In this sermon, Pastor Dr. Herbert Ward, Sr. teaches that humanity has needed spiritual reform since the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. This message emphasizes that true spiritual reform is not rooted in religion or human tradition, but in salvation through Jesus Christ and the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Ward shares that believers must examine their spiritual condition and ask whether they are truly pleasing God, understanding Him rightly, and living by His Spirit. This sermon warns against religious compromise, false doctrine, spiritual laziness, and churches that have “a form of godliness” but lack the power of God. It calls Christians to return to biblical truth, worship, prayer, study, surrender, and daily renewal.

Pastor Dr. Ward stresses that salvation is God’s gift to humanity, while religion is humanity’s attempt to please God. Because believers are heirs of God through faith in Christ, they should live as ambassadors of Christ, blessing others, influencing people toward God, and walking by faith rather than sight. Spiritual reform begins in the heart of the individual believer, not merely in church institutions. This sermon concludes with a call to total surrender. Believers are urged to die daily, feed on the Word of God, pray, worship, and allow God to renew the right spirit within them. True spiritual reform requires being filled with the Holy Spirit, turning away from sin and compromise, and becoming fully committed to God.
