MANIFESTOS

Most people hate manifestos because they believe that manifestos deny them the right and the freedom to make independent decisions. They want to maintain control over the process of change. The truth is that a manifesto merely details a series of urgent actions that must be taken in order to correct a matter of grave urgency. Manifestos from God tell you precisely what actions must be taken in order to correct an emergency situation. The detailed plans for rebuilding the Jewish temple as outlined in the book of Ezekiel was a manifesto for change. The Israelites ignored God's instructions and suffered the consequences. Twenty-first century discipleship requires urgent remedial action. Only God and the Holy Spirit of God can author the solution.
