Today I would like to write
something different, since I tend to write when I am deep in thought or struggling.
I want to write about God moving. I feel as though I am hearing the sound of
change, right now, here in my own youth group. What God has been speaking about change seems to be happening,
and I am excited! Last week the Holy Spirit fell on the group, so much so, that
when the youth pastor dismissed with the band still going, no one left. As I
stood in the back I felt the strongest urge to pray in tongues
over them, which is not very usual for me. As I did so, I felt like I sat at
the front of a battle, with the glory of God pouring through me, I literally could
not stand. As I laid on the ground praying words I didn't understand, God was doing something, the Lord of the universe was moving. My whole body shook, I felt the fear of the Lord as well as abounding joy.
Having recently finished the
book It, by Craig Groeschel, I have been hoping to see the small flame we have as a group
start to burn uncontrollably. Whatever effort we (as leaders) put into this group is useless without the
move of God. I challenge anyone who does not believe God still moves; show me
what use anything we do is without Him! I dare not put the great I Am in a box, or
believe I can change the world in my human frailness. What I want to see is more of Him, more direction, more spirit. I so
desire for people to open up their ministries, their families, and their lives to
the movement of the Holy Spirit! Where are you stagnant? Where are you needy? If
you need vision and direction, go to the one who provides these free of charge! I'm not gonna lie, I am Pentecostal, and I believe that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. God has something
big planned for this group of amazing youth. I am blessed and proud to be a
part of it. Just wait, the best is yet to come.
