Sometimes there are situations and circumstances in your life that seems to take the "fight" out of your walk. I had been experiencing that since the middle part of December. For those of you that don't know I have accepted a position to be the associate youth director at ALT. Since that time I have really had a burden on my heart to teach the teens the power they possess and the power that they can walk in. During that time I have been "butting heads" with a certain teenager.
It seemed like no matter what I was teaching or ministering on he would have a problem with. So I began to really pray and fast certain things to get God's attention and get the power of heaven behind me and I continued to pray for him. Two weeks ago, on a Wednesday night, we experienced breakthrough. In class we began to talk about the decisions you make and how people view you. We asked the teens if their friends knew they were Christians. This teenager said "they know I go to church but not that I'm a Christian." From there we asked if he died that night where he would spend eternity. He said "hell probably." I'll admit that the flippant attitude scarred me at first but I then began to talk to him and the evangelistic anointing began to flow.
I looked at him and told him that it was time to get things right with God. I told him that he was a leader and was a voice to his generation. As much as he hated to hear that he knew that I was telling the truth. That night before we left he prayed a powerful prayer and it got the ball rolling for God to show up in a mighty way. It's my heart's desire that these teens experience God in a mightier way then I ever have.
So that Sunday (Jan. 20) God began to move on us and I couldn't even teach and when we got back into the youth room God showed up again and it turned into a prayer service and God showed up. I am so excited and thankful for what God has done and is going to do.
Keep checking back for more updates.
