We are looking for a kingdom that will never end and a King whose rule is perfect. We long for the Kingdom of God, and for Jesus as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. We are actually desperate for what no earthly revolution can produce. We rightly long to see righteousness, truth and justice prevail. Arguably, most revolutions lead to a worse set of conditions than they replaced.Īnd yet, we still yearn for radical change, for things to be made right. Some historians have gone so far as to identify our modern epoch as “The Age of Revolution.” Is it? Perhaps it is more accurate to refer to our times as “The Age of Failed Revolution.” Looking across the landscape it becomes clear that very few revolutions produce what they promise. And then, revolutions seemed to appear almost everywhere. Step by step, phrase by phrase, The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down explains what these words mean and how we are to pray them. The word itself was feared and speaking it was treason. recaptures the urgency and transformational nature of the prayer, revealing once again its remarkable, world-upending power. For centuries, the word revolution was scarcely heard, buried under ages of oppression.
Something within us cries out that the world is horribly broken and must be fixed.
