So I've been doing Youth Gatherings this past summer and have been blessed by my generation for their hunger for G-d. I've just made it a summer thing so this last one on August 30th was the last one for the year, but b/c of so much interest I will be starting them up again next summer.
So here's the vision, invite the youth and the youth at heart to come and worship the Lord with your entire being. Now that includes all denominations, I always make it a free event and I don't want anyone left out. I also have a speaker talk on whatever the Holy Spirit gives to them. I'm very open, keeping the theme "stir up the gift" and encouraging my generation to step out in what G-d has placed in their hands. I'm blessed to say that many were intrested in speaking, the youngest speaker being 18 and the oldest 35, I don't think I'll go any older then that unless the Lord places someone specific on my heart.
At this last meeting, August 30th, I loved how smoothly everything went, Worship lasted for TWO HOURS, with our hearts just crying out for more and more of G-d! Remember this is my Generation!! (I'm 21) so the age group there was like 16 to 27, all worshiping G-d because He's more then worthy!!
The speaker, who was my age, just graduated from college and was just about to enter into a 10 month internship of ministry, I figured this was a great way to send him out. He spoke on expecting G-d's greatness, having realationship with the Father, Son and Holy Ghost and moving into the things that G-d has for you.
At the end of each event we open up the alter and anyone who would like prayer is more then welcome to come and recieve. Everyone usually comes up, wanting a dose of the Holy Ghost, but what I loved about this last one is I saw 3 people get healed from words of knowldege that went forth. Later when I was praying about the event and the people who got healed, I kept hearing the Lord say 5, that 5 people got healed! I'm not sure if the others had gotten healed during the message and they just didn't say anything or maybe on their ride back home, but I was truly blessed that the Lord would come to my event and heal His people. That's very encouraging!!
So now that the summers over the Lord doesn't close one door and not open another!! I will now be doing an all night worship service once a month, the second Saturday of each month, From 10p.m-6a.m If the Lord lays it on your heart to pray for this event please do. We had our first one the 2nd Saturday of August, just to see the turn out and to see how many people were intrested. Many testimonies came from that one night!! but I blog about that at another time.
Many Blessing to all!!!
