Revolutionary Characteristics

 The Characteristics of a Revolutionary: (This is from a book that we went through as a fellowship back in 2005 that was a prophetic description of what, where, and who we are today as a fellowship and a family here at NEW HEIGHTS!)

-           They have no use for churches that play religious games… whether those games are worship services that drone on without the presence of God or ministry programs that bear no spiritual fruit.

-           They refuse to follow people in ministry leadership positions who cast a personal vision rather than God’s

-           FROM The start of this fellowship a year ago… we have said we are not looking to create a wave, but look for the waves the Creator has already made and then as a team… learn to surf them! Well, this revolution movement is one of the biggest waves I have seen yet (20 million strong)

-           They refuse to follow people who are more concerned about their own legacy than that of Jesus Christ.

-           They refuse to donate one more dollar to man-made monuments that mark their own achievements and guarantee their place in history.

-           They are unimpressed by accredited degrees and endowed chairs in Christian colleges and seminaries that produce young people incapable of defending the Bible or unwilling to devote their lives to serving others.

-           They are embarrassed by language that promises Christian love and holiness but turns out to be all sizzle and no substance.

-           They realize that it is just not enough to go with the flow.

-           They seek a faith experience that is more robust and awe inspiring, a spiritual journey that prioritizes transformation at every turn, something worthy of the Creator whom their faith reflects.

-           THEY ARE SEEKING THE SPARK provided by a COMMITMENT to a TRUE REVOLUTION in thinking, behavior, and experience, where settling for what is merely good and above average is defeat.

-           They zealously pursue an intimate relationship with God, which Jesus Christ promised we could have through Him.

-           They recognize that there is a huge price to pay in this lifetime - but they are mindful of the eternal payoff as well.

-           They make their choices carefully, knowing that each choice matters to God.

-           There is no such thing as “going along to get along!”

READ: Acts 2:42-47... It is not just a fairytale land that is simply an artifact of Christian history!  COMMITMENT TO OTHERS… BECAUSE of their immense commitment to God! Shared everything, prayed, worshiped everyday, acts of selfless service, faith-based conversation, all about relationships!!
