Highlights from Greenfield Tour Stop

Praise God, His Holy Spirit has been busy at Templo Emanuel. The last time we visited the youth there back in December of 03, the youth group consisted of a core group of fired-up leaders in training. When we visited this time last Tuesday, the church was near full capacity with youth seeking after God with all their HMS (heart, mind, and strength). It's amazing what vision, training and dedication can do in a year!

We were able to kick our shoes off and just praise God at the top of our souls in absolute freedom. The presence and anointing of God was so strong that it made it "easy" to flow in ministry. Bro Izzy, Sister Suzie, and Bro Jonathan did an awesome opening drama that set the theme for that night. As they ministered to the sound of Switchfoot's "Dare You To Move," it brought back memories of Winter Camp in the chow hall and an impromptu drama for Speed the Light.

After this, we challenged the Greenfield youth to memorize a simple prayer that could save a life. The prayer is called "Repeat After Me." It is the prayer that we have used to train our children at Faith, Hope, and Love Center in Hollister. It includes the ABC's of Salvation, which are "Admit," "Believe," "Confess," and "Commit." To give the young people some motivation, I called my 6-year old son Danny Boy up to the front and asked him to recite it by memory. On a side note, Danny Boy memorized the prayer on his own in a few minutes with absolutely no pressure from me. It took me about 18 years before I got it down right. Here is how it goes:

Repeat After Me

Jesus,

I Admit I am a sinner

I Believe that you died for my sins

I Confess my sins and ask you to forgive me

I Commit my life to you now as my Lord, Amen.

Not to be outdone, after a few minutes one by one a motivated T.E. young evangelist got up in front of the huge group and led them to the Lord using "Repeat After Me." It was awesome to see young people learning a simple method that could result in the miracle of salvation. Now, when they are pressed for the right words, they can easily revert back to a simple, self-contained prayer of Salvation that begins with the words "Repeat After Me." Everything I needed to know about life, I learned in Sunday School, no doubt!

Then it was time for some anointed puppets to minister. "Uncle Tony" who played Bernie the Funeral Home Director and "Danny" (no relation) who played Lazarus ministered in a small skit about how hard it is for a formerly dead person to get a refund. The puppet skit really gave a good lead-in to that night's message. It is a message to an army of young people in the Salinas Section that is about to be resurrected.

A Terracotta Soldier

I told the story of how Chinese peasants had unearthed an amazing archeological discovery in the Xi'an Province of China back in 1974. As they dug through ancient walls of dirt and clay they found eyes frozen in time staring back at them. Eyes belonging to soldier statues made of terracotta clay. The more they dug, the more they found, until finally over 8,000 statues of a sleeping army of infantrymen, calvary, and officers were discovered in perfect ranks stationary as if ready to march at a moment's notice.

Standing By

This army had been buried by the Emperor Qin who had desperately tried to unite the warring factions and provinces of China over 2000 years ago. This is about the time that Jesus was beginning His ministry and mobilizing another sleeping army that would one day awaken at the Day of Pentecost and shake the world upside down.

The Lord led me to share Ezekiel's call to the Valley of Dry Bones, where he prophesied to the dry and seemingly dead remnant of the House of Israel. A people that would one day resurrect and enter into their inheritance as a mighty army! Powerful man.

Young People of the Salinas Section, are you ready for a revolution? Are you ready to rise up and march around the four corners of our world in last day revival? The potential of our army of soul-winners, disciple-builders, and missionary-senders is so huge it's beyond all of our imaginations. If one can put 1,000 demons to flight and two can put 10,000 packing their bags, just think of what we can do together as a Section as a Movement of young people. Just imagine with me if we join forces and unite just as the Emperor Qin tried all his life to do for his beloved China. He wasn't a man of God, but he was a man of vision and passion, and he was a man on a mission. His army of sleeping soldiers was the embodiment of his greatest dreams for his people. A people united.

An Army that's Rousing

In His last hours on the earth, Christ cried out to God that His children would be as one as He and the Father are one. The heart of God is that we wake up from our slumber like the apostles at Gesthamane and join Him in prayer and in action and be as one in this Great Commission.

Just say the word!

That time is now. And as surely as the Lord lives, He is pouring out His Spirit right now and issuing the orders for this army to get up and move!

Youth of the Salinas Section: join with us in our last day push, in this end-time all out war for the souls of mankind in our geographic area, on our doorstep to the world! Ya es tiempo, la lucha nuestra! La causa! A Revolution. Once you get the taste of winning souls, you'll never lose it. You'll live for it. There's no adrenaline-pumping rush like it. Come on, I dare you to...

Move in Jesus' name!
