Glory to God! It is the youth!
Jesus became real to me in 1970 at my first Bible study. It was a 17 year old pastor with an afro. I had never heard of being born again or ever heard a Bible study. A 16 year old told be about God's love, I was already extremely convicted of sin during the Bible study and prayed and wept for an hour or so with joy after praying. It was a saul - Paul conversion. I went from addicted to R&R to anything about Jesus I could find. We went instantly out on the campus sharing this Savior we had just found with all the youth there. Glory to God.
Now, many years later, I am still on the streets sharing His love, but it is to the older ones. Most have been in Church, some hurt from Churches. All have an excuse, Some can share the Gospel better than us. But something happened and they are now addicts and homeless. Some are getting saved and delivered but not an out pouring like we long for.
Wed. night at the Evangelism meeting at Church I was asked to give my testimony and the Pastor there is a hands on evangelist in tent city, food banks, preaching and sharing the love with everyone in the city. After I gave my testimony he said it's the youth. We need to reach the youth. And bring the youth into our meetings.
We were located in another room at Church as the youth were in the Sanctuary having their meeting. I was the first to leave and I was hit with a blast of the Holy Spirit.
There was our youth, not young adults but the youth, lights were low, worship music playing and the youth on their knees praying and praying for one another. O' the Presence of the Lord was so strong. I am so extremely blessed. God is moving and in the US and there is more to come. All glory to God.
Lets make it a priority to pray for our youth - young adults everywhere. I know some have children, some have grandchildren. Lets pray the Holy Spirit will pour out upon them and they can be part of what the Lord is and going to do amongst them. Amen and Amen. And remember to pray for the revival conference coming up in Oct. with SI as well. That the Lord will bring the youth to it or have a youth night. All glory to God. We live in such exciting times and it is going to get more exciting as well. Hallelujah!
Not a time to fear Christians, a time to draw close to God and be part of what He is doing and about to do. He needs intercessors. All to His glory for He is worthy!
