THE TURNING OF THE AGE AND WHAT CHRISTIANS NEED NOW

Every 500 years, a great shaking occurs, realigning the Church and the world with a higher order of divine purpose. This pattern is not random—it is woven into the very fabric of history. If we trace the timeline, we see pivotal moments of transformation: the fall of Rome and the rise of Christendom, the Great Schism, the Protestant Reformation, and now, our moment—a new threshold, a new reckoning.

The Church stands at another crossroads. We live in an age of unprecedented access to knowledge, yet confusion reigns. We are drowning in information but starving for wisdom. Many feel the tremors of change but struggle to name it. The old structures are trembling, the familiar ways are breaking apart, and the Spirit is stirring, calling us to a deeper awakening.

THE CYCLES OF REFORMATION

History shows us that God moves in cycles of restoration and renewal:

• 500 AD: The Roman Empire collapses, giving way to monastic movements that preserve the faith amidst chaos.
• 1000 AD: The Great Schism splits the Church, redefining its structure and theology.
• 1500 AD: The Protestant Reformation tears down corruptions, restoring access to Scripture and personal faith.
• 2000 AD: What now? Another reformation looms—not just institutional but deeply personal.

This time, it is not merely about breaking from tradition; it is about breaking free from the illusions that keep us spiritually asleep. This is a reformation not just of theology but of being—a shift from mere belief to radical transformation.

WHAT IS AT STAKE?

The greatest deception of our age is not outright unbelief but a diluted, domesticated faith—one that conforms rather than confronts, that settles rather than seeks. We have built cathedrals of certainty around our own understanding, arguing endlessly with darkness rather than awakening to the light.

Like the generations before us, we are being summoned to return—to the fire, to the mystery, to the power that first turned the world upside down. But to step into this new era, we must be willing to unlearn, to let go of the lifeless forms we have clung to, and to embrace the living breath of God afresh.

THE CALL TO AWAKEN

The Reformation of the 1500s was about rediscovering truth. The Reformation of now is about rediscovering transformation. It is no longer enough to merely know Scripture—we must embody it. No longer enough to debate theology—we must become the message. No longer enough to attend Church—we must be the Church.

HOW DO WE STEP INTO THIS?

1. Return to the Fire: Christianity was never meant to be safe. It began with a baptism of fire, not a comfortable ritual. The early believers turned the world upside down because they carried something real—a power, a presence, an unshakeable kingdom. Have we lost that?
2. Reclaim the Mystery: We have become obsessed with controlling God, reducing Him to formulas and principles. But God is wild, untamed, and beyond our grasp. It is time to humble ourselves and rediscover the awe, the wonder, and the mystery of His ways.
3. Walk in Power: The early Church moved in power, not just words. Healing, deliverance, authority over darkness—these were the marks of those who truly followed Jesus. Have we exchanged power for empty rhetoric? We need to reclaim the full gospel, not just in theory but in reality.
4. Prepare for the Uncomfortable: Reformation is never easy. It disrupts, it unsettles, and it demands sacrifice. But if we cling to what is passing away, we will miss what is breaking through.

WHAT COMES NEXT?

If history is any indication, a storm is coming, indeed it is laready here. Not one of destruction, but of divine disruption. Every reformation begins with a reckoning—an unveiling of what no longer serves the Kingdom. And with every unveiling comes a choice: resist and be swept away, or awaken and rise.

This is the moment of decision.

You feel it, don’t you? That unsettling sense that things cannot stay as they are. That deep knowing that the way forward is not in playing it safe but in stepping into something deeper, wilder, more real.

The question is no longer if a new reformation is coming—it is already here. The question is: Will you be a part of it?

QUESTION FOR REFLECTION

• Is my faith a diluted, domesticated one, or does it confront and challenge the status quo? The source suggests that a common deception of our age is a faith that conforms rather than confronts, that settles rather than seeks. This implies a need to reflect on the nature of our own faith and whether it aligns with the call to radical transformation.
• Have I become obsessed with controlling God, or have I embraced the mystery of His ways? The text argues that we often try to reduce God to formulas and principles, while God is wild and untamed. Reflecting on how we approach our understanding of God and if we allow for the mystery of God is an important step.
• Do I rely on empty rhetoric, or do I walk in the power of the Holy Spirit? The document contends that the early church moved in power, not just words, and that it is necessary to reclaim that full gospel, not just in theory but in reality. This calls for a reflection on whether our faith is actively displaying the power that is available to believers.
• Am I clinging to what is passing away, or am I open to what is breaking through? The source suggests that reformation is disruptive and unsettling and requires sacrifice. A useful question to ask is whether one is clinging to the familiar and known instead of being open to the new things God is doing.
• Am I resisting the divine disruption, or am I willing to awaken and rise? The document states that a storm of divine disruption is coming and asks whether we will resist or be a part of it. Reflecting on how we are responding to the shifting times and whether we are willing to participate in the reformation is a relevant question.

DEVOTIONAL PRAYER

Heavenly Father,

we stand at the turning of the age, where the old is crumbling and the new is yet unseen. In a world of shaking, we do not cling to institutions, traditions, or comforts—we cling to You.

Awaken us, Lord. Strip away the illusions we have mistaken for truth. Let us not settle for borrowed faith, empty rituals, or the safety of routine. Ignite in us the fire of reformation, the hunger to seek You not just in knowledge but in power, in presence, in spirit, and truth.

Let us be those who discern the times, who carry the vision, who burn with the urgency of Your calling. Shake off our apathy. Silence the voices of fear and compromise. Lead us out of the ashes and into awakening.

We do not ask for ease—we ask for fire. We do not ask for comfort—we ask for courage. We do not ask for the way things were—we ask for the fullness of what You have ordained.

Lord, we want to be a part of what You are doing in this hour. Help us to return to the fire of our first love, reclaim the mystery of your divine presence, and walk in the power of your Spirit. We do not want to resist you; we want to participate in your work. We give ourselves to you, for you to use us to usher in this new reformation, both in our lives and in the world around us.

Come, Holy Spirit. Reform us, renew us, and awaken us. For Yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory—now and forever.

In the Name of Jesus, I pray.

Amen.
