THE VISION

This is the most powerful description of true worship I have ever heard.
I'm wrecked each time I read. We are coming into a new day when true unquenchable revival will flood our streets. The church as a whole has become known for all the things we hate, may we change the tide and see history re-written and be known for the world we love. May our hearts be ruined for what God Almighty weeps over! It's time for this resurrection life to overcome!


An excerpt from Red Moon Rising... Peter Greig's

” What’s the vision?
The vision?
The vision is JESUS – obsessively, dangerously, undeniably Jesus.
The vision is an army of young people. You see bones? I see an army.
And they are FREE from materialism.
They laugh at 9-5 prisons.
They are mobile like the wind, they belong to the nations. They need no passport. People write their addresses in pencil and wonder at their strange existence.
They are free yet they are slaves for the hurting and dirty and dying.
What is the vision?
The vision is holiness that hurts the eyes. It makes children laugh and adults angry. It gave up the game of minimum integrity long ago to reach for the stars. It scorns the good and strains for the best. It is dangerously pure.
This is an army that will lay down its life for the cause.
A million times a day its soldiers choose to lose
that they might one day win the great
“Well done,” you faithful sons and daughters.
Such heroes are as radical on Monday morning as Sunday night.
They don’t need fame from names. Instead they grin quietly upwards
and hear the crowds chanting again and again:” COME ON!”
And this is the sound of the underground
The whisper of history in the making
Foundations shaking Revolutionaries dreaming once again
