Romans 9:6-8 (NKJV)

“…For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham…That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God…”

Spiritual realities cannot be inherited. Only God can birth true renewal and revival in a life and among a people, and until and unless God does that, all our labors are in vain. We must not look at the external form and imagine that the inner life automatically conforms to the external. While the external may resemble the Church of God, the inner life may be the Church of Satan. There are too many among us who look like sheep, but who are really wolves.

“Those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God.” Even with the Jews, it’s not because they are children of Abraham that make them automatically children of faith. There are the children according to the flesh and there are those according to the Promise of God. Not all who are Jews are of the spiritual lineage of Abraham. Likewise, there are many who claim Christ but do not carry the nature and emblem of Christ. We need a revival that will purge the Church and transform many. We need a revival that will separate the true Church from the false. We need a revival that will expose the children of the flesh from the children of the Spirit. We desperately need a revival.

“Amen Lord. We need a revival. There’s too much falsehood and pretentiousness in the Church. Breath upon us again and separate the wheat from the chaff. In Jesus name. Amen.”
