WhY LIVE A NAZIRITE LIFESTYLE?
Nazirites are Old Testament National leaders that took the meaning of commitment to the highest level. They became God's grace to the spiraling moral degradation of Israel during that time. When necessary, they even became the deliverers of Israel, such as Samson, Samuel, and Elijah.
Today God seems to be pouring out His grace once more over our societies. The borderless youth culture of today is asking more from Christiainity than ever before. They are under challenged, digital (technologically advanced), and under great attack. The present generation is restless and hungry for a cause that will match their unique DNA. Could this be the generation God has been waiting for? Is God raising up a whole generation of Nazirites as one of his expressions of grace? In Amos 2:12, God counted it as sin when Israel "(made) the Nazirites drink wine". Maybe we, as a church hinder God by causing this generation to live in mediocrity and discourage them to make a commitment of the highest level. This is the main reason why Jesus Revolution Now is starting a Nazirite Training. The goal is build a strong foundation of character in order to build anointings and giftings on, therefore release this generation to one of the greatest challenges the church has ever faced, to turn nations back to God. The formula given by God to bring healing to the nations is found in 2 Chronicles 7:14. "If My People who are called by my name will Humble themselves, Pray and Seek my Face and Turn from their wicked ways... then I will hear... forgive... and heal their land." So the Nazirite Training will focus on Humility, Hunger and Holiness, which make up the three modules of the training. We will build on these modules: Humility: We must exercise it; Hunger: We must cultivate it; and Hoiness: We must pursue it. Psalm 24:6 says that there will be a whole generation that will seek Him. Jesus Revolution Now is committed to see a whole Fathered generation living a Nazirite Lifestyle committed to turn nations back to God. Once you or your leader goes through the Nazirite Training, they will never be the same. They will be passionate, but humble towards God; on fire, but holy unto God; determined, but hungry for God. |
