For those of you that read this blog quite regularly (I don't know who you are) you know that a couple of days ago I wrote about God telling me to tell the kids at church that it's time to get serious. Matt called me last week and asked that I teach the kids one more time on Sunday morning. The moment he asked me to teach God spoke to me and said preach on "It's Your Wake-Up Call."
I was past the point of worrying about the kids feelings towards me and I decided that I was going to minister what God told me to minister. Up to that point the kids in the youth really hadn't shown a "true" interest in spiritual things. There was one young lady in the group that has really been through a lot and God was able to use me to give her a prophetic word that really changed her life.
Her mom came to me the following Sunday and thanked me for "reading her mail" because all she did was talk about how awesome she was feeling. I know that this was a "destiny" word and I am excited to see where God is going to take us as a youth ministry.

Time To Get Serious!!!
Tell the kids "It's Time To Get Serious!!!" It was Sunday morning during praise and worship at church. (www.myspace.com/abundantlifetabernacle) I was contacted at 9:59am that morning to teach the youth (thanks Chewie - you have taught me to be instant in season and out). I was asking God what He wanted me to teach and I heard nothing until about 15 minutes until it was time to go back to class. I was praying and seeking and asking and all of the sudden I heard God tell me to tell the kids It's Time To Get Serious!!!
God brought me to Revelation 3 where God is telling the church that He wished they were hot or cold. But because they are lukewarm He was going to vomit them out of His mouth. I can honestly say that God came in the room and I was literally weeping as I was teaching. I kept telling the kids that God's heart cry for us is to get serious about our walk with Him and the lack of care we have had. If America needs anything right now it's for the youth and the church of America to stand up and declare the word of the Lord to a lost and dying world. He's tired of our lackadaisical lifestyle and He's going to start requiring us to change so we can walk into what He has for us.
