Here's another segment from my book for 12-18 year olds.
Be a World Changer
And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. (Joel 2:28-29)
In the passage above, Joel tells how God pours out His Spirit on young people. The Lord has been speaking to a number of people about how He will raise up a generation of young people to begin a world revival. A nameless, faceless generation will perform signs and wonders as never before experienced. Children will heal the sick, cast out evil spirits, and prophesy. You are on the forefront of this supernatural generation. Expect the miraculous!
A Supernatural Generation
Mike Bickle, who heads up the International House of Prayers, based in Kansas City, says we are on the threshold of a supernatural generation. Mighty signs and wonders never before seen will be performed by young people. Children will heal the sick, cast out evil spirits, and prophesy.
Bobby Conner, a nationally recognized speaker, had a vision of people taking letters of induction into Joel’s army out of their mailboxes. He believes God is already calling this army to come forth. What will Joel’s army accomplish? Mighty signs and wonders on a level not experienced in our lifetime. These will not be so called big shots; these will be ordinary everyday men and women, boys and girls with an awesome anointing of God’s presence and power upon their lives. Expect to see great and mighty displays and demonstrations of God’s power,” says Conner.
An Angel of the Lord told Bob Jones, a well known prophet, that God is sending out millions of draft notices now to His end-time army. The angel said, “God has saved the best of every blood line until now.”
“No prophet or apostle who ever lived equaled the power of these individuals in this great army of the Lord in these last days. No one ever had it, not even Elijah or Peter or Paul. No one has enjoyed the power that is going to rest on this army,” said the prophet Bob Jones, who has been talking about this army since the 1970’s.
Rick Joyner, another well known prophet, wrote about this end-time generation.
“We are coming to the time when we will see authentic apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, like they have not really been seen since the first century. Then they will go to even new heights of effectiveness. This is not necessarily because they are greater leaders than the first century apostles, but because this is not the church coming out of Egypt, but the one coming out of the wilderness ready to conquer its inheritance.”
A Roar from Zion
Joel 3 says that God will wake up the men of war with a roar from Zion. I once had a vision of what I believe that will resemble. While worshiping, I saw Jesus roaring like a lion over us. The sound caused a fierce love to reverberate through our bodies. Infused with His love and compassion we go into the streets, back alleys, and garbage heaps to recover the lost. God’s Spirit will overtake us like a lion so we will be fierce in bringing them in. Our hearts will become fierce about others receiving their salvation because we will not want one person to be lost.
