Teenagers/Jesus

Here I am listening to some music...yes it's E.T. by Katy Perry and of course some Bruno Mars, etc. I am not going to lie, I can really feel heaven in some of those songs. But as I sit hear listening to music (this one is Skyscraper by Lovato) I simply must write a bit about the teenagers I've been around.

I have grown up in a church where I used to help lead a kid's group. I've grown up with these kids and love them dearly and have seen them become God loving teenagers who really enjoy real Jesus. Now I pop in at their youth group some times and keep relationships with them. I see so much glory in them and am sooo refreshed by them because they are soooo real! Anyhozers we had a just girl's sleepover prayer thing Friday night. God blew me away with those girls. I ended up staying up til 2 am joining the girls as they opened up and received love and prayers through one another. They also prayed for me and I received words from God and sooooo much love! Now that is heaven on earth.

Lately I have also been joining the teen class as a support to their young teacher, to be around them, and to be honest... because I get bored during the sermon. I love it because they are so open for Jesus to move. And God has used me to give the teens a little nudge when it comes to healing. I encouraged them to just declare the healing and keep it simple. Well over the past few weeks a kid got his back healed instantly and just today a girl got instantly healed from her headache and another from her knee! But what was most awesome to me was to see the kids step up and let Jesus use them and how excited they got when it worked! Praise God! 

So now I am going to lead the teen Sunday school class next quarter and I am pumped. I just can't wait to tell them what Jesus has done for them on the cross, to tell to them more about the Good News, and to empower them and let them lead. I haven't felt this thrilled and excited in awhile. If you want to pray for me and these teens I'll totally take it. (Readers feel free to share your own Jesus-ness in the comments too and pray. You all got Jesus and His light!) It is so true that when the older generation bends down to lift up the younger you feel soooooooo good! It is truly exhilarating. I feel soooo alive right now. It is probably also because God reminded me through the gals prayers that night what an influence I have made on the girls. Sometimes we just don't realize how much we shine and it is soooo encouraging to hear it. Praise God. We are His lights. We can enjoy Him, He enjoys us, we enjoy others, and they enjoy us. Let's do it! Go Generation by Generation!!!
