The past few weeks have been very hectic but yet joyful and very defining for me..having God speak to me and show me clear directions for the future and yet, still my heart and allow me to rest and flourish in my now. I guess that is the need in today's generation. We are so focused on the promise and the future that we forget the promise giver, we forget that we are in our season now for a purpose and that we should do it well without allowing distractions to get in the way. And we should seek and love Him first.
Learning, learning, learning...growing growing, growing..challenge, challenge, challenge..is all God has been taking me through these few months that I have been back in college, and i think last week was the most significant. It being college break and all, Renee and I were supposed to take some time off to go around Sydney and explore!! (FUN!! I WAS SO EXCITED) but 2 days before break started, God literally challenged me to just not go anywhere but to spend time praying in my room and hearing from Him, also to just pursue His presence and be intimate with Him. I thank God for Godly friends because Renee had no problem with that at all :) she needed time alone with God as well. I have to say it was the best time i have had ever on a break. 3 days that brought clarity and assurance in my heart of His love for me, of the plan He has for me and also intersession for everyone in my world.
The reason I said all that is because you are not too young or old for you to allow God to challenge you. It is not uncool, it is not weird and it is not unheard of. I believe with all my heart as the times are getting darker and darker, as more evil just envelopes our world, God is raising up a generation that will be SET APART for Him and His purposes. A generation that doesn't seek to please men or live according their dictations but that will be completely sold out for God in their heart. A spirit led generation that will not move unless God shows up, that will not speak unless He does and that does not sing unless its' His words.
I am praying with all my heart everyday for my generation and the generation to come. I am praying for God to pour out His Spirit in a way we have never seen or encountered before. That He will blow our minds and cause us to seek Him even more. I pray that if you are reading this you will pray along with me too.
In other news I had an amazing day today too :) it was officially the last day of break..I've had a good rest and to end the day Neereta n I decided it was time for a much needed catch up. We are chatting and laughing like crazy (as we do) we share our hearts and finally we decide to spend time praying together and for each other. Close our eyes and say "Holy Spirit we welcome You" and His presence just comes with such weight and fire. We start worshiping and singing (on Skype :) ) and she begins praying and prophesying. I feel so encouraged after talking to her and praying with her. I am so grateful for this prayer partner/sister God has placed in my life.
Again we are never too young, old, mature or immature to live a life that is set apart and called. The people we spend our time with? they are heaps important too. Young people if you want to stay strong in your relationship with God? find an accountability/prayer partner that will stand with you and will walk with you through life. That will not judge but will love you through all that you go through.
Well that's all for now. I pray that challenged you and somehow spoke to you. Have an amazing week everyone!! :)
PS: Lets by His grace do the month of JUNE well!!
I love you Neereta!! You are a blessing in every way :)
All my love
Crystal
