“God is our refuge and strength, an ever
present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1
1: A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
Our helper He amid the flood,
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe,
doth seek to work us woe;
his craft and pow’r are great,
and armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
A Mighty Fortress is our God
![Page 5: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
2: Did we in our own strength confide;
our striving would be losing;
Were not the right man on our side,
the man of God’s own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He,
Lord Sabaoth His Name,
from age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
![Page 6: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
3: And though this world with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God hath willed,
His truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo! his doom is sure;
One little word shall fell him.
![Page 7: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
4:That Word above all earthly pow’rs,
no thanks to them abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours,
through Him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
The body they may kill;
God’s truth abideth still;
His Kingdom is forever.

“Choose for yourselves this day Whom you will serve … but as for me and my house, we will serve
the Lord.” Joshua 24:15
![Page 11: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Cross road o f
Decis ion
The Reformation was a defining moment ,when the Christian convictions and courage of Reformers met the crossroads of decision
and engaged the battle fields of belief and behaviour.
![Page 12: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“If I had a place to stand, I could move the world.”
The Greek engineer
Archimedes was referring to
the wonders of the lever. In principle,
the capacity of a lever was unlimited.
Archimedes
![Page 13: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
An ordinary weakling could
move a rock the size of a house.
All that he would need would be a
fulcrum,
a pole strong enough so that it would not break,
and long enough to multiply the force.
That, and a place to stand.
![Page 14: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Fulc r um
The force multiplying physics of the lever are a function of distance. The heavier the object, or the weaker the person trying to move it,
the longer the pole would need to be, and the further away from it you would have to stand.
![Page 15: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
However, with the right fulcrum,
the right bar and the right distance,
all you would need to do would be to push
the lever down, and the boulder,
no matter how heavy it was, would move.
![Page 16: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
To Move the Wor ld
Theoretically, Archimedes famously declared, with the right fulcrum, bar and distance, you could put a lever to planet Earth and move the
world itself. As long as you had a place to stand!
![Page 17: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
On 18 April 1521, a 37-year old Professor from the University of Wittenberg found himself hauled
in front of the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
A Def in ing Moment
![Page 18: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Standing before the assembled political and spiritual authorities of his day, Luther was presented with a simple choice: Will you recant, and
reject everything you have been teaching about the Gospel?
![Page 19: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Or will you be cast out of the church as a heretic, and out of the state as a traitor, to be burned at the stake?
![Page 20: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Courage and Convic t ion
Martin Luther’s reply moved the world. He changed history. Because he had a place to stand. Dr. Martin Luther declared:
“My conscience is captive to the Word of God. Here I stand!”
![Page 21: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Our Lord Jesus declared that our Faith would be able to move mountains (Matthew 17:20). Martin Luther’s Faith moved the world because he had a place to stand.
![Page 22: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
He stood on the Word of God. The fulcrum he used was the Gospel.
This was balanced on the bar of the Law of God.
![Page 23: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
To Move The Wor ld
Dr. Martin Luther actually fulfilled what the Greek engineer Archimedes had hypothisized about.
![Page 24: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Standing on the Word of God, using the bar
of the Law of God and the fulcrum of the Gospel,
Martin Luther’s Faith
not only moved mountains,
it changed the world.
![Page 25: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
It brought to an end the Middle Ages, and ushered in the modern world.
![Page 26: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Protestant Reformation, and the resultant Scientific Revolution and Industrial Revolution, produced the most productive, prosperous
and free nations in the history of the world.
![Page 27: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
All this because Luther had a place to stand, and he made his stand
on the unchangeable Word of Almighty God.
![Page 28: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Decis ive Act ion
These decisive actions were blessed by God with an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which made the Protestant Reformation one of
the greatest movements for
Faith and freedom in history.
![Page 29: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Confront ing Cor r upt ion
Dr. Martin Luther’s actions were described as that of another Elijah – confronting the false prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel.
![Page 30: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Indeed, there were many similarities between the religious superstition and corruption confronted by Martin Luther in the 16th Century
and the national apostasy of Israel confronted by the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 18.
![Page 31: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
A Cal l fo r
Commitment
It was a defining moment when conviction and
courage confronted corruption and
cowardice.
![Page 32: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
“And Elijah came to all the people, and said, ‘how long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God follow Him, but if Baal is god,
follow him’. But the people answered him not a word.” 1 Kings 18:21
![Page 33: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Agains t Al l
Odds
Elijah stood alone against the
450 prophets of Baal and the
400 prophets of Asherah.
Elijah challenged them to a contest.
![Page 34: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Those 850 false prophets were to build their altar,
and Elijah would build his altar. Each would pray.
The one who answered with fire,
he would be recognised as the one true God.
![Page 35: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Cowardice
“But the people answered him not a word.” Sometimes silence is golden, other times it is just plain yellow.
![Page 36: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
A Deafen ing S i l ence
The people of Israel were so backslidden and apostate that they just nailed their colours to the fence. They didn’t say a word.
![Page 37: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
They remained uncommitted, waiting to see how things turned out. They would surely back the winner. They are waiting to see which way the wind blew… and on which altar the fire fell.
![Page 38: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The
Fut i l i ty
of Fa l se
Rel ig ions
As there were far more prophets of Baal and
Asherah, they started first.
From morning until noon the false prophets called out to the name of Baal.
They leapt about.
![Page 39: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
There was much shouting and screaming, songs and
dances, even cutting themselves with knives. They worked themselves
into a frenzy, but there was no answer.
No fire. After several hours of
futility the false prophets had exhausted themselves.
![Page 40: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Repai r ing the Al tar
“Then Elijah said to all the people, ‘Come near to me’. So all the people came near to him and he repaired the altar of the Lord
that was broken down.” 1 Kings 18:30
![Page 41: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Sol id Foundat ions
Elijah first laid down the stones. This is symbolic of the foundational doctrines which we must all know.
However, the stones were not enough.
![Page 42: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The Wood o f Fa i th
It is not enough to know the great truths of the Scripture, we must believe them. This is symbolised by the wood that was laid on the altar.
![Page 43: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
For, to lay the wood indicated faith that the fire would fall.
We must not only know the truth in our head, we must believe the truth in our hearts.
![Page 44: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Put t ing F lesh to our Fa i th
On top of the stones and wood, Elijah placed the meat of the sacrifice. We need to put flesh to our Faith. We need to put feet to our Faith.
![Page 45: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
It is not enough to know the truth in our head, and to believe the truth in our heart, we need to live the truth in our life.
![Page 46: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Living Water
Over the sacrifice, the wood and the stones, Elijah had water poured until it saturated the sacrifice, the wood and filled the trench around the altar. This symbolises the prayer with which we should soak our
lives, faith and doctrines.
![Page 47: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The F i re o f God
“And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, ‘Lord God of Abraham, Isaac
and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your Word.
![Page 48: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that You are the Lord God, and that You have turned their hearts
back to You again’.
![Page 49: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice and the wood and the stones and the dust and it licked up the water
that was in the trench.
![Page 50: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their
faces; and they said,
‘The Lord, He is God! The Lord,
He is God!’.” 1 Kings 18:36-39
![Page 51: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Boldness
There is a time to stand up, a time to step out, and a time to speak up. This is what Elijah did at Mount Carmel
when he confronted the false prophets of Baal.
![Page 52: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Although heavily outnumbered, and opposed by the wicked King Ahab and Queen Jezebel, Elijah had the conviction
and courage to fight the good fight of Faith.
![Page 53: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Two Foundat ions
There were two altars, but only one had the fire. Jesus spoke of two men who built two houses on two different foundations.
![Page 54: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
But the one house was built upon the sand and when the rain fell and the winds blew and the floods rose, that house built on the sand
collapsed. However, the house built upon the solid rock stood firm.
![Page 55: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Two Ways
There are two ways, the broad way that leads to destruction, and the narrow way that leads to life.
![Page 56: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
The broad way is smooth, easy, downhill and popular. The narrow way that leads
to life is steep, difficult, often rough and lonely.
![Page 57: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
However, we should not choose a road by how comfortable and easy it is, but by whether it is going in the right direction
to get us where we need to go.
![Page 58: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

The Fr u i t o f the Sp i r i t
Jesus said that we would know a tree by its fruit. What is the fruit of your life? Is it the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control? (Galatians 5:22-23)
![Page 61: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
The Fr u i t o f the F lesh
Or is it the fruit of the flesh: “adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies,
![Page 62: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries and the like; of which …
those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21
![Page 63: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Are You For Chr i s t o r
Agains t Him?
Jesus said: “You are either with Me, or against Me. You are either gathering, or scattering.
![Page 64: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
If you confess Me before men, I will confess you before My Father, who is in Heaven, but if you deny Me before men,
I will deny you before the Father and the Holy Angels.”

Making a S tand
Despite the social pressures, the political dangers and ecclesiastical pressure Elijah stood up, stepped out and spoke out for Almighty God.

He confessed the Lord before men, and God most powerfully answered his prayer.

We were then informed that it was 31 October, Reformation Day.
The village was celebrating the Reformation. School children had
made out posters with sketches of the great Reformers: Dr.
Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, William Tyndale, John Knox and John Calvin.

John Wycl i f f e
In the Reformation, bold believers made a courageous stand for righteousness and truth. Professor John Wycliffe, of Oxford University,
spoke out against the superstitions and corruptions of the Roman Catholic church.
![Page 79: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Wycliffe proclaimed: Christ alone is the Head of the Church ;
Scripture contains everything necessary for our Salvation, and
all authorities must be tested by the Scripture.
![Page 80: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Jan Hus
Professor Jan Hus gave his life standing up for the truth of God’s Word against papal idolatry.
![Page 81: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Savonaro la
Jerome Savonarola was burned at the stake in Florence for his brave attempts at Reform.
![Page 82: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Mar t in Luther
Dr. Martin Luther boldly confessed his faith before the assembled might of the papacy and the Holy Roman Empire.
![Page 83: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
“Unless I am convinced by Scripture, or by clear reasoning, that I am in error – for popes and councils have often erred and contradicted
themselves – I cannot recant, for I am subject to the Scriptures I have
quoted; my conscience is captive to the Word of God.
![Page 84: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
It is unsafe and dangerous to do anything against one’s conscience.
Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise. So help me God. Amen.”
![Page 85: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Vision
The Reformation was inspired by a great vision. “Without a vision a people perish.”
What is your vision?
![Page 86: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Purpose
What are you living for? Reformers, like Dr. Martin Luther, were living for a vision far bigger
than themselves, far bigger than their times and their nations.
![Page 87: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Their vision continues to impact
and bless the world, even hundreds of years
after their life.
![Page 88: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Who Wil l R ise Up?
The Word of God declares: “Who will rise up for Me against the wicked? Who will make a stand up for Me against the
workers of iniquity?” Psalm 94:16
![Page 89: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
“If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest
exposition every portion of the truth of God,
![Page 90: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
except precisely that point which the world and the devil are
at that moment attacking, then I am not confessing Christ,
however boldly I may be professing Him.
![Page 91: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the
soldier is proved;
![Page 92: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
and to be steady on all the battle front
besides is mere flight and disgrace if he
flinches at that point.”
Martin Luther
![Page 93: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
David

Gol ia th
The young shepherd boy, David, although he was the
youngest and the least, he rose up and made a
stand against the blaspheming Philistine
giant Goliath:
![Page 94: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
“You come to me with a sword, with a spear,
and with a javelin, but I come to you in
the Name of the Lord of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel,
Whom you have defied.”
1 Samuel 17:45
![Page 95: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Chris t ian Courage
In many ways the Reformation was a David against Goliath campaign. Courageous Reformers challenged the political and ecclesiastical
authorities who had abused their powers and distorted the Scriptures.
![Page 96: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Martin Luther nailed his 95 arguments against papal indulgences to the door of the Castle Church. He burned the papal bull publically
in Wittenberg. He stood firm before the emperor and refused to back down from his Scriptural position.
![Page 97: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Nathan be fore the King
Nathan the prophet had the courage to confront the King:
“You are the man!” 2 Samuel 12:7
![Page 98: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
John Knox
Scottish Reformer, John Knox, confronted the wicked Mary, Queen of Scots, in the same spirit as the prophet Nathan.
![Page 99: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
John Knox described Mary, Queen of Scots, as “a traitoress and rebel against God.” The Queen declared, trembling and in tears, that she was
more afraid of the Prayers of John Knox than of an army of 10,000.
![Page 100: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
D a n i e l ’ s
S t e a d f a s t n e s s
Daniel courageously stood firm under 3
pagan kings. Exiled from his own land in childhood,
Daniel is an example of steadfast integrity.
He served in the governments of
Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar in Babylon and under King Darius of the Medo-Persian Empire.
![Page 101: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
Yet, without compromise. He refused the meat offered to idols, from the king’s table. He courageously confronted Belshazzar over his
blasphemous abuse of the elements, from the Temple in Jerusalem at a Babylonian banquet: “You have been weighed in the balances,
and found wanting!” Daniel 5:27.
![Page 102: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
When commanded to only pray to the king, Daniel continued to faithfully pray to the Lord God Almighty.
For this he was thrown into the lions’ den.
![Page 103: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
Luther and Zwing l i
Martin Luther and Ulrich Zwingli stand out as courageous and principled Daniel’s standing firm and faithfully expounding the Scriptures
amidst many threats and dangers.
![Page 104: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Jo h n t h e B a p t i s t a n d Ja n H u s
As John the Baptist courageously preached against sin and confronted corruption and hypocrisy, even losing his own head for opposing and
exposing the wickedness of King Herod, Professor Jan Hus stands out in the same spirit, and with the same courage.
![Page 105: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Standing in the Gap
The Word of the Lord declares: “So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and
stand in the gap before Me, on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it …” Ezekiel 22:30

Are you turning from your wicked ways?

I heard the voice of the Lord saying:
“Whom shall I send and who will go for us?’ Then I said: ‘Here I am! Send Me!’ Isaiah 6:8

The Great Commiss ion
“And Jesus came and spoke to them saying: ‘All authority has been given to Me on Heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the Name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always,
even to the end of the age. Amen’.” Matthew 28:18-20

What does God want you to do ?
Today? This week? This month? Next year?

Decis ions
Every day there are decisions we need to make, temptations we need to resist, challenges to face,
opportunities to seize, battles to win,

Scriptural commands we need to obey. Every decision we make makes us more a
creature of Heaven, or hell.

Choices
Every choice we make sets us further down the broad way to destruction, or the narrow way to life.

There are many defining moments which we need to respond to with
courage and conviction, determination and decisiveness.

However, we sometimes come across major defining moments on which far more than even our own eternal destinies depend.

On such occasions we need to respond with the vision, courage, dedication and determination
of the prophets and Reformers of old.

Is your conscience captive to the Word of God?
![Page 158: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/158.jpg)
Is your desire to
obey God
promptly and
sincerely with
your whole heart
aflame in the
hand of God?
![Page 159: History Revisited - A Global Church Council](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110109/53f593f78d7f72f7368b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/159.jpg)
We need
doctrinal steel
in our backbones and
Holy Spirit fire
in our hearts.

May the Lord
fill us, and
empower us,
with His Holy
Spirit - to be
faithful to His
Word and
effective in His
service.

May God find us
faithful to His
Word and
effective in His
service as we
work for Biblical
Reformation and
pray for Spiritual
Revival.
