God is AWESOME!!!!

It's been awhile since my last post but I'm happy to say it's because the Spirit of God has been moving so strong in my life it has really blown my mind. A few weeks ago myself ad 2 of the most Spirit filled men I know did a podcast about the Holy Spirit and that day God moved in such a powerful way and we could not but to be overwhelmed by this. We took a long hard look at ourselves and what Gods plan was and took ourselves out of the picture and let Him run the show. Yes it was hard but we did it! We felt God pointing us in a direction that was only things we talked about but He said shut your mouth and start doing it. So we did! Tonight we took our youth to our local park located right in the middle of main street for everybody in our little town to see and thats where we held our youth service. Before we started we walked over to the fire dept. and had prayer with them yes as you can imagine they were very thankful but had that look like we had lost our minds. About ten minutes into our service some guy came up and sat with us for bit. How awesome is that?!!! Now he did not stay for the whole service but in our little town word got out fast which is what we want. We want to be different because the way church has been going for the past 50 years or better just aint cutting it anymore. Now I'm not saying church don't work but keeping in confined to four walls with people in fancy clothes and some nut giving his opinion on what the Bible says instead of Preaching what God said to is not working. Thats right God is not John Denver singing sunshine on my shoulders and giving you a pat on the back for giving Him ONE hour of your week to come to His house and sleep. Naw it aint like that He said take His word not your opinion to the ends of the earth so that means we have to move from our comfort zones into this sick and dying world and bust hells gates wide open with the WORD OF GOD!!!! Enough soap box. In the past month as we gone through our discipleship lesson God has moved in the teens lives and it showed tonight as they told us how they can use their God given gifts in everyday life to bring honor and glory to God. All I can say is to God be the Glory! Amen!!!

The Spirit is Leading

In our Youth group at LifePointe (The Pointe) we have going through the Bible to see how Jesus taught His famous 12 to go out and change the world. Through this study the Holy Spirit has moved in my wifes heart and brought an idea to lite that goes beyond anything our little town has ever seen. We will go out on Friday May 28th and invite the unwanted to our church parking lot for free pizza. Not such a big deal? Well this will be done at 11:00 at night in the parking lot and our seats will be the bed of pickup trucks! Everybody I know whats to know how to get youths attention. This question haunts me too. What do we do? Thats not the question we should be asking the question we should be asking is how far are we willing to go to reach the youth of this generation. Are we willing to go out into the War Zone and fight for those out dying spiritually everyday? For most us the answer is no because it will cost us staying out past our bedtime,hanging out with the "bad people" and even worse having somebody see us talking to somebody not on our social level (OH!!!!NO!!! I WILL BE THOUGHT LESS OF). If that is your thinking sorry but you have bigger issues!!!! I am praying to DIRECTLY to the Holy Spirit that He would make a major move through us as He did in the Book of Acts and bring the biggest Revival this little town has ever seen!!! I hope you will join us in prayer as we go and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the midst of Hell and and rejoice with us for what the Spirit is doing and going to do.
