JESUS PEOPLE?--OR REVOLUTION!    GP 148   6/71

         1. WE ARE NOT LIKE THE SO-CALLED "RADICAL REVOLUTIONARIES," the violent revolution, the so-called Communists or Marxists, Maoists or any of the rest of them! We are not looking forward to a revolution! We are not expecting a revolution! We are not PLANNING on a revolution! We are not just THINKING about revolution! We HAVE a revolution & we ARE a revolution & this IS a revolution & we are already LIVING a revolution! We have already revolted, we have already dropped out! We have already cursed the churchianity system as the Devil's abomination to God!
         2. WE HAVE DROPPED OUT OF THE SYSTEM! We only USE IT for the glory of God! We have ALREADY HAD OUR REVOLUTION & WE ARE HAVING IT & WE ARE LIVING IT & WE ARE GENUINE revolutionaries! We've already taken over the revolution of God! We have already taken over the Kingdom of God, so to speak! As Jesus said: "The violent take it by force!"--Mat.11:12.
         3. WE HAVE A VIOLENT REVOLUTION OF THE SPIRIT! Not physical violence, we don't believe in it!--But we have already perpetrated our own violent revolution of our own spirit by the power of the Holy Spirit of God!--God has already revoluted us! It's already happened! It's happened to you already! Christ has already revoluted your whole life & soul & your spirit! God has done it already! You are a revolution! You are the Revolution of God! You are the Kingdom of God!
         4. YOU ARE THE ONE & ONLY REAL JESUS PEOPLE, WHO ARE LIVING LIKE JESUS & HIS DISCIPLES, instead of just going around namby-pamby PREACHING it! Well, they preach Salvation, thank God for that! Let's hope they get saved! But Jesus & His disciples lived it, unlike the Scribes & Pharisees who also PREACHED love & PREACHED God, but they didn't LIVE it! They were a bunch of phoney fakers because they hadn't dropped out of the System & they were damned compromisers that compromised with the damned System every inch of the way--including the damned Roman government & damned churchianity religious System of their day!
         5. BUT WE, LIKE JESUS CHRIST & HIS DISCIPLES, ARE LIVING OUR REVOLUTION, HIS REVOLUTION, God's Revolution, God's Word's Revolution & the revolution that God's Word talks about from start to finish! That's the kind of revolution we have! This is the real one & only, GENUINE REVOLUTION that'll ever survive, because this is the revolutionary Kingdom of God & Jesus Christ! That's the difference! We're not looking for revolution, we ARE a revolution & we're HAVING a revolution & we're LIVING a revolution every day & every single one of you is a revolution of Jesus Christ!!!
         6. YOU ARE THE ONLY REAL REVOLUTIONARIES! COMPARED TO YOU, THE COMMUNISTS ARE PHONIES--compromisers, because they have simply revamped the damnable hellish, fiendish, devilish, commercial, whorish, idolatrous System itself to their own advantage! They're not revolutionaries--not at all! They're just a new bunch of guys running the same system!--No different from Capitalism or anything else. They're still a bunch of evil men, & they've got the same damnable, fiendish, Satanic System!--The same thing!
         7. WE ARE MORE REVOLUTIONARY THAN THE COMMUNISTS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T CHANGE ONE DAMNED HEART! In fact, every damned one of them is LOST if he doesn't find Jesus! They haven't changed a single heart & there's no revolution on God's Earth that's going to last, not even last out this life, much less last out Eternity, unless the HEART is changed! God's got to revolute the HEART! He's got to change your LIFE! Don't tell me your heart is changed & you don't change your life--& you don't drop out of the damned, cursed System or the damned abominable churchy system!
         8. DON'T TELL ME THAT YOU'RE CHANGED! YOU'RE NOT A DAMNED BIT CHANGED, WHEN YOU GO BACK TO THE SAME DAMNED ACCURSED JOB & SLAVE FOR THE SAME DAMNED MASTER, the same damned system! Jesus Christ Himself said, "Ye CANNOT serve GOD & MAMMON!" You can't do it--it's IMPOSSIBLE for you to serve them both! And yet those CHURCHIANITY JESUS PEOPLE GO RIGHT BACK & SERVE MAMMON FIVE OR SIX DAYS A WEEK.
         9. DON'T TELL ME YOUR HEART IS CHANGED, DON'T TELL ME YOUR LIFE IS CHANGED, DON'T TELL ME YOU'VE HAD A GENUINE REPENTANCE--a real metanoia--a real complete change of mind & heart!...Do you know what "metanoia" means, the Greek word which is translated in our New Testament as "repentance"? It means a complete turning around & going the other way!
         10. DO YOU KNOW WHAT JESUS WAS SAYING WHEN HE SAID THAT? He was saying, REVOLUTE!--REVOLT!--FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND! He said, TURN AROUND & START GOING THE OTHER DIRECTION! You CANNOT keep on living the same way! You CANNOT go the same way anymore! You CANNOT go back & be a slave of Mammon five to six days a week & then tell us that you're serving GOD!! YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD & MAMMON! It's impossible! Jesus Himself said it! You'll either "love the one & hate the other or hold to the one & despise the other!" Which are YOU serving?
         11. LET ME TELL YOU, WE HAVE A CHANGE OF DIRECTION! We have gone down that damned street & we didn't like it & WE HAVE TURNED COMPLETELY AROUND, WE HAVE REVOLVED, REVOLUTED, WE HAVE A REVOLUTION & ARE GOING THE EXACT OPPOSITE DIRECTION! That's what we've done & that's what we're doing! THIS IS A REVOLUTION! We are not compromising & conforming to the damnable System church! We are not conforming to the damnable commercial System! WE HAVE DROPPED OUT economically! We have dropped out religiously, spiritually! And the only reason we stay at peace with the political System is because God's Word commands it for the sake of peace! We have dropped out educationally from the Devil's own Satanic propaganda educational System!
         12. WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT A REVOLUTION LIKE THE COMMUNISTS, PROMISING WORLD UTOPIA SOMEDAY! WE HAVE GOT IT RIGHT NOW! We have Heaven on Earth in our hearts & in our Homes! Now! We have GOT Revolution, in our HEARTS! God has already revoluted us, turned us around & started us the other direction, a totally DIFFERENT direction--Not just a slight variation, not just turned a corner like the Jesus People--socalled! BUT THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE A GENUINE, ABSOLUTE, POSITIVE, RE-VO-LU-TION!--FOR JESUS!
         13. YOU ARE GOD'S REVOLUTION FOR THIS HOUR & THIS DAY! You're it! You're the only ones I know in the World who are living like Jesus & His Disciples, who are not just talking about it, not just preaching it, but LIVING it, living together in peace & in love & in joy & in witnessing & in Bible study & in prayer & in praise & in sharing a GENUINE, ABSOLUTE & TOTAL CHANGE! ALL is changed! NOTHING is the same anymore! The change in LIFE! "Not I that live, but CHRIST that liveth in me!" "For it is not I that live," I'm dead. "My life is hid with Christ in God"!
         14. BUT WE HAVE A REVOLUTION! TTL! YOU ARE A REVOLUTION because you are the Revolution of Jesus Christ in the hearts of men & that's the only total Revolution there is! That is the only absolutely dead-sure, Eternal-life-sure Revolution in the World today! It's the kind that not just so-called changes your hearts just because you say "I take Jesus" & then you go on living, working at the same job, living like you did before!--There's no difference--that's not Revolution! This is CHANGE, this is DIFFERENT! THIS IS TOTAL, COMPLETE, ABSOLUTE REVOLUTION!--CHANGE OF DIRECTION! Absolutely going the opposite way--against the tide--even against the damnable laws of their System that try to prevent it!
         15. I'M NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT THE LEGAL LAWS--city ordinances, state or federal statutes etc. I'm talking about THE DAMNABLE, SATANIC PRINCIPLES ON WHICH THE DAMNED SYSTEM IS BUILT!: ITS LAWS OF SELFISHNESS & DO-YOUR-OWN-THING & KEEP ON LIVING JUST LIKE YOU DID & DON'T CHANGE, just say you're Jesus People! That's not Revolution! We have Revolution! We ACT different! THAT'S the difference!
         16. DON'T LET'M TRY TO MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE THEY'VE GOT ANYTHING COMPARED TO WHAT YOU'VE GOT--because I DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER OUTFIT IN THE WORLD THAT IS REALLY RELIGIOUSLY REVOLUTIONARY! I haven't heard of any, I haven't seen any--even your Hari Krishna & all the rest of that baloney's been around for thousands of years--all that bullshit! It's stinking up the whole World & it's cursing whole nations & it has absolutely wrecked places like India & China!
         17. BUT HERE IS AN ACTUAL REVOLUTION!--ONE THAT'S ACTUALLY IN PROGRESS--one that's actually going on--not a bunch of sophisticated, pseudo-intellectuals sitting around liberalistically TALKING about Revolution or even a bunch of radical Communists or terrorists, that are tossing bombs & trying to burn down school buildings! THAT'S not Revolution! That's nothing but doing a lot of damage that isn't going to change the hearts of the System one tiny little bit!
         18. WE HAVE THE REVOLUTION THAT CHANGES HEARTS, that grips men's hearts so that they can't get away & turns them completely around & changes their direction! That's the difference! YOU'RE ALREADY ENJOYING YOUR REVOLUTION, YOUR NEW LIFE, YOUR NEW NATION & YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE IT FOR EVER! TG! PTL?
         19. THAT'S THE KIND OF REVOLUTION JESUS WAS TALKING ABOUT! REPENT!--Change your direction!--Change everything!--Change your way of living, not just your so-called heart, but your whole LIFE! THAT'S Revolution! That's what JESUS preached! You've GOT it! You don't have to wait to enjoy it after some violent bloodshed of some kind!--And then they don't rejoice!--They just create another System & things are just as bad, if not worse!
         20. BUT YOU ARE ALREADY ENJOYING A FORETASTE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH! You are living the way people are GOING to live in love & sharing & sweetness & light & joy & praise & song & worship as they're going to live in the Millennium! YOU'VE GOT THE KINGDOM OF GOD on Earth! You've got the Kingdom of God within you, as Jesus said!
         21. YOU'VE GOT YOUR REVOLUTION, BECAUSE YOU ARE THE REVOLUTION! YOUR HEART IS CHANGED--everything's changed! You're no longer the same, you no longer belong to the same System, you no longer are a part of that damnable, fiendish, Satanic, whorish, World System of idolatry, including churchianity & education, their damned propaganda set-up or their damned commercial System! WE ARE DIFFERENT--TOTAL REVOLUTIONISTS--MORE TOTAL THAN THE COMMUNISTS--more total than the Marxists, more total than the Maoists, more fanatical than Che Guevara, less compromising than Castro!
         22. WE ARE THE ONE & ONLY ABSOLUTE & TOTAL REAL, GENUINE REVOLUTION IN THE WHOLE WORLD! We are IT! We are God's CHILDREN! We are the REAL Jesus People! We are CHANGED!--We are DROPPED OUT & no longer are in the damnable System! This is IT & you're IN it & you're PART of it & you ARE it, BECAUSE YOU ARE THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST IN PERSON--GOD'S OWN Children!
         23. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A VIOLENT REVOLUTION! We are not physically violent, but WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A SPIRITUALLY VIOLENT REVOLUTION, that absolutely RENDS YOUR HEART RIGHT OUT COMPLETELY & GIVES YOU A NEW SPIRIT, THE HOLY GHOST OF GOD! VIOLENT SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION! THAT'S THE KIND OF REVOLUTION WE'VE GOT! TYL!
         24. WHAT IS IT JESUS SAID ABOUT THEIR "PRESSING INTO THE KINGDOM" & "the violent take it by force"?--He wasn't talking about PHYSICAL violence!--He was talking about SPIRITUAL VIOLENCE!--A SPIRITUAL warfare!--"NOT CARNAL, BUT MIGHTY to the tearing down of STRONGHOLDS!"--The Devil's SPIRITUAL STRONGHOLD in the HEARTS of MEN! Hallelujah!--THAT'S our Battle! THAT'S our Revolution! "For we wrestle not against FLESH & BLOOD, but against principalities & powers & SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS!" Hallelujah! WHAT A WAR!
         25. AND IT'S ONE WE CAN'T LOSE!--WE'RE DESTINED TO WIN!--FOR GOD IS WITH US! Hallelujah!--And He's never lost a BATTLE!--He says so!--"Stand back & see ME fight, saith the Lord!--For this is not YOUR battle, but MINE!" "Vengeance is MINE!--I will repay!" Hallelujah! "For upon this ROCK, CHRIST JESUS, I will build MY CHURCH--YOU--& the Gates of HELL shall not prevail against YOU!"--You CAN'T LOSE! It's JESUS! IT'S JESUS' REVOLUTION!--FOR JESUS! Hallelujah!
