“Purify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do great wonders among you.”
(Joshua 3:5 NLT)
Get Real, Get Pure, Get Life…
It’s time to GET REAL… and get honest with ourselves and God. It’s time to bring the hidden things into the light.
It’s time to GET PURE… Purity and holiness are immovable standards that God requires of every believer. Jesus is coming back for a pure Bride.
It’s time to GET LIFE… All life is sacred, and we who profess to have abundant life must be the defenders of life and enforcers of justice for the oppressed and helpless.
In a world darkened by immorality, one hope still remains—Jesus Christ our King. Matthew 5:8 states, “the pure in heart will see God.” We are tenacious for this: to find the essence of a pure heart and to live holy and blameless lives before our King. A generation is arising that will carry forth the standard of the Lion of Judah and ROAR throughout this land. The King is on the move, and this “roar of a generation” is being released.

Our land has been breached! The “spirit of prostitution” is running amuck and silencing the Church. Men and women alike are falling prey to her seductive grasp and becoming more and more desensitized to and tolerant of her actions.
From the gutters to the pulpits, the spirit of prostitution has infiltrated our land and people. She has mocked the Armies of the Lord, strangling the Church in her clenches. She uses weapons such as pornography, promiscuity, overindulgence, money and fame to weaken and destroy the Bride. Statistics show that pornography is just as rampant—if not more so—in the Church as in the world.
We can hardly turn on our TVs without hearing about child abuse, school violence, or what seems to be the new trend: teachers having sex with students. Yet nothing seems to change. Are we trapped in a sadistic cycle of sexual overexposure? How could such a thing happen? Is it because the Church has taken the casual approach to sexuality and kept the topic out of the pulpit, or is it a cultural thing—“relax, it’s just sex”?

Pure Life upholds the sanctity of life. Together we are standing for the culture of life and against the culture of death. Mother Teresa once said that people do not have the right to take life in order to live the lives they want. Murder for the sake of convenience or control is the message being preached by the world. From abortion to euthanasia, many views are being offered—even by the Church. We must take a stand against death and prove to the world that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Life is precious in the eyes of the Lord, and we should look at it through His lenses. Pure Life represents a quality of life in which God intends us to reside. His way of life is far above anything this world has to offer. Jesus said that if we lose our lives in Him, we will find eternal, abundant life with Him. When we align ourselves with God’s will and viewpoint, we come into unity with Him, thereby positioning ourselves to be far more effective in bringing life to a dying world.

Every arena of society has prostituted itself for the sake of the American Dream—sometimes in the name of the Lord or religion. Where is our indignation? Where is the Church? Where is the moral outcry? We must charge the giant of immorality with the voice of triumph: “You uncircumcised Philistine, how dare you taunt the Armies of the Lord?” (1 Samuel 17:26). Giants fall when the righteous become indignant!
We should burn with righteous anger against the injustice targeted at our children, young people, and families. We are in need of a cultural revolution. We cannot abandon our position simply because it requires commitment or becomes uncomfortable or demanding. We, as the Church, have conditioned ourselves for sprints, but we must run the distance if we hope to see genuine change and the reformation of an era.

The Church has lost her influence in society and has been mocked as weak and pathetic. We cannot keep silent any longer. Wake up, oh sleeper! Somebody must carry the torch. There must be a holy uprising. God is calling forth His holy Army to march through the land and advance His kingdom. We must realize we are meant to be victorious! Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” The Bride must regain her voice. She must speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves and defend those who cannot defend themselves. We must not miss this opportunity to further the Gospel. Pure Life Revolution now!

Many have interpreted Jesus’ meek and lowly life as an excuse to remain silent in regard to unrighteousness. We have read that in the last days, perilous times will come, and we have used this to justify complacency and apathy. Some even say that conditions will have to get worse before Jesus returns. However, the Word of God maintains that Jesus is returning for a glorious Bride without spot or wrinkle. The Lord tells us time and time again to be ready and to guard against falling asleep. PLR is a catalyst for the awakening of the Church that will prompt her to walk in her destiny.
Do we dare to believe that the God of heaven and earth can bring down the pornographic plague? Who says Internet pornography is here to stay? Do we dare to believe that a righteous generation is rising whose roar will thunder across this land? It is time to shape history. It is time to pray, fast, and war like never before. This is a pivotal hour; will it be the flashpoint America needs? It depends upon us. Pure Life Revolution Now!

Purity is not merely a defensive stand; it is the ultimate, most aggressive offensive weapon. It embodies more than the battle against addictions, pornography, lust and sexual immorality; it is a call to holiness for the entire body of Christ. We cannot tolerate immorality if we want to see God’s glory revealed (See Revelation 2:20).
Purity precedes power! Purity in the Church will lead to purity in our cities. If Christians will stop purchasing pornography, we will no longer be powerless against it. Statistics show that when Christian conferences take place, pornographic rentals at hotels increase more than at any other time. In Nashville, Tennessee two churches that closed their doors were converted—one into a fully nude strip club, the other into an after-hours dance club. Is this a picture of the western church? Are we whitewashed tombs full of dead men’s bones? This should make us burn with righteous indignation. The madness must stop!

We are in a battle against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness. We cannot be motivated by hatred toward those who have been seduced by unclean lifestyles or who own pornographic establishments. Rather, we must pray for their salvation, healing, deliverance, and restoration. We also must cry out to God, asking Him to give us clean hands and pure hearts and to restore steadfast spirits within us. When we become pure, we will have power. It has been said that God will pour out His Spirit without measure upon those without mixture.

Take action now; take a stand with us by making every effort to live a pure and blameless life (see 2 Peter 3:14). Help us ignite this global purity movement. If not us, then who? Who will answer the call? Together, we can make this Revolution a reality. Pure Life Revolution now!
