabolic campaign of global temptation and deception destructively descending into militant homosexual and inconceivable transgenderism. A lost war against humanity, all but unfought by modern Christianity.

It’s one thing to fight and fail. It’s another to fail to fight. Not even in serious prayer meetings...

Furthermore, it should be abundantly clear the Times and Seasons have drastically declined since 2020. Nationally and globally, the world has never scene the like of even the following short list:

1. Covid-19 and variants, of questionable origin, mandates promoting and/or requiring untested and dangerous MRNA “vaccines” and “boosters” with negative efficacy and even deadly side effects revealing unprecedented control of healthcare and politics by the collusion of pharmaceutical companies and bureaucrats. To the point of threatening the removal of medical licenses of physicians prescribing safe and reliable treatments proven effective against respiratory and other illness. Example: In 2015 Ivermectin won the only Nobel Prize award for treatments of infectious diseases since six decades prior. Also report by Fortune Magazine (not right wing magazine) reveals that a simple  home remedy of saline solution used for "Twice Daily Nose Flushing Can Reduce Covid Hospitalization and Death Researchers Find" by 85%. This study was conducted Fall 2020, and could have helped prevent 3/4 of Covid deaths.

  • Sample Link: Steve Deace **9/15/22 Circumvent Medical Cartels with Dr. Harvey Risch** Simple straight talk from preeminent  honored immunologist and cofounder of The Wellness Company TWC.health 
  • Sample Link: **Ivermectin Nobel prize** In 2015, the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine, in its only award for treatments of infectious diseases since six decades prior, honoured the discovery of ivermectin (IVM), a multifaceted drug deployed against some of the world’s most devastating tropical diseases. Since March 2020, when IVM was first used against a new global scourge, COVID-19, more than 20 randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have tracked such inpatient and outpatient treatments. Six of seven meta-analyses of IVM treatment RCTs reporting in 2021 found notable reductions in COVID-19 fatalities, with a mean 31% relative risk of mortality vs. controls. During mass IVM treatments in Peru, excess deaths fell by a mean of 74% over 30 days in its ten states with the most extensive treatments.
  • Sample Link: Daniel Horowitz: **9/26/22**The Woman Who Survived American Hospital Holocaust with COVID in Plano TX**: One could make a movie about Gail Seiler’s experience in a Plano, Texas, hospital during the pandemic. Our hospitals have become killing fields. From remdesivir and illegal DNR orders to denial of treatment, forced starvation, and abuse based on vaccination status, Gail experienced the horrors that hundreds of thousands of other Americans suffered in the hospitals. Except, thanks to her husband and help from state Senator Bob Hall, she wound up being forcibly extricated from the hospital after 14 days of torture (7 days no water…). Even though the doctors said she wouldn’t last a day longer, she is now perfectly healthy and is trying to raise awareness about the hospital genocide.
  • Sample Link: Daniel Horowitz: **The Risk of Cancer from Both the Shots and Perpetual Mask Wearing with Guest: Dr. Colleen Huber | 6/3/22** “Clot shots. Poisoning of Americans (World) beyond belief, as they prepare to stick babies as young ad 6 months old. HOW IS THIS NOT THE ISSUE OF OUR TIME?  That it perpetuates the virus, destroys the immune system, and causes every ailment known to man… And yet to this day, it’s like it doesn’t exist. It’s a complete lockout…” “If you don’t get it you have your career destroyed. If you do get it you have your body destroyed. And then everything they plan on doing there on down with it.

Best documentary to date regarding the conspiracy behind the Covid plandemic and deadly vaccines, gene manipulation and trans humanism, World Economic Forum Agenda 2030, New World Order and global control by the Spirit of the Antichrist (Beast).
  • Sample Link: **Died Suddenly** Documentary featuring video of alien and deadly clots being pulled from arteries and bloods vessels during autopsies, surgeries and from a beating heat. Never before seen clots harming and killing large cross section of population after receiving MRNA “vaccines” and/or boosters. Devastating effects on US military and civilians. Extreme rise in prenatal death and birth defects among newborn. Cover up and collusion by. governments, health care and media industries. Great Reset agenda of elites through population reduction and control.

2. Economic and institutional, social and quarantine lockdowns crippling businesses and institutions, education and families, from the elderly to children.

3. Individual mandates and social distancing, mask and "vaccine" requirements restricting interaction, breathing and health.

  • Sample Link: Steve Deace: **8/24/22 The jobs/Dr. Ryan Cole**Excellent interview with Dr. Ryan Cole who is treated over 500,000 Covid patients and has impeccable credentials explaining the clot shots are extremely dangerous and genetically mutating. 

4. BLM and Antifa’s spreading of widespread rioting and looting, violence and lawlessness in the name of blatantly FALSE narratives such as Critical Race Theory (CRT) and systemic police brutality. Both undermining the foundations of society by “calling good evil and evil good.” All the while elevating career felons like George Floyd to sainthood status while ignoring the plague of black on black violence and murder, particularly within liberally controlled inner cities like the Obama’s Chicago.

5. Campaigns of disinformation and destruction by the emerging Iron Triangle of liberal governments, legacy media and global corporations influencing and poisoning the hearts and minds of billions. 
  • Sample Link: **Crimes or Cover Up** Glen Beck Exposing The Worlds Most Dangerous Lie:  History of C19 conspiracy with dates and facts. 

6. Wokism’s ridiculous and dangerous plandemic of social engineering’s impact on lower and higher education, spread by the super carriers mentioned above. 

7. The impact of Transgenderism’s incoherent and devilish reversal of truth and goodness on genuine science and health care, parenting and morality, teens and children. 

8. Political attack on democracy, particularly in the U.S. by media bias and censorship, election fraud, registration tampering.

9. Drug cartel control of southern border unleashing illegal alien invasion of 2 million immigrants in 2022. Horrifying abuse, violence and death of women and children, sick and elderly by the most outrageous smugglers and traffickers in American history enabled by Biden administration, democratic policy and republican controlled opposition. On national and state level. Immigrants extorted $10-50,000 by cartels to allow illegal crossing into US.

10. Drug cartel designer drug epidemic and death rate. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. Carfentanil is a synthetic opioid approximately 10,000 times more potent than morphine and 100 times more potent than fentanyl. The U.S. government does not track death rates for every drug. However, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention collects information on deaths involving many of the more commonly used drugs. Nearly 92,000 persons in the U.S. died from drug-involved overdose in 2020, including illicit drugs and prescription opioids. Up from less than 20,000 in 1999. Thats a 350% increase in 2020 with higher rates in 2022..

11. Escalation of US violent and property crime rates. Current odds are 1/178 that an American resident will be murdered during their lifetime.

12. Fuel and energy, transportation and economic crises created by faulty governmental policies and false media narratives.

13. Republican party is Controlled Opposition enabling Iron Triangle of liberal politics, media and corporations to deconstruct Judeo/Christian values. 12 Republicans declare "lawfare” on Christians by voting for so-called "Respect for Marriage Act" codifying federal support for homosexual marriage.

14. President Biden and Iron Triangle target Christian conservatives and/or MAGA Republicans as extreme and/or greatest threat to US.

15. Worldwide manipulation and control of all the above, as well as governments and economies, national budgets and banking, healthcare and communication, goods and services… by global elites implementing a Great Reset thus instituting a New World Order. 
Conservatives and Christians continue to fail to appropriately respond to all the above and far more:
Such atrocities, and more, have been researched and documented, warned against and explained in detail by reliable professionals in related fields. See sample links above. See also : Historical Evidence of American Conspiracy Facts
