The body of Christ currently stands in desperate need of transformation. Those who disagree are either willfully blind or woefully compromised.

Do not be deceived, now is the hour of historic revival and widespread renewal. God Almighty is awakening His church from her slumber and pouring out His Spirit upon the hungry. He is making rivers in the desert and breaking in with power to those who will earnestly seek His face.

We have tried to win the masses with silly gimmicks and cheap games only to realize it is we who have been tricked and seduced. The time for counterfeit measures and cheap fabrications is over. We desperately need real presence, true power, and authentic anointing that sets the captives free.

In the midst of weak opinions and endless echoes, God has called Lance Johnson to be a resounding voice of revival and reformation. Gifted with the eye of an eagle and graced with the loving compassion of a spiritual father, Lance details how far the church has strayed while also providing a roadmap for restoration.

Before much of the content of this book was penned, it was preached as a sermon to pastors and leaders in the body of Christ. I was fortunate to be present and as a result, my life and ministry have never been the same.

The Holy Spirit used Lance’s laid down life and uncompromising message to produce a greater surrender to the Lordship of Christ in my own soul. My prayer is for the same soul-stirring and holy fire to be kindled in every person who reads this powerful work.

If you are ready to lay down the counterfeit and take up your cross, then this is the book for you. May God fan the flames of revival in every heart and awaken His people to true intimacy with Him as His return fast approaches.

A storm is coming! Are you ready?
