You In?

Week 8 - Kristin Williams. He was amazing. I can't even believe how changed I feel inside and the frustration that I feel from wanting more of God. Feeling the Holy Spirit physically on you is the most motivation, powerful, peaceful, intense, ... words don't do justice - it's just so unbelievable. I want it 24/7.. only not because then it woulnd't be as valued I guess. But anyhow, you get the point. If people could just feel it and see for themselves .. they couldn't not believe.
A few things that Kristin had talked about really hit me last week about how we, as young people behave. A lof ot if was about why young people are they way they are:
* we don't have short attention spans, we're allergic to boredum because God created us to find excitement in Him. Highs only last for a short time - God last FOREVER and that's why its never enough, that's why material things don't satisfy, because they aren't nearly as exciting as God's plan is for us. Give him a chance.
* frustration towards injustice - abortion .. stats say that 1/3 of my generation were killed in abortion, if that doesn't upset you.. read it again and again until you understand how many people that is.
* we were built to fight for what's right
* we were built to have a relationship with God - that's why so many young people feel like somethings missing - because something is missing - GOD. No wonder so many young people have problems that are going unexplained.. there's a massive missing ink.
* there are many more things .. but basically we are built to warriors of God, we were built for relationships, we were built for seeing justice, we were built to stand through the hard times (he explained it like turbulance.. its not normal but we will survive)
Another thing that was funny / motivating was how he described the devil and that he should definitely be mad, because he got thrown out of God's presence, he can't ever get that back because of one mistake.. so really, he's trying to torture us and get us as far from God as possible, but God banished him to be tortured by us -- so go for it, torture him by choosing God everytime.
I'm just.. overwhelmbed by how obvious God is. Nature is screaming at us that Jesus is coming back. The earthquakes.. the floods.. the trees.. clouds, wind - EVERYTHING. I dunno, I was just really inspired to go out and let these people know why they are hurting and striving towards finding an answer they can't find yet. I'll bring them the answer, who else is in? Anyways, there is a lot more where that came from.. but take it as an encouragement - fight for it. He is worth it.
