I SAY THIS TO MYSELF FIRST, AND THEN TO YOU, MY GENERATION.
WAKE UP.
WHAT IS THE POINT? WHAT ARE WE WORKING SO HARD FOR? COMPETING
SO VICIOUSLY FOR? BUILDING UP
STOREHOUSES FOR? FEEDING OUR PRIDE FOR?
DO WE WANT FREEDOM?
TRUE FREEDOM? COMPLETE AND TOTAL
BLISSFUL FREEDOM?
GAH. ANDI, WAKE UP! GENERATION, WAKE UP!
WALK AWAY. WALK AWAY FROM THE WORLD’S EXPECTATIONS AND
STANDARDS. TAKE A CHANCE ON SOMETHING. BE A PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER. SOMETHING
BETTER. SOMETHING OUTSIDE YOURSELF!
RISE UP OUT OF MEDIOCRITY AND REGULAR LIVING. DO WE JUST
WANT TO BE ANOTHER “REGULAR” GENERATION? ANOTHER TIMELINE OF FADS, STATS,
STOCKS, AND HITS THAT JUST COME AND GO?
OR DO WE REALLY WANT TO RISE UP? DO WE ACTUALLY WANT TO WALK
AS WARRIORS, AS AGENTS OF CHANGE, AS RIGHTEOUS, AS PRINCES AND PRINCESSES, SONS
AND DAUGHTERS?
ARE WE ALL TALK? OR ARE WE GOING TO RISE TO ACTION!?
SERIOUSLY.
LET’S STAND UP.
LET’S BE BETTER.
LET’S BE WHO WE ARE CALLED TO BE.
WE ARE HEIRS.
AND THIS IS NOT A
FAIRY TALE.
THIS IS TRUTH.
ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY HAS BEEN GIVEN TO US.
WE HAVE THE POWER TO LITERALLY
RAISE THE DEAD, HEAL THE SICK, CAST OUT THE FREAKING DEMONS!
THIS STUFF IS REAL.
JESUS SAID IN JOHN 14:12, “I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, WHOEVER BELIEVES IN ME WILL ALSO
DO THE WORKS THAT I DO; AND GREATER
WORKS THAN THESE HE WILL DO.”
HE SAID WE WOULD BE DOING THE STUFF! THE CRAZY MIRACLE
STUFF! THE KINGDOM BRINGING STUFF!
THE UNBELIEVEABLE STUFF COULD ACTUALLY BECOME BELIEVEABLE,
BECAUSE WE COULD BE DOING IT OURSELVES!
SO, LET’S QUIT SITTING AROUND DOING BIBLE STUDIES AND
EXEGESIS ON HIS WORDS AND ACTUALLY TAKE THEM LITERALLY. ACTUALLY LIVE THEM. WHY ARE WE HOLDING BACK?
ARE WE AFRIAD?
IS IT BECAUSE IT IS UNCOMFORTABLE?
WHAT THE CRAP IS THAT!
WHO ARE WE?
WE ARE NOT WARRIORS, WE ARE NOT VICTORS, WE ARE NOT TRULY LIVING UNTIL WE GET UNAFRAID.
UNTIL WE STEP OUT OF OUR SAFE LITTLE BOXES AND COMFORT ZONES. UNTIL WE TRUST AND STEP INTO FAITH.
OUR GOD IS NOT A GOD OF TIMIDITY, BUT OF BOLDNESS! COME ON,
ANDI! COME ON, GENERATION!
WE HAVE GOT TO RISE UP OUT OF THIS LAZINESS, THIS STUPOR,
THIS SETTLEMENT FOR THE MUNDANE. WE’VE GOT TO RECOGNIZE THE ENEMY AND THE GAMES
HE’S PLAYING. THE DISTRACTIONS HE LURES US WITH. THE COMFORTS. THE MEDIOCRITY.
RISE UP! WE ARE THE GENERATION!
WE WILL SEE THE KINGDOM
OF HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH!
WE WILL SEE TRUTH REIGN.
PEOPLE WON TO FREEDOM.
BLIND SEE.
LIMBS GROW.
WE WILL SEE IT!
IT IS HAPPENING RIGHT
NOW! DAILY!
SO LET’S GET UP! LET’S BE A PART OF IT!
LET’S ACTUALLY BELIEVE.
LET’S SEE THE RED LETTERS IN OUR OWN LIVES!
THIS IS TRUTH.
TRUTH SETS US FREE!
SO, BE BOLD.
BE UNAFRAID.
WALK UPRIGHT WITH STRENGTH AND COURAGE.
CHIN UP.
ARMOR ON.
WE ARE THE GENERATION.
WE WILL TAKE BACK THE NATIONS.
THEY ARE OURS.
THE ENEMY HAS NO CLAIM.
THERE IS AN ENTIRE ARMY
OF SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE ONLY KING RISING UP TO TAKE WHAT’S BEEN
STOLEN.
IT IS OURS.
WE WILL INHERIT THE
EARTH.
LET’S RECLAIM IT, GENERATION.
RISE UP!
