YOUTH RALLY UPDATE

YOUTH RALLY - CHULA VISTA, CALIFORNIA

JULY 16, 2013

We had a wonderful time in Chula Vista (San Diego area, California). Bro Chepe, the Youth Leader has a heart to see young people come to experience the Almighty power of God. Thanks for the invite. We shared some powerful messages to challenge and inspire the youth, young adults and those young at heart to become actively involved in participating in what the Holy Spirit is doing today.

Our first meeting on Friday night, the Holy Spirit decided to give us some prophetic signs which were confirmed, as we ministered to several people. Pastor Frankie, my interpreter and I preached a messages called, "Sir, we want to see Jesus". The title was taken from the John 12:20-22.

The Spirit spoke to us that as the Greeks (educated, philosophers, scientists) came looking for Jesus, so will it happen in this day. The scientific community is about to be turned upside down and many theories and subjects that were thought to be facts, will be realized as false. We must be an expression of the Christ, and learn to walk in the supernatural. "The people who do know their God will do exploits (acts)."

In the record of John chapter 12, what was it that caused the Greeks to come and request an audience with Jesus? He had just worked one of His greatest miracles. He raised Lazarus from the dead, who had been dead 4 days and decomposing. It was the supernatural that stirred the Greek community.

We can have revelation knowledge, cute Christian cliches, eloquent speakers with the ability to quote and memorize the holy books verbatim. We can have the most talented musicians and singers to grace our platform. We may build beautiful buildings and put a cross on them, fill them with all the modern comforts and with luke-warm people. We may use the latest marketing strategies, spend a small fortune on advertisement and media, in hopes to lure people. At the end of the day, it will be the supernatural, something that defies science, the natural mind and logic, that cause the world to want to see Jesus. They have seen all of the above carnal efforts and are not moved, nor impressed. Jesus even said, "Except they see signs and miracles they will not believe." John 4:48

Jesus gave us the key to living in the supernatural in John 12:24-25. "Except a grain of wheat falls into the ground and die..." There must be a death to the ego, the illusionary you (us), so that the Christ might be seen fully. We must overcome the need to be seen, heard or to be right.

We may talk about social injustices, the evils in the world, the government, the devil, or many other things we view as problems. The cry of all humanity, whether they know it or not yet remains loud and clear, "SIR, WE WANT TO SEE JESUS!!!! SIR, WE WANT TO SEE JESUS!!!!" They are expecting His true disciples to show them JESUS. The Jesus of unconditional all inclusive LOVE. The Jesus that's the same yesterday, today and forevermore and yet works miracles.

This is the message we shared the first night. The Glory was very heavy in the building, as we rejoiced and danced wildly with unrestrained emotions before the King of Glory. Everyone was touched and young people came to repentance - a changing of their minds and desired to see Jesus and did experience Him.

Our 2nd night, the Holy Spirit had us teach on Jephthah's life, the 9th Judge over Israel. We shared about how to deal with Rejection and peer pressure as a young person or young at heart. Jephthah came from a very dysfunctional family, his mother was a whore, he was disinherited by his half-brothers, the scandal was so bad, he had to move to another city. He knew rejection all of his life and found himself becoming a "gang-leader" of other men and youth that were rejects. Judges 11

Jephthah had an identity crisis, he did not know who he was. God had already declared him a warrior and a man of valor (resourceful, strength, ability, powerful, wealthy). After being able to "move on" from those who tolerated him, to those who Celebrated him - he discovered himself and was empowered. Later, the ones that rejected him and talked about him needed him and went looking for him.

Don't waste your time on people that only tolerate you!! We encouraged the young people to be different, unique, and be a leader. We challenged the young men not to "sag" their pants and show their butt or lack of butt. We challenged the young women to "leave something for the imagination" when they dress. We encouraged the young people to not look "ghetto" or like a "whore" just because it's trendy. Everyone laughed out loudly and agreed.

We are ambassadors of the Kingdom of God, our inward and outer life should reflect that. Thank God for His grace to speak the truth in love and not out of religious criticism.

We encouraged parents to invest in their kids and young people what they wanted to see them manifest. Kids want and need to be parented. Would to God that more parents would stop trying to be their children friend and be a parent.

We were blessed by Dutch & Ashley Van Haren, a righteous Rapping duo; also with Jade & Jonathan Sualata righteous Rapping. We ended the meeting with Euro-dance music, Techno and Rap with disco lights and dancing. It was Saturday Night LIVE. (I must confess, I am a party waiting to happen).

Sunday was very different. The Presence was very thick during the Praise/Worship...Our messages was, "Giving Birth to Your Prophecy". We just channeled whatever Spirit was bringing forth at that time. The Spirit took the words and ministered them to the hearts of all, as some just wept throughout the calm message. At the end we prayed for all the Youth and had them lay hands and pray for other adults. It was a wonderful time of basking in His glory.

Thank you Pastor Frankie & Rev. Jean Paul, my interpreters and all of those that were a part of this. God's Spirit is being poured out upon all flesh. We are sensing and seeing a mighty move in the Latino communities. We have been honored and blessed to work/minister in that community for many years in various countries.

Keep in prayer the Youth of our day; especially those in the minority communities (Black, Latino & First Nation-Indian). They are "at risk communities", with higher potentials for being victims of violence, murder and racially motivated crimes. Nevertheless, where sin, injustice and evil abound, the grace and power of God will much more abound.

The evil ones seeks to use the current news story of injustice to create race riots and more blood shed in this country. They seek to divide and conquer by using the energy of our youth... opening old wounds and stirring up hatred. The prayers of the righteous yet avails much and Love is yet the greatest force or emotion in the universe. Choose Love.

Ok, let's end this on a Party note. (This may not be for everyone) Some of you that were a part of our Mystery School in Seattle, or visited our yearly conference will remember this party song we often played. It's ok if you feel compelled to jump around.

Share this with all you know.
