this is such an important read. I have been wrestling a lot with 'revival' culture or apostolic movements and how albeit the intention has some noble attributes, it can water down the power of faithfulness, waiting, stillness, quietness and waiting in the Lord. It can also glorify the stage, a loud or charismatic personality rather the personhood of Christ and the joy of discovering our identity in Christ which is not cookie cutter, we are not meant to look or sound the same.
Thanks so much for reading! Yeah, tricky times, but nothing's new there have always been different movements and people throughout history doing wild things in "God's name", they often seem to get the most attention, but there are still countless men and women going about kingdom work quietly and faithfully and in that I take respite.
