Dan & Linda Wilson: Revival of Righteousness

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

We know that revival does many things when the Spirit of God, His Presence, moves through people. Dan and Linda Wilson write about a "revival of righteousness" coming.

Me being a grace man, I want you to know that no matter where you are at in your walk and no matter what has happened in your past - God CAN and WILL heal and restore that which has been stolen from you! Grace, grace upon as you read this word.

"Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds." The Holy Spirit is releasing this word from Isaiah 3 in this hour. As darkness seems to be covering the earth, a holy remnant is rising up, declaring the goodness of the Lord.

In Jesus' words that we refer to as the Beatitudes, two of the promises speak of righteousness: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled," and, "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven." Righteousness is not a thing of the past. What Jesus taught will always remain relevant to those who seek Him. These are words for today!

Another great promise is found in 2 Peter 1:3-4: "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. Through these He has given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires."

We are excited to see more and more young couples coming for pre-marital counseling who are serious about keeping themselves pure before the Lord. Through our ministry, we know of many married couples who have happily entered marriage as virgins and are receiving great reward from the Lord for doing so. (Photo courtesy: Barry Adams)

Yes, there is great grace for those whose path has been different. All have sinned. We all need the grace of Jesus for salvation, forgiveness, and deliverance. But God's mercy must not be used as an excuse to enter or remain in sinful behavior. The Bride of Christ is being prepared for her Lover through the pursuit of holiness and righteousness. The beauty of her purity will bring great glory to the Bridegroom when they are united as one. Recently, we met a couple that had been married two years. Interestingly, the woman was widowed and the man was a 50-year-old virgin when they married. They are deliriously happy together. Glory to God!

Changed Through Divine Encounters With Jesus

In this revival of righteousness, many business men and women are being brought into high levels of integrity. No longer comfortable with gray or brown areas, these deal makers are walking the narrow path of godliness in all transactions. They are being consistent in word, deed, and contracts. And God is entrusting them with Kingdom finances.

Many righteous Believers are being moved to Hollywood, New York, and Nashville. We will be seeing more and more of the arts redeemed! School teachers are shining the love of Jesus in the classrooms. Physicians are inviting The Great Physician into the exam rooms. Pilots are being borne along by angel wings. Firefighters are spreading Holy Spirit fire just as expertly as they douse the fires of the enemy. Multitudes of prisoners are being set free as ministries take the Good News inside jails and prisons.

In discussing and defining righteousness Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary says this, "God is neither indifferent to sin nor regards it lightly. On the contrary, it [righteousness] demonstrates that quality of holiness in Him which must find expression in His condemnation of sin." Dikaiosune is the Greek word translated in the Bible as righteousness. Vine's explains this word using the phrase "right action" and describes how people are brought into right relationship with God through encounters with Jesus, the Righteous One. This is key.

When any person has a divine encounter with Jesus, they are changed. No longer are they held captive by sin and consumed by worldly standards. Righteousness defines them. The glory of God follows them. Holy Spirit protects them. Transformation toward holiness goes beyond a yearning of the heart to becoming their personal and experiential reality.

• We decree divine encounters with Jesus!

• We decree a fresh outpouring of righteousness in the Church!

• We decree a revival of righteousness spreading around the earth!

• We decree the righteous will shine like the sun (see Matthew 13:43)!

• We decree the righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever (see Psalm 37:29)!

Amen and amen!
