Reformers are consumed by the raging fire of the Holy Ghost!
A raging fire consumes everything that is dead in its pathway.
A raging fire inside you will cause people to know there is something different about you. When God reshapes you with His raging fire, you become a reformer.
Someone who brings reformation is someone who has been reformed by the presence of God.
Reformers can walk into a spiritually dry climate and change it completely.
Reformers are often ridiculed, falsely accused and will encounter trials and tribulations.
Reformers do not let these things stop them because they know they have an assignment from God for which they have been marked.
Reformers carry the transforming power of God.
These people laughed at and ridiculed Jesus because they did not know the power of God that Jesus carried. The easiest way to kill something is to abort it before it ever has the chance to be born.
Right before Jesus performs this incredible miracle, the enemy came to oppose Jesus and have these people mock Him.
But Jesus never wavered. He assured them Jairus' daughter was not dead. Jesus put all the unbelievers out of the room and ministered to this little girl.
Then Luke 8:56 says, "Her parents were astonished, but He commanded them to tell no one what had happened." Catch this revelation. Jesus came to heal Jairus' little girl and reform her situation, not to perform. If Jesus had been there to perform, He would have encouraged all who were there to go and tell everyone they knew about what Jesus had just done. But Jesus didn't. He came to reform, not perform.
God is raising up sons and daughters who are reformers, not performers.
I challenge you: Are there areas in which you are performing instead of bringing reformation?
As you allow God to continue to reshape you, you will become a reformer.
Now is the time for many people to step out of the mentality of performance and into God's acceptance for them.
God is looking for those who will not settle for the religious status quo and instead reshape churches, cities, regions and nations in this hour. God is looking for reformers, not performers.
