Day 21: This Is Not A Moment, It Is A Movement
Week 3: Identity, Unity & Glory
“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”
We have reached the final day of our 21 days of prayer and fasting. The temptation is to think, "We did it," and then quietly drift back to old rhythms. But God’s vision is much bigger than a 21-day event. He is after a movement.
Habakkuk sees a day when the whole earth is filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord. Not just occasional meetings where God moves, but a world where people everywhere know what God is really like through Jesus. The word "knowledge" here is experiential, not just information. God wants people to experience His glory, His presence, His goodness, His holiness, and His power.
Tending the Altar
Every revival, every prayer movement, and every local church that seeks God is a small part of that big picture. Books on revival remind us that no move of God is meant to end in nostalgia, where we say, "Wasn’t that wonderful," and settle. It is meant to propel us into mission, generosity, holiness, and ongoing prayer.
For ANCC, these 21 days have been a fresh beginning. God has awakened hunger, exposed compromise, deepened repentance, stirred intercession, clarified identity, strengthened unity, and revealed His glory.
The question now is, what will we do with it? Will we let the fire die down, or will we keep tending the altar? Will we return to comfortable Christianity, or will we continue as a church hungry for God and righteousness?
A Church on the Move
Our declaration pictures a growing, refreshing church, so full that the building can hardly contain the people, a church planting other churches, and a church where Jesus is famous and all the glory goes to God. That is movement language.
We are determined to be a people who do not just have a moment, but who carry a movement.
Let Us Pray
Heavenly Father, thank You for all You have done in these 21 days of prayer and fasting. Thank You for every whisper, every conviction, every breakthrough, and every hidden work of Your Spirit.
I give myself to You again. Let what You have begun in me and in ANCC continue and grow. Do not let this be a spiritual "moment" that fades, but the continuation of a movement of revival in our lives, our church, Britain, and the nations. Let the knowledge of Your glory fill our homes, our communities, and the earth. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
