Today i am presenting you with a couple of other articles that came in from one of the ministries that we are networked with, concerning what the Lord is doing with the youth in different areas.
This will surely provoke some of the older generation to fervently seek after God and to realize what opportunities may be passing them by while sitting on the banks of the River of God.
It's surely time to jump into the river and to leave traditions behind that would damper or to keep our youth in a religion-imposed box.
During the move of God which is on the increase, all should allow the Lord to break off the old-mindsets in exchange for His glorious presence in our lives, so that we will be able to impact and to also encourage a new generation that God is raising up .
The Lord desires to use the older generation to come forth as spiritual Fathers and Mothers who will nurture the youth in this amazing and radical youth revolution, along with the powerful anointing that is being released in them.
Youth are being drawn to the Lord across the nations by the thousands, who are very radical in comparison to what the Church has been used to over the years. They are hungry for God and ready to leave a mark on their generation, and to take the Kingdom by force.
Overseas in some of the muslim nations, the radical fundamentalists are training their youth at a very early age in terrorism and suicide bombing, while the Lord is raising up a radical new generation of youth who will terrorize the devils kingdom and "to explode" with the true message, power and love of Jesus Christ.
These youth are being clothed with the fatigues of the righteousness of God and have the glory of God shining upon them. The weapons of their warfare are not carnal, but are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.
Some of them are on their way to bootcamp, while others have already graduated and are now being moved to the frontlines of battle. But the Lord is with them.
These are walking in the fear (awe and reverance) of the Lord, while looking forward to the precious time that they get to spend in the presence of God, for hours on end.
They are finding their intimacy with the Lord, in abandoning themselves in His presence. They are learning how to be intimate with the Father and to also have a heart for a lost and dying generation.
Being used of God is not limited to the age of a person, as everyone in the free world or otherwise, has the same opportunity and choices to know, to seek, to obey and to serve God. However, much of the learned religious mentality that many people have been conditioned in over the years is not sufficient or compatible with the endtime move of the Spirit.
Many are being required by God to unlearn the old ways, while allowing the Lord to move them into His new way of doing things.
(Note: It's not new to God, but will be new to us when we learn of His ways.)
God is desiring to move people off of the padded "phews" and into the harvest that is now upon us while devoting a portion of that time to be spiritual parents to a new generation that He is raising up.
If those spiritual parents try to put these kids in a religious box, they will break out of it, only to find someone else that will nurture them who has the heart of God in this fresh and new move of the Spirit.
Will you be one of those who will cast aside your "old box" for your own sake, for the sake of the youth and for the sake of the Kingdom of God?
Embrace them, love them, teach them the Word, and encourage them to arise as a part of God's endtime Army who will go forward, to do the works and exploits of Christ.
In doing this, the Lord will also continue to use many of the older generation in an awesome way as well. But it all depends on how they are willing to change and to align themselves with the heart of God.
The Lord knows exactly what it will take to get His people to where they need to be in Him. However, the straight and narrow road of obedience to God is the best route to take to find your destiny in Him.
He loves you and so do we here.

SPIRITUAL GRAND-KIDS DO MIGHTY WORKS
By Bob Brasset
Extreme Healing Ministry
Victoria, BC, Canada
Over the past 10 months or so, I've noticed something quite wonderful. It's an acceleration in the spirit. All that we've been doing in the nation of the earth for the past seven years - healings, salvations, signs and wonders and the miraculous - are here, BUT now, they seem to be happening faster and increasing in quality and number.
The other notable diference I've noticed is that they seem to be now happening in the street and the marketplace and the ones spearheading this are the youth.
I want to ask those reading this report, "Do you notice this as well?" Isn't this a new season of fruitfulness we've entered? Would you mind giving me some feedback? Please send me reports of changes you've noticed and experiences you are having with healing the miraculous.
SPIRITUAL GRANDSONS EXCELL
I'm in my 60's. I have spiritual sons in thier 40's who are doing truly wonderful exploits but it is the spiritual grandsons, those in their teens and twenties, who have truly surprised me and who are "taking it beyond" anything I, or my spiritual sons have experienced. Let me explain.
I've been spending time with these young people - these spiritual grandkids. They are absolutely radical and sold out. They've accepted my training and mentoring and are taking this to new levels.
HOW THEY OPERATE
Here's how basically they operate. They lavish time each day in the presence of the Lord, the secret place of intimacy (Psalm 91), sometimes 7 or 8 hours at a stretch. Then they come with me or sometimes go out alone.
They remind me of how Wigglesworth or Finney would just sit down near people, not say a word, but just project God's presence. The people would begin shaking, then weeping, then crying out for mercy.
Well, that's exactly what is happening now both here in Victoria in North America and abroad. They sit down near people. After 15 orn 20 minutes, the people begin shaking, then sweating, then weeping, then asking "what is happening to me?"
At this point, one of us intervenes and tells them, "you need Jesus." They begin repenting and crying out. They they receive Jesus Often what happens next, usually without our initiating anything, is that demons begin to manifest and are quickly cast out.
Sometimes there are bystanders, sometimes not. Remember this is almost always in a public place. Then, after about another 10 minutes, the atmosphere changes and the power of God touches them and they begin speaking in tongues, again usually without my help or encouragement from my spiritual grandkids or me. This goes on for about 20 minutes and we don't interrupt.

ACTS OF AGGRESSION
Larry R. Taylor
Mat 11:12 "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."
One of the more popular interpretations of the words spoken by Jesus in Matthew 11:12 is that the Kingdom of God is taken by those who aggressively pursue the Kingdom. This understanding is consistent with the clearer statement found in Hebrews 11:6:
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
This morning I heard the Lord saying He desires a passionate people not a passive people. Of course we know He loves all people, especially His own. But there is a release reserved for those who demonstrate by their actions an aggressive posture towards His presence and His promises.
I believe both from scripture and experience that the Lord is pleased with those who demonstrate a type of faith that will not be denied. A few years ago while ministering in San Diego I witnessed a startling example firsthand.
As I was preaching in a Sunday evening service a group of teenagers were seated near the front. The whole time I was speaking they seemed to be restless. They were fidgeting and on the edge of their seats the entire message.
I misinterpreted their behavior thinking they wanted me to finish quickly so they could get on with important stuff like cell phoning their friends.
When I gave the altar call for those who wanted to be filled with the glory of the Lord, all 14 or so of the teenagers ran to the front. As they ran to the front I realized how badly I had misread the situation.
