Tabernacle Keys Revival - Fire and Ice Ministries River of Life ...

Chapter One
The Desperate
Need for Change
If there is anything that most Christians will agree with, it is that the current
church is not much like the early church. In this book I will talk about our
Jewish roots as Christians and our departure from true apostolic and prophetic
ministry, but first I need to talk about the desperate need for change. I
have made up my mind that I am going to be a minister open to new things
and change. If traditional church here in the west is not seeing the fruit of
Jesus’ ministry, there needs to be change. In this book you will hear my true
heart for God’s presence in my life and ministry. Many of my church members
will tell you that Fire and Ice is probably the most unique church they
have ever been in, but they will also tell you of the anointing like they have
never known before. I have gone back to the word of God to search out what
pieces of the puzzle are missing, and I have found many. Most of my congregation
will say they have never heard 90 percent of what I have taught
them before! These are the teachings laid out in this book. It is not teaching
new things, but rather, it may seem new to those who are traditional. I heard
my pastor say he is open to new revelation. That is awesome! We need
some new insight to take this last day harvest we are responsible for. Different
doesn’t bother me as long as it is God. God makes every snow flake and
finger print different. He is not uniform and boring. He loves diversity in his
creation. As the church, we should be some of the most open to uniqueness
and variety since we are the ones with a relationship to God. Every church is
like a different snow flake to God. He doesn’t want there to be extreme uniformity
like we have seen. I can actually tell you many times the denomination
of someone by the way he dresses and talks. That is sad. God wants us
to be the unique individuals he has created us to be. The hatred and/or fear
of diversity, of what God has instituted, is the very thing that has created the
great evil of racism. This same divisive demonic spirit is what keeps the
church divided by denominational walls. So as we overcome the fear of being
different, it will help us move into the unique call that is on our lives.
The fear of change
As I have stated already there needs to be some radical changes in the local
church to prepare a wineskin for revival. At the same time, I know that most
congregations fear change more than anything else. Change will cause
some to leave churches and persecute what is going on. This will call for
strong leadership that will move with God, even though they are persecuted
