A sketchpad for me. A canvas for us. My generation. Our generation. Younger generations. Of course...old generations. I moved to Picayune, Mississippi three years ago. I was standing outside near woods on at Grace Fellowship Church in Winnsboro, Tx where my dad is pastor and all of the sudden I heard Jesus whisper, "Before the day is over, I will tell you what is next." I love my dad, my mom, my family, the church, but God came that day. What do you do? Say no and be miserable (price of compromise and disobedience) or shout yes and dance? Nietzsche hated Christianity cause he said in "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" that he could only serve a God who could dance. How sad. My question is, "Who were the Christians so boring and dry and uncreative as to make Nietzsche think Christ didn't dance?" That night a man mentioned working with youth in MS, so that night i told the Lord, "If it is Your will for me to go to MS and work with teenagers, have something 'Mississippi' happen tomorrow." Laugh with me. Not too "profound" of a fleece prayer, huh? lol. The next day came, and Pastor Allen, a senior pastor here in Picayune, MS called and the journey started. I love it here. This is my mission field. Maybe America needs missionaries more than anywhere else in the world? We are so "saved" we are lost.Anyways, long story short, within the first few months, God put Ezekiel 37 on my heart for what He was wanting to do here in Picayune with teenagers. Usually, if something comes and within a month or so i forget it, then maybe it wasn't God. But three years later, I feel this more than ever. Strong. Alive. Burning. Fire can feel good when it comes to the Holy Spirit. This revelation has grown in my heart. Now I believe it is for the youth of Picayune, Pearl River County, and youth all over the nation (and world?). I am a little person with big things in my heart. I believe Jesus is ok with that. lol.So, a "37 revolution" is where God does what is written in Ezekiel 37 (Old Testament Bible) in the hearts and lives of our teenagers today. In verse 4, God tells Ezekiel to prophecy, "O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!" In verse 9, God tells Ezekiel to prophecy, "Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live." Notice how the two things God tells Ezekiel to pray over his generation did not involve asking. God said to pray by declaring. God was that committed. It wasn't up for negotation. It wasn't something probable. It was in God's heart strong and unshakable. God is ready. God is willing. God is strong. God is patiently waiting to move in a hurry! And the passage ends with reality...what God did. Verse 10 reads, "So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army." Breath came. Teenagers live. Stand on their feet. Becoming a great army to accomplish in these end times the purposes of Jesus Christ on the earth.
Here. Now. Breathe...
a 37 revolution.
