Shawn, Christena and I knew tonight was going to be a great night for Jesus. Christena got sick, we were struggling with impatience, we weren't completely ready for youth group... things just weren't going the way they were suppose to.
2 kids came to youth group early to finish the Look study (4 steps that explain the gospel). Tonight was their last step; confess, believe and repent. We went through all the steps with them, explained what it means to receive Jesus into your heart and follow Him, and they said they understand and want to do it, so we got a new sister and brother into the family of Christ! Praise Jesus! :)
Then our youth group started. We played a couple of games, had fun, hung out, listened to music... and then we talked about the power of God. We talked about Saul and his salvation from Acts 9. Saul was an evil man but nothing is impossible for God. He revealed Himself to Saul and changed his heart, his life! We shared a couple of other stories of really powerful conversions and God's power, and then we showed a video of Brian Welch, former lead guitarist of the band Korn. He has an amazing testimony, you can listen to it here.
I don't think our kids can compare themselves to Brian Welch at all, but it's so amazing to hear his testimony and see his changed life! Most of them have heard of the band Korn before, and they know what fame does.
It was really powerful.
Shawn and Christena's kids were all over the place; they were fighting, they spilled yoghurt all over the house, they didn't listen or obey... the enemy knew how to try to distract us.
I felt dizzy most of the evening, for no reason. I had food in my stomach, I wasn't thirsty.. it wasn't a physical problem. It was spiritual.
It's almost exciting when you discern something's going on in the spiritual world, even if you can't see it! There's a battle for souls and Jesus is winning!
We don't know what came out of tonight but our youth listened. I hope and pray their hearts are open for God to show them just how powerful He is and what He can do in their lives.
