How to Start a Revolution The single greatest cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny Him with their lifestyle. This is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable. Brennan Manning

How to Start a Revolution revolution (from the Latin revolutio, "a turnaround") is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time.

How to Start a Revolution 1. Starts with an Idea. No real social change has ever been brought about without a revolution... Revolution is but thought carried into action. - Emma Goldman

How to Start a Revolution “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has appointed me to preach Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the downtrodden will be freed from their oppressors, 19 and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come.” Luke 4:18-19

How to Start a Revolution 20 He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down. Everyone in the synagogue stared at him intently. 21 Then he said, “This Scripture has come true today before your very eyes!” Luke 4:20-21

How to Start a Revolution 2. Changes the current situation. A revolution is not a bed of roses... a revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past. Fidel Castro, speech, 1961

How to Start a Revolution Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple. 27 And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:25-27

How to Start a Revolution “Simply put, if you’re not willing to take what is dearest to you, whether plans or people, and kiss it goodbye, you can’t be my disciple. Luke 14:33 The Message Bible

How to Start a Revolution 3. Costs something to bring about change. Revolution is not a dinner party, nor an essay, nor a painting, nor a piece of embroidery; it cannot be advanced softly, gradually, carefully, considerately, respectfully, politely, plainly, and modestly. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another. Mao Zedong

How to Start a Revolution Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. 26 What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? Matt. 16:24-27

How to Start a Revolution 4. Requires an all-out commitment. In a revolution, one triumphs or dies (if it is a true revolution). Che Guevara letter to Fidel Castro, 1965

How to Start a Revolution To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless. 12 We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it; 13 when we are slandered, we answer kindly. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world. 1 Cor. 4:11-13

How to Start a Revolution For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. John 6:38

Ivan “Vanya” Moiseyev ( )

How to Start a Revolution For God is working in you, giving you the desire to obey him and the power to do what pleases him. Phil. 2:13 NLT
