Surviving

I have really been thinking a lot lately about our young people in our churches recently and how there are so many of them going into "survival mode." Trying to just hang in there and make it through. This in itself is very disturbing.

Now I really haven't studied this out so I don't have any scriptures to write but I just have my feelings. So I'm truly sorry if you are expecting a lot of bible to back up this post.

I've seen these teens in "survival Mode" for far to long. Something funny about this type of mentality is when they go into this stage they quit witnessing, they quit sharing their testimony, they quite their "soul winning mode"

It's been my desire and my vision to see our young people in "soul winning mode" because when they get a grip on that mode they are far less likely to hit that survival mode. I'm sorry if I'm not making any sense, but I really am ready to see them catch fire. I don't see the possibility of receiving the Holy Ghost and not being on fire. The bible said that when the people in the upper room received the Holy Ghost that cloven tongues like as of FIRE set upon each of them. That's a FIRE that's associated with receiving the Holy Ghost. When we receive the Holy Ghost, we receive that fire.

If your fire has went out, if you're fire is dwindling, it's time to get back that fire, take it back, 'lay aside every weight that doth so easily beset you' and pick up the Holy Ghost and Fire, and begin to go out and win some souls. It's time to hit that select button in our minds and switch ourselves from survival mode to "soul winning mode"

God bless you all!
