Talking ’bout my generation”
-The Who We’re finishing up our third week on the road. We’ve spoken at a lot of churches. But there’s one idea that seems to be coming up again and again. The idea that our generation- my generation- is going to change the world.
It’s an idea that I’ve kinda grown accustomed to and begun to take for granted. AIM is always talking about it so it’s not a new concept for me. But a pastor last week reminded me that biblically speaking every time a Deliverer was going to arise, they would do everything they could to kill off that generation. Pharoah attempted to kill off Moses’ generation. Herod killed all the baby boys in Jesus’ town. And almost 40 years ago, abortion was legalized. The world has tried to literally kill off my generation and the one before it.
Such oppression only stands when there is such great potential. My generation has such great potential.
Going around seeing my age rise up and become an army that will change the world- that is changing the world- has brought me into a new understanding. Because the Lord is doing something in my generation.I am honored that He has chosen me for such a time and season as this. I am honored to be a part of my generation.
But we’re not the only ones called to change the world.
In Joel 2:28, it says that “old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.” One of my coaches, Ted Hansen, told me that the problem today is that we’ve flipflopped this passage. In today’s world, the young men have the dreams but they can’t see the vision of how to get there. And the old men have the visions and experiences, but they’ve stopped dreaming.
