Both Ananias and Sapphira, together with Simon the sorcerer, attempted to introduce into the glory of the early Church corrupt values that would have defiled and greatly diminished her glory. However, it was stopped at the door and the glory was protected and allowed to increase.
In like manner, the true judgments of the Lord that produce holy fear and genuine repentance, along with prevailing prayer, must return to the Church, so there can be a thorough cleansing and the glory of the Lord can be restored.
In Cleansing the Temple, you will:
- Receive revelation on the coming judgement and the restoration of God’s glory in today’s Church
- Understand the mystery of iniquity and how the love of money, position, and power has greatly limited God’s glory
- Gain greater discernment into the importance of holy character and the difference between the wisdom of God and the wisdom of man
- Experience your hunger for purity, prayer, and the real power of God to be deeply stirred
