Dear Beloved of the Lord,
The greatest change the church has ever seen is upon us, but will it come upon us unawares? The Lord is rising up a "Generation that will seek Him." From the day we went to Milliken Colorado over 5 years ago, God had a plan to bring forth a spiritual revolution and He had his youth upon His heart.
I was sent to Milliken to lead a Pastors week of prayer for a tent meeting in this little town, but when the time came to begin the week of prayer not one Pastor came. I didn't know what to do because our small team was the only people there to pray. The Lord spoke to my heart, " you can worship me." It was there in the worship God began to unveil His heart to us about the Youth of God in the church, and the spiritual revolution they are called to bring.
He showed me in a picture all the Christian youth put into a huge corral where you would put a heard of cows or horses. Then next to the corral was a huge church and the Lord spoke to me and said, "why are you keeping them from Me. Why are my Leaders, Pastor's taking them out of my presence to be with me?' Then I saw the big church with all the children in classrooms while the adults remained in the sanctuary to "hear the Word."
Then I saw the Lord's face with tears flowing down His face, and how heart broken He was because we were taking the "youth" away from Him instead of bringing then to Him. I then saw them coloring pictures of Jesus. I saw them getting ready for a Easter or Christmas program as ones to be "put on display."
This caused me to break down and cry for as a Pastor in my early years I did this to the youth. They weren't old enough to stay in service I thought. The parents need a "break" from their kids so they can be the fed the Word of God, and we need to teach the children the Word of God at their level. Though there is an element of truth in this, what I did and so many Pastor's do Sunday after Sunday is actually take them out of the "place where they need to meet God." This broke our Lord’s heart greatly.
We were left in Millikan to pray by ourselves. In our alone time, God began to move sovereignly in this small town and begin to draw intercessors from around all of Northern Colorado to pray for this little town. The next day 5 ladies came to join us in prayer. I never met them before, and I asked them how they heard about this prayer. One said, "The Holy Spirit told her there is prayer going on in Millikan, the others said, they were just led to come there." This could only be done by the Holy Spirit working.
By the end of the week of prayer, God brought over 30 -50 people to come from all over Northern Colorado to pray for this town and for the youth. I was asked to speak on Saturday the second to last night of the revival, and the Lord gave me a word about the "spirit of religion" and not to love your traditions above the Lord.
There was a music ministry made up of many young people over 30 that were leading worship at these meetings, but the older people in their hearts despised this "new form" of worship. They wanted the old songs and really persecuted those young people for not singing their old songs from Mexico. So God had me address it through the Word of God.
There were at least 150 people there and about 40 were youth. I preached the hardest message I preached up to that point against the sin in the house of God and how the people settled for religion and not a true living relationship with our Lord. When I gave a time to come to altar, I thought for sure all the adults would come and repent before the Lord.
That morning, two people from different sides of the country called me. They did not know I was ministering that night and asked me if I was ministering. I said yes of course. They both told me independently they got a Word from the Lord, "Tonight call down the fire of the Lord."
The moment came for the altar call and it was time to call down God’s fire to come in our midst. What do you think happened at the altar call? Not one, not one adult came to repent or come to the altar in repentance. Did you read that, not one! Who responded to the call? Every single youth that was there came to the altar.
Then I prayed God, "send your fire." Immediately, the Holy Spirit's fire came and filled them. They began to speak in tongues, prophesy to one another, repent to each other, weep, and laugh. They were overwhelmed in the power and love of God. The Host Pastor's grandson was on the floor crying and laughing, "God you are killing me, but you are loving me." God healed that young man of the suffering in his heart. God moves so powerfully in the youth. Yet the adults didn’t embrace it.
From that day, God had us go back to the area to do conferences to help keep the fire burning in those that wanted it. At one meeting in Greeley, Colorado at the 7th day Adventists church we were allowed to use, about 30 youth came. The Lord told me to take them behind the veil. So I told them that the music would be different then KLOVE
I told them I would be singing and ministering to the Lord. It would be like lover's music. I didn't thing they would even respond to it, Beloved. Yet Again, I was sure the 50 adults would run to the altar would be first to come. We older "spiritual" people really want more of the Holy Spirit in worship right? Who came first? How about a 10 year old boy named Ryan who came and ran to the front, fell on His face and started loving the Lord with His whole heart and with His tears.
Ryan's obedience prompted all the other youth to come and the fire fell upon them. Beloved, that service did not get over until 2 am in the morning. The youth wept, repented to their parents, repented to their siblings. They sang new prophetic songs, preached, and prophesied to everyone there, where a parent cried out, "Lord help us ,don't let them get ahead of us to far, help us to catch up with them."
What a three day meeting we had. We continued to have meetings there in another church where one of the elders said, “ The presence of the Lord lingered in the church for over 2 weeks like an open heaven.” Yet, even there we were persecuted for allowing the Fire of God to come to His people and to the youth.
Unfortunately in both places the "spirit of religion" came to "tame the children into submission. The enemy came to quench the very flame He started. The adults didn't want it, or worse, they wanted to control how much Holy Spirit the youth could have. Pastor's in the region began to speak against God was doing because the youth were casting out devils out of people. Of course casting out devils is the sign the Bible says will be accompanying believers.
Instead of taking the time to train and equip them, they were told, sit down and get back in the corral. Many of the Pastors in the area began even to speak against the ministry God was sending us to bring there. That happened 5 years ago.
But nothing can stop this Baptism of Fire God is bringing to everyone who wants it and the spiritual revolution He is going to bring through the Omega Generation. In Muzquiz Mexico, a Pastor’s son and all the youth got so filled with the fire they could not even get up off the floor. A new song was song as God moved in the midst of His people. The Pastor’s son said, “I have never felt such a heavy presence of the Lord in my life.”
Beloved we have seen God move in the youth in many cities in the USA and in Mexico with the same fire. Some Pastors at first welcomed it, but when it go to messy they shut it down. Messy because the kids were bold to operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and began to call the adults to repentance and expose the sin that is in the hearts of God’s people.
At one meeting in San Marco California a 12 year old boy preached Ezekiel 33 to the pastors, Woe to the shepherds that feed themselves and not feed the sheep. He said to the Pastor, “ You used to serve God for money and you had much, but look where your people are now. They are in the Holy of Hollies. This is where God wants you to bring them and how you should feed them. The Pastor's 7 year old son, cried out in prayer for over an hour. Lord we are stuck, your pastors are stuck, help us, we want more of your presence. They think we want more games and pizza, but we want to burn with your presence.
God moved so powerfully there but again the Leadership of the church did not have the maturity to allow the children to grow, or have the time to teach and train them because the older people got upset. They were more concerned about the children having gum in their mouths than what God was doing in the young people. They were offended that the Holy Spirit would speak to the “leaders of the church” in such a manner.
In 2011, God brought us to the East Coast of the USA where God had some Pastor's that would allow the Lord to move in the youth and are continuing to allow the youth to function. Some Pastor’s that were willing to throw away the old agenda for the Lord’s. What the West Coast would not welcome, the East Cost of the USA has begun to accept from the Lord. It is just a few Pastor’s so far, but they are going to be the instruments God will bring this spiritual revolution into being.
Why am I writing this, because the Lord said, "there will be a generation that will seek the Lord." That generation is here and nothing our "religious traditions can do" will stop it. There is a spiritual revolution happening in the hearts of the Omega Generation (30 and under) that will not be stopped or quenched.
They will leave the "dead church, dead ministries" because they want the true and genuine God and His presence if the Leaders of our generation won’t change and make room for them. They don't want talk, hype or empty youth groups, more games and pizza that have become social or Christina dating clubs and not real training and equipping centers. God is looking for Pastor's that will open a door to the young people.
A door not to the OK Corral, but to the very heartbeat of God. He is looking for leaders who will pour out their lives for these young people to be all God created them to be. They won't use the youth for their own purposes and plans or to build their church. They will equip them and empower them in the Lord and to truly know the Lord and His manifest Presence to go to every city in the USA and the nations burning in the Flame of God. These are the Pastor's God is rising up in this hour.
To you older Pastor’s that have built your ministry the way you want it to be and successful in your own eyes and will not budge or change to meet the Lord’s need in this hour, the day of judgment is coming to the House of the Lord. Your ministries may continue but they will be void of the power and presence of God. God is going to remove His fire bringers from your midst into His own pasture to feed them.
From this Generation, God will rise up teenagers and 20 years old to become shepherds that will be like David to care, shepherd, train and equip this generation until it can rise up to it's feet. These new young shepherds will walk in Apostolic and Prophetic gifting like we have never seen. They will become a (sign and omen) and bring a divide in the house of God between the sheep and the goats. They will become a sign and a wonder amidst the religious spirit, anti-christ spirit, and Jezebel spirit that has brought compromise into the House of God.
Their mouths will not be shut, no matter how hard the religious leaders will try to stop them. Matter of fact the persecution against these young ones will cause them to even rise up in a deeper level of anointing and power. The more they are persecuted the stronger God will make them until judgment is released from their mouths against the hirelings, false prophets and ministers that fill God's house today. They will expose the darkness for what it is and bring the counterfeit into the light for all to see. This is Joel's army rising to it's feet. The likes we have never seen before.
God is calling this "generation that will seek Him,” to their rightful inheritance. They will have fire in their eyes and a sword in their mouth. They will be the forerunners that will usher in the 2nd coming of our Lord. We can either join in with what God is doing and change or not. We can be the ones that God will use to train and equip this generation and also learn from what God is doing in them? We can be the ones to walk side by side with the in this last great outpouring that is to come, or we can oppose them and find ourselves fighting against God Himself.
The choice has come. A spiritual revolution has come and it is time to change before we are left behind outside the very will of God we desire to be in. At our first conference in Millikan CO a 13 year old girl said, “your generation sees God in black and white and our generation sees God in multi-color. We need your black and white and you need our multicolor to become one family and army of the Lord! Selah!
