For those of you that have been with us on Sunday mornings over the last four weeks, the message today is going to be a continuation of the series RNG (Revolution Now Generation).

I will be sharing a scripture with you, and I need you to engage this scripture as if you desire to have a deeper connection with God and catch up with the call of God on your life.

Galatians 2:20
I (name) have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me (Name). So the life I now live in the body,
live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

There are many things that people do from day to day which have little to nothing to do with what that person is called to do for the KOG.

Full-time or part-time jobs, school/education, college, or career if those things do not directly

what God has called you to, you can spend most of your life becoming good at something you were not supposed to spend your time doing.

We have bills to pay, vehicles to care for, and families to raise, but if any of these things are 1 st in your life and God is 2nd to anything, you have missed the

to do something spectacular with your life.

The way you engage the things of God in this season of your life has to be radical, progressively intentional, and revolutionary.

• Revolution defined: Radical behavior directed toward bringing about significant changes to the status quo. A sudden, vast change in a situation, a discipline, or the way of thinking and behaving; The removal and replacement of a government.

• We are facing one of the greatest

  Reveal Answer
  of God that have ever been and will be written in the history of mankind.

  o The enemy’s greatest fear about you - is that you would find the one revolutionary ingredient that would make you unstoppable…

To be revolutionary for the KOG means you do not give room for compromise… everything will change when you allow the WOG to be 1 st and you become second to Him. That is radical!

We are to be radical for Christ for the

of His kingdom into the world. We have one goal: to inject Jesus into your realms of influence.

• The revelation of the revolution is here!
  o The revolution is now!
• The revolution begins in you when you willingly choose to leave behind the life of compromise and step away from the fear thatholds you back from living & sharing Christ Jesus with the world.
• The revolution begins in you when you deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him.

The RNG begins when you live a life

God and His kingdom and you pursue a life worthy of the high calling that God has given to you.

The RNG begins when you surrender everything for the sole purpose of seeking God, His will, and His plan for your life. It begins when you live your life as a sacrifice to God. It begins when you take up your cross and follow Jesus.

• The question becomes “What is my cross?”

The RNG is when you love God with all of your heart, mind, soul, and strength and you

God because you love Him and not for what you can get from His hand…

The Revolution is… about the Man who died for you and the twist is… You can now live & now will live for Him.

Paul said and you can say; I am unashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation.

In other words…

• You are committed to the cause of Christ.
• You are willing to surrender and deny yourself.
• You are willing to consider yourself dead.
• You are alive through Christ to shine His light onto or into the darkness
• That is “to carry my cross”.
• You have decided to
  Reveal Answer
  Jesus and there is no turning back (song).
• I am compelled by His love (for me)… to live a life worthy of the calling (Trust) Christ has given to me.
  o That is:
  o Radical/Revolutionary

You are called out of the darkness and into His marvelous light.
As a follower of Christ, it is not just what I do, it is who I am.

• Being a follower of Christ is what defines you.

Jesus has already

sin and death. His love is eternal and His grace is available to you… Right Now

He calls out to the lost children, He calls out to reach those who do not know him. His expectation is that you would get to know the Father and be willing to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.

The RNG movement is unlike anything the world has ever known because you have been forgiven and that is NOW your responsibility to infuse the love for God into 2023 living.

His total surrender to God was

. He was countercultural, a rebel against the patterns of the world, and became the model of a radical revolutionary people.

We are called to live as he lived, to be imitators of Christ. To be revolutionaries.

We are those who dare to believe that God can and will change our community, we have audacious faith, we trust God for the outpouring of His Spirit, and We believe in 2023 we will advance the kingdom of God.

Revolutionaries

the world around them by being different and doing something different.

The BIG question is this: What Would Jesus do?

• Jesus would demonstrate Mercy
  o Truth
  o Love
  o Compassion
  o Forgiveness
  o Kindness
  o Patience
  o Passion for what is right
  o Lead the way to wholeness
• You have to be that… to do that…

Now you have to step out of what has been your

zone and reach into the higher level of living and live the revolution!

The REVOLUTION is CHRIST in YOU…

This radical change (revolution) is defined by what is in you…

• Truth
• Love
• Mercy
• Forgiveness
• Compassion
• Righteousness
• Wholeness
• Holiness

Your life is NOW defined by knowing Christ and God the Father who sent Him.

Christ set us free from the bondage of sin and death.

Christ set you free so that you can be Kinadom sons & daughters and champion that cause of the KINGDOM.

We NOW live with God our Creator, the Savior of the world, and His Spirit in us.

We can be changed and then be the

that the world needs by living radically for Christ.

The revolution is to live the life of Jesus…

Pray about what you can change in your life to begin living out the gospel message.

I ask you, “are you ready to be a part of the Revolution Now Generation that will live out the REVOLUTION until Jesus comes?

Luke 17: ²⁰ Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; ²¹ nor will they say,

‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you. “

In other words: stop standing around looking for another sign but know the time and season that you NOW live in.

Stop talking about being saved and walk out what

is (in you).
Be the counterculture, the real deal, the model for others to follow.

• 1 Cor. 11:1 Be imitators of me as I am of Christ

Acts 11, followers were called Christians for the 1 st time
Matt 4:18 Jesus said come follow me. (Simon, you, and Andrew)
Jesus was radical in the way He taught and instructed those that elected to follow Him.
Jesus did not baby them but told them the truth (straight talk).
Luke 22:
³¹ “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat.
³² But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers. ”
³³ But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death. ”
³⁴ Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”
³⁵ Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?”
“Nothing,” they answered.
³⁶ He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
³⁷ It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’[aJ; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment,
³⁸ The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords. ”
“That’s enough!” he replied.
Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives
³⁹ Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him.
⁴⁰ On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation

Take note, “what is written about me is reaching its

. ” Church, what is written about you is reaching its fulfillment.

Don’t let what you went through cause you to lose out on what was spoken about you.

Endure the pain and allow God to help you gain the victory.

For the joy set before Him, He endured the cross.

Hebrews 12
¹ Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,
² fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
³ Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
