Every movement goes through this. When leaders fall, when the miraculous gets marketed, when the culture you loved breaks your heart. This is not the end. It is a turning back to what is real.
We have this treasure in cracked vessels, so the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
2 Corinthians 4:7I need to tell you something before we begin. I was in it. Not on a platform, not as a public figure, but in it. In the worship wars and the prophetic conferences. In the tongues and the healings and the expectations. In the hunger for more of God that made everything feel alive and dangerous and real.
And I watched it all fall apart. The leaders we trusted. The movements we followed. The certainties we carried. I watched the world mock what I once treasured, and I watched the church defend what could not be defended. And I grieved. Actually grieved, like someone died. Because in a way, something did.
But here is what I have come to believe. The fire was never in the leaders. The movement was never in the movement. And what God does through His Spirit is not cancelled by what man does with it. This series is for anyone who has loved a revival, watched it fracture, and wondered if anything real remains.
"The fire was never in the platform. The movement was never in the movement. And it is not out."
With honesty and hope,
