Revelation 3: 14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou were cold or hot.
There are times in our experience when a reformation is needed. Times, when there must be a change of ideas and perspectives, where there must be some house cleaning as it were for where ever the revival occurs, a reformation must of necessity soon follow.
A revival is more like a resuscitation from spiritual death, as when a paramedic does CPR on a patient who is close to death. But a reformation has to do with concrete steps that are taken to reform certain malpractices which need to be addressed and which if left unattended can cause revival to go in reverse.
As the long 2300-day prophecy of Daniel was now drawing to a close, there was a spiritual revival in those whom The Spirit of God stirred up, and then it was that the great Reformation movement gained a whole lot of steam. As Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg, very great changes and reforms were about to take place.
Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
